This is the most important secret in improvised music
Hello everybody and welcome!
This is the second episode of "What Is Improvisation?", my series dedicated to improvisation in music. In “Just Listen” I focus on the fundamental role of listening in free improvised music both for the audience and the musicians. I summarize the basic building blocks of non idiomatic improvisation and suggest some exercises to train your ears to recognize them, even if you are not familiar with this approach to music making. I hope you’ll enjoy it!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined me in this journey and helped me with this project

Can you control no input mixers via CV?!
Просмотров 3,2 тыс.Год назад
Hello everybody and welcome! This video is a bit different from the previous ones because it's not a tutorial. I tried to use cv signals to control the feedback into a no input mixer. Then I created a small "ensemble" of three no input mixers that interacts with three different sequencers sending them cv signals and running all together to create an improvised track. I hope you'll enjoy it! War...

If you told me this was made on a 10000+$ modular rig i would believe it
If you accept and embrace the inehernt limitations of no input techniques (unpredictability, instability, etc) you can definetely do a lot of stuff with them 😊
Great video man

@@BukoczeRecords Thanks!
As an italian synth lover I say Thank You!!!
@@littlebritain64 You're welcome! Happy to share great stuff with you!
@@AndreijRublev Vedo che nel video parli italiano. Allora mi "sfogo" nella mia lingua!😄 Da tenere in considerazione anche la ricerca fatta non rammento se da Farfisa o da General Music sul chip proprietario o sistema DRAKE. Poi sarebbe interessante ripercorrere il lavoro fatto dalla sezione di ricerca sonora della facoltà universitaria di Pisa, il C.N.U.C.E. , che collaborava con il centro di musica fiorentino Tempo Reale. Conosco uno degli ultimi ingegneri che entrò giovane a fine anni '60 al C.N.U.C.E. ed abita poco fuori Pisa. Non troppo vicino a casa mia ma mi piacerebbe intervistarlo....
@@littlebritain64 sarebbe bellissimo riuscissi a raccogliere quell'intervista (nei limiti del possibile, ovviamente)! Preservare la memoria di quel mondo, del tempo e delle persone che ne hanno fatto parte è una cosa molto importante secondo me e molto poco praticata purtroppo. È soprattutto uno spaccato interessantissimo sull'industria, sulla ricerca e di storia del lavoro e sociale dell'italia del dopoguerra. Sicuramente una situazione che meriterebbe più attenzione, un bel lavoro di conservazione e di divulgazione.
I think you could pull a tractor with those cables...wait...traktor? I almost pulled the rip cord on this one until I heard the host give a semi evil genius chuckle around 7:08. Now, I'm hooked.
Excelent video! I would like to know how is the setup in this case? Is always necessary the mono splitters, or it works without them?
Thanks! In this case you have two indipendent channels, so you need at least one mono splitter to duplicate an output and patch it back into its own input. Then you send the other splitted signal to the second channel input and from the second channel output to the audio interface/mixer/whatever. You can add more complexity with another splitter, but it is not necessary. One is required anyway.
merzbow been quiet since this dropped
@@Qwerttyuiop1 merzbow and quiet are two words that sound weird close to each other hahaha
Did someone chop this into a sample pack yet?
Not yet, but feel free to do it!
Oki this supaah COOL!!
@@lofimat3856 Thanks! Happy you like it!
Doesnt this brake the Unit for ormal Use after while? Very creative here!
It's rather difficult. In general these audio circuits are designed to handle a hot/saturated signal. Unless the unit is old and with some issues it shouldn't be a problem.
@@AndreijRublev Do yu use it also for EQin or just als FeedBack Maschine?
@@lofimat3856 I use it only as a feedback machine, but it works well also as a standard EQ.
@@AndreijRublev Than yu much for Answering me!!
@@lofimat3856 you're welcome! Always happy to help!
Do you use TS or TRS patch cables?
@@AntonyNorthcutt Unbalanced ones, so TS.
@@AndreijRublev I'm a new disciple of your work so any recommendations on ones to buy? I love your work!!
@@AntonyNorthcutt First of all I'm glad you like it! Thanks! My suggestion is to check for second hand or partially broken mixers (of any kind, any model, size, etc) so you can start experimenting with routing and feedback, you can play with the unusual interface and explore how it reacts. No real rule, just have fun. Just be careful with the volume. As I say in the video I reccomend using something to control the volume between your no input setup and your speakers or earphones/headphones (an audio interface, another mixer, or whatever device allows you to control the output volume of your setup). If you have any specific question feel free to write me here, more than happy to help you!
@@AndreijRublev I just bought a MX1604A and currently looking at the Vermona Filter Lancet - going all in!!
@@AntonyNorthcutt Great choice! Filters are one of my favourite effects to combine with no input mixers, especially if they have some sort of envelope follower, so they can interact actively with the feedback.
Man just amazing
@@luistavares6670 Thanks!
I'm not much into modular synths but have some CV sources, and I'm wondering how much electricity (voltage, current and whatnot) is CV compared to the audio signal that is going through mixer? Very inspirational stuff!
From what I understood about this topic in the previous months (speaking with people with more knowledge than me and reading comments around the internet): it is a difference between AC current and DC current. Audio signal is AC and CV is DC. Mixers are of course built to handle audio signals, so when you put a CV signal into a mixer circuit it just interfere with the audio feedback, (if the CV signal is strong it cuts out the audio one, if it is weak it just change it a little bit) then the circuit goes back to its normal state and goes back to the audio feedback.
@@AndreijRublev Oh that makes sense!
Brilliant stuff!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
How have i not found this channel earlier? My crazy heart loves everything about these sounds!
Happy you like these sounds and found this channel!
You're really cool Andreij!
You are too kind! Just a normal guy here who like to make some noise eheh.
Just seen this, looks like someone's figured out using CV for rhythm control at least - ruclips.net/video/SbPS8vayXfo/видео.htmlsi=MkKtxZeBdCjjarSh
Thank you for these great tutorials, your videos are very informative and surprising. A quick question: I understand that you plug your drumbrute into the loop of your no input mixer and that you use the pedals to modulate all that. However I was wondering how you connect your pedals. Using the effect send -> pedal chain -> input channel? Directly on the output channel of the microphone or the drummachine? And what do you think about using another effect send to use these (and therefore return send) to measure the impact of the effects pedal chain?
Thanks for your kind words! In this video I used the effects pedal between the no input setup and the audio interface (the path is roughly: main out of the mixer > effect pedals > audio interface), so they don't interact with the feedback' signal chain. However you can totally put them in the signal chain of the feedback, as you wrote in your example (whatever mixer output > effects > channel input) or even between your instrument and the mixer (drumbrute > effects > channel input). The possibilities are a lot in terms of patching. Experimenting with different type of routing is always fun and can lead to unexpected and interesting results!
You can also consider that in a mixer there are a lot of inputs that you can use both to make external sound sources interact with the feedback chain or to patch the mixer signal back into itself, and outputs (in many units they are even more than the inputs) and every output can be used to send the signal back into the mixer to create more complex interactions. That's basically and endless playground and for me it is always a lot of fun exploring it.
@@AndreijRublev Thank you for your explanations, it’s perfectly clear! Indeed, there is a lot to experiment with, I already know that I will spend hours and hours there... Thanks to you ;)
This was very inspiring Andreij, thank you so much!
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
Woah, you recreated VL with nothing but your mixer!
I don't actually know what VL stands for but thank you!
@@AndreijRublevIt's Yamaha's way of branding... I don't know either, but it does have other names: "Virtual Acoustic synthesis" and "digital waveguide synthesis". And holy 13:42 that one sounds almost the same as DinoPerc!
@@lightascend2524 Oh got it! Didn't know that name, thanks!
9:28 need this live with a drummer now
Actually: entering the studio pretty soon with a drummer too ;-)
Love your passion dude, hope to hear it soon!!!
@@KeaneFreeman thank you so much! I Really appreciate!
Very cool!
Thanks!
super interesting.
Thanks! Happy you like it!
Lovely sounding patch 🎉
Thanks!
can you explain how all your pedals are linked together? hard to try to map them out through the footage
In this video I used two pedals in the feedback chain (the routing is: mixer > phaser > delay > back into the mixer) and two pedals after the feedback chain (mixer > filter > reverb > audio interface).
I don't exactly remember the signal flow in the example with pedals only, but I assume it was something like: reverb > distortion > phaser > delay > distortion > filter > audio interface. Not completely sure anyway.
who are the mixer modules made by? im trying it using the default VCV mixers but after emulating your wiring im only getting coloured / filtered noise and the occasional pop or crackle.
The mixer modules are the default ones that come with vcv rack. I used the 2.0 version. Don't know if with later versions they replaced them. Anyway you can find a ton of mixer modules on vcv rack website and download them for free, if you can't find the one that I used in the video.
Really enjoying your channel. I recently sold a no brand 8 ch mixer that I paid to much money for and was sour on, and because I didn't know what to do with it.I thought it was just taking up space. But after watching StMag and youI bought another, bigger, and heavier 16 ch mixer for the same price that I sold the other (apparently two channels are a bit "noisy.") 🙄 It has main stereo out, 3x AUX 1pre, 2 post fader), headphone out, monitor out, AND a TRS "Insert" jack for each channel. These send, and receive... Have you ever fooled around with the Insert jacks? If so how do you use them for No Input mixing?
Happy you found some inspiration in our videos! Insert channels can be super useful to add effects in the feedback chain (delays, filters, eqs, etc)!
@@AndreijRublev Interesting. Thanks for the "feedback" 🤣 Anyway, Insert cables are split right? Tip-send, Sleeve-receive... so are Insert cables different to stereo-twin mono cables? If so, how would you use the cables in cross-channel patches? Do you have a video on any of this?
This is awesome! That is some amazing synth tones you're getting out of that thing plus the versatility is pretty impressive. Totally usable in all sorts of ways. Im In the brainstorming stage of building a set of stand alone bass pedals like the moog Taurus. If I could use something like this for the core oscillator then run it thru some dividers to produce the 12 different pitches it might just be crazy enough to work 😜
Another great instalment Andreij, John Zorn always fascinated me how he used to conduct his ensembles to create different moods during a piece. Looking forward to the next one ✌️
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it! Yes, John Zorn is a great example for impro orchestras.
Hey I like that one Tarkovsky movie about you!
Hahaha I like that too! One of my favourite directors and movie!
@@AndreijRublev No but seriously is this a common name in Russia?
@@tbsq1114 I don't really know. In my case it is an art name (and of course a reference to the painter and the movie)! I'm from Italy actually.
@@AndreijRublev Oh I thought this was your real name! I know a tennis player with this name also.
Aaaaaand... you can apply the same concept on your hardware modular synth (for instance I have 3 Doepfer A-138n 4HP 4 channel mixers - which can also be used to make a matrix mixer, at the occurrence!). And a regular A-138b audio mixer before the output module.
yep, absolutely. Feedback based sound generation is such a basic principle that you can apply it in many different fields and ways. Such a fascinating and creative thing!
Now imagine having a mixer which also features effects... Say a delay (and/or a reverb). Nowadays you can get this kind of mixers for cheap (even a 12 mono / 6 stereo channels one). Imagine if you buy a used one. A world of fun for nearly no cost...
Totally! Adding some effects in the feedback chain is always fun and can lead to even more unexpected results!
@@AndreijRublev also because they propagate and multiply indefinetly.
Thank you for the inspiration!
Happy it was useful!
'Promosm' 🤣
Isso é incrível! Obrigado por essa aula. Abraço do Brasil! 🇧🇷
Thank you! Happy you like it! Greetings from Italy!
Might be a dumb question but isn't there any risk for sepakers running a clipped signal trough them?
No question is dumb! The answer is yes, totally. That's the reason why I suggest to use something (an audio interface, another mixer or even a guitar pedal with a volume control) in between the no input mixer and your speakers (or headphones) so you can set the max volume with that added level of gain staging. In this way you can avoid any damage to your speakers, hearphones and ears.
Can this damage the mixer? It seems some of my channels are not working anymore. I have a Mackie Pro FX.*UPDATE: I suspect the connection port is damaged somehow. The contact points are not all touching the 1/4 jack poles. When I insert the jack fully, there is not sound. It only works if I pull it out slightly but sounds low.
If you work with line level signal is nearly impossible to damage the mixer. Are you using xlr or jacks? Be sure to turn the phantom off if you use xlr cables.
Where is the 10 likes button? This is super interesting 🤯 I'm going to spend the entire afternoon and several days learning this technique 😁
Thank you so much! Super happy it was useful and inspiring! Have fun with it ;)
Wonderful video. I've been into free improvisation for a long time (even performing a bit myself in the past) but I still learned some new things from this. And I loved all the performance excerpts. Free improv can absolutely be magic. This deserves many more views. I've experienced playing both sides of free improv performance: I've had absolutely amazing experiences that I was really proud of, and some that I felt a bit disappointed by my performance in. But either way, it definitely felt very alive, like it was its own beast.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you took the time to watch it and happy that your discovered something new! Yes, free impro sometime is real something magic, that's why we love it ;)
Control voltage is input too! Don't be a signalist!
hahaha you got me! I'm not a purist at all ;-)
@@AndreijRublev 😜
Dear Andreij, very thanks! And what about digital mixers? How would it works? Could we repeat the same procedures? Is there any risk to equipments? I´m loving all here...
9:24 just wow!!!
Thanks!
Great
Thank you!
I wonder how many people have asked: "Can I do this with my DAW"?
Yes you can. Usually DAWs try to avoid that but there are some workarounds, depending on the DAW you use. Otherwise you can try to do it with another software like VCV rack. If you are curious I have a tutorial on how to emulate the behaviour of an hardware mixer in a digital environment. You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/gCTCeowpgLw/видео.htmlsi=JPTY5FSywpVtYbR-
Very cool! That EQ is quite a versatile instrument. You can go from goofy whimsical noises to eerie ambient sounds to techno but the ambient sounds are the best.
Totally agree! It can be super precise and at the same time create unexpected stuff.
Honest question that I hope you could shed light on. I hope this question isn't too silly or maive but; how do you find live improvisation events? Are they typically set up, advertised, and promoted like traditional concerts? Or are they more like workshops or classes? Where do these improvisations happen? Universities? Basements? Or Bars? I'd love to get involved with live music improvisation but don't know where to look. Any advice would help!
Symphonies can come from Improvisation, free thinking and music with a cadence similar to conversation. Music also has healing properties.
Totally
