I think what I appreciate most about these is that we don’t see a perfect workflow. We get to see the stream of consciousness and the outtakes right along with everything else and it’s really uplifting to see the whole creative process and not just the perfect stuff. Thanks, Guy!

Fun fact - the singer from my old band Surfless met Tom Newman (who produced Tubular Bells). He heard our songs and loved them so much he offered to record some for free. His recording studio was on a boat on a mud mooring in Southampton so we would be playing and recording and as the tide went out the boat would gradually tilt over. Recording was halted once the tide was right out and the drum kit started sliding across the floor as the boat settled on the mud at a 45 degree angle 🤣. He was a lovely bloke, but boy could he swear when things didn't go right as he was producing.

😳 It went from zero to Cold Play level epic in short order. Absolutely stunning, beautiful, breathtakingly divine! I’m in desperate need of inspiration for creating intros, everything in between and outros. I have a ridiculous amount of both hardware & software tools including the new Roli Seaboard Rise 2. Yet nothing is happening. Deer in the headlights. But this is so inspirational! Thank you!! 🙏
@bobmason13614 ай бұрын
Hi, how did you get on? And how do you get on with the Seaboard Rise 2. I've just bought one. I'm very impressed. Still looking for favourite sounds I like in Equator 2. The variations on the presets with the macros is amazing. Your 3 Brain video is something I'll give plenty of time to. 👍
@bobmason13614 ай бұрын
I'm not sure if I have much creativity in me. I'll think of a scene or find short video scenes, and use Guy's 'Obstinatos' (he has a video of them). to Score to it. Then build on that in typical Guy style. But without his years of experience. I listen a lot though. There should be something waiting to come out. I get some smooth sounds out of the Roli. 🙂
@bobmason13614 ай бұрын
As for the Roli, I'm super new, though I had a Yamaha CS80 before they became a thing. The rich sound and expressive aftertouch was something I looked for again. I will find two or three sounds and play them well, rather than getting stuck like your 'Deer in the headlights'. I like almost all music from the 11th Century onwards from East to West. But I'm into Ambient or light Simple melodies for the Roli. 'The hot desert winds ripping through the ancient Windcatcher Towers of Yazd, howling as the desert storms approach...'.

From the metal sphere, a new track from Deathcore band Fit For An Autopsy, A Higher Level of Hate, has such an immense, almost tribal drum groove for the first 30 seconds or so, and it IMMEDIATELY lets you know the tone of the song you’re about to listen to.
