I love Joerg’s sincere expression of his sound design vision and the physical build quality is insane. I should repair the busted main encoder on mine and get into it again. I hope Joerg starts selling them once more or makes a version 3. 🤞
I really like the way you approach these videos. I'm always very intrigued when artists I like explain their methods and talk about their gear (especially in electronic and experimental music) but I think you really have an edge just because your set is very interesting in itself and your eye for video is also very sophisticated. Very good stuff, like always!
I’ve been using my little hand held tape recorder for years. I sample the recordings into an SP 404 where I mangle/chop them - then send the SP into a microcosm for further improvisations.
Geliebte Dissonanzen!! Wie gut ich diesen Entstehungsprozess kenne und liebe! Wie eine kindliche Vorfreude von damals :) Toll, dass ich mit deiner Hilfe jetzt noch viel mehr daraus formen kann, danke!
This track is beautiful. It was great to see the whole improv process at the beginning, so far mine is similar. I'm still kind of a beginner to composition so seeing you do that made me feel better, that I'm more on the right track than not.
I've watched a lot of these kind of videos but this is first one I found that breaks down the process. Amazing work with the music and video production ✨ Time to find my micro cassette recorders in the basement!
Recently came across your channel and now I'm hooked and binge watching haha. I love the lofi sound of the tape! Adds so much intricate detail that's really engaging and yet the warmth of the tape also makes it really peaceful to listen to
What I mean is, if you have only a little aptitude, you can stil learn with proper guidance and some extra sweat. Try a single line (melodic) instrument first, maybe clarinet or trumpet. Use that to learn to read treble clef. Then try the bass, it's also very accessible. After a few years of bass, you get guitar for half-price. At this point your ear should be pretty decent, then maybe investigate singing a bit. Good luck.
Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing. I have spent the last few months trying to work out what you are doing with your numerous set ups and look forward to more videos like this. I'm always wondering what you are sampling with the OP 1
Thanks! I sample a lot of different stuff, but I record it too tape first then I sample into the OP1. This gives a nicer texture to the digitalness of the little synth.
Great music. Very musical. Like that setup. Gotharman tools are out of this world. But isn´t the Ableton-plugin-detour a bit overkill. A good harwarecorder with some equalizing could do the job as well.
+Ralph Fischer thank you! I like Ableton and the plugins I use with it. My main hardware recorder is a Telefunken M15 by the way, but that's a bit large to carry around. :)
Grandioses Video. Den Kanal direkt mal abonniert. Danke für die Inspiration. Dann wird mein OP-1 am kommenden Wochenende wohl auch mal den Schwarzwald kennenlernen.
Slacquer he said this was a portable set up i feel like he brought the tape recorder OP 1 laptop effects and such but the piano was already wherever he was at
@@Hainbach yes actually and that does nothing to soothe my fear very soon the only affordable music gear is going to be recycled tin cans and comb harmonicas
Ach, there is so much stuff out there. And then there is software, too. Compared to the time when I started it's crazy how affordable beautiful instruments have become.
@@Hainbach that's definitely true but at the same time you have things like the op 1 that cos the same as an assorted bag of organs I'm very young and I don't have money so most of my music has been based around free or pirated software
I'd love to see you do a video on an a mainly software produced project It would be a bit out of your usual wheelhouse since you mostly work with hardware
Absolutly wonderful... Is there any synth/controller other than the Op1, that you can advise me to use for this setup ? I'm new to the ambient world :) Cheers from France !
I see a lot of noise/experimental musicians using field recorders. Do you have a video explains the reasons why one should own one and which is a good one?
What a wonderful setup and beautiful music! May I ask if the stereo outputs of the timeline goes into the 'remote' input on the Olymplus? Also, very curious if the 'mic' input is for your personal monitoring? Thank you for sharing!!
I love playing with other people, been in bands all my life. I have two duos right now, GUT GUT with Darrin Wiener and ODD NARRATIVE, with whom I just released this: muzaneditions.bandcamp.com/album/parks I could do something about playing with others, its a topic dear to me.
Hey, Hainbach! I was wondering how you tend to sync the OP-1 to your modular gear, if at all. I recently picked on up and am trying to see how it is going to fit into my setup. I'm not 100% sure yet, but, I was hoping you might have a video I haven't come across, yet, or some interesting workflow to suggest. Thanks for your time if you choose to reply!
This is lovely man - thank you for sharing. What is the benefit of recording into the Olympus before bouncing to Ableton rather than going straight into Ableton? All the best, Laurie
Not yet! Never got around to making packs, as composition work is usually more fun (and better paid). But it might happen in the feature. In the meantime, I release regular sound and sample packs on my Patreon.com/Hainbach that have to do with the videos I make.
i love the use the the tape recorder! what kind of recorder is that? also if i recorded something on one and i connected it to my computer is there anyway of getting it on to my computer?
+Julia Brandon buy cheap tape decks, plastic Behringer stomp boxes, a Shure SM 57 and a small mixer. Above all, just do it and sort later. Experiment instead of expect.
no worries :) by my question i meant are they 9th chords, minor / major? 13th inverted. I'm tryna figure it out, there is this triumphant shimmer but also sense of loss to the chords you're playing which creates a beautiful dichotomy
FuxkPhil He sounds like he's playing in a minor key, using voicings on the left hand and triads on the right. I think. Don't trust me though, my music theory isn't great.
+oskarvonephesos wow if i could give you a gold star i would haha, it's not that I wanna copy the chords but more so study the mood they brought. I like that mood. thank you.
0:19 Hainbach does not need equipment. Hainbach simply points to the sky and beautiful music appears. Hainbach is a God.
god damn hair gets me everytime.
Gives me an idea for a verse
Thats too high praise. There's only 1 God, pretty sure he doesn't wear glasses.

Kudos for a glimpse into the methodology. Really enjoy your videos and your compositions. Very inspiring.

That was really fun to watch. The music + the process. And the piece is just gorgeous.

Thanks for sharing. Lovely soundscapes.
Nice sad dark ambient piece there! :)
I liked seeing the whole process! I specially like the high pitch echoes glassy type of sounds. Cheers
This is really cool, I wish I had any musical talent. I’m still going to take the tips in this and start to learn making things myself

Great Monday morning inspiration. Keep up the great work Hainbach!
Thank you, will do! More ideas than time!
Yes, for me, it is a very inspiring video. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for watching! Will do more process videos in the future.
My minimalist setup is bashing rocks and sticks together while grunting, it's the original way to make music and i may or may not be a caveman.
This is what I do at every campfire past midnight, brother caveman!
What would you use instead of the deformer if it’s really complicated to use ?
Bringing a piano on vacation is Ded. I. Cation.
Slacquer he said this was a portable set up i feel like he brought the tape recorder OP 1 laptop effects and such but the piano was already wherever he was at
The percentage of Ded is very high in that Ded.I.Cation
that was awesome!!
magical sound :)
Interesting way to make Musik with 80er gear. Dope.
Thx!
I won't call it a minimal setup but the video content is interesting.
Amazing. Thank you!
nice! what camera do you use. I just started making my vids of my op-1!! what do you use to edit tyour videos btw
Dictaphones are going to skyrocket in price cos of you
Ha, have you seen my buyer's guide? 😄

Hi Hainbach! This your tutorials is amazing.
What is the name this Olimpus recorder, this used in your video: by
Absolutly wonderful... Is there any synth/controller other than the Op1, that you can advise me to use for this setup ? I'm new to the ambient world :) Cheers from France !
Classic Casio SK1 ist nice with a lot of pedals.
HAINBACH thank you :)
@@Hainbach Now, that would be a "limited" set up :) I used my SK200 similarly in the past and its wonderful.
I see a lot of noise/experimental musicians using field recorders.
Do you have a video explains the reasons why one should own one and which is a good one?
Spontenous recording, always ready. That is the best reason. I like the Olympus for size, but would love a Sony PCM D100 for pure audio quality.
HAINBACH I want to buy one soon. Which is the best all around one you recommend. Money is not a problem.
Very trippy thanks for sharing.
+Dave Massie thank you, much appreciated!
Great. Thank you for the explanations. Now I need some money for the Deformer :-)
I got mine in a trade, well worth it!
Great work. Is everything (both OP-1 and Sanyo) going through Deformer and Timeline?
Thank you, indeed they both go through
Thank you Hainbach,,🔊
What a wonderful setup and beautiful music! May I ask if the stereo outputs of the timeline goes into the 'remote' input on the Olymplus? Also, very curious if the 'mic' input is for your personal monitoring? Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you! The Timeline goes to "Line In", monitoring via headphone out. Remote is for remote control AFAIK.
HAINBACH Thank you for replying so quickly! Appreciate it very much :)
Hey Hainbach, I wonder if you also like playing with other people? You show a lot about your process (which is great), but it's all very solo focused.
I love playing with other people, been in bands all my life. I have two duos right now, GUT GUT with Darrin Wiener and ODD NARRATIVE, with whom I just released this: muzaneditions.bandcamp.com/album/parks
I could do something about playing with others, its a topic dear to me.
@@Hainbach Thank you, good to know! I'll give it a listen soon. (also love playing with other people)
Thanks for sharing, question, wouldn't it be possible to do all of that with just the OP-1?
Tape sound - no. Piano - no. Wide HQ stereo echoes - no. Unless you track a lot of stuff to DAW afterwards, which is what many people do after.
Amazing
+FiveElementNinja thank you!
NIce one!!
minimal setup --|-- op1
choose one
Rather fantastic
Very interesting 👍 🙂
what sounds did you have loaded into the OP=1 for the harmonies?
Mostly sounds from a composition I wrote for orchestra.
How do you warm up your dictaphone recordings? Do you EQ them heavily?
Love your videos. You should keep making more behind scenes vids like this. But I have a question. Do you work for samplified??
Thank you! What is samplified?
Is the chain Dictaphone » Granulator » OP » Timeline » Dig. Recorder? How is the strymon timeline in stereo?!
+Mathieu Simard exactly, that is the chain. Timeline is indeed a stereo FX.
I am now searching for my dad's old sanyo hand recorder haha ♥
+Mathieu Simard happy hunting!
Would be nice to see the mastering aa well

Thank you! Its quicker and less distraction. Olympus does one thing only, the laptop does so much more.
Gotcha. Thanks man.
What type of sanyo is that one?
