Thank you a lot! And yeah, I love this tiny lake. Always so quiet, minus the lovely birds, and it has always been a meditative experience, now on the next level with the addition of modular 🧡
Before recording this, I always thought and said the same. So being able to finally do something like this was... like meeting your own heroes. Now I want more and more nature in my music 🧡
Ahaha I understand completely because I thought the same even while filming this! I wonder what other people walking around the lake thought I was doing, with that strange machinery and my obscure-IPA-taster/reviewer hat I had on 😄 But I am glad the result was worthwhile, otherwise it would have been a disaster and I should have stuck to succulents on the desk 🧡 Glad you liked it 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, I am glad you got to participate to my little musical adventure by the lake. The powerbank is an Omars 88Wh. Availability depends a lot on the country, but I liked this because it was still portable enough I could even bring it on a flight, while the next tier from Omars cannot. To find what could be best for you, I would recommend you to just search for "powerbank 220V" (or 110/100V, depending on where you live), or if your case is not as silly as mine (requiring an unusual 13V to operate) you can go the USB-C with PowerDelivery route, which would be way more convenient :)
I’m thinking build a system around Buchla or get solor42 (I loved your solor50 video) do you have some opinion about these synths? Since these synth are so rare to try at shop and also rare to see the guy who has experience with both (I under stand solor50 and 42 are different) I would love to know how was your experience with these machine. By the way I also loved your shirt!
Interesting options! (be ready, my comment will be long, sorry in advance) I understand why you could be deciding between these two sides, especially from a video like mine, but there is something very important to consider: they are completely the opposite, and they cannot get into any sonic territory of the other instrument. • Buchla's approach will be about very simple building blocks that can be used to create something incredible, or not. There will be times when with a modular you get completely nowhere, and you will have wasted a lot of time on nothing (which can be educational too, but...). There are no FX, and even the smallest system will be quite bulky (the modules are very wide for today's standards, and not too thin, so you won't be able to use tiny skiffs. The sound quality is great, but even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be about that, since it is about the joy of the patching, the exploration, the achievement of a coherent work put together before your eyes. As with any modular system, but especially since it is made of small building blocks, you will want to expand a lot. Not only with other manufacturers, but also within the Buchla system, buying multiple copies of the same module, since everything will come in handy one day: I'd love to have a second sequencer for more interesting rhythms or another LPG for double stereo sum! • Solar42 approach will be about a wall of sound. It has effects, it has a touch interface for quicker access to the notes (compared to programming stuff in the tiny, unquantized, sequencer on the Buchla). It will definitely be better if you want to carry it around, but it will also require quite a bit of planning, since you will still be required to tune the instrument and you will have almost zero patching/programming, compared to the Buchla. I always found myself looking for more modulation, and I understand it wouldn't have been possible without completely redesigning the synth, with added costs and bulk. But I'd love to try it again! With the Solar50 I got fed up quickly exactly for this reason: it had the drawbacks of modular AND the drawbacks of a regular synth; now it seems they addressed part of my complaints with the Solar42, but the price also went up substantially. I think it depends a lot on what you value in your approach to the machine and the music: do you find relaxing and thrilling the challenge of patching from scratch every time? Or do you prefer having everything tidy and organized inside a big machine, but without the capability to go further in the process of sculpting the sound? These are both perfectly fine approaches, and we are so lucky to have so many good instruments available we cannot even choose ☺
Thank you so much for the great reply of your opinion!! I’m so happy that you explain so well and things started pretty clear and easier to make mind sometime soon in the future. If you don’t mind I ask one more question, how do you feel about quality of solar 50 compared to your other machines (include modules), sound, fx, machine noise… thank you again for great videos, I’m so happy I found your channel😊
Wonderful !
Thank you so much 🧡
This is just perfect! Perfect vid, perfect sounds...wow😮
I'm flattered, thank you so so much 🧡
complex and mesmerizing................such an original upload in so many ways....................
Thank you so much, I always appreciate your comments!
I wanted this to feel special, I am glad you noticed I did 🧡
Mesmerizing, both the music and the lake!
thank you so much, I am glad you liked both 🧡
Brilliant!
Wonderful scenario to make music with machines.
Thank you a lot!
And yeah, I love this tiny lake.
Always so quiet, minus the lovely birds, and it has always been a meditative experience, now on the next level with the addition of modular 🧡
I want to live inside the sounds you made with this. Bravo.
Before recording this, I always thought and said the same.
So being able to finally do something like this was... like meeting your own heroes.
Now I want more and more nature in my music 🧡
Beautiful!
Thank you.
Thank you for checking it out 🧡
I am glad you liked it ☺
Brilliant texures, clear narrative. Lovely!
Thank you so much, I am glad you appreciated the narrative too, I feel like I am maturing more and more with each recording 🧡
Sounds immense! Checks all the eurorack hipster boxes, but comes out as a tremendously compelling piece of music.
Ahaha I understand completely because I thought the same even while filming this!

But I am glad the result was worthwhile, otherwise it would have been a disaster and I should have stuck to succulents on the desk 🧡
Glad you liked it 🙏🏻
@@DexbaIt wouldn't have been a disaster if the result wasn't worthwhile, but a learning experience for the next jam
P.S. Pale Ales are the best
Beautiful piece!
Thank you so much 🧡
Such awesome atmosphere on this Dex !
Thank you so much 🧡
I knew the Buchla event would have been serious business, so I had to go all-in, and I am very pleased with the result!
❤❤❤
Amazing.
Thank you so so so much 🧡
Fantastic sounds and arrangement .and peaceful lakeside ...
May I ask what kind of power bank you were using?
Thx so much for this post
Cheers
