Thank's Gary this was a so strong and inspiring video... this is a true example of that it's not about of what gear you have at your disposal that makes the performance but it's alla about the capacity of the user when dealing with the limits of the gear at disposal bringing even more creativity to these sessions ...you can really see the physical relation between you and all synthesizers during the performance ....like a violinist ... nothing compared to endless scrollings of VST sound libraries on 24 inches screens in DAWland...thumbs up and keep doing what you are doing because it's outstanding...
Wow thanks Thom - one of the most insightful comments on my channel! Totally agree that the more hands on and tactile you are with an instrument the more you can organically manipulate it. In fact it probably is the case like an acoustic instrument, it will just sit there silent without input - vs say much EDM, get a drum beat going and add a bleep every few bars, minimal input, sounds more machine than man? And as you say a DAW requires a lot more controller input and takes to reach similar results to knob per function mini synths ... also check out my latest from yesterday with a similar setup to this!
I like the future! The kids are alright. I remember asking Starbucks in Canton Ohio if me and another guy could do a set... We wanted to show off our XP-80s MIDI sync capability and my new Boss Dr Sample... Which actually didn’t sync despite Boss being the same company as Roland. Starbucks confirmed, but when we showed up they changed their minds. We had to run an extension cord from the Blockbuster Video across the parking lot to claim our rightful place on that slab of concrete. A deal’s a deal. IWe’re all hacking away at this kernel of truth..spinning out on the joy and irreverance of life in the context of dread and profound loss. Anyway, thanks for putting in the work. Made me smile.
@@GaryHayes I love the brightness of all Korg analog. I’m doing a little modular and I find a bunch of Volcas to be more symphonic. So with never take them out of my set.
This is the last minutes of some dystopian future sci fi flick. They emerge from the rubble of the underground to see the sun for the first time...roll credits. Love this-great job!
Hey @Gary P Hayes, I just want to say thank you. The last six months were tough for me, I got sick and still am occupied with recovering. But your video, this piece of unearthly beautiful music gave me back something that got lost in the last months: my desire to make music. To fucking rock, like you did there. T H A N K Y O U !
@@GaryHayes I didn't mean to discredit your work, I just meant to say that I have seen so many videos where people put all sorts of stuff through these Strymons and the result is always beautiful.
I Have the same volcas but i dont know why..I can't play the same perfection that you play🤣😉great..one the best video i've seen with these machines...😉👋
You can do it! Alessandro with practise, but it depends on the genre of music really. The hardest part of this piece was the Volca Keys and getting the first chords in really, everything else is relatively easy
Someone was slagging off the Volcas, and I remembered this from when you first posted it. Still sounds great and demonstrates what can be done with these little synths.
Sounds great! This is what I love about the Volca's, you can sit at your dining table and make great sounding music with hardly any space needed and have fun in the process. Anyone that discards these as mere toys is a gobshite.
Yep people forget how far technology has come. You can fit a ton of synth power in a tiny package now. The Volca Drum, Keys, Sample, FM, and Modular are all extremely powerful synths.
Just added the Volca Modular to my V.Drum and V. Sample2. The fact that each one, has its own sequencer is fantastic... With each new Volca, you get another layer of independent sequencing. So much fun, in such a small space! Your performance is very beautiful and inspiring. Shows how much a talented, creative person, can do with these. Best wishes for your continued success.
Appreciate that xmr... yes the biggest thing for me on the volca sequencing is active step, that ability to just add and take notes off/on the fly, creating unllimited grooves, in the process of selling my vDrum at the moment, preferring the Beats purely for the warm analog sound and of course modular and keys are analog too
@@GaryHayes thanks for the tip, I’ll try experimenting more with the active step feature. I see a Volca FM in my future, will have to check out the V. Beats too. Fun stuff :-)
Wow, I really loved this performance. I have volca keys & beats & mix too, but my old (good) casio cz-101 instead of the modular. Congratulations for your hard work, by now it's one of the best sessions I heard.
Glad you like it Diana - yes a very popular jam this one, might get to 100k views soon :) Volca keys is certainly a classic already - good luck with your setup!
I've watched a ton of volca and modular vids in general and this is just superb! You should put affiliate links in your about section to your gear in this vid. People are def gonna want to pull the trigger on those things they've been wanting for a while after watching this. You may as well get a few dollars for yourself from it!
@@GaryHayes haha. Yeah i just watched your great same with your massive synth set up, then you pull out the guitar. This is the 'mini me' version. The Volcas are great synths!

What @thombroom5515 said. Beautiful!
Last hour of my nightshift and I'm sitting here listening to your beautiful music. Thank you for what you're doing
Glad you enjoyed it Ptalch ... have a good snooze too! Used to do nightshifts long ago, continental shifts, messed me up for a while!
MOVE OVER Tangerine Dream here comes Gary P!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Haha - I think TD have already moved over :)
I'm glad the RUclips algorithm finally hooked us up. This was brilliant.
Cheers GS - the YT algorithm has been a pain recently, although this piece does get into peoples feed a lot!!
yep, probably one of best volca videos on youtube
Thanks BT!
Agree completely
I like the future! The kids are alright.

You mastered those machines my friend. Loved every minute of this video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Ben!
cooooooooool🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
cheeeeeers
Using those itty bitty patch cables for live playing, is actually nuts. Very impressive stuff.
Yes live patching with them not great for my biggg hands!
Amazing work. I've been itching to get back to my volcas and this was more than inspiring.
Go for it Casey! Cheers
One of the best performances I have heard on YT….😮 Great 👊 😊
Wow, thank you! Oliver!
Listening to this again after a few years......such an original piece, Gary. That Korg Modular blew me away.
Hey thanks for popping back AMS2382 - always welcome
man this is shockingly beautiful💜
Thanks MoP! appreciated
I watched this to see if the Volca Modular was the next toy of my dreams and yes, yes it is.
Many thanks Katrina - yes I love it for this type of live sequencing, but it can do soo much more. Enjoy
love that moment at 36 where you check if theres any coffee left
Yes a highlight for me too! - it shows how one can get immersed in a piece though :)
What a journey... Well. I have to go back to reality now.
Love.
Cheers Med Be
You’re a wizard, Gary.
By the way. Took me about 20 seconds in to subscribe. Amazing work. 👍
Thanks v much Brian!
Thanks for the sub! 20s must be a record :)
Beautiful! Finally a great example of the Modular being used to actually make music and not just to „experiment with“! 💪🏻
Much appreciated WM !!
A true performance. Holy shit. So much with so little.
appreciated Barnes
Hats off, absolute mastery of the Volcas.
Many thanks Drakva
Slowly slowly enters one's heart.....wow....audio magic at it's best. Stunningly beautiful Gaty.
Glad you enjoyed it Justin and nice to see you over on this side of my world too :)
I love the warmth of Volcas even the FM- this is a sensitive piece that also goes joyfully off the rails.
Yes love my FM2 - so useful ... would have been nice in this piece, but the Keys shines here ...
@@GaryHayes I love the brightness of all Korg analog. I’m doing a little modular and I find a bunch of Volcas to be more symphonic. So with never take them out of my set.

Yes definitely rebirth'ness going on in parts of this, but mid sections it starts to disintigrate again! Cheers Jared
@@GaryHayes cheers right back-subscribed.
Some of the best Volca work I’ve heard.
Thanks E-Con - appreciated
you had me at coffee
haha - yes all my pieces have coffee in the title now ... although it could get tired :)
WOW ! So Inspiring !! Thank you so much for that "eye closeing good" moment of space time
Cheers Mr F - glad you had a listen!
Hell yeah

Wow... just I don't have words...

@@GaryHayes Thanks Gary, cheers!
Dang! That boy, Gary, he good!
thanks mate
This is absolutely superb, big Jean Michel Jarre vibes.
Thanks for listening David - yes minor synth chords are owned by JMJ :)
Just listened to this while browsing your photos. Thanks for the excursion 🙏🏻
Thanks for listening and viewing! Appreciate it FS
Inspiring! Thanks, Gary. I loved the horn-like instrument on the Keys.
Thanks for listening Matt - yes the brassy pad sound really makes the overall sound bigger for sure!
Neo Tangerine Volca!
Yes those minor arpeggios will put anything in TD territory for sure!
Like what I here. Makes
me wanna incorporate more
Ambient feeling in my own alien chillwave productions. Rock on!
Thanks AiA - alien chillwave sounds intriguing must check it out!
Awesome 🖤
cheers mate
Amazing! A space odyssey...
Glad you like it! BT!
I had a very good time. Thank you. It's wonderful . ✌️🇧🇪
Glad you enjoyed it sAmSam!!
the hidden frequency of the heart is given expression thru composition...beautifully done.
Thanks v much Skiibo!
Tangerine Dream watch your 6! Bravo
Haha - cheers OM
Besides the sip of coffee, you made Really good noises!
Haha. Should have sampled that 😀
@@GaryHayes haha, I honestly bet _you_ could make that slurp sound cool
Very nice! Has the feel of Tangerine Dream's "Love on a Real Train" - which is always a good thing to feel of!
Thanks mate ... Yes, shame it was used in that movie :)
It reminds me a lot of Ricochet pt2 as well.
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers! TOC!
Sweet setup and drug rug! Love the tunes !
cheers N D
Nice.
Thank you! Cheers! PL
Was going back and forth on the volcas, but now I know what they can do. Thank you... I'm definitely sold now. You use them well.
Happy to help Seth - they can be big, if you get 'detailed' with them, if that makes sense?
jolie stand 👍 et bonne ambiance musicale 🎹👍😉
merci Spat!
Stunning. More please!
On it! GT
Awesome Jam!
Thanks for listening VRE!
I wish you'd do these every day.
I try at least once every few days - ta
One of the most impressive Live Volca jams I have heard, Bravo!
Cheers Tiny - appreciated
Very nice mate.
Thanks for the visit CMCK
This is very much my jam
No it definitely was mine :) Just kidding, ta Ian
The soundtrack of my life...love it
Thanks Robert, sounds like you have played it a few times!
As fellow volcanaut this took me to space!
Thanks Jordan - and for listening and travelling! :)
Nice set!
Thanks! t r i k O s k
Whatever you put through a Big Sky comes out amazing.
Yes this is all to do with the BlueSky I am using, without it sounds crap :)
@@GaryHayes I didn't mean to discredit your work, I just meant to say that I have seen so many videos where people put all sorts of stuff through these Strymons and the result is always beautiful.

you give them life

@@GaryHayes thanx for replay....i'll try with practice....but you are a monster bro ...very cool sound
Nice track! Sounds like TD 😊
It does!
Someone was slagging off the Volcas, and I remembered this from when you first posted it. Still sounds great and demonstrates what can be done with these little synths.
Yeah lots of people who are focused on brands, sound quality, band wagon vs actual music and performance ...
like the Ozric top . great vid.
Thanks AM - appreciate that ...
damn .. It's amazing! great job!
Cheers ikamy - thanks for dropping by!
Amazing.

Sounds great! This is what I love about the Volca's, you can sit at your dining table and make great sounding music with hardly any space needed and have fun in the process. Anyone that discards these as mere toys is a gobshite.
Totally agree, probably as much analog power in the little volca keys for example as the early commercial synths of the 1970s ...
Yep people forget how far technology has come. You can fit a ton of synth power in a tiny package now. The Volca Drum, Keys, Sample, FM, and Modular are all extremely powerful synths.
Nice great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
I could watch and listen for hours. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Ax Grue - plenty more on my channel, hope you subscribe :)
Splendid, really impressive.
Many thanks! Herbert
sympa !
cheers!
Time well spent sir! Respect.
Many thanks Ryan - cheers
To think all this kit is a fraction of the cost of a OP1 field and sounds way better...superb Jam 👍🏻
It really is! HM ... thanks for the listen!
Some Tangerine Dream vibes! Love it
Thanks Mod - agree!
Just added the Volca Modular to my V.Drum and V. Sample2.
The fact that each one, has its own sequencer is fantastic...

Hopefully good, outrageous :)
@@GaryHayes yes, good outrageous - I am off to get a modular to accompany my volca family now
Fantastique 👌😊☮
cheers SRF1

Nice
Thanks Mr Hall!
muy bueno
Thanks v much San Pler
Cool jam

A relaxing journey at the table. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Gary :)
If that's your kitchen setup I wonder what your studio will look like 😁
Beautiful music!
haha - just a simple setup in my photo gallery ... see other recent videos and CHEERS Estampida
@@hischuzzness551 Appreciate the listens!
THIS is an outstanding Volca jam!👏
cheer GIO!
yeah, Gary---this is outstanding.
Hey thanks Johno - appreciate that!
Beautiful
Thank you Jorge!
Don't know what I could say that so many here have not already commented. Just beautiful! :-) Subscribed!
Wow, thank you! Gene - appreciate the sub, been a bit thin recently! :)
@@GaryHayes Probably just everybody getting out more since they've had their vaccinations. :-)
So I was listening while laying in bed. Starting to fall asleep. Dreams. visions. Glimpses of my past. Nodding off into sleep.
Then 37:30 happened.
Nice and sorry I do apologise about 37:30 ... I didn't know what I was thinking!
@@GaryHayesBest rude awakening ever. You're a magician with these. I'll keep listening!
Mandarin Dream!
Yes those minor sequences owned by TD for sure :)
pretty cool. those tiny cable would make me nuts!
Yes they do, changing live like this - I have a video here where I was doing much more changing, felt like pinhole surgery :)
I loved this a lot!! Can't wait to get my little collection started :D
Good luck!! TFHCTOE :)
Was waiting for you to pull out a ukulele and start jamming
I usually pull out a guitar :)
@@GaryHayes haha. Yeah i just watched your great same with your massive synth set up, then you pull out the guitar.
This is the 'mini me' version.
The Volcas are great synths!
