I really appreciate you connecting with me and letting me know about your Swords to Ploughshares. Everyone reacts very deeply when I explain your story to them. I'm happy I can return some of your inspiration back to you.

Thank you - I'm really glad you enjoyed it! The aFrame is actually NOT a controller; it is its own sound source. The skin is the oscillator, which goes through internal sound modeling to create different sounds. That's why it's so sensitive, and changes character depending if you're dragging your fingernails across it, tapping it with a fingertip, striking it with your palm, etc. You can set up two different sounds for the edge and the center.

@@AliasZone Double WOW !!!!!!!

Thank _you_ for watching & listening! I do indeed do this to share; i'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! To fill in one question/mystery, the choir-like sounds are the software version of the Korg Wavestation. And yes, the system was designed to give me maximum control in something that would fit inside my wingspan while performing, and carry-on luggage plus one checked bag while traveling.

Hi - I'm using it for 3 main tasks: 1) To play notes on virtual synths. This includes loading notes into the arpeggiator that sits in front of the Wavestation virtual instrument, and playing the occasional pad and slow-motion lead. Key to getting me comfortable doing that was tweaking out its sensitivity so I wasn't killing my fingers by striking or pressing too hard, and switching to the Scale mode where each horizontal row contains an octave of the valid notes in the chosen scale (I find that easier to adapt to from piano, than to learn guitar fretboard-like layouts). 2) Launch rhythm loops, long samples, and ambiences. Loop clips are Live's forte, and harder to do in Eurorack as so few modules sync sample playback to an external clock (props to 1010 and the Disting). The atmospheric vocals are long non-looping clips I launch in Session mode, quantized by Live to start on the downbeat (so I can cue them up ahead of time). I also have been using the sample player plugins to launch ambiences I want to loop and therefore play for an indefinite period of time (like the water) - a latching foot switch (a Boss FS-5L) allows me to "keep the note held down" while I switch to other tracks. 3) Tweak some plugin parameters, such as arpeggiator settings (including latch on/off) and the new Channel EQ effect that shows the harmonic spectra of the sound playing with the EQ curve overlaid on top - great visual confirmation for finding harmonics to emphasize or suppress.

And he has an amazing (and free) motion graphics designer too!

Thank you! And as for vinyl, tell Bluetech & Behind the Sky - I'd be happy to work with them.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I compensated a bit by involving more polysynths. Another change was adding in the percussion from the smaller case, which is not in the big case.

@@AliasZone indeed, the percussion that you employ as a Synthesist is incredibly fitting for each song !!!!!, whether minimal, as in this song, or with more elements, as in 4oclock..... pretty amazing regardless of the rig !!!!!!! You have songs where the synth voices provide the feeling of time division, without the need for traditional percussion voices.... an often overlooked technique !

@@AliasZone oh I need to mention this to you, though I know you don’t go around tooting your own horn.... Your music NEEDS to be showcased on a Science oriented YT channel, COOL WORLDS..... Prof David Kipling is the content provider. So besides trying to get Sonicstate or Gaz Williams on the live-streams, I want to introduce your music to Cool Worlds, for their science videos.... I hope you don’t mind me “spreading the word” about your Art and your Educational Website..... ruclips.net/user/CoolWorldsLab My request to have them audition your channels is in the pinned comment by Cool Worlds.

@@paultorbert6929 I don't mind at all - I love to share, and am happy to share through different outlets. Thank you for "championing" me!

Feel free to ask any questions here - plus I break down all of my tracks in great detail on my Patreon channel (patreon.com/learningmodular - 5v level or above).

Yes. I started color-coding them for my training videos, and have carried over the practice for my own patches. The color coding chart is part way down this article: learningmodular.com/choosing-patch-cables/

I do indeed use a color-coded scheme: yellow for audio, white for pitch CV, blue for modulation CV, red for triggers & gates, green for clocks.

This performance, Ash Tree Window, and Dream Catcher were the starting points for a new album I released a couple of weeks ago. It's Name Your Own Price (i.e. free) if you're curious to check it out: aliaszone.bandcamp.com/album/we-only-came-to-dream

@@AliasZone nice! Just purchased a copy. What a nice way to shepherd in the weekend 👍🏼

@@DoctorCalabria thank you so much - I really appreciate it! I hope you enjoy it.
