Watch my midlife crisis flourish in turning surreal, dangerous, and remote places into generative melodic synthesizer patches. Yes, the music you hear in these places is all the Euroburo output into a portable recorder! (unless you see other modules being used in the shot)
The Euroburo is now available to order from Empress or your favorite music gear dealer: empresseffects...
Naturally, you can help make insane videos like this possible by becoming a Patreon member for a little as $1. www.patreon.com/bennjordan.
Camera work: Benn Jordan and Michaela Bailey of Akimbo Studios.
Special thanks: Perfect Circuit, U.S. National Park Service, Blackmagic Design, Dehancer, Kate Hilger, and the total of 7 people we encountered who also wore a mask.

This is by far one of the most underrated channels in the entire music KZfaq space, absolutely beautiful video all around and worth every penny of a Patreon pledge

You make me feel so discomforted by the people who are getting a ton of attention in music right now, when you’re out here making an awesome (and for once I mean that word in it’s truest sense) generative patch in Death Valley for a KZfaq video. You deliver more than could ever be expected very regularly. I’m glad to support your patreon, it’s such a simple thing that doesn’t affect me much but has one of the most satisfactory results of all my small investments.

This is way cool as a road movie creating its own soundtrack like a travelog - and I probably will wind up sooner or later with a ZOIA Euroburo, but just got a MOD Dwarf from Moddesign in Berlin, which is a similar thing I am still getting started with... Great video, Benn!

So many beautiful shots! Seriously I was captivated. The one @6:20 really made me notice, watched it twice to make sure I could give equal time to the art and the message. I don't know thing 1 about modular music. I just really like watching you get excited about it and making interesting sounds. The images in this one though, y'all knocked it out of the park. It was beautiful. Please do more of this when you can. Beautiful visuals, over interesting music, over thoughtful observations of the art, the world, and the self. ::Chef's kiss::

Both the music and the videography are absolutely stunning. Taking small music devices (ok, toys) like my ZOIA out into the world with me is one of my most favorite things to do so I really enjoyed this. And now that I have seen this I no longer want a second ZOIA pedal. I want a ZOIA Euroburo instead. Oh, the possibilities . . .

@secretivesounds 2 жыл бұрын

This was an incredible video, the camera work and music were both absolutely stunning. Huge props to you and everyone involved for pulling off something so ambitious. However, I think if you are planning to turn this into a series, I would want the subsequent videos to be longer. 15 minutes just doesn't feel like enough time to fully take in the landscapes and allow the generative patches to breathe
