A live, semi-improvised performance, all on hardware, and inspired by a new synth table for performances, plus a few new pieces of gear. I had been humming a weird rhythm in my head for days and eventually realized it was in 11/4 time, and captured it here. I also was missing the sound of analogue voices, so I broke out some of my favourite analogue synths and drums to comprise the song. But of course, a good analogue voice only gets better with some (admittedly digital) effects, in my opinion, so I added in a few favourites (Empress Reverb, Polymoon) and a few new ones (the Typhon's on-board effects, Strymon NightSky). Ultimately it's hard to make such pleasing synths sound bad.
Arturia DrumBrute Impact - Drums, drum sequencing
Squarp Pyramid - All melodic sequencing
Dreadbox Abyss + Strymon Ola + Empress Reverb - Pads
Dreadbox Typhon - Melody
Moog Minitaur + Meris Polymoon - Bass
Moog Matriarch + Strymon NightSky - Two arpeggios
Kenton MIDI Thru - MIDI through!
Written in a 48-hour period and recorded live, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

oh, a new jay hosking video, let's look what's new on the desk this time...
I was super impressed by this live performance. Most of the time I hear live synth performances, they sound like jams, interesting ideas, or additive loops. But your stuff sounds like an actual musical piece. I love it. Hats off to you.
If you wouldn't have written that the piece was in 11/4, I probably never would have noticed (consciously). I tend to like strange time signatures, but they're even better and more fun when they're not totally in your face.
Also, thanks for inspiring me not to buy more gear but to continue to delve deeper into the gear I have.
Wise words indeed
That was impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed that, rewind and played it again.
Jay your jams are always nothing short of inspiring, this is no exception, keep on rocking in the free world.
This is incredible :O Such warm and ethereal tones!
Wow.
As a big piano nerd, I’ve been trying to get into synths and have had a hard time. On RUclips, synths feel more like knob-turning sonic exploration than actual music. Rarely is there a MUSICIAN playing a synth. This is what I’ve been wanting to find.
Spot on,-
Was excited to see this in my recommended list!! Captivating sonically and Visually as always!
This is cool, Jay. Great work as always
This is beautiful, love the initial 11/4 beat!
I'm in love with this sound.
I just picked up the Typhon, and it's great to see the nuanced sound you're bringing out with it.
Lovely stuff, hope to see more~!
I love how punchy the Drumbrute Impact can get! Definitely on my buy list.
Excellent stuff as always Jay, thank you for this lovely journey. 🧡
Watching (and listening) to your YT videos has always been and still is inspirational. Thank you very much for the time you put into these. Love your vibe :) Keep it going 🙏
Great track! Always admire arrangement and mixing in your tracks!
Great work on this jam! I always enjoy your on-screen commentary.
Amazing as always ! Thank you.
That song bring me to my childhood! Thank you Jay
man,
this is dope.
The live performance is really on point, and i also found myself in your littles texts ahah.
Keep on rollin
I'm a bass player. Just found your page.
This is great stuff. I keep vintage Fender Basses to try and fill the bottom because they are dirty, imperfect, grizzly.
Always been jealous of Moog. Especially the minitaur. It fills the low bass space completely and effortlessly.
Thank you for sharing this. 👍👍❤️
Nice jam ! I've had the pyramid for 2 years and still learning new tricks , love it
Absolutely beautiful.
Absolutely incredible man. Just magnificent 🙏🏼
Nicely made video with a running commentary which gives it an informal quality, great mixture of boutique synths and effects and a great track to demo them. Well done 👍🏻
Beautiful. As always awesome.
Killing it, Jay. I lovvve the Drumbrute's snare!
Man this is some great music! There is just something special about analog!
I loved it ! And also I like how you explain what's going on in your jam :D
Woo! What a lovely setup.
Omg those Dreadboxes sound so gorgeous!!! Also this tune is so good it has been stuck in my head no chance of leaving
So good!
Amazing track with great sounds.
Really nice setup.... love it!
This is lovely. I love the 11
Excellent Jay, well done. Works without doubts, thanks.
Sounds great!
Another superb track Jay. You never fail to impress! Another highlight as to why you never see an Abyss on Ebay! Love the 11/4 too!
This is genuinely one of the coolest sounding things I've heard in a jam
brother this is awesome!
Solid stuff!
man this is so fun to watch
Simply amazing! My wife and I were jamming out to this. So good.
the thing i love about your videos is a lot of the time you have a full arrangement of sounds in a mix. with the drumbrute in particular it's frustrating to try to get examples of how it sounds as a part of a larger mix when most of the videos out there jamming with it just have 2 or 1 instruments and sometimes people are just jamming on a lone drum machine. it's so nice to actually hear how it sounds as a part of a full mix in this video.
very nice track and a cool setup. i confirm everything you say about the drumbrute impact. plus its built like a tank providing great haptic feedback. - and yes, excellent session.
Wow. Really really good mate!
The Matriarch through the Nightsky sounds good... thanks for that Jay. 11/4 is interesting but i would not have known if you didn't tell us!
brilliant!
very impressive i like
virtually perfect
Really love the bass you get out of the Minitaur!
Clean setup and nice jam!
awesome !
I think that one's my favorite. Sheer fun.
Great video!
I watch this video weekly. Your patches are worth studying
BTW, don't know if you'd be into that but live streaming on Twitch while noodling with your gear would be freakin cool to watch. Just chilling, sipping a drink, interacting with the chat,... I'd use my monthly sub for that in a heartbeat!
Bellissimo!! 🤩
Merci et bravo !
I played with a DBI today at GC. Later a quick search to learn more led me here. Now I have no choice but to buy all this gear I guess! Thanks for the inspiration.
This tune still send the warm fuzzy wawes up my spine ,- I love the way you are making this planet better with....music .... And we DO ....make the planet better ...with music.... And to THAT .... Ill drink
.. Cheers Jay 🔥🍻
Setup: 6850 €.
Mr Hoskings skill: priceless
From that setup I got only Typhon. lol
This make me crying and sobbing of Joy ,-
Excellent
Nice!
Inspiring, everything is so well crafted. The snare might be a bit too in-your-face sometimes, but that's the Impact for you.
"Dummy"?! You gotta be some kinda freaking GENIUS to be jamming in 11/4 time, man! But I'm thinking maybe you had a stroke at 3:40 when you switched to 4/4 "happy" time beat. Mercifully that passed. :-)
Hah!
That was fucking wicked mate!
Beautiful song
So beautiful, especially at 3mins, I'm in love :3
Very cool man.
Great! Abyss sounding awesome as always. Oh, and tidy cable management :)
Nice!!
i was thinking about selling my dbi. but it has to stay. just the fm drum alone sounds so cool.
nice one jay ✌️
😭 .....so.....beauty......full......!
Love the use of the Matriarch
when the Abyss comes in, so good..
imagine this mixed in stereo.... definitely subbing!
Beautiful set up! More importantly, very creative and well balanced. Cheers!
this gets me everytime,-
Great jam as always! I’ll be interested to see how you get on with the Pyramid. Been on the fence about getting one for a couple years. Still mostly sequence with the Octatrack
I think the Pyramid can provide some inspiration when you need a little help with new composition ideas. But yeah, the Octatrack's sequencer can do the trick just fine in most cases.
@@JayHosking - I love the Octatrack to bits, but I find midi sequencing to be hit and miss in certain areas
Really nice. Subbed
Great job and wonderful song!
My greetings from México City!
Wonderful jam! Was considering a Grandmother, but you're making me want a Matriarch!
Had a Grandmother, sold it to buy a Matriarch while it was on sale. Will never regret that decision. matriarch delay is killer. I use it more often than the delay on my magneto. Don’t really miss the grandmother verb at all and 4-note paraphony is extremely beautiful bc you can get different tones out of each not in a chord. Thought it would be a limiting factor not having full polyphony, but I can get really unique chords by having each paraphonic voice use different waveforms. Way more features to go into as well.
@@bingbong7927 If I had the space for a Matriarch I wouldn't have sold mine. A beautiful machine. Some day....
Fuck dude. You're great. Totally buying your music now. Thanks!
WOW! the ''let's turn it up a bit'' last section had me bopping. It's 3am here in the UK and I really, reeeaally should be in bed but goddamn.
Nice
Lovly music❤
Drums remind me of Morning Bell! Love it!
MMMnnnnn What a perfect way to start a fresh day ,- :-)
That moog looks like a beast O.O
11/4 adds interest. 4/4 120 gets boring. I love the piece. 11/4 & 7/4 are my favorite time signatures. Easy to dance to. 💃🏼💃🏼😄
Kinda "Morning Bells" (Kid A, what an album!) vibes! Cool
Bad. Ass. Thanks for this!
This jam is fucking tight.
woooooooooo 3:42 was so nice man. I love your videos
Amazing job on the setup and track. Thanks for sharing Jay! Any update on the Typhon...you still enjoying it?
Really enjoying it still. It's not my favourite interface, but it sounds great, has hands on with most of what you'd want, and the presets are handy. It's part of a main table setup I have right now.
@@JayHosking Thanks for reply, much appreciated!
Good job again. Is this on your recent album on Bandcamp? 🤔
Thanks. This one is available for Patreon supporters, but not yet on an album. As soon as I have a cohesive record of material, I'll post it!
Do u compres or EQ something later? Or its all raw because it sounds so good... analog....
Are you using the shifting BPM of the Drumbrute Impact to achieve 11/4 time? Genius moves here.
You are wonderful this is perfect. Filled with emotion
Finally got a Typhon arriving next week woo! Can’t wait to see how it fits in with my other little guys :)
Edit: oh boy, Dark Matriarch just came home with me eeeeeeeeee ;)
