YouTube via AbletonInc
"We figured the best people to persuade developers to come to Ableton are our own staff. We interviewed some of our developers and came up with this: a 16 minute movie about working at Ableton. We hope that once you've watched it, you'll want to work here, too."

Ran Kirlian Mystical Veil part II

YouTube via RanKirlian. part 1 here
"Part 2 of 3 live improvisation recordings based on Alesis Ion and Doepfer modular system, also starring Clavia Nordrack 2x. Video combines images from the recording sessions and home takes with lot of effects.

Variation #2 - 19/06/2009: variations based on the same Ion pad and routed effects from the previous part, this time moving the nordrack 2x via midi while playing with a bit of delay. Doepfer enters on minute 1:15, not for sequences but creating a haunting drone that lasts until the end of the track. No post treatment on the audiotrack."
