The Art Of Production: Floating Points - Buchla system

Floating Points unpacks the sprawling Buchla system powering both his solo live shows and his new album, Crush.

How can one guy be this good and have such an understanding of electronic music/production AND also complete a PhD in neuroscience?! How are some people so productive at such a high level?!

[patricebaumel]

Max Cooper is another one of these wizards with a quality degree and a deep understanding of electronic music. A high level ability to think translates well into different fields simultaneously.

*makes a fucking insane patch*
"It's a complete mess, I'm getting there."
Ok

This dude is awesome. I think he did a good job of explaining how it works at a base level while still being able to add in some more complex concepts.

much respect to u floating points. and thanks for swinging by cosmic slop whenever ur about north

[freshney]

Love this guy, no bullshit just pure dedication to going as deep as physically possible.

Interesting, raw sounds he's harnessing. Now I really want to hear a full track in which he's playing this.

I’ve only seen Sam DJ which was amazing, but this would be on another level. That setup is nuts, banana jacks everywhere!

4:08 that impromptu noise and the reaction to it are wonderful

It'll take 2 hours to describe? Lemme have a piss, and get a snack. lets do this. Buchla is insanely quirky and unique!

[Buur]

I understood about 15 sentences. Nice.

[maticherzog]

now thats is what it means to understand the synthesis :)

[stationstation]

I knew you were using Buchla the moment someone turned me on to Karakul from CRUSH. Hits hard.

In other news... Local man is confused, dies in horrible pile of wires. After the break, we'll have Tom with the weather.

the eurorack part felt like i was watching willy wonka make an everlasting gobstopper

[prototek]

Great to see new artists embracing Buchla stuff!

[brandonhollis]

That was sick! I've always loved buchla since I was a kid and this was very enjoyable to watch. Electronic music is so cool. Utilizing all the tools you have to create ur own sound is so very unique. Rock and roll of the future💀

[ndubb]

'We'd need to talk for about 2 hours...' yes please!

[AntonioSilva-lddq]

pretty good explanation. love the sounds you achieve. good work

[andrewhaas]

I'll listen to you talk about Buchla all day! Also, anyone got any info on those 8u cases he's using?
