- A modular abandoned session : the rooftop
We witnessed many sunrises lately,
from total darkness, to full Light.
My favorite moment of the day,
when everything is possible, again.
Unforgettable experience,
in the middle of the forest,
on the gentle hill.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Creative process
M e t a p h y s i c a l A l t e r a t i o n
is a 4 sessions series,
all taking place in the same locality.
I've been following this creative process
for more than 2 years now ;
1/ Finding the right place
This first phase can take long weeks of investigation and explorations.
We always have to take in consideration the material we need to transport. Some places are impossible to access discreetly with two large cases, a generator, bags of cable and cameras.
2/ First Exploration
We never go in if no door is open, even if the place
was abandoned for decades.
That’s our number 1 rule;
« If it does not open, it is not your door ».
We first of all visit the entire place, room by room.
Sometimes, the room we chose is a direct revelation, like if the room itself choses us.
At other times, mostly when we are very stressed about the exploration or tired by the journey, we really need to first change our state of consciousness, to let go of everything and finally connect with the place and its layers of stories and histories.
From time to time, the process ends here.
I am always touched by the place’s soul.
But in some places,
I can feel that we are « disturbing » in a way.
Deep listening
When exploring, deep listening is at the center of everything.
You are there, silent, in a place you are not supposed to be, where no one is supposed to be, controlling your breathing, attentive and mindful of your environment.
Each sound can be a presence’s indicator.
Meditation
The meditation takes place in the room we chose.
This meditation, that I am refining each time, is based on different other meditation methods I learned and practiced in the past years.
I can perceive vibrations, sounds, sometimes words, images, flash, physical sensations, but what I feel the most is layers of emotions superposed on each other, taking all the space.
We all have these extra-sensory capacities.
All the exploration is documented with videos, pictures, soundscape recordings, and written notes.
3/ Retranscription : impact on the Creation
Remembering the past experience.
This stage can take several weeks.
I really need to be totally available, invested, centered and focus.
Most of the pieces’s compositional process starts with an instinctive vocal line or a sequence created on my piano.
Sometimes it can be a texture directly created on my modular synth.
And then everything flows, in a certain direction.
Growing from a simple composition to a full sonic orchestration.
4/ Layers of Perceptions
We finally come back to the place to perform the piece it was created for, creating different layers of perceptions, past - present - futur, birth - life - death.
The past environment ’s experience influenced the present creation, and the present environment impacts the future interpretation.
We never find the place as we left it, objects move around,
it is always a surprise.
All sessions are self-produced.
We are just a little team of 2,
chalisk and me.

Nb: i use a homemade generator (boat battery + converter) to power my system : ) Noiseless but quite heavy.
I'm so grateful for the internet for access to people like you in this world, following their instincts and making art which celebrates one's own, unique process......................so awesome to get to experience some of your magic. I may not ever get to fly on a plane again, but in my mind, the perfect trip would be to travel somewhere, with no expectations but to attend a 'live performance' by you........................................
Thank you so much Will 🙏 ✨💜 And i'm so grateful to have met you, and the entire community. I Feel so lucky. Where are you based ? if you can't get a fly, i'll do my best to pass by near where you live when i'll go on tour, when we'll be able to travel freely again.
My wife and I live in a remote, forested area in Western Canada. Very few people - lots of nature......after decades of touring with big rock bands, I'm happy to be in a more calm, centred life. If (because we're not injected) I can never travel again - I'm ok with that. Happy to be where I am.....our tribe here is strong and vibrant........So inspired every time I see that you've uploaded a new adventure............so nice to see (hear) such passion, commitment, talent and individuality alive in you........it reminds me that there is still a bit of inspiring stuff still going on out there......
Witchcraft! 😮 Ooohhhh boy! 🏃♂️
When I talk about Helene and try to describe her music to my friends, I often refer to her as the "Beethoven of Modular Synthesis". She is such an innovator. It was like she shut down the sequences, and just let the whole patch self oscillate at the end of that piece. She is a true circuit bender! ♥🌹♥🌹👏 Bravo!! Bravissimo!
Oh thank you so much 🙏🏻🤍🙏🏻 I'm sorry for the late answer !! I just saw it. Thanks a lot again for your kind words 🤍
those sounds are so familiar to me... beyond new horizons ...there are new lights, new stars to shine above , thank you for bringing it further , music evolution is always appreciated and these sounds
are also always a treat to the soul. I am loving this
i planned on working listening to your music but i ended up closing my eyes and just listening it religiously
Thank you so much Gabriel 🙏🏻✨🙏🏻
A friend blessed me with a vinyl factory gift card. And I happened to pick Patch Notes randomly without knowing what I will stumble myself into. I believe that things have a way of finding you. Your creation is one of them.
I just listed to it tonight and I had to follow you up.
You deserve your flowers 🌻🌻🌻
Thank you so much 🙏🤍🙏
Love it, thank you for the ride! ale
Thanks a lot Ale 🙏✨❤✨🙏
Un jour je t'avais dit que j'écoutais ta musique dans le métro et que, du coup, les gens autour de moi paraissaient plus beaux.
Eh bien je réitère le compliment.
Et je dirais même plus: c'est carrément la Vie qui est plus belle grâce à ta musique.
Et je tiens également à féliciter la personne qui te filme.
En résumé: ta musique plus l'excellent tournage forment un tout cohérent et délicieusement harmonieux.
Merci, Hélène. Et merci à tes acolytes.
Vous brillez et me faites rêver.
oh Tristan merci infiniment 🙏 ✨🧡 Ca nous touche énormément. Il n'y a pas plus belle "récompense". Merci de la recevoir ainsi 🙏
I can only echo what Will's Witchcraft (Hi Will) has said just below, awesome sounding and an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to.
oh thank you so much 🙏✨❤
really enjoy...thanks from Italy...super rooftop
Merci ma chère Hélène pour cet éveil musical enveloppant tout l'espace qui t'entoure...Tu as su repousser tes limites et nous offrir du Beau.... Merci d'être là, surtout en ce moment...
Prends soin de toi surtout 🙏 Fred.
Merci infiniment Fred 🙏✨️ 🙏
Thank you for the new music. I think you are so amazing.
Oh ❤ Thank you so much Matthew 🙏✨❤
That smiley face and I are one right now!

I just so so SO love your music xxxx this fits me perfectly. I wanna go out on this wave of music. Back to where I came from xxx
Fantastique. Fantastisch. Fantastic. Fantastico. 😊😍😍
Merci beaucoup. Hartelijk bedankt. Thank you so much. Grazie Mille. 🙏✨ 💜✨🙏
like the live at Pompeii for pink floyd, Hélène Vogelsinger
introduces me to this metaphysical sequence of a harmonious structure, always at sunset like pink, Hélène frees the sprites in search of hungry souls.
Thank you so much Massimiliano 🙏🏻✨🙏🏻
that blissful moment when the bass sets in, just wow, and it is just the beginning, this is going places and drags me with it!
Thank you so much 🙏✨❤
Good location :)
Great music :)!
And I love that outfit you're wearing :)!
Thank you so much Janet 🙏✨❤✨🙏
@@HeleneVogelsinger You're welcome :)! I always look forward to your projects.
A quoi bon penser ou croire que tu viennes d'un autre univers...
Tu es la plus terrestre d'entre nous!
A toi mon fils Gabriel.
Je t'aime!
Merci Hélène.
Merci infiniment Florent 🙏✨❤✨🙏 Plein d'amour à toi également
Beauty in its purest form. When I hear it I think: "It can't go any further." But you do arrive further. And then I think: "Now, this is the top." And you still go further, and further… I wish your songs would never end. Thank you very much for sharing them.
Thank you so much Mario 🙏🏻✨🤍✨🙏🏻 Thank you for traveling with me.
L'oiseau enchanteur est revenu nous bercer 😉👍🌠
Merci beaucoup 🙏✨❤
@@HeleneVogelsinger je te conseil = State Azur et Martin Sturtzer 👍😉
So beautiful and great! Thx
Thank you so much Jan 🙏✨🙏
Absolutely stunningly beautiful, Helen! Cheers from Oregon, USA.
Absolutely superb.
Thanks a lot 🙏🕊️🤍🕊️🙏
Before I listen to your music, I sit in my usual meditation postion, cross legged on a comfortable cushion, centre myself and only then, press play... Today, I climbed into a hot air balloon in a fresh but warm sunrise, as the balloon lifted from the ground and the morning song of the birds rang round my periferal soundscape. Slowly, the higher I rose I began to realise the balloon had metamorphosised into a sky yacht, slowly drifting through the French alps with a gentle breeze filling the sails and wafting my hair... Up and up we slowly rose until levelling out and then slowly decending until, with the birdsong back in my ears, and not even a splash, landed on a beautiful Swiss lake surrounded by a green landscape with vast mountains all around.. gliding oh so slowly slowly, fading back to reality, my journey was over, I was at peace with all of nature and existance. Such a wonderful journey that your music inspires within me. Then I listened again watching the vid this time. Such great locations you chose. After that, I read your notes on your process of how you create your music and chose your locations to make these video's.. I expected nothing less than you described. I truly Love everything that you have produced and not only am I thankful to have found your channel, but I am so much looking forward to parts 3 and 4. Thank you.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your incredible journey with my music 🙏🕊️🤍🕊️🙏 It means the world to hear how deeply it resonates with you and inspires such vivid imagery. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the locations and the process behind my videos. Your support and enthusiasm mean everything, and I can't wait to share more sessions with you. Thank you for being a part of this journey 🙏
Encore une fois 🙏🌱🕊️ merci , le son l'image .. transporte ,Top💪
Merci beaucoup 🙏✨😊
Thank you for sharing your creative process in the description... it makes each of these pieces all the more special and unique to understand how they were inspired and informed by the spaces in which they were performed.
Thank you for your comment that made me read the description !
Thanks a lot Blaise 🙏✨🙏
i wonder if you use speakers when you play or if it is an internal experience listened trough headphones. Im from Mexico where many abandoned buildings inspires me for artistical visions. Congratulations!
I love to read about your creation process, absolutely fascinating! Your two pieces in this series so far have blown me away...I wait patiently for parts 3 & 4 😊 Truly insiping work, thank you Hélène 🙏🤗
Thank you so much 🙏❤🙏 Part 3 will be for this autumn 😊
Holy music - I drink wine and eat bread with you :)
Helen is a Philip Glass for the modern day.... only different :)
Thank you so much 🙏🏻✨🙏🏻
Beautiful as always! love it 😍

thank you for this energy
Thank You Josefina 🙏🏻🤍🙏🏻
I've been listening to your music for a few years now Helene. You have made your own unique style. This piece was longer and a little different from your other songs and you took us on a journey.
Read the description before listening. Thanks for sharing the creative process and your thoughts.
Sitting in my garden and forced myself not to look at the video first time listening. Tried to listen with my eyes closed but once in a while open them and watched a bumblebee on a flower.
This is meditation ❤
Thank you so much 🙏✨❤ Air was an important part of the inspiration. I forgot to suggest to listen to it closed eyes, with the wind (or a fan) blowing. Thanks a lot again, for traveling with me ❤
Beautiful track Helene, love your work!
Thanks a lot Justin 🙏✨🙏
Absolutely beautiful. Truly moving.
Thank you so much Max 🙏✨🙏
i identify with your process.
feeling deeply and listening deeply ,...im so glad to hear you put that into words.
tuning in to and transcribing energies is difficult enough.
im so glad that you take the time and put in the effort.
i love your mind, and im pleased you have a partner that can help bring these things to life. thank you.
Thank you so much Michael 🙏❤🙏
Классная музыка!
beautiful and evoking
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
I'm lost in the depths of the universe, but I'm where I want to be.
🙏✨💜✨🙏
After seeing your patch notes performance I’m thinking about getting into modular synths… thank you Helene!
Oh fantastic ! Dont hesitate if you need help for anything. Thanks a lot 🙏🏻🤍🙏🏻
Watching this the other day I suddenly realized that maybe the cosmos - or at least our galaxy - revolves around Helene Vogelsinger.
Admittedly, I was under the influence of, well.. the music, of course, but also 🤔... this and that.
Anyway, sometimes life is a dizzying experience, don't you think? 😉
Oh 🥹 thank you so much 🙏🏻✨💜✨🙏🏻 I think everything revolves around Love 💓 and yes, what an incredible journey 🙏🏻
Very beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much 🙏✨❤✨🙏
la persona che riprendendoti "ti gira sempre attorno" è una bellissima immagine di una storia d' amore - ascoltandoti e guardandoti ne ho tratto meravigliose sensazioni - grazie
Grazie infinite per le tue parole commoventi Paolo 🙏🕊️🤍🕊️🙏 Sono felice che la mia musica ti abbia procurato meravigliose sensazioni. È un piacere poter condividere queste emozioni con te.
Amazing!
Phenomenal 🤯💚
Thank you so much 🙏❤🙏
Superbe travail, bravo à vous deux :)
Et merci pour les détails du processus, on ne s'imagine pas le temps passé avant, pendant et après !
Merci beaucoup Nico 🙏 ✨🤗 C'est un sacré process qui prend pas mal de temps, mais c'est tellement satisfaisant et épanouissant quand on arrive au bout de la boucle. Dernièrement on a du faire 3 sessions en 1 mois et quelques pour les besoins d'une conférence, c'était quelque chose ! Je les partagerai bientôt. Merci encore, et le Marie's LFO toujours au top et au coeur du patch 💜
the sounds you sculpt make me well up and cry so often and usually unexpectedly. a welcome release and momentary deliverance. i wish we were friends.
Thanks a lot Michael 🙏✨❤✨🙏 So happy to hear it. That's a beautiful reward 🙏
I wanted to explain (briefly, if I can) why I called you a MASTER, on a previous video- as I believe the context will prove informative. So here I was, watching about 6 videos of your's... but I'm also a musician, so I also at times naturally hear potential for creating parts in the course of hearing music. For about 4 of these videos I kept thinking, "man... this would be AMAZING if there were HORNS in it", and on the 6th video... you pulled out that clarinet, and... YOU DID IT
My mind was blown, because I knew THIS was what was needed. And then: you did it. And I was like... "HO-LEE SHIIIIIT"
Long story short. You were made for music, and music was made for you. We appreciate your fits of genius :)
Thank you so much for words 🙏✨🙏 It touches me deeply. Much gratitude 🙏
@@HeleneVogelsinger blessed be goddess :)
I just had a brilliant idea for a Helène Vogelsinger video game, where you roam a post-apocalyptic wasteland exploring ruined buildings and finding lost synth modules. Then you discover places with generators, where you can play ever more complex music as your system grows. It’d be like Fallout or Horizon Zero Dawn combined with VCV Rack. Have your agent call my agent! ;-)
That's an awesome idea !!!
Thanks to the cameraman for capturing such beauty happening on this earth
Just discovered your work ... and I love it! No idea why you need all the multicoloured cables ... 'patching' I do understand from early telephone exchanges and pre-digital switchers ... but watching you lean from side to side tweaking and twiddling the pots is fascinating in itself. That, and your interesting choice of locations makes for a full audio/visual experience ... thanks for that. I expect you hate it when listeners draw comparisons, but your work, in my mind, stands alongside one of my favourite Polish composer/piano artists, Hania Rani ... I'm sure you know of her. R (Australia)
ton son est exceptionnel! On se fait envouter par celui-ci !!!
Oh merci beaucoup 🙏✨🤗 Gros bisous à tous les 5 💜 et à bientôt en France peut être 😀
Ça serait un grand plaisir pour nous 😊🥰
oh wow only just discovered your music and its breathtaking! you are truly capturing the beauty that there is in this life. the whole aesthetic of your videos is gorgeous.Im feeling deeply inspired listening this
Thank you so much 🙏🏻✨🙏🏻✨🙏🏻
super !!!
Nice !!!!
Thanks a lot 🙏
Amazing sounds
Thank you so much 🙏🕊️🤍🕊️🙏
Merci pour votre musique ❤️🦋
Merci à toi Leïla 🙏 ✨💜
Очень вдохновительно, супер, купил бы все будущие альбомы.
Большое спасибо 🙏🕊️🤍🕊️🙏
I dove into modular after watching a couple of your videos. I am very bad at Eurorack. But peruse it to keep my mind working. This tune is captivating. The concept of places is a great approach for inspiration. You both make a shared experience and then share it. If you ever come to the US, I’ll be there.
Thank you so much 🙏✨❤✨🙏 Oh i hope the modular journey is going well so far. Don't hesitate if you need help. I'm much more reactive on instagram
shes gonna fly love
🙏🏻✨🕊️✨🙏🏻
Hey girl, I just want to tell you that you give me a good energy, and as a feminist, this is like a treasure.
I love your work, and as you give me the best, I wish you the best
merci beaucoup du Kentucky
Merci beaucoup à toi Jeff 🙏✨🙏 Warm greetings from France 💜
I was trying to respond to someone unaware of the modular = real instrument. But they remove the comment. Here are my thoughts:
Modular synthesis is like having to build your instrument every time. Let's pick a string instrument as an example. Not the sound, just how this is made. The instrument characteristic is the sum of simple parts: strings, body shape, materials in general, percussor type, and so on. With modular, you can pick a set of parameters to build a whatever instrument, and the fun part is that you can morph them as you wish. So your parameter can change every ms or 1 minute. Linearly? Exponential? Randomly? No-problemo. You can build a violin that rolls into an arp in response a whatever event you wish. Modular, it's fun yet complex. If you want to know more, I think you can find a large community happy to share.
Stay inspired. Nothing else matter.
Thanks, Helene, for your music🧡
Thank you so much for this explanation, and your kind words 🙏 ✨🧡 It can be hard for people out of the modular world to comprehend what's going on, which i can perfectly understand (remembering myself watching for the first time a modular patch in action). Thanks again 🧡 Wishing you a beautiful day and weekend. Take care
@@HeleneVogelsinger "Overwhelmed” is putting it mildly :)
So wonderful
Thank you so much 🙏✨❤✨🙏
Another beautiful session! Thanks for inspiring me to create my own sounds. They're not nearly as good as what you and others create but I enjoy making them anyway. 🌴🎧
Thank you so much 🙏✨❤ So happy to know you're creating your own sounds ! Sending all my best energies for your journey ✨
Thank you, Helene! I appreciate the supportive sentiments. I also have an interview channel, so please know you are always welcome to come on as a guest and we can talk about whatever you want. It would be great to promote your work in any way I can. Here's the link to the interview channel in case you're curious. Warm regards! ruclips.net/channel/UCoobO-TWsWR3YHmj7YgjBIQ

Métaphysique altérations
Voilà un titres poétique et pleine de promesse.
C est très puissant ! La deuxième partie est intrinsèquement lier au thème
Mais y a t-il un effet lofi à un moment donné ?
Trop fort quant même Hélène sans ordi !
J aime beaucoup l implication personel dans tes performances
Le final scintillant !
Merci 🙏
Merci infiniment Giovanni 🙏🕊️🤍🕊️🙏 oui, absolument. Il faudrait que je ressorte mes notes après toutes ces années et les sessions qui se sont enchainées pour te dire le patch exact. Il y aura un booklet où j'en parlerai lorsque l'album "Metaphysical Alteration" sortira, normalement l'année prochaine 🙂
Love
Thanks a lot 🙏✨❤
Ending gave me Aphex Twin vibes :)
Oh thanks lot 🙏🙏🙏
Another stunning track and video, a brightness in dark times
Thank you so much Jerry 🙏✨❤
Man creates dark times. 👽✨🌍
Beautiful, thankyou Helene. How do you make the choral textures on the modular?
Thank you so much Paul 🙏🏻✨🙏🏻 It is my own voice recorded and reinjected in the system via sampler modules and mixed with the rest 🙂
what did I just stumble across
hahaha, yes i know 😅 🙏✨🙏
