FLUX + COSMOS + TERRA (SOMA Labs)

[strawmanhat]

Soma is the most creative instrument manufacturer of our day. Always unique, always special, always playable. Thanks Vlad.

Glorious! Your innovation and commitment to providing new tools to Sound Sculptures, Musicians, and Artists is a beautiful promise for today and the future. Best in Music!

Vlad Kreimer is the Gurdjieff and/or Ouspensky of electronic music. Romantic engineering indeed, these three out of the box into non-dual heaven machines are the spontaneous sweet spot between mind, intuition, emotion, mysticism, shamanism, science and creativity, love, fun and awe. SOMA is the secret potion, the shapeshifter of vibration. A league of its own.

Disclaimer: the above might sound a tad vague and pretentious, but I guess it will resonate with anyone exploring these wonderful tools. I truly enjoy all my SOMA instruments, that keep on teasing me into the deep spiritual layers of sound and vibration.

That's the most astonishing vocal synthesis I have ever heard. I guess it's in the controller.

I think Vlad Kreimer is the Nikolai Tesla of synths of our time, genius!!!🙏

I just received my Terra and Cosmos. They are incredible. Now I need a Flux after watching this incredible video…

[Vingul]

Whoa.. at the beginning I was thinking "this just sounds like a theremin from the 1930s" but that's quite amazing.

[electricdawn]

Unbelievable. Very beautiful. Lot's of skill and perfect melodic understanding from you (I assume that was you, Vlad). I just love what you can do with SOMA stuff.

[robst]

That pitch-controlled male voice is amazing. It startled me when it first came in. For a second, I thought an opera singer (yes, a real human) had entered your studio and joined the jam.
Vlad is truly a revolutionary leader (without hammer and sickle ).

[madebythebird]

There it is! I've been waiting for something Flux to truly tickle my musical pumbelanium. Now i'm in love.

[JoeAliberti]

In absolute awe at what these instruments (and musicians!) can do.

I got the Cosmos a few weeks back. It's been a long time since I got new gear and lost myself in it for 3 hours without realizing the time had passed. I'm looking forward to more videos and performances while I practice with what I have and save money for more SOMA instruments!

[zmickeylangelo]

This thing with singing voice sounds creepy and dystopian by design.
Wide eyes shut OST vibes.

[ThePedalboardOrchestra]

Soma instruments are just extraordinary innovative and thinking out of the box. 🙌👏👏👏👏

[thoughtscores]

This sounds stunning. Evolving and organic feeling. The Flux looks to offer a lot of expression.

[SuperOssi]

the philosophy behind vlad's instruments is just wonderful.we are not devices or machines.we can act like that but that is not our nature.soma gives you back something that is lost or covered up in this world full of computers.thank you vlad. one day i will hopefully be able to buy 1-2 devices and until then there will be natursounds and ambient and of course oldskool tekkno :D

[pjforde]

Vlad, a small request: it would be really helpful if you identified which COSMOS firmware that you're using in any given performance. For those of us who are learning these instruments, it is helpful if we know what we're hearing.

This reminds of when I bought a continuum keyboard, for full price from their website. It came with masking tape on the back of it with sharpy that said "SCRATCHES". (it did have some scratches) He offered me a refund, but I said he could just send me a new case that wasn't scratched and I'd put it on. It's been years of me reminding him, and he says oh yeah "Im old, I cant remember anything", and then "oh sorry all the cases in this batch have scratches again." Then he forgets about me again. I've given up but at least I have a silly story about the dangers of boutique music startups.

It's nice that SOMA has young strapping lads and makes awesome instruments for great prices.

[NathanielEllis-wk]

ya thats something new!!! lets year it shred some monophonic synth. it would be so ez to blaze with that.

[Tripwelleverday]

I don’t like ambient usually but this is epic af 🤩 wow
