Someone In The Crowd Requested Blur Song 2 On Modular Synth haha
A bit more footage from the tour! this was Tourcoing again! unfortunately the camera we used on stage got nicked half way through the tour and we lost a few nights of footage because i didnt back it up for a couple of days. but i have a lot of the audio! and currently compiling and putting the audio only of various parts of performances onto patreon.
Download the Live WAV of this and others here :- / some-more-live-102450353

Patreon is a massive enable to making videos, the larger DIY projects would be a lot more strung out without it! so i cant thank my supporters enough.
It Also keeps the lights on at @THISMUSEUMISNOTOBSOLETE where you can come and play this synth!

** im surprised how many people think this was pre planned haha, especially coming from musicians, it is a simple song even if you have heard it a couple of times your brain can retain most of the lyrics and the simple riff, if you are a musician and cant figure out the notes to that riff in your head, id recommend practicing more!!!. it would take wayy more effort for me to plan it, plant some people in the crowd and then orchestrate it lol. **a bit of reference. at every show i ask for songs to play from the audience. half the time its too complicated to figure out straight away, but after a handful of suggestions there is a song i remember ish and we try to tackle playing it. it doesnt always work! but thats the whole thing. just giving it a go. Song order in the video :- Blur song 2 Desperado Vespa Waiting For The World To End Night Or Day
you rule mate
That really was one of the most fun parts of the show. We really had a great evening and we sorta look at the option of taking a holiday across the channel and visit the museum next year, maybe.
How many people request gorillas😅
I'd keep that fantastic Blur riff and then go into your world like you do, that is so good. In my imagination, I hear a line going AA GGGG EDEE (woohoo). I also imagine a kids choir in the style of Jet Set Radio on the Sega Dreamcast. You've got something there, definitely. It's Song 2 revisited by Look Mum No Computer.
Where do I see you live?
I like how he looks like he is some technician working on an industrial machine
Haha he is
the jumpsuit is too good
Just regular day at work
Watch a movie called "Young Einstein", it reminds of his style.
He is! 😀
"bro, feel the bass?" "🫨 dude! I can SEE the bass!"
😂. Yeah🫨 for sho🫨
my first thought seeing the vision getting BLURry ;) :D sry, I'll see myself out
Thick and heavy. As it should be.
I've never heard of this guy but this goes so f****** hard. God damn
You literally can
This is what I Imagine when someone says "Industrial Synthwave"
Depeche Mode
Straight up electro
This is how people in the 90's saw the 2000's
Gd I miss those times.
wrong way round mate
And now we see it that way again 30 years later. Just a little bit differently, I would imagine.
Hero comment
Dude just spontaneously did a cover live on stage. What a legend.
Check BeardyMan . He makes live covers of requests from audience. One person gives title, second genre third style etc. He is genius. LMNC is also awesome!
Need to check the dictionary for definition of legend
This was Berlin show. He did quite a few covers live on the stage, from suggestions of the public. If you have the chance, go to his concerts, they are really great and fun!
You saw how it easy it was, as well, yeah?
cause that's what musician [guitar/synth heroes] do. *points*
Better crowd than Blur had at Coachella. Nice job Sam!
😅😂😂😅
Right? Still feel sorry for the folks stuck seeing Grimes instead of this.
I think he could absolutely kick ass at Coachella on one of the side stages. I'm not normally into electronic music, but this is being done live and is absolutely filthy.
@@lexp6099Nah. People got what they deserved at the Grimes set. Pretentious little art school goblin
What's tempo and math?
*When the sound technician is left alone to test the sound system:*
heavy synths, blown out vocals *chefs kiss*
Succinct. Beautiful. :D
😘👌
this dude is actually doing what people think DJ's are doing. Edit: DJ's are the gym teachers of music. You couldn't teach but you still wanted to play with the kids. If you enjoy DJ'ing or DJ's thats alright, but please please stop being so butthurt about somebody knowing how useless your profession is. No DJ's Don't do exactly this at home then bring it to the stage, Most DJ's are huge wastes of Space, anything past a DJ, aka somebody that makes music, we call them musicians, not DJ's. It's so sad to see you guys trying to protect DJ'ing like its an art and not just a skill. Yes DJ shit can be hard to do, but that does not mean that it has anything to do with being a musician. If your job is to clean the gum off the sidewalk on the Golden gate bridge, would you really compare yourself to the fella that built it? DJ's SHHH
lmao rs
No one thinks DJs are really doing anything. He's doing what DJs hope it loos like they're doing.
Without DJs you would never have your favourite songs. I am not DJ.
@@lysy-zn2gg depends ... some create sets which are not out of this world others only hit play
@@ls2011schorsch do do do do do do
I'm a light guy, I do stage lighting. The guy who's working this has a really good feel for it. Well done mr light guy.
Every time I go to a deathcore concert I am genuinely confused as to how the hell you guys manage to keep up lol
@@KhreamedKhorneEither be acquainted with the music or get a feeling for where the bridge chorus and energy is supposed to lie based off crowd interaction.
mvp
Yeah same. It’s a small but mighty rig. My favorite
I was thinking the same. Busking as a house LD is an art of its own, but live improv really cranks the difficulty up.
The confluence of musician, artist, and engineer. Love it.
He is *The Martgineer*
I came here for Song 2 but stayed for the absurd quality of the music this guy produces, how i never knew about this channel before???
Look up youth8500...its my fav from him
Funny, I've been following him for years and watching his stuff but first time actually hearing his music XD I love it
Holy balls this just blew my mind
"ok guys, i'm done sound balance seems good, the artist can come and play now"
lmao
Would be a great skit for an opening band 😂
Oh dang I commented basically the same thing 😅
the bass-induced camera shake is just perfect
analog effect, of course
@@KundoKun easy to do in post, seen it on other content before. You can map adobe premiere/after effects effects to sound
I was going to say he should get a better stabilized camera setup, but after reading your comment, I agree it’s just perfect as is!
@@triptheroad Looking at the 7-segment LED display on the top left of the machine, it looks to me like the shaking is in-camera.
@@triptheroad you ever been on a stage with big subs? I've had pints of beer migrate 3 feet across a table from the bass rattle. Also some PAs nearly fall over from people moshing too hard but that's a little different.
This is literally how Albarn started the Gorillaz. Ghost Train was the first song he made under that name and it vibes hard.
As many raves I have been to throughout the 90s and early 2000s I have never seen a set up like that. Amazing.
Well yeah analogue synth stuff isn’t usually made for dancing tbh, it’s usually super weird and experimental noise music. The artist Caribou used to do shows where he made analogue synth sounds and layered them and shit… def more on the weird end of the spectrum.
@@krusher181 well I guess that's why. LOL. To me it's always just sounds mixed together to make music. But I think it sounds good regardless. Maybe I'm weird but I always loved this kind of stuff.
You can see some smaller versions in techno; can't remember if it was blawan or ansome who was doing modsynth sets.
There were no raves in the 2000s. Once they left the illegal warehousees of the night and ventured into stadiums and the daylight, raving died.
Yes there were. Went to one of the last huge raves in St.Louis. It was in two huge hangers. One was called red pill and the other was called blue pill. Ended up being know as the Matrix rave. I am 40 years old. I graduated in 2002 and that rave was in 2004. So don't tell me something I know. I even went to candy rave 2000 and it got shut down after 5 hours. So yes their was raves in early 2000s. After 2004 people tried to get raves going in all different city's. They would get shut down before they even got set up or got shut down as it got started. After that they turned into drug party's at closed down bowling alleys, skating rinks, etc. Then they tried legal "raves" that I would not consider raves. Happen during day time at huge Venus. They did good drug searches, Had police as security. I know what I'm talking about.
sometimes i forget that he's also just a really good musician
Too many skills to keep track of😂
... and a good singer, wtf!
He is an artist, a musician. I was blown away by the amount of skills he has.
Not to forgot he actually built his beast 9f a synth 😅
@@elecsoul8309 invented the entire Kosmo modular format even, then shared it to the masses at that!
i love how the camera is vibing with the song and it's al blurrrrrry
same 😆
Exacly 🥰
normal people would try to decouple it....but fu i like it too!!!
Saw Dune pt2 in 70mm IMAX and the bass was doing the same to the screen/projector. It was wild.
I got goosebumps and a whirl down my back, with the following drop! What a giga chad !
This man is giving us the future. When people imagined what the future would look like in the mid 1900s, it was this. A single man using a machine he built and designed to sound like an entire band playing electronic music.
It’s like I’m watching an 80s phone technician discovering he can be the mad scientist of music, instant sub
the industrial technician aesthetic of the performance (not just the jumpsuit, but the way that goes perfectly with the managing of the synth rack) is so cool, and really contextualizes music production in an really interesting way.
kinda what I thought :D
Also makes a headset mic cool in context. The visual of an auto or aircraft engineer or mechanic combined with an audio engineer.
I always feel like he's operating a submarine or something
A very good explanation for why it mesmerizes me so much. So visually infra-familiar and still sensory ultra-wild at the same time.
Devo vibes
That's insane amounts of multitasking, especially concentrating on the singing in pitch while you work out the rest in real time! Beardyman would be proud.
Yeah, and man, beside his awesome ability to use his equipment to make this awesome music, he is just a great vocalist. I`m truly blown away.
Not to mention it’s all in the dark!! Have to have every socket slider and dial memorized 😵💫
@@MrSlaughtematic Not entirely dark, just stage lighting.
"The photocopier is working better than ever boss"
Song 2 is like the Seven Nation Army of its time. No matter where you go, who you meet, or how much musical talent anyone might have - some riffs are so intuitive, it’s as though humans are just born knowing how to chant along to them. So simple, they’re actually genius.
Not really. Seven Nation has become folk music, used around the world in football stadiums going way beyond it's origin. Song 2 doesn't even have a riff, just chords and Woo Hoo. Never heard that on the terrace.
@@RJ1J a riff can consist of chords, single notes, or both. Song 2 was in every arena & stadium on the planet before Seven Nation Army was released - which is why I said “of its time”.
We are in 2024 and Sam is still so UNDERRATED. I don’t understand this world era. This guy should have been already a huge monster worldwide superstar SINCE YEARS… So talented fuck
Underrated means that he's better than people think he is. That doesn't apply to him, because nearly everyone who sees him recognizes his talent. He's not well known outside of his niche, but that's true of almost every musician. To break into the mainstream, you need mass appeal and a big marketing budget, and he has neither.
everything that is loved by the masses goes to the dumpster quickly
@@rlm4471shut up. He means that his channel is underrated not his skill 🤡
@@rlm4471 …yes I think you’re right.
@@sublimexs I agree… It’s still really hard to swallow for me what our world has become when you grew up in the 80s-90s Anyway Thanks guys.
The fact Sam does better with his own made gear than most people do on premium eurorack kinda shows he's the closest thing to the real deal.
Probably because he understand perfectly is gear because he build it from scratch.
He is the real deal.
you can;t be close when you are the real deal
I think the real deal is trying to close in on him, he’s leaving the real deal behind in his dust!
Kinda proves that the main problem with Eurorack is that it's all too small and fiddly.
You know the music is good when the camera is bobbing along to it.
This is what I expect when I think about what a DJ is doing live, but instead it's all on a computer and turn tables. This is a real show. Much more entertaining and engaging for the audience. Not to mention the awesome sound.
Not all djs, some djs play live synths, and do it a lot better than this guy! look at Blawan, Surgeon, Karenn.
@@djcheckmate1ok, but did they design and build their own synths?
Definition of Electropunk... You Sir, are a Legend!
cap
Look up synthpunk legend N8Noface
@@darksharkofficialmate, this guy's as electropunk as it gets, he built all his own kit and runs his own museum dedicated to obscure, obsolete shit.
I love how the camera is near some speaker picking up the bass and shaking to it. As a modular enthusiast, this is hard as hell to pull off live. Top notch.
15:17 is the closest I heard to daft punk being resurrected yet, incredible performance, you really do know your machine on heart
lighting hits synth abomination with mohawk furby on top "ITS ALIVE!"
I was thinking this as well, this has some serious Daft Punk ALIVE vibes
The fact he built this entire synth from scratch, and also the fact he basically invented the Kosmo modular format and dispersed all the technical data on it for free for the wider world is why Sam will always be one of my favorite musicians and engineers, probably forever.
You have grown in confidence and facility as a performer remarkably over the years. You're getting more expressive, particularly, as a vocalist, which seems to have everything to do with confidence. Your keyboard playing has also improved, just from playing over time. Plus, you have developed so much as an electronics producer. Youth is a wonderful thing. Watching you mature is a great pleasure. Our boy is so grown up, it's lovely!
Aww thanks dad
Now he needs some good songs. Got the sound and arrangements nailed. Lyrics and tunes not there yet, a few good bass lines, but there is a reason he hasn't blown up despite being around for a decade or more. Also, live performance is nothing like the records, which just sound flat. But I agree, he is finally sounding professional Will get lots of support gigs now.
No love for a $20 tip. Rough
@@madrx2 I did that in a moment of inspiration, not to get any love, when I happened to have the money. The mechanism he uses for this is Patreon, but, as I said, it was an impulse purchase. The love goes outward. What comes back is not assumed - or you lose your mind always looking for responses, reassurances, and confirmations. Sam's a good kid, gets a lot of comments, and was touring and otherwise working. No biggie if he doesn't leave a heart or some such thing.
When the bass started blurring the camera, that's when I felt I was actually there 🥰
have to listen again with a proper woofer, not airpod bed‘ish 🔊
God damn, this is badass. I love the fact that everything you're doing has a purpose but I can't follow 90% of it. Also you have a weirdly perfect voice for Blur songs.
I said it elsewhere, but he’s got that punky rasp that really suits grungier stuff so well.
Thank you algorithms of YT for bringing me here. Dude, you fucking rock!
yea bro I play an instrument that has over 1000 buttons and dials and I know exactly what they all do. Freaking amazing. Been watching for years.
"Home made btw"
Great version of Song 2! That definately needs a revisit.
Would love to hear a studio cover of it.
Fully agreed
Bet!
He is the computer.
Bingo
Bro that Blur when the bass kicks !! !! !! Living Legend !
I have never seen this man perform live before and I'm absolutely blown away. Phenomenal work. Ill definitely be making an effort to catch a show some day.
Absolutely worth it! I was at a show in Prague two weeks ago and it was one of the best concerts I've ever visited. It's exactly like the videos, with all the mistakes, which add his music the character. He's a great performer!
I feel like such a idiot for missing his shows
I absolutely love all the interaction, the mistakes (I feel bad saying they’re mistakes as that’s an element that I think is so incredibly engaging) He’s one of our people, if I was a musician I’d like to be like Sam, what a talent!!
After that blur cover I NEED MORE HEAVY AND INTENSE COVERS!!Pure talent right there
Amen. His voice has a great rattle to it that suits a punk and alt style so well. Sounds like Joe Talbot. Song 2 absolutely needs a recover. So fucking sweet.
Man, i don't even know what this, i don't know the context, this just got recommended to me and i am NOT disappointed! This is fantastic!
I know it would be a nightmare shipping your synths overseas but God I hope you make it to the US some day. Been watching you for years and you deserve wayyyy more recognition. So much talent and skill on display here.
How is this so clean? I'm as far from an electronic music fan as it gets, but this is amazing. It's raw, it slaps.
Maybe you are and dont know it yet 😮
"You are programmers, not musicians... wait, oh shit..." xD One of the best performances live
Def squashed that vibe. We aint got no roads here!
Bro. Hats off. You'd fill a stadium anywhere from West Germany to East Hungary...
Indeed
He is actually restraining the machine a bit from taking over 😮
I just listened to all the other versions of Desperado Vespa, and this one is by far the best. The vocal performance is great, perfectly blown out, and sits perfectly in the mix. And the boily synth embellishments pop in this version the most. I love that you tricked me into discorvering the song by playing a Blur cover first. I just eish this exact version was on Spotify so I could add it to my playlist.
The disjointed intro is so cool when it blends into the opening riff. The vocals remind me of Crystal Castles
Honestly if you uploaded all of these songs in the set as live versions to Spotify that would be so tight.

Agreeeed need this live version on spotify
@@brendan4859 spotify robs its artists, torrent with a direct way to donate/pay whatever you want would work better.
LOL @ the condition of the SACRED piece of PAPER. Oh man that thing has been through the ringer!
Fucker was construction paper, now its just tissue paper with a hope and a dream
So glad this was suggested. I just got off surgery two days ago, and this video gave me that first lil head bop to remind me I'm going to survive.
Holy shit am i glad the algorithm finally sent you my way, what an absolute legend!!! I can't wait to binge a ton of this mans content, and hopefully catch some shows live!
Not too sure how I found myself here, but that was freakin' awesome! As a bit of a metal head, you've made me question why there's not more modular synth in metal... There's so much potential there ^^
Agree with you on the fact we need more synth in metal. I love Master Boot Record tracks where they combine synths and guitar (especially in their live recordings), and Mick Gordon did so many great tracks for DOOM OST with synths and downtuned guitar. Huge potential there.
@Kwacker_ you need to check out the KZhead video IGORRR PARPAING and make sure you watch the whole video. Heavy thrash with an insane full modular synth solo toward the end!🤘🎹☠️ kzhead.info/sun/qNaOZa6La3eYYKM/bejne.htmlsi=w_rz_mCO2M9LftbS
Metalhead as well, check out Gunship or Pertubator. There's always classic NIN or Ministry for that realm back in the 90's too.
Ohh no links allowed i guess 😅 Look up for "Igorr" if you dont know them already. Great use of Synth and some of the best Metal in Europa.
kzhead.info/sun/a6Vxo52fr2umeoU/bejne.html I can give you punk with with a semi modular KORG
Needed the crowd to go "wohooo" 😆
just not at Coachella...
WOOHOO!!! (Ya gotta!)
I had no idea you did live shows like this. Absolutely amazing.
Speaking of blur, I appreciate the way the bass is rattling the camera a bit. It adds a very satisfying visual.
‘ I built & designed my own instrument then performed requests live…. woohoo 🥳 it wasn’t easy…but nothing is! Respect ✊
"I'm horrible at keyboard" then nails it. Liked it alot! Would love to see you live somday!

Some DJs do a lot. Shows how much you know about live electronic music
@@krusher181 yeah that’s what they keep telling themselves 🤣
@@villegas24 become a dj then if it's so easy, put you in front of CDJ you'll freak out
@@vinnyfromvenus8188 why would I want a mediocre job like that? Lmao
Very, very few dj's can, or do, sing. I think dj's have it easier than most musicians.
This has the best visual to musical interest ratio I’ve ever seen on a cover
This is such a bold endeavor. I love your "ride it until the wheels come off..... and then come back" live style damn.
This reminded me of a modular synth version of Wintergatan, lol. It's such a tall and massive setup. I love how everything's sounding, it must be super invigorating to jam with this!
Martin is too much of a perfectionist to achieve this level of performance. This is live, loud, out of balance, dirty, and imperfect. But that's its beauty. It's like watching a forest burn majestically.
Wow the knobs he turns actually do something. Never new that, I tought DJ's touch them for good luck.
Everything reminds me so much of Daft Punk, it's absolutely amazing!
Running hardware like this as a live performance will always blow my mind.
i like how camera shakes on bass immersion moments
It's insane that people still do these modular synth covers. I'm so glad these wizards still exist.
What level of sorcery am I witnessing? Amazing! Keep crushing it!
Brings me back to when I was first introduced to daft punk (and techno in general) after watching the new tron. Favorite genre ever since.
Yeah, I was def getting "Daft Punk: Alive 1997" and "2007" vibes.
It’s got a lot of the old techno synth stuff going on yeah. Good to hear younger people like the old EDM shit too.
Respect for the camera that died to bring us this experience
2:50 the way the image is shaking on those LOW sub bass tones made the hair on my arm stand up! I can only imagine how DOPE that must sound IRL... all that AIR moving, beating up against your chest cavity with every strike of the bass note!
I could tell swing was on for the first 2 songs. My expert ear picked up on that.
Desperado Vespa is easily one of my favorites. Looks fucking amazing live.
Blur might be available to open for LMNC on the next tour :)
A geniune polymath of talents, love your content and thanks for sharing a glimpse of your amazing live performance
The stereo effect during the glissando notes in the solo is a chef's kiss on the rest of the performance! 🤌
RIP camera. You are really missed.
I thought lol wtf until 18:00 rip. U gave us life
Generally speaking I feel as if nowadays there's too much madness in the world, but looking at this clip I have to admit that we could use more of *this* kind of madness. This was great :).
This video shows what goes on inside my head all day everyday
You know it’s a good track when the cam vibing too
Your technical and musical talent never ceases to amaze! Watching the camera shake to the bass really helps make it "feel" like we're there in-person! :)
yep, even when you don't have that bass at home, you now it's been there and you get the visual feel
The talent of just making a whole song on stage is CRAZY IMPRESSIVE!!
The camera shaking out of focus gave me shivers for some reason! 😬 So cool! Wish I had the opportunity to experience it live
I love everything about this. The energy, the chaos, the raw sound and of course the excellence. Fantastic. ❤️
This is one of the best things i have seen in a while.
It really is.
camera shake adds SO much!
I loved how the camera progressively shook out of control as you brought the bass part in.
This is my first introduction to you. You are awesome. And you perform the way I would like to perform. Less concerned about perfect execution and more concerned about the rockinness. I respect it. Also you gotta make copies of the paper and leave em everywhere buddy. Sick stuff.
I hope damon sees this! Awesome!!!!! You should release this version its awesome!!!!!!!
He’s too busy at poop 💩 chella
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and was a big fan of Jean Michelle Jarrre at the time so it's great to see something similar take place nowadays.
I went to a (awesome) Soulwax show recently and they had a similar "computer from the future setup"! Def is a similar vibe. Good job!
dude, you're amazing! this is the coolest musical thing I have seen in a minute
Watching you do a love cover like this give me a new perspective on how talented you are.
This is the first video I've ever seen of this dude but I am a fucking fan. Subscribed and about to deeeeeep dive this shit!
I am calling shotgun on this trip. Fuck yeah!
This. Let’s gooooooo
He is really owning his equipment! So cool he easily integrates these switching times to adjust stuff. Very refreshing!
he looks like a plane technician in a bunker alone at midnight making modifications to the air force one
Just fantastic! I am always in awe at how quick and perfect you can adjust and patch everything up whilst performing!
It’s like watching some scifi engine room mechanic givin er all shes got. “It’s all about the vibrations man, once I’m tuned in we’re hittin hyperspace!”
Not only is your technique and control of the instrument amazing, but also you carelessly add incredibly curated and accurate vocals. Seriously, I feel like I'm watching a historical art moment happen real time. True talent ♥ Congrats and kudos from Argentina.
i love how the synths sound so much more heavier than the released versions of the songs
