MODULAR PERFORMANCE: Eurorack x Buchla System 

0:58 “I want to keep it simple”. Tom saying that with that wall of gear behind him made me LOL

Legend has it that Tom only sleeps for one hour every 4 days

I had the impression that Buchla was going to jump out of my monitors and eat me alive, what an amazing sound!

This series is next level, what a treat. nice one! thanks for sharing

Nice demonstration! I really love how each person can get totally unique things out of modular!

Thank you Tom! 😊 Getting to hear what all this can let you make, helps with the absorption of all this information. ❤

This is really amazing! Sounds excellent.

Brilliant video! More more more please!

Suuupercool presentation Tom, thanks!

Love it!!

Great performance man, love it 🔥👍🙏🏻🙌🏻

Amazing!

Damn, what a treat. Thanks so much for these amazing soundscapes.

Wow! Inspirational and meserizing, very inventive!

Sounds so cool 👌

Sounds awesome

Looks like are having a ton of fun there 😃

😮 Amazing stuff!! Thanx for sharing!

Love it! Thanks ✌🏼

That was a really impressive demonstration!

A master at work!

First modular performance I felt a connection and experience from. well done!

That was a trip to listen too!!! WOW!!! 🤯😲🤩😍😎

We see these in the early years of YMO's live performance. Love the sound.

reminds me a bit of random xs / fading away. cool that you are back and thx for doing this. highly apreciate, that you are using a mic now.

Sounds insane 🔥🔥🔥

very cool piece Tom! 🙌

OMG! One simple Sine wave, incredible!! 🤪

Wow man, that is the most interesting I have heard in yrs. You inspired me to run to my synths, oh oh where'd the time go.

Grand Maestro, stellar performance ✨🎛✨ P.S.: I agree, Alessandro Cortini is great!

super cool

I'm a huge fan of autopan, so I absolutely loved this!

Awesome

Fantastisch,.. Omhoog en Omhoog.

Yeah, crazy exciting system. It’s interesting to see how to see how you’re thinking / approaching it. I’m trying to plot my own path into modular.. and this content is really helpful.. in some mysterious way that I don’t quite understand. Maybe it just helps to reinforce some big picture idea of where I want to go.. to see you actualizing something similar?

Woah! Here we go!

a couple of low and high string Ostinato`s and some low brass you got the new Mad Max theme :D Brilliant demo Tom

I've had the rare opportunity to learn and use a Buchla in college (*ahem* - way back) and it is a mighty instrument. Thank you for sharing - this brings back memories (and, um, maybe I'll have to get my own now ;-)

Yes! More Buchla!

I now keep a JBL Bluetooth speaker in my work truck since you started uploading videos again 😊

So cool! Thanks for sharing. I was just thinking it'd be great to add some tape delay or something too like an old Marantz or reel to reel possibly. Cheers from Seattle.

Tom ❤

Sounds amazing! Never get rid of this rig. Do not sell it.

I see you plunked down on “The Buchla Starter Kit” 😂

spaced lekker! Groeten uit Nijmegen :)

Very nice. Also worth mentioning Suzanne Ciani of course, who has been using Buchla modular from 70s and still is.

🔥🔥🔥

No stop!!!!!! MORE!!!! MOOOOOOREEEEEE!!!!

Id love too see Tom's electric bill😂 Brilliant video as always

OMG, this is such a greatest Eurorack performance! Thank you for sharing this! The great thing is that this can be also used as an underscore. Please please do patch breakdown. I eager to know how you make those various sounds from one oscillator.

Wow, SO cool! Nobody would complain if you went even longer next time ;)

I love how quickly this escalated from “one oscillator” to “future Mad Max score”

great real-time chase scene music for action or sci-fi on the Buchla 🙂

Insane stereo field and depth. What was the reverb used ?

Jemig man… speel dat live in en club en ik trip met een colaatje ❤

❤❤

Damn 🤯 Any post processing on this?

Fantastic! Please check the French Buchla Master Lionel Bauchet (starts12 years ago) for instance the video: Introductory March to the Secret Society

💙

Thanx Tom for sharing your experience with the Buchla system🙏! it sounds so fantastic🖤! A little tip for a nice artist who creating amazing music with Buchla too, she‘s calls Tamix, here on youtube. Maybe you’ll find time to watch her videos;-) Greetings 🖖👽

That was a very cinematic vibe you had going. Have you ever thought of doing film soundtracks?

1 oscillator, impressive and high quality sounds.

You moved to Amsterdam and already making Hypnotic Techno

So I put out the fancy headphones for this and now Im not sure how I could listen to this in the best quality possible. If I so 4k the audio gets better as well or just the visuals?

❤☕️🙌

This sounds amazing however, how do one get to record these sequences into a DAW?

XL any sound pack in the future to DL ?

😲😲😲😲🤯

Boat 3 has gone fishing

Get with Scott Manley and do a DJ Session with the Euro.....

how about: putting together a crazy live sequencing custom rack, and do an hour long improv using all of *both* systems, totally dawless, for next 'jamuary', hmm? what do you say? id love to hear a live set that uses all the oscillators, (maybe robthebloke inspired)? i love that you can use these instruments to layer samples, but i want to see you control both of them live, dawless, tbh. cheers. peace. namaste. ☮

I love this stuff but know almost nothing about it. How does this fit in to the creation of a soundtrack/score, etc? The performance part doesn't seem very repeatable.

A question on sound design, for Rebel Moon Part 1 there's a moment where someone points a huge rifle at Kora's face, and the music and audio goes quiet and you just hear this scary evil sound. Did you do that Tom? Where does doing the music and doing the audio end?

Can really hear that spectral processor

How do you even plan to build such a complex system?

!!! Can we get Dropbox wave files of these sessions? That would be great. Maybe a donation to charity for them? Sounds great.

JXL cosmic modular space ambient album when?

Hi Junkie! Will you upload the songs from the new Godzilla x Kong movie?

Really like noisy final part texture after 8:00 mark

You're probably not going to reach for this if you have to score a movie in a month. I used to own a few of Hans Zimmers' Buchla modules and apparently he let them go because they weren't immediate enough. Which is true. You have to spend time with them and get to learn them.

Thanks Tom for the performance. Some of this would be killer in Deadpool ;)

if you put this at 1.5x is another experience too

I estimate that maybe 90% of the sound's atmosphere stems from the 2 'simple' effects you use. It would be interesting to hear what all that equipment is up to without those 2 sound effects.

How would several detuned saw osc sound thru this patch with shorter attack times... Nice setup for inspiration but I would prefer an fm approach to a get similar sound, teher are many road to the same destination. 😅

I watched a guy do this back in the late seventies... only difference is... He wore a lab coat.

I wonder if I’m allowed to type the number on the shirt in the comments lol

The question is, is it worth 25k when many VSTi can create these kind of sounds?

you could buy a house with the price of that thing

🥱my car makes those sounds.

"Passable", for what looks to be about $40,000 worth of Buchla gear....at least...

такая дороговизна ради просто шумовой ритмической экспериментальщины:)

Chuck Norris is only afraid of one thing, Tom in a studio

….oh…..another…Buchla…video….how…..exciting……

ADHD nightmare...lol.

My ears are bleeding

What a waste of money.

Awesome
