================================
The world needs weird music. My goal is to help musicians create music that is interesting, diverse and thought-provoking; help musicians engage with listeners who value their music.
Subscribing to this channel shows support for that cause and will give you access to my weekly Cubase music production livestreams as well as my huge back-catalogue of music and guitar videos.
Got questions? Leave them in the comments section, that's what it's for!

Thanks man! Yeah it's a bit of a mad setup, the audio side is pretty simple but the video is kinda nuts....
The synths and the SOMA ETHER v2 are routed straight into the MX-1 which provides a lot of the audio glitch and tempo-based FX. The Novation Circuit provides the beat and melody as well as the MIDI clock for the whole system while the Korg Monologue is doing the bassline. The MX-1's outputs go through a pair of matched D.I. boxes and into my Focusrite interface, recording into Cubase Pro. I do a bit of levelling in Cubase and then send that to the video editor.
The video stuff.... So I have a bunch of old Sony Zeiss cameras from the early 2000's which I use for this sort of thing. The overhead camera is one of those, and I'm also using a slightly more modern Sony camdorder which is what the ETHER is attached to. Both of those cameras are going into the LoFi Futures composite combiner which is basically a camera switcher which provides a glitch effect controlled by an incoming audio signal. That video signal goes through a couple other hardware effects but they're not actually used in this video (the video I uploaded yesterday has a bit more going on visually).
That video signal is captured by an SD-to-USB capture device (a cheap one I got off Amazon), and I did a bit of editing and effects processing in Movie Studio - like the glow effect, the mirror effects, that kind of thing. I also recorded a screen capture of a couple bits inside of Cubase which are masked over the top in places, the frequency spectrum, that kind of thing.
Oh, and there's a couple ADJ Hex Par LED lights doing something and one of those starfield projectors, for fun.
That's probably more detail than you wanted but thanks for asking XD
