"Chronoton Cascade" (Sequential Improv)

[djmk1988]

I wanna get married to your sequencers :D

[daleGmoore]

Love it.

[HyenaSeq]

;) i have tears in my eyes.

[1987ViolaPlayer]

Oh my goodness! This is beautiful! I love these sequences. Great work my friend! :D

[LySeRgIa2]

-_- I just want normal analog synths and you have this godly modular...I hate you...very jealous.

[quaja]

it reminds me the Ozric Tentacles... good!

[zuefh]

Thank you! Very nice sound!

[SpaceVoyageur]

bravo exelent!

[JonathanAschalew]

Does anyone know why people can't make sequences like this with Euroracks? They always seem a lot harsher

[lordoid]

@JonathanAschalew People who chose Dotcoms, CotK and other Moog clones love the Mood sound and the classical layout of the Modules. Eurorack offers hundreds of modules that go far beyond that so people tend to experiment more. But of course you can get classical "moogish" sounds with Eurorack modules. (It's just a format anyway). At least it's you who shapes the sound. If you want to sound beautiful you can do it with every modular out there.

[saxfloete]

This is so great. I love pattern music.

[TheCartiles]

Awesome man.the sound is great, puré real electrónic music.Supersound

[Atrix256]

Man this is amazing. very nice, great job i love it

[DJChibbs]

This is what electronic is all about. Today's artists and producers just use sound packs and digital presets on most of their synth gens. This is REAL electronic at its core and I love it.

[gngeannakakes]

Sounds like Jean-Michael Jarre ;-D

[pvmuskosming]

SUPER! THANKS FOR THIS HALLUCINATION MIND COSMIK, I LIKE A LOT THIS KIND OF THINKS, I LIKE TO THE WORD OF "ISAI TOMITA, JEAN MICHELLE-JARRE, MORODER, RICK WAITMAN ETC" GO UP UP UP MY FRIEND, YOU GO BY GOOD WAY!!!!!! THANKS FROM MEXICO!!!!!!!!!!!

[mconner427]

its funny how old technology still sounds much more transient, sublime, and just beautiful. damn i wish i had that.

[ArtBladeOWG]

I know this vid for quite some time now and I still like to watch it / listen to it :) For some reason I like watching how those hands move around turning and switching buttons. More fun to watch than a fancy vid production :D

[geeoh480]

This is very much in the vein as Ash Ra Temple!!

[ukjim]

Superb, I love your manipulations. I want to buy your CD, but you say USA only. Surely you can post to UK?

[morbius001]

@ukjim Actually, it's available... for non-USA folks at cdbaby.com/cd/cybertron

[keesvangelis]

very great sequence thanks for sharing

[faunflynn]

This is sublime . I'm permuting.. mutating...and... 3,2,1, modulate !

Great stuff !

[padperson]

Very tasty, when it becomes more layered at around 2:18 it becomes even more glorious.

[markusmala]

Did you took your pseudo from the morbius from the Forbidden planet of 1956? this SF movie got the first electronic effects from "bébé Baron" maybe ever recorded for a movie, before the coming of the moog... Your Chronoton Cascade is too short because i loved his waves coming in!

[Higsable]

I want this playstation :)

[electro257]

this is just tooo toooooooooo much .... wana listen to this on a water proof ipod for days at sea....

[martianmusic1]

TO me this would set a great scene to a scat vocal in a similar vein to The great Gig In the sky. Just imagine that soulful voice travelling across this sonic landscape. Brilliant.

[electro257]

cant beat analogue

[audiofringe]

is this 100% dot com. or are you using external effects like delay reverb? Sounds so good. One of the last baalllsy modern analog synths.

[3trackerz]

par excellence

[Morgmun]

I've been watching this over and over for weeks now, yet I've refrained from making a comment...... until now! It is one of the best things I've ever heard, my friend! Absolutely beautiful, cosmic! I make electronic music myself, but I wish I sounded as professional as this! The sequences are incredible! Seriously, one of the best things I've EVER heard. :)

[morbius001]

@Morgmun

Well thanx, my friend. Now- if you could turn me onto a 'paying gig' doing similar stuff, all would be well with the world... or- my world.

[batitombo]

I think I wet my pants

[morbius001]

@batitombo

Uhhh.... mine feel a bit moist too. how'd you do that? ; )

[nordrecordsuk]

it like it alot, its like going to space man

[neonelectro]

This has to be the most impressive modular I've ever seen.

[reup70]

Wonderful

[djdevelope1]

I would never sleep if I had something like that..

Nice!

[adrifromhh]

I dont sleep.

[adrifromhh]

but sadly just because I research things about analog synths buhuhuuuu

but i have an waldorf micro q and an akai s3000xl

[djdevelope1]

akai's are great.

[adrifromhh]

thats true. I love how robust they are built, real workhorses!

[duggabax]

Love the sound. But is it improv? I would actually say that it is not...very difficult to improvise when working with a repetitive set pattern. I mean yes, you can change all the sounds and switch sequences, but are you spontaneously generating new music?

Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of synthesisers and synthesiser music

[morbius001]

"Is it improv?".... Well, in so much as I have no idea what I'm going to do... or, do next, at the time of the recording... Yes... it is. Nothing is planned-out, with the only exception in some of these being, perhaps a fixed sequence-pattern. And, I'd think there'd be plenty who may disagree with your assessment- 'does a set pattern disqualify it from being called improvisational'.... (in fun, I would say) - "Said the astronaut, to the crop-duster". just kidding ; )

[cartesiaLive]

@duggabax I guess so, as it has traditionally been seen.. these days now music is more multi-dimensional - timbral changes as well as pitch are both commonplace.

so while the pitch follows a fixed pattern, the timbre is constantly altering - whereas say, a fixed-timbre piano might only have it's pitch altered or very subtle timbral differences... one is improvised pitch, one is improvised timbre.. I think they are both improvisation of sorts.

[skoulaman]

About 35 years ago I was amazed about this kind of sounds, it was the start of my synthesizer hobby. I played a lot of gear, analog, stringmachines, Fm-based, VA and so on but when I hear this, AWESOME

[skobliczek]

Ubelievable - simple music patterns and subtle colour changes making a narration of their own - Who said that sequencer is a boring inhuman machine?!!!

Applause!

[armyofmeisbliss]

drool~

[quadrician]

C'est impressionnant ce que l'on peut faire avec des son sinusoïdaux, carré et triangulaire !!

Le potentiel réel d'une composition avec un synthétiseur, c'est la création et le mélange de sons axiomatiques.

En tout cas, j'adore !

[metabog]

Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

[Rustifer33]

Hi Morbius, Great Clip ! I finally got my Q960 + Q962...but I can't figure out how to transpose (like you did) in real time. I presume you are using a standards module on the left ? I want to use a Voyager to do that...what input in the Q960 does that go into? Also, how do I use a midi clock to control the tempo of the Q960 osc ?? (Still waiting for your DVd tutorial ;-) Cheers N Y M O

[mikleta]

Dude.... how much did you pay for all this gear? I live in Argentina and of course... I can only dream about having things like this.

[douro20]

This is a $15,000 setup. A comparable Moog would probably be closer to $50,000.

[PompousFlea]

That's awesome.  Looks a bit complex to me. I'll stick to Virtual Analog synths, haha

[LMUMIT]

Very nice sequence, sounds a world away from DSP stuff :) Super!

[morbius001]

Without a doubt... the Q960 over the Q119.

[seagreen1960]

Which sequencer do you like better, the 960 or the 119?

Love your videos, great music!!!!!!

[LeonardRockstein]

love the modular synth...must have cost a bit. Nice sound sculpture too...quite ambient.

[Synthtrack]

Nothing wrong with the tunes and sound. I like it, awesome.

[cromlek]

cool modular

not so cool tunes

3/10

[allnash1958]

I really like this sound..

I follow electronic music since first K.schulze and wendy carlos. I love this sound but I think should be very nice to introduce some new sound variation, otherwise nothing change! More courage and impudence, please!

[ShatterPalm]

needs work. pretty reapetative.

[terrestial63]

Very good!!

[numic1z1]

so good....

[kneepop]

I usually improv all my electronic music. Very nice job.

[STINKOPOOP]

expert knob twiddlin. Nice vid m8

[davo171]

Love it!

[etb4u]

great work man, now that takes more skill then flipping over a few vinyls.

[natureboy769]

Wow... awesome. I was reading your bio and I think it is great that your were in it from the start. Any schooling or self taught? What is your opinion of the software synths out there? I know they're not as warm and you loose the tactile aspect however if money is limited do you think they're worth it?

[invalidbuffalo]

Very nice!

[sansandemans]

very tasteful ,

welldone !!

[guimbadriver]

good very good this machine is amazing...

[TemariKin]

Wunderbare Sequencer-Musik!!

[themisk]

Veeeery colourfull music...

[meagain2222]

nice electronic music.

would I love to get my hands on that synth.

[skodas]

love you to do some of the moog sounds used on encore by tangerine dream

[mattsynth]

Love it. Great work.

[elektrosurfer]

i am still waiting for my sequencer.

check out for " anyware inseqt " pretty good sequencer ;)

[electrofreak02]

DOPE MAN BLEW MY HEAD OFF

[donniemartin]

suuuuuuuuuuuperb all the best Donniem

[junorex]

SO COOOOL!!!

[juankliss]

this sounds 4D

[adamg7]

I really dig this piece, Any chance of uploading the rest in excerpts?

[derangedsniper]

This IS just an excerpt of the entire thing right?

[morbius001]

Yeah... there are file size limitations on YouTube.

[donniemartin]

suuuuuperb glory to the king thank you all the best Donniem

[derangedsniper]

Absolutely delectable. I can listen to this over and over. :) keep it up! This is so awesome.

[donniemartin]

suuuuuperb all hail the king thank you Morbius001

[adewolf]

Wonderful man. Thanks for great stuff again.

[yusynthman]

Really excellent !

[magsmagsmags]

for some reason i start thinking about the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and stuff like that when i hear this, it's truly amazing and I say it again, I'd love to get my hands on a cd.

keep it up morbius. :)

[morbius001]

Thank you guys... I 'DO' appreciate it. Have you checked-out my other videos?

[Babungus]

Analogue glory.

[rjb2008]

now thats how analogue sequencers should sound, great stuff.

[VingDragon]

awesome electronic meditation! i'm very picky in music taste and i really love your improvisations. my type is "chronoton cascade", "dreamstate", "tweaking inertia". I wonder how long time takes you a one session to create and record it. i understand that your post only a small fragments of bigger cake here :) please let us know.

[morbius001]

That's true. I'm looking at perhaps, in the not too distant future, having full, perhaps complete downloads available for purchase... of these, and newer live sessions... and perhaps, some sequencer and patching pointers, lessons... whatever.

[markgriz]

That would be awesome. How about adding some narration to your existing videos, explaining exactly what knobs you are tweaking so us noobs have an idea what you are doing. I supposes that would take away a bit of the "magic", but still would be nice to understand how different settings affect the sound.

Nicely done! Keep up the good work.

[morbius001]

Oh, I'd love to get into all sorts of things like that. Unfortunately, I used to work in TV, and video production, professionally, but currently have nothing but 'consumer-grade' equipment and programs. And doing such projects- the video (one-cam minimum (but would love 2-cams)) and, the mic'd narration, plus the synth's line audio, and then, the editing and syncing capabilities needed to pull it off, would be 'involved'. Of course, I could do voice-overs, and dub them in during post production.

[tie32101]

sounds very steve roach like

[SpringDivers]

Thanks for another fine installment. Wayne

PS: Order CD? You bet!

[scarymcclary]

WOOO! Awesome.
