Thank you for that interview, Warren. I play the U8 for about four years now in a group doing instant composing. After checking technics it open up another universe to me. So thanks to Markus again for building that great instrument.
That Is a mindset that should be More widespread, i think that lots of artists feel like having a side job or any other method to support thenselves or somehow dimishes their work, but that I so dumb, even Shakespeare had a bussiness to support himself. Everybody needs to pay the bills!
The lyricism of Crimson is equally incredible to their musicianship and is sometimes overlooked. He has his contradicting views She has her cyclothymic moods They make a study in despair Three of a perfect pair - King Crimson
These guys were awesome live- best show I’ve seen in recent memory-and they all came out front after the show to take pics, sign merchandise and hang w the fans! True Gents!!!
I went to see them two nights. Got to talk to Markus between sets about the instrument, and the learning curve. This interview helps me understand what he was saying. Also got to meet Warren the second evening!
Zappa, Fripp, Page, Robert Quine, Television, Andy Summers. Rush, Bowie and Miles Davis. I also Love The Cars... My first album in 23 years is coming... Will be challenging as hell to mix but your vids psych me up... It's more fun tracking but i feel more and more confident I can do the music justice when mixing, Im an old hand but there are immense new tools, exciting. Thank you for doing this.
Today i listened to Marcus` Todmorden 513 walking in the park. Truly fantastic piece of work that pierces through my heart falling from an neverending sky. Deep thanks, Marcus!
Thanks for this informative interview with Marcus: "Learning of what is learning, system of learning, theory and analysis of music"...there are vital points for almost all people in a (creative) discipline. Marcus' endeavors to understand the creative nature of his "practice" reminds me "Dr. Bill Bruford". :). Perhaps, in the near future, we can read a PhD by Marcus Reuter, why not? :) Thanks for this interview again. We need to hear much more on such creative musicians' efforts to understand and their reflections on the nature of their "creative practice", and their "learning process". 🎸🎸🎸
Really loved this interview. The chemistry between Markus and Warren, sharing creative ideas, was quite something. Thank you both for a fantastic time of "thinking outside of the box". Tried to remain quiet, but I know I somehow percolated through a bit. ;)
Markus Reuter makes his own great music and integrates so well with others. I saw him with Devin Townsend on the European part of the Empath tour in November 2019 and I couldn't tell which sounds came from him Mike (Keneally), Nathan Navarro on bass or Diego Tejeda, the keyboard player (these days also with Haken). And this is meant as a compliment! That concert was so much fun and Markus had a great part in it. His solo stuff (Gratitude 1&2) "Music of our time" with Gary Husband and some more is on my play list since I discovered it. What an interesting artist!
Markus never ceases to impress and inspire me. Only really dove down the rabbit hole of his discography in the last year but so much of what he says, whether it be about music or his upbringing, is scarily relatable for me, being that music was a birth giving passion of mine in a non-musical/working class family, and that I do a lot of heavy long delay/loop based soundscapes and frippertronic-esque. Even how I use a synth combined with my guitar, it feels like "more" when I use the string rather than a key oscillator. Great interview Warren, you're covering all my faves in the Crimson family circle of late!
A great interview! Markus is such a tremendous talent… and it was fun to watch Warren’s reaction not only to the U8, but Markus’s looping setup. Keep ‘em coming!
Super cool I really dig Marcus and subscribe to his channel and have had some dialogue. Missed this tour nearest they came to me was a six hour drive from where I am in southwest Colorado I almost did it but we have had real bad winter anyway they rock! People should check these guys and there work! Thanks Warren!
I don't know anything about Makus -- or didn't until this interview -- but two things I find quite astonishing: 1 - his ability to get that "Fripp" sound, and 2 - your discussion about "art" in music, which was in many ways the most important thing I've seen on this excellent chanel in quite a while. Thank you! Perhaps you might consider exploring the "inspirational" methodologies (e.g. Brian Eno's oblique strategies) more in future episodes. Thanks again!
I watched this interview with great interest and have a few thoughts to share. (1) Greg Jones, the drummer in my Prog band, is fond of saying that there are more crayons in the crayon box than blue. (2) Parallel Perfect Fifths are bad... except when they aren't. It all depends on your desired result. (3) To make school learning (music theory) useful to me, I don't look at it as a set of rules on how to create new art. To me, it is a language geared toward analyzing musical compositions that already exist and communicating with other musicians. One may do anything and then use theory to understand what you have done. Whenever you have done something that theory cannot describe, then one can expand theory to accommodate. Hi Makus! Bernhard will play on my show very soon (in April, 2023). You're welcome back any time.
Saw Markus live with Devin Townsend. It was a hard to hear the details of what he was doing in the huge live mix, but whenever he poked out of the mix a bit it was really cool to hear touch guitar in a metal context.
@@markusreuter Yeah, I realise you weren't supposed to be featured prominently in the mix, just filling out the sound with some cool lines and big ambience. Devy's not really known for his sparse mixes 😄 I caught your show in Copenhagen
Could someone help me with this... Im trying to replicate his crossfeedback loopers, or delays, whatever it is. The thing is, i do not get the loopers to evolve from each other really, what kind of looper is he using in the box, and also, if you try with delays, its very cool, but why it gives me a infinite feedback noise instead of evolving music tones, thanks! Im doing it on pro tools. channel 1 is guitar, and two mono aux with two delays, 3 and 4 lets say, and channel 4 sends to 3 and 3 send to four, it shouldnt give feedback right?
Having watched Pat's drum kit from behind I can say 2 things: 1) he is indeed orchestrating and running click tracks and samples, etc. 2) he is a very loud drummer ... even listening from behind the kit!
Who are some of the most influential musicians that have shaped you? Share below
Mark King and Guy Pratt, these two bassists introduced me to this instrument. before that I wanted to be a keyboardist
A guy called Markus Reuter... who was instrumental in introducing me to Guitar Craft, which changed my life.
@@DutchKyotaku that's amazing!!
J.S.Bach, Terje Rypdal, James Blood Ulmer (late 1970s-mid 80s), GLENN BRANCA

Markus is a hugely talented composer and wonderful musician

We saw them at the Baked Potato, incredible show
One of my favorite quotes from Markus in the interview, "Learn something useful to support yourself; you'll do the music anyway."
That’s wonderful!
Brett I agree, Markus is a wonderfully informative, imaginative and smart guy!

So good to have Markus on the channel!
Yes, Markus is a huge talent and a wonderful guy
You HAVE ti get Robert Fripp on here Warren!
Haha I hear you!
What a fucking dude. Never knew of him before, but now he’s a legend in my mind.
Haha yes, indeed! Amazing stuff
I’d definitely watch a part two. This guy is legit.
@@jacobmiller9885 There will be a part tow! I can assure you! Love what Markus is doing!
@@jacobmiller9885 Plus we will visit him in Germany
Hell yeah. Keep up the good work man.

Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much Christine! Markus is the man. I had an amazing time hanging out and talking music
You did remain quiet until called upon to answer questions haha

Absolutely! Did you see this:- ruclips.net/video/Ux4xP2SYJYE/видео.html
a few drums maybe a bit of percussion and this guy is a band with this beast lol

All marvellous
I've just realized Markus looks a bit like James Gunn. :D
I will have to check that out
OMG, that makes sense! 😮😊
