Just a little early morning jam. One of those occasions where nice unexpected things fall into place! If I hadn't needed to be somewhere else, I would have carried on for a bit longer....
Yes! Thanks for maintaining the discipline and putting out these sessions. 🎶♥️🎶 These all start out with,'whats gonna happen?' and they all end with ...'hollee....that did'
@@ARPolimeni the only problem is that to do that, I have to sign away all of my copyright to my recordings. It would also mean I have no longer have any control over my RUclips channel - so there would be ads all over it - and the money would go to the distributor, before it came to me (less their commission - which is not insignificant!!) For example, I currently make about $1 to $2 per 1000 views on YT. Spotify pays $0.03 per 1000 plays. There’s a reason Taylor Swift re-recorded all of her early albums - now you have an idea why ;)
Rob you have quickly become my absolute favorite modular synth artist... thank you! When you lit that up at 14:44 omg man... Just love it all. A real banger man.
Beyond the technical aspects, the manipulations, etc., it's the feeling above all that's great... Basically, I'm particularly fond of serial, repetitive music, like Steve Reich, Philip Glass... and even Hania Rani more recently, and I find that your work is very much in this vein... Please keep exploring... what you're doing is amazing... I'am G-Roob
FIrst few minutes: hmmm not sure what this bloke Rob is going to do, but let's be patient. Last few minutes: holy sh*t this is awesome and Rob's smile tells me he will do this again. Superb!
Sometimes I play it in denim and a sweatshirt at live gigs, but they don’t happen as often as I’d like :) Sadly my rig isn’t set up for long distance travel yet, so it’s the spare room or nowt at the moment ;)
@@AndreasBrenk soma Illuminator looks like a better option, although that’s fairly low on my priority list to be honest. I’m a bit sceptical of the doepfer module to be honest. Ignoring the fairly high power draw for a moment, it looks like the kinda module that could introduce noise into your audio path if not careful… A mate of mine who does a lot of the festival lighting around here, simply bought a load of cheap Bluetooth enabled LED strip controllers from china. He then collected a load of knackered old smartphones, and just drives the led controllers from the phones microphone. Wouldn’t work that well for me to be honest, but works surprisingly well on a stage. A new case is my first priority though (something I can use to safely transport my rig on a plane is the main aim, and a few extra HP would be handy!). Then hopefully a decent performance mixer, a few boring utility modules I’m lacking, then maybe the soma…. Maybe!
@robthebloke that's wild to have stage lighting driven by smartphones, what a genius. It now makes me wonder about a show I went to now. I went to EOTO and they had LEDs spiraling up about 4 support pillars. I wonder if they used phones for those.

Hey love your stuff! So happy I stumbled across your channel. Do you have a gear list of what equipment you are using posted anywhere? I'd love to learn more about your set up.
Yup: www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2422962 A word of caution though: this is the gear I have, but it’s not an ideal setup! It evolved into this state. There are many flaws in the design ;)
@@robthebloke thanks! I've been curious what you are using ever since I found your videos. Trying to build out a set up of my own, so I appreciate you sharing your vids and the gear list. If you ever play in the NY, USA area I'd love to see you play!
Any chance you'd start a Spotify account anytime soon? I'd love that! Edit: feel like I also have to adress how amazing this is, I listen to you while studying and it's a dream :)).
Spotify doesn’t really make any financial sense for a musician. You sign away all your copyright to a distributor, who then takes full ownership of your YT videos. At the moment I only have ads at the start and end of my tracks. If I sign up to Spotify, there will be ads every couple of minutes (because I’m no longer the copyright owner, and the distributor is aiming to maximise their profits). My YT income would no longer be paid to me, it will go via the distributor, who’ll take their cut, and pass the rest on to me. YT pays between $1 and $2 per 1k views. Spotify pays $0.03 per 1k plays. I don’t earn that much from YT, however if I sign up to Spotify, I’d earn even less.
@@robtheblokeoh, I didn't know Spotify was that bad, from a listener point of view it's just nice to be able to download the music and listen to it offline or when your schreen is off. But now I know, I absolutely understand why you wouldn't want to start one. I'll keep listening either way :). Cheers!
A couple of cunning tricks ;) I’ve got a video describing how I set up the sequencing here: ruclips.net/video/e_Ahss74v_A/видео.htmlsi=fvpsA8e9ygLisDex Basically the whole rig can be transposed via the quantus pax. This has mainly been sequenced from the GC, however I’m running an arp from the sinfonion. Directly transposing a sequence via quantus doesn’t keep anything to the original scale, but transposing the sinfonion does. The two approaches fighting each other can give some lovely results (although to be fair, often rubbish results!)
Your stuff is amazing! Thanks for posting it! What’s the sequencer at the bottom of the frame please? White, rectangular, 8x8 button matrix? Thank you!!
Tiptop circadian rhythms - easily the best trigger/gate sequencer out there imho - full rig is here if you’re interested: www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2422962
@@drinsmith nah, my gear is the culmination of many wrong decisions (and a few good ones). It is however what I have, and at this point I know it well enough to work around it’s flaws ;) Tiptop circadian rhythms is one of those modules that was a very good idea :) It’s bonkers, and takes a while to understand, but it is amazing!
Thanks! These videos are how I document the setup. I know my rig fairly well at this point, so I don’t need many prompts to understand what I was doing to be honest. Nah, not working on any recordings - slowly working on taking my rig out of Tasmania first!

As an artist too, I'll say the morning is the best time to just mess around with new ideas without much of an outcome in mind. Good stuff...
Yes! Thanks for maintaining the discipline and putting out these sessions. 🎶♥️🎶
These all start out with,'whats gonna happen?' and they all end with ...'hollee....that did'
Your work is awesome Rob, I listen to it while running, while working, absolutely love it. Keep it up, cheers from NL
Thanks very much! Hope you enjoyed your run! :)
Lol right? This is the music I never knew I needed for focus!
I’d buy tickets to see you live on stage
Love the way the beat drops in after the 14min mark.
The wizard is back with another rockin sound potion :)
Potion seller, give me your strongest potion.
Wizard? Dudes a full blow Technomancer!
Easiest Christmas list ever, just get the guy more patch leads.
The trippy sound, the big machine, your cheerful dance, everything is perfect
At the seventeenth minute...Look to the right, our spaceship is flying near Mars))) beautiful music, Thank you man for the good emotions.
Lovely!❤

Spotty bad
I keep coming back to this one. It's simply amazing.
Thanks! The ending was quite a nice surprise :)
woohoo! more rob! 15:20 onward is absolutely immaculate btw
dude your sense of melody is nuts
That really was so complex, yet it didn't clash with itself. I could hear every individual part. Thanks again for the inspirational music

And another relaxing session. Listing to this on the way back home. After a long day. Keep up the good work ❤
Hi brother , I’m m living with your music.❤ Its seams im geting to diferend dimensions . So deep, so amazing is unreal .❤🙏🏻
Careful you don't accidentally hit the warp drive button
This shit moves dude... I really dig it. Cheers!
That's some leading edge space-vibes, awesome as always!
So this has been on my repeat for the last 2 hours and my head is floating :D Thanks man, amazing sound!
Stellar Art
What is that emoticon?
A nice surprise is right! Love this!
Thank you very much! 🙏
Beautiful mastery, beautiful music. Well done Rob! 🖤
Thanks so much! Yup. It was one of those rare moments where everything accidentally fell into place. :)
Great surprise 🎉
Your work is inspiring. Makes we want to jam too. Keep it up Rob! Much ❤ and respect from the Netherlands

Just found this channel because of a 50 second video that got viral, and now I'm staying, incredible work dude. Greetings from Brazil!
Adore your stuff Rob, it works pretty much everywhere in my life and it's fantastic across the board. Always look forward to your releases
Very , very nice ...as usual 🤗🤗🤗
Come on man this is way too good to be done in denim and a sweatshirt in your spare room. I can get so lost in this.

You rock. @@robthebloke
I was feeling this too. At least the wall could use a nice tapestry or something. And maybe some mood lighting
awesome performance!
Man you gotta tour the states dude.
The melodies going on in here are totally insane, nice work!
Cheers from TN! This is such wonderful improvised Art!
Some lights and effects would be somethin else to this
The Doepfer A-197-3 is nice for lighting if you can spare 4 hp for a new module and have some spare envelopes and mults.

Maybe you should have thrown a sickie. This is absolutely amazing. Could listen all day!
Honey wake up, new robthebloke just dropped!
This is my new favorite channel. Love your music man
i feel like the birds outside were reacting to some of the synths
Superb! What an amazing jam!
Why aren’t you selling out stadiums yet???? Phenom
came for the tunes, stayed for the dance 😆 keep going man!
nice! you could pull off a pretty rowdy live set in a venue!
3rd Amazing Rob! can't wait for more!!!
I like this shift in sound. It's sound way better than previous sets for me. Niiice change
Cerebral Physical even Heavens to Meegatroid...Turn it Up
Ear candy, delicious. 👌🏾

Sounding good, Rob!
Excellent!

15:15
awe ❤
16:06, there's a pitch or scale change. It's absolutely dream like. How did you do that? Was that sequenced or did you offset the CV for pitch?
A couple of cunning tricks ;)
I’ve got a video describing how I set up the sequencing here: ruclips.net/video/e_Ahss74v_A/видео.htmlsi=fvpsA8e9ygLisDex
Basically the whole rig can be transposed via the quantus pax. This has mainly been sequenced from the GC, however I’m running an arp from the sinfonion. Directly transposing a sequence via quantus doesn’t keep anything to the original scale, but transposing the sinfonion does. The two approaches fighting each other can give some lovely results (although to be fair, often rubbish results!)

I have no idea what this means but I love how you know your things@@robthebloke
