I am reminded of what that guy with two monotribes can do.
Dear Synthopia, thanks for posting my video! 🙂
Tank2000, thanks for listening and commenting. Is your point that a large modular synth is a waste of money and space or that I’m just under utilizing mine? 😉
I’m sure most synthheads would agree that you can never waste too much money or space on a big wall of knobs and sockets. My wife would not agree but, as she often reminds me, ” it’s not how big it is, it’s what you do with it that counts”
Dear sirs,
I think it is an interesting live jam.
I wouldn’t compare this to any other gig except to stuff produced with the same type of gears.
“….what you do with it that counts” : yeah, sometimes also a single note vibrator ….oops, i mean oscillator can achieve the goal….. my bad, English is not my mothertongue…..
Nice oscillations (or vibrations) to all!
Regards.
Bottom line: you’ve got cool gear, and you are making cool music with it. Rock on.
Hi all,
Thanks for listening and commenting! <3
Yes, I've said for a long time, that regardless of the instrument or medium, I'd rather hear and see what a master can do with the worst tools than what a beginner can do with the best tools. At this point, I don't consider myself either, but . . . I'll keep working on it! 😉
