    Funny, I was so mesmerized by her bass drum sound that I asked under one of her videos and she was super nice in explaining some details. I love this community!

  • @ryanpwm-oldaccount5923
    @ryanpwm-oldaccount5923 3 года назад +14

    Haaa! I love that hand she waved around 46:00 when the kick comes in. You know she does that whether she’s being filmed, in a club, or totally alone. As any electronic musician would do when they make a sick transition.

  • @CinematicLaboratory
    @CinematicLaboratory 3 года назад +28

    It's not just the case and the gear. Julia has this great feeling for endless grooves that just never get boring.

  • @Psionetics
    @Psionetics 3 года назад +8

    Aha! She starts from a previously composed arrangement, but around the halfway point enters "jam" territory. Very sensible approach to a live performance! Thanks

      I'm not sure I'd call a ~$10K modular set up "minimal", but it's certainly compact at least.

    Thank you very much Ziv for having Julia as a guest on your channel and for giving her the opportunity to talk about her live and studio set up, her creative workflow and tips for performing live. It was great to see Julia so passionate about using modular synthesizers and make the best out of the Endorphines modules. It convinced me to explore further the modules that she is using and maybe purchase some of them to compliment my setup. Keep up the great work!

    Look at all those freaking cables.. I thought my minibrute2s was complex with 8 cables punched.. this is someone who has seriously studied and mastered sound design. There’s not too many chicks that I know that are masters of modular.. from one female to another.. my hats.. no.. I’m bowing.

    • @hermask815
      @hermask815 3 года назад

      But how many of these cables are actually performing a purpose?
      I have only fooled around with modular synths in software.
      When I was finished, I pulled some of the virtual cables and the sound didn’t change.the ones that changed I put back, obviously.
      If cables are used to change the flow of sequences…. I’m mentally too lazy for that.Then I’d rather use anything with a piano roll or something along the lines of a keystep.
