Hi Everyone! Just wanted to give my sincere gratitude for everyone who stopped by this weekend, listened here, for your kind comments and those who bought the album on my Bandcamp. That support allows for this to happen. I appreciate you. Much love to all and
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommas today.
Love, LBD ❤️
What an amazing piece of music. It felt so familiar yet so unlike anything else I'd heard. It took me a while then it finally hit me - Michael Stearns. This recording reminded me of early Michael Stearns, only with much better recording quality. I absolutely love this kind of dreamy, otherworldly, evocative music. Amazing. Heading over to buy the album shortly.
I'm a student at Full Sail University in the Audio Production - Bachelor of Science Degree Program, and I just wrote about you for one of my assignments. I even mentioned how I fell down a rabbit hole of being entranced by your perfected craft. Love your work -- Hailey
@@haileyhimes538 That’s so wonderful to hear! Let me know if I can be a resource.
I recently vented about the gap in synth education and now feel I must apologize for directing it at you - an inspiring individual doing more than most to educate! So, yes, I do apologize for my misdirected frustration. I watched your interview with Matt who also had questions about that empty space between elementary and advanced learning. I’ve been on the path you suggested to him for about a year - watching RUclips, doing tutorials I can find, re-reading manuals, etc. I don’t know about others but I often feel ‘synth anxiety’ which is akin to math anxiety - that psychological trap of beginning with, “Oh boy, this is going to go right over my head and even if it groks, I will not remember it tomorrow.” I love the sound worlds you create and I love the alchemy and the suggestion of mysticism, and your performance gestures which keep you and us in the flow. Some scoff at that aspect of your performances - offense at the pretense of spell-casting. But I see it as your body connecting to the circuits. I think it was Pauline Oliveras who said, “Listen to the circuits.” (?) Your story-telling approach reminds me of Keith Jarret’s extended solo improvisations - the move from simplicity to complexity and back again - the way of so much music and story telling. His decision to stop - to re-enter earthly time - suggested that this story goes on. It began before he started playing, he wove us into it and back out again, like stepping back ashore. He would do the namaste hands and stand up. As with your journeys into parallel worlds, he danced across the grid and the groove, the underpinning, but lyricism was the breath and life of it. Your Jazz and R&B experience is powerfully evident in the way you find the pocket of each piece. So many kudos! That you can do this so beautifully with modular synthesis - in performance - is extraordinary. So, I’m definitely inspired to keep going - chasing Bella Donna! Rather than gripe about the lack of instruction, I think it’s time to reach out and find local Moogers. There’s no group here but maybe I can get one going. Thank you for all you do! Come to Minneapolis!
Wonderful, a true masterwork. Thank you so much.
I’m 65, recently retired…and have started my journey into synths. Perhaps if I live to 120, I may just be able to begin to comprehend the setup. Brilliant.
Nice keep it up!
I have 64 and I bough 7 days ago my first Synth, a Cobalt 8 from Modal. I do not know any of produce or compound music, I am just an audiophile and I love music. I was surprised when I read your comment avobe. Do you now enjoy your first synth? Do you still play it?
@@ricardopineda8224 yes I do! I have a Korg Monilogue and an Arturia Microfreak
@@wicky4473 Congratulations! Have a nice days with your synths and many days of life. 🤣 Thank you for answering.
It’s not a question of age, but just of passion…I am 62 and acquired my first synth in 1982…it was a Sequential Circuits 6-Tracks. Since then I had many synths, some I kept , some I sold….but my passion never diminished ! Hope you enjoy your new instruments as much as I did and I am still doing!
This is why I got into synthesis about 40 years ago and still coming not even close to what you're doing here, Prima Donna of Moog. And with a setup like that, who cares being in lockdown. The world of the mind is always wide open and without rules and borders. Your storytelling is just amazing.
Hi-
Holy cow, look at that wall of Mothers! Happy Mother’s Day
Thank you ❤️
You could say...it's the mothership.
Awesome!. I had not heard something like this, nor had I been hooked so incredibly quickly, since Isao Tomita! I find the sounds and textures that this beautiful woman achieves in her machines sensational and wonderful, I can spend hours enthralled and hypnotized by these wonderful sound waves!
This lady is actually a sorceress. Such cool sounds, even though it's mostly synthesized, it all sounds very organic and human.
all the beauty of a witch and a wizard, the voices of so many spirits being channeled. a small moment to appreciate we've shared this and a moment, that's all. be well, all who see :)
She's a bloke.
I love how you never shy away from the dark side of life as well as embracing the luminous.
As a student of Tangerine Dream way back in the 80's, let me say I am blown away, you are awsome! Thank you for your musical creations,
The thing with Lisa is that she combines great synthesis craftsmanship, hauntingly beautiful compositions and deliciously nasty shredding. There is something here for fans all over the synth spectrum, from Jarre and Vangelis to Rudess and Wakeman - and Lisa can definitely hold her own in that company.
The only thing I can say is wow you’re taking electronic music in different level just like tangerine dream in old days, you are super talented, as been long time that I seen a electronic musician to be proud of lady.
When you can sit down in front of all this wonderful gear and actually make amazing music like this... that's almost the meaning of life
I just found your music today. I'm a 64 year old man who is absolutely mesmerized. So beautiful. I was watching something about Geddy Lee and it took me here. You have a new fan.
The World of electronic infinity 😎💕💥 and a QUEEN of synthesis Lisa
This concert is insane! I'm an Italian rock/metal keyboard player and I've recently discovered Lisa. An incredible talent, sound designer at the highest level and great composer. I feel a blend of sensations when I listen to this: warm electronic music, how it should be conceived (imho) as an expressive tool, perfectly combined with feelings coming from Nature, like sounds of "spirits of the woods" during a light raining... I'm a big David Lynch fan and while i'm listening to this music I can immagine this as a perfect soundtrack for Twin Peaks!
Lisa is a great example of overcoming the (apparent) "oxymoron" between music made by playing electronic machines and the pure Nature; Electronics IS a part of Nature and this is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this
Davide
And then some people will still INSIST that plugins sound the same. Fantastic music, sounds and performance. Thank you.
The instruments and the music are extraterrestrial. Perhaps the performer as well.
Music very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very good. Syper class music full album 2021.
Well, after seeing/hearing this performance I don’t know if I should just woodshed in my little studio for the rest of my life or just sell my gear and forget it. What a talent, what a sound and what a work space. Beautiful...
Please just keep enjoying and embracing your own journey with music! ❤️
I agree, music is a very personal experience and you can have a great time in many ways on many levels. Even with one instrument or just your own voice... ❤
Another zinger from the sonic sorceress. :)
You are the most talented artist I've come across on youtube. This work took me to another world full of color beauty. I too am a keyboardist/drummer. I saw
Karlheinz Stockhausen perform Tierkreis at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in the mid 70s when I was 16 yrs. old. My aunt was a volunteer there and our family was visited that day. He played a modular synth that generated rumbling low pitch earth shaking sounds that preceded each of the twelve compositions. Each composition was played on unconventional, original acoustic, brass, reed and stringed instruments of his own design. The whole performance created an other earthly atmosphere. I am so lucky to live in an age that has someone so gifted like you Ms. Bella Donna you are an inspiration to me.
You know what is this …. This is heaven here what you do Lisa is heaven. I love you God
I feel so at peace now...
Lisa I just wanted to let you know that I have listened to your whole collection these past weeks and it is helped my COVID-19 related depression while I do my RN charting. Huge thank you! I have even picked up a Moog Matriarch to do my own therapeutic playing after work. You keep on doing you. And I will keep on doing me. Have a great day!
Synths have also helped me out a lot. They are wonderful noble machines. I truly believe that.
Man, Lisa's discography is outstanding! From Deadsea to EYE to all her solo stuff... Simply stunning!!!
The best Moog Ambassador and great analog mastery to listen to
Lisa is on a different level. In my book she is the best electronic musician of the current generation.
The Synthstress plays wonderful music,thank you,amazing
Lisa watching you perform is as wonderful as listening to the magic you create....thanks for bringing us along for the ride ;}
Absolutely spellbinding from start to finish. As a musician, I find myself listening to Lisa's music and making a deep connection with her sound world. It's especially interesting to me because as I listen, I become aware that I wouldn't make music quite like this and yet I love it soooo much. Upon reflection, I believe this is a testament to Lisa's truly unique musical language. Of course I wouldn't make music like this; there's only one Lisa Bella Donna!
Wow, Space. Very nice. The Mellowtron, I think on old Tangerine Dream Songs. Superb
A demonstration of true synth sorcery and musical talent! Bravo Lisa!
Hands down, THE coolest lady on Earth & maybe even beyond! A true inspiration to all of us. :)
A few years ago I discovered Klaus Schulze's 1977 WDR-performance on RUclips and was super-obsessed with the music I was kind of aware of but never paid much attention to when I was still in Germany. After listening to so many so similar sounding albums my excitement and obsession started to fade a little, but this all changed again when I discovered your recordings. I don't know how, but you make it sound fresh and magical again. Amazing journey - definitely one of my favorite (if not *the* favorite) bc-Friday additions today :) Thank you!
Bella-bella, Donna-donna...
A great master makes the incomprehensible look effortless. Thank you for releasing this to the world! Love from the American southwest.
Lisa the synth priestess Divine, uplifting music shakes my soul. Moog’s wonderful bass and ethereal melodies sensitize the soul. Wonderful performance, Music is a divine gift that expresses one’s deepest feelings. Wonderful!
that studio is worth more than my life, Amazing performance too :) theres just something about synths
May be the Coventry cathédrale..
Actually just a legacy from TD...
As Always so beautiful sounds and inspiration. Great job, Master Lisa,
French kisses from country of JMJ and don't forget Florian...one year missing
Lisa's compositions are so wonderfully personal and original, yet evoke the same chemical releases in my brain that only the greats like Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze have ever touched. There is so much depth to her soundscapes and her harmonic and melodic content is just as rich.
Same
This just began to play after another RUclips vid. Fantastic! Great discovery!
The Voyager Patch very reminiscent of Jan Hammer..Love it! 😍
I really love your music - and your studio.
Dear Lissa , you are playing the same as I with your heart , so beautiful !! I hope to see you in concert in the Netherlands maybe later , I am playing always with my old Moog Taurus Peals and my Flamenco guitar music is my life , Gracias !!!
Now... watching... all those knobs and blinks.... mesmerized... hypnotized... Wow!
This is the "original" Tangerine Dream sound and vibe. Well, sort of, more a reminder, a re-interpretation, with more rhythmic complexity and layers (I think this might result from being a solo musician and having everything under control). Love it!
Sometimes, it is fun to watch someone who understands how to play music do so using these crazy high-end synths. Actual keyboard chops + modular == mind blown. Cheers.
Lisa you are just awesome, bravo!!!! :-)))))
If you thought time and deep space travel weren't possible, just listen to this. Magnificent!
This is what it sounds like after everything has stopped and the simplicity of reality in its perfect unity is wondering whether to do it all again.
❤️ The Jedi of synths - a genius. There I am with one or two synths 😳
Je suis époustouflé par autant de maitrise de ses instruments, connaitre par cœur tous ses appareils, les moindres réglages, en plus de pouvoir jouer en live alors que la luminosité n’est pas toujours très bonne et avec toutes ses bretelles de câbles, une vraie jungle pour s’y retrouver sans se tromper, c’est vraiment très impressionnant de voire cette facilité déconcertante avec laquelle vous jouer !!!
Avec tous ces appareils, je retrouve plein de sonorités des années 70 comme avec Mike Oldfield, Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Pink-Floyd, toute ma jeunesse !
Vous êtes vraiment très bien inspiré musicalement en plus d’être une technicienne hors norme, un grand bravo à vous de France ! 💙🤍❤
Incredible compliment of instruments and sound Lisa. Truly outstanding performance! 🎹 🎶 😎
Lisa is such an awesome babe... Love from BIL NSW Berkeley Vale...
Looks like an alien ship but it sounds like heaven and it will stay modern for 10.000 lifetimes.
Hello petit bonjour de la France 🤗j'ai trouvé la qualité de votre set magnifique la douce sensibilité féminine m'a fait faire le tour de la galaxie...merci et bonne continuation 😘🏵️🌞🌙🌌👁️💓
it brings me back to my childhood ... exploring Vangelis, Tangerine Dream et al ... and now Lisa Bella Donna, thank you ... I
Great fan of Tangerine Dream. Listen to Lisa for the first time. Love IT ! And thanks for your contribution on Star One !
Thats how music should be... feeling! It doesnt matter the style, feeling is the most important... feeling and creativity, when feeling is there means creativity in action also. In modern times feeling and creativity seem to be lost somehow. I am a musician also... and this performance made my day! Specialy the last part of it! I have no words... do we need words? We need no words but let the mind opened and let the music come inside! I feel music like this. Once David Gilmour from Pink Floyd said "Music is the air, we breathe with our ears"... something like that!
Lisa thanks that musicians like you exist...still! Hugs from a portuguese musician! Love your work!❤
Gorgeous as always Lisa. I'm always stunned by the complexity of your music. Lots of love from the UK 💜
Second the Holy Cow. 😎 Really profound soundscape which correspond so well with Sisters with Transistors. 👍🏼🎹🖖
This reminds me of Tim Blake's Crystal Machine done right. Love it!
Lisa. The Mother Ship is closing in on you! ABORT. ABORT! Seriously though. If I were to write a movie script. You would be my first in line for the score. Great work and thank you.
Hi Lisa, I'm a bit late to the party but loving this concert right now!
Autopsy ☻️ I like the dark atmosphere.
Love your knowledge, creativity and your music . Thanks @lisabelladonna9381 ❤️🙏
ABSOLUTELY ENTRANCING!!
A year late but right on time ,I am a fan of you now Lisa.
Et bravo Lisa pour ce merveilleux voyage avec les sons des synthétiseurs bravo bravo 👍😘😍🙌👏👏👏👏👍
mooie muziek!!!!! Greatz from Holland...
A moog-symphonie, taking Klaus and Edgar to the 21 century. I had fun listening to your wonderful music.
During this psychedelic sonic journey I travelled through space, experienced an emergency situation full of peril, fear and anxiety then made peace with it all towards the end. On reflection, it had a familiar feeling because that's how life is in reality.
I’am French,i like a Space Music playing with MOOG 🎹
holy shit, this reminds me of mark morgan's fallout OST, I love your music!
Extraordinary 👆 super performance 👏 👌
And that , is how it's done 🖤 Thank you Lisa
Wow. I discovered you through your "Choosing a Moog" video for Reverb, which led me to your "Show Us Your Junk" video for EarthQuakerDevices. After learning what a fascinating and inspiring person you are, I started searching for your music, which led me here. I am not disappointed. This is incredible stuff. The masterful way you manipulate these devices, as though they were an extension of yourself, is awe-inspiring. The sound is just fantastic, really something special. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and your art. Very inspiring. Your music will be a permanent addition to my playlists.
nice! kinds reminds me of my sounds lol! keep up the great work!
For my money, I don't think there is a musician alive that evokes sounds that are as beautiful as the ones created by Lisa Bella Donna. It just immediately takes me to a place of envisioning nature and the celestial. Incredible
Just recently discovered you here in RUclipsLand. You and State Azure have become two of my favorites.
This is unbelievable.
The music is magnificent.
I'm also blown away by the gear.
A melltron tucked underneath... a Moog One just sitting in the background.
How does a human get hold of such premium gear!?
Thats alone, is an impressive feat.
A very nice musical journey. My favorite part is Autopsy; it sounds fantastic on headphones, especially with the lights off! Regards. :-)
This is excellent indeed, Lisa Bella Donna🙂
Have been so inspired but your music I’ve started adding behringer model d and neutron in my wishlist of synths to start with.
You're still blowing my mind, Homegirl.
Very, very good! rememb much with all respect Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schueze, but you give a special toch, for me all musician have your own like digital mark. I love much the sequencials Moog sinthesizers to offer! I was hear Ricohet, Rubycom and Phaedra with headphones going for more 40 min to work in supermarketing this help much to cure my depressure for a divorce and now to listen you! Congratulatiosn Lisa!!!
Is that 9 Mother 32s I count? Wow!! A wall of sound. Simply amazing and beautiful. Thank you for posting!
Yes, that’s correct
Thank you for watching. 🖤
I find your compositions to be extremely soothing and transcendental. They allow me to shut off all the other noise in my brain generated by the outside world and they allow me to focus to a point of an almost astral travel like state. Not many artists and their music do that for me anymore. Thank you.
Thanks to RUclips for having suggested me your channel. Awesome !!!
bella bella bella 🎹🙏🥰 You re inspiring me for My new álbum🙏 thanks 💞
I Will have to start with one of my old favorites by Deep Purple from 1971:
There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history…
And then a salute from us in Sweden in the form of ABBA 1977:
-Thank You for the Music ;-)
So many knobs and sliders! What do they all do! An totally digging this music tho, it’s hypnotizing!
I thought I wasn't into the more atmospheric type of modular music but this video has single-handedly changed my mind
And here’s me thinking I’m the only one still working with tape 🤦🏻
There’s some magical sonic sculptures been built here. 🤜
I feel you are deserving of knowing one of my secret sonic weapons!
It’s the Fairfield circuitry long life …. a bizarre parametric eq with CV for the filter and the Q 🤫
I recommend you keep it under your witches hat!!!
Nice corner for nice music ...really TD flavour
Omg omg 😲 i stopped the vid in the middle just to type this comment and show you support, can't describe how amazing u are Lisa !! Going back to it now byyyyye 🔥♥️♥️♥️♥️
Instantly mesmerized by the moog master LBD. 🤯🤩😌🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥
Perfect soundtrack for painting
Amazing and beautiful,..we are entering better times
Dammit! This is AMAZING!! I stumbled across this and could not stop watching. Felt every bit of it and got lost. Felt peace and power. Thank you for sharing your art! I loved it!
@Robert Salinas, same!
Is that your IIIp? I love the bokeh on the panel lights! The dynamics of the first piece are very tasteful as well. You are very skilled at mixing a diverse array of synth sounds that easily devolve into chaos if not handled appropriately. The Voyager and Mellotron compliment each other so nicely. You have also done exceedingly well to justify the merits of Moog's euro line. I've been waiting to see you thrown down on the IIIp for a long time! Don't forget about that matrix mixer, it's amazing. The dual trigger delay also! This is very much on the shoulders of TD and JMJ with regard to the need for multiple modular systems set to their own programs that the composer simply passes-through to make a wonderfully connected live performance. It takes a lot of planning and careful programming to get everything just right as you did. This all is just fantastic. Very Gershon Kingsley there (WGBH) at the end! You keep outdoing yourself, Ma'am.Thank you for this.
Beautiful
I haven't been on social frequently for a bit. What a nice surprise to find!
