video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the UDO session on the DivKid Discussions stage from Machina Bristronica 2025. Cuckoo had spend some time with UDO and joined George and I for the chat discussing the new DMNO. DMNO is a binaural, multitimbral, polyphonic synthesiser that's far more raw and chaotic with lots of studio utility compared to the other UDO instruments. It's always a pleasure to chat to George and see hm play his instruments so enjoy the conversation! Talking points are in the chapter marks below."
