Dave Smith MOPHO MINIMAL ACID

[AASTRANGE]

I had that Novation controller couldn't it to work with my system for shit, pretty cool by the way.

[a303romance]

i really wish people who think that techno artists just press a 'play' button to perform would watch this clip.

[Intosia]

Not really minimal...

[bassbird]

@Intosia perhaps, but its still minimalism

[drum4life42]

Stop being haters, as long as this guy is having fun making music that he enjoys. Everyone has their genre and everyone hates at least one genre.

[layzer80]

you can achieve this with MINIMAL freeware VST synths. don't you feel dumb now?

[cartesiaLive]

@layzer80 congrats, you completely missed the point of using gear like this. Have fun living in your oversimplified and closed-minded version of reality

[salvadory]

@layzer80 who cares???? - VST synths sound like crap and nothing beats a bunch or steel wood and metal boxes to make music- with real hands and the mind lost in music! Add all analog and you cant even compare VST synth garbage

[proreynolds]

That is this is anyone and burden??

[simdrullman]

don't care about discussion around the genre of the song.

i just like your pants.

[BigBaggaBlues]

this guy has a similar taste in gear to me, ive got an electribe emx, a mini KP (which is shite btw dont get it), ive got an slk mkii zero (the newer version of his) and im gettin a dave smith tetra when i can afford it

[vampiremonkiesgohome]

which E-tribe is that (blue one)?

Also how are you controlling the mopho?

[BigBaggaBlues]

@vampiremonkiesgohome its an electribe emx-1

[keyfish]

Do you use the mini-KP off to the side? . . .

[Telekon5]

That was great. Nice toys and some good ol farty acid techno and I mean that in a good way...lol.

[warbatron2]

That's a cosy little setup, really nice and hands on... love the sherman.

[inbetweenmovements]

@warbatron2 thanx!

[KaslarProductions]

Sherman filter bank rocks my socks

[mz2250]

what is the thing that you use near the monitor at the left of the elektribe...??????!

[inbetweenmovements]

midi controller - Novation ReMOTE ZERO SL

[junglehead99]

Nice sherman...i'm jealous.

Nice work on the track too.

[inbetweenmovements]

thanks!

i  have the same mouse

[djyourgofromlelystad]

nice set-up!!

[HELLSPAWN1973]

lol - got the same mouse here :)

[fraojfljtlnbsd]

I am thinking of getting a mopho but it all rests on wether you can plug anything into it. Say, if its just a jack input could you plug a guitar into it? Or a Instrument Mic? Or is it just a midi input. Also, I really enjoyed the video aswell. Really nice sounds. If I was making music of this genre these are the sort of sounds I would be looking for.

Thanks,

memotone

[bananaxtree]

Mopho has a 1/4" jack for input a MIDI in and out, audio out l+r

You can plug things in, but I have had little luck directing inputting a vocal mic in.

[DJDrDerek]

sounds old skool, nice work.

[badmandem1]

I think maybe the drums could do with a wee bit more swing, its a little bit static, other than that bobsies.

[Vincefromsin]

pffff....

[curzen]

nice

[nataraj18774]

Bravo

[fvallejo2]

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS!?!?!?!?! one big loop that goes nowhere!!! way too many toys there for this crap

[2manythrills]

Really wish people would stop adding MINIMAL to every genre that ever existed.

[SuicidleLemming]

lol i hear yea how about these fine examples minimal hip hop,minimal christian rock,minimal minimal techno lol

[digitalmonkeynuts]

Lets just add MAXIMAL to every genre, MAXIMAL TECHNO etc lol :)

[KaslarProductions]

@2manythrills

How about some minimal metal..... or minimal super mega death house......

I agree with you.... XD

[cartesiaLive]

@2manythrills amen.. It's near impossible to find actual minimal on youtube

[inbetweenmovements]

@cartesiaLive it semms to me nearly impossible to have a common definition what minimal art/music is on yt. How would you define it? Which artists would you mention?

[cartesiaLive]

@inbetweenmovements

You're right it is difficult to define minimal.. Many diff sounds.

(IMO) one of the common elements of minimal music, is there is alot of space between sounds.. I think of it like this:

Not minimal - imagine it's a room full of things going on - people, furniture, etc.

Minimal - imagine its an empty room but you see light shining through the window, dust floating in the light.. there's a crack on one wall.. normally not noticed, but in an empty room they become interesting.

[cartesiaLive]

@cartesiaLive

Sorry had to split the message...

So I think of this song as a room.. it only has one thing in it (the acid-ish line), but to me it's a big thing like an alien or a blob of jelly on a table or something.. not a small seemingly insignificant thing..

Maybe I'm just insane o_0

[inbetweenmovements]

@cartesiaLive If you look at my newer videos you also can find some polyrhythmn in it... Though I like your description of the alien blob of jelly - which also would be a nice title!

[inbetweenmovements]

@cartesiaLive thanx for your interesting definition of minimal! I think minimal has also a lot to do with polyrhythmn (in this improvisation I don't use polyrhytm) When I started with music I was impressed by Steve Reich and then I heared/saw a very interesting concert by La Monte Young in Vienna. Later I studied electronic music - I like when melodylines repeat and the sounds are modulated. For me this is also minimal.

[DeRex9]

@inbetweenmovements I feel the same way, well done mate, thank you

[cgouais]

@2manythrills well maybe because you dont know what MINIMAL is!!!!

Its not a progressive song and it just using a minimal instrument!!!

You understand now?????

[lambd01d]

@2manythrills A real minimalist would subtract not add.

[sergentbelleck]

@2manythrills

minimal thumbs up

[wujekbeatz]

@2manythrills why?

[str3123]

@2manythrills amen!

[reconstructiv]

@2manythrills i think i will make minimal breakcore... lmao. can that even exist?

[bobdlx]

noice!!

[Dubreak]

Bit hard to tell what the mopho is doing coz when you turn down the MX at the end the 303'esque sound stops.... but still, nice tune. Is the mopho doing the acid-line..?

[jokkejens]

Great sound. Whats the mixer thing in the middle doing?

[Triames]

It's a midi controller. I guess he uses it to control the Mopho.

[dr3tri]

Analog filter

[PHAEDRIDER]

analog everything when it comes to the mopho

[meltingpenguin]

The sherman is massive

[Hyper5nic]

Acieeeed. - ;-) Brings brack memories of way back end of 1980's - beginning 1990's music.

[Groovebaron]

I want it all ,......!!!!

[KyleLiggett]

this is boring.....

[djclubberlang]

you are boring ass-wipe!!! dont judge creativity.. what u done for me lately..??? (",)

[ElHypno2007]

It's a little minimalist but still a cool acid set up.

[Ureallydontknow]

if acid heads are happy then your opinion doesnt sway them much. its its own subculture and your obviously not part of it.

[hsifylleg]

Nice hard sounds there :-)
