DO IT! Live Modular Synth Performance (feat. Shia LaBeouf motivational speech) @obrienmedia

Shia LaBeouf sample comes in at 6:29 but the build up is worth it. Surprisingly, it works really well in the track. If you aren't familiar with Shia LaBeouf's "Just Do It" motivational speech you'll find it below. No one knows if it's for real, he's "crazy", or if he's pulling an Andy Kaufman.

"This live modular synth performance is the set I put together for Modular On The Spot - a live synth meetup that took place on the banks for the LA River in Los Angeles on December 17, 2015.

The patching breakdown:

The clock source is Intellijel’s Metropolis. Mutable Instruments Clouds was the only module used in the beginning as I played the QuNexus. The main filter throughout the song was MakeNoise’s MMG, filtering both LP and HP.

The low drone bass tones come from The Harvestman’s Hertz Donut. I composed a small choir track in Kontakt and exported as a file to loop on the QuBit Nebulae. Melody being played on the QuNexus is from Braids, with Intellijel’s ADSR generating the envelope.

Bass line sequenced using MakeNoise’s Brains and Pressure Points.

All drums are Hexinverter’s Mutant Bassdrum, HiHats and Clap. Lots of triggering with Delptronibs Triggerman, and a group of 4ms modules: Quad Clock Distributor, Quad Pingable LFP, Rotating Clock Divider, Shuffling Clock Multiplier w/ Breakout.

Noise Engineering’s Basimilus Interitas was the module added to the drums to give it a punchy texture before adding in Shia’s voice.

I used the audio from this YouTube video for Shia’s Motivational Speech, made it into a file as a track in the QuBit Nebulae: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXsQA.... I used Expert Sleepers Disting for the delay on his voice.

Sequencing track during Shia’s voice was done by MakeNoise’s Rene and the sound source was Noise Engineering’s Loquelic Iteritas.

The rhythmic noise cluster during the second half of the track involves Mutable Instruments Warps and Braids, ALM’s Dinky’s Taiko, QuBit’s EON, bass tone from the Hertz Donut then morphed it into a ducking compression with Audio Damage’s Kompressor.

All sounds mixed out through Sputnik Modular’s 6-Channel Stereo Mixer, send in stereo to Ableton Live for master file creation for YouTube, SoundCloud, Facebook and Instagram.

I recorded with video with a GoPro Hero 4 then manually synced the video with the audio in iMovie.

All modules were inside a 12U Gemini 0104 case from Monorocket."
