Resilience Live Set : How I Patch My System For Improvising Live Techno

Here's the link to the Resilience live set :    • Résilience invite dc11   If you haven't watched it yet, it makes sense to watch it first. Maybe. I though it would be interesting to break down the process of building the Resilience live set with my modular and the Alphabase. I set out to do it fully improvised. I've toyed with the idea of using some samples but it's just not how I wanted to do things, and the little I've tried felt more complicated than necessary without giving me much leeway really. I've built my system towards improvisation, so why deviate from the goal at the last minute. In a way, improvising is simpler, and freeing; you don't have to stick to anything, you're making things up as you go. Thats also the biggest downside : what if nothing good comes out ? That's where having a strong basis like the Alphabase comes into play. I did not program all the drums on the fly, but had a fairly complete pattern ready to go with three different kits to tweak; enough to take a few seconds to breathe and find something new on the modular. I played the system a lot the weeks coming up to the recording date trying to find a patch simple yet flexible enough, forcing myself to continue when I felt I was out of ideas after 30min etc... It's good training and also... I don't believe there's any other way. Building "presets" in your head, having rough ideas of what can work and what doesn't, rough ideas of the different moods and energy levels you want to reach etc... Anyway... I hope you'll find this interesting and I hope you enjoyed the Resilience video. I sure loved doing it even if it was a bit stressful at times, and I am very proud of the result. The team did a fantastic work and that's an honour to be featured in such a nice looking video. 0:14 - Alphabase 16:00 - Syncing the drum machine to the modular 17:49 - Modular 27:47 - Mini live set with explanations 41:12 - Conclusion THOMANN AFFILIATE LINK : https://thmn.to/thocf/oekswnlsl7 PERFECT CIRCUIT AFFILIATE LINK : Alphabase : https://tinyurl.com/5a9bsr6p El Capistan : https://tinyurl.com/4asbfvje Eventide Space : https://tinyurl.com/mr2tb652 Verbos : https://tinyurl.com/3ejns9wn MY MUSIC: https://unknownmovements.bandcamp.com...
