  • Here's a cheeky recording of a workshop I delivered at Moogfest - starting with some general electronic music live philosophy (eg: why improvise?) some hard learned general advice on how to improvise and not mess up (too much), then a walkthrough and demo of the Moog Mother-32 and DFAM, exploring how we can use these simple tools to jam in front of an audience, with nothing pre-prepared. And at the end we have a Q&A! Hooray for a Q&A.

    This was absolutely fantastic. I don’t think anyone has ever explained the live improvisation on a synthesiser better than you have. The element of risk, practice makes perfect, the little of bag of tricks, moving slowly... all of it. Just spot on! Thank you so much for sharing

    I've been searching for and storing DFAM videos on ytube since November, and only yesterday this one appeared on my list if suggestions. It's almost as if the "algorithm" prefers to drip feed the viewers rather than disclose all info via searching.

    “Ride the boxes” - put that on a moog shirt now.

    The idea to use the VCO 1 as a tonic, turn the pitch steps down and then send an also tuned VCO 2 to the pitch seq to be adjusted is just absolutely genius! That's a game changer for me to actually make usable melodic sequences that aren't a complete pain to tune, thank you!

    The DFAM is a wild and woolly beast. It’s less playing and more press the button and hang on.I love it

    I think you're my favourite person within synthesis. So inspirational. I always shit my pants playing live.

    I love how you placed these wee representation of the synths in the corners. Very helpful, gives that instant visual feedback, you can just look at it while you talking and you understunding everything you talking about, amazing.

    Nothing was lost in the camera failure. It's all good. My camera failed when I filmed the Anne Annie show, but people told me the b-roll went perfectly with the music. Blessings in disguise! Thank you for the post.

    Finally- I was able to add a DFAM and a Subharmonicon to my Mother 32, I'm very computer music oriented - but I can turn on the Moogs - and LEAVE THE COMPUTER OFF, never saw myself being able to be DAW-less, with 3 Moogs - I can - very nice - very very nice- my tip: SUPER slow tempo on the Subharmonicon

    Thanks for this man! This is exactly what i aspire to do. Im trying to supplement my practice by doing youtube jams, still improvisational and all and this has been very helpful! Ill also agree with one of the other people replying in that two DFAMs are better than one!

    Thanks so much for this; this is top notch content and very inspiring! Although I don't improvise much in my life show, there are still some great principles here as well as some great tips if things start to go wrong.
