Tech Talk: BLUSH_RESPONSE (Electronic Beats TV)

Joining our Tech Talk series here is Blush Response aka Joey Gonzalez, a Cuban-American sound designer operating in the field of heavy, dark and industrial leaning EBM music coming via imprints such as Adam X’s Sonic Groove, Sacred Court and his own Megastructure_ since 2009. Over the years Gonzalez has put his renowned sound design experience to work for acclaimed manufacturing companies such as Electron, Yamaha and Arturia.
Here we explore Joey’s studio which features a modular system at its core alongside the many other hardware instruments and effects processors he utilises to produce his raw and dynamic sound.

"creating an environment for your brain to live in for a while" so good

I love this dude.

He reaffirms my workflow... not revisiting old stuff and lack of editing...

I am no way the musician he is, but I love it just the same.

[rhythmdroid]

I feel so validated by hearing his workflow. It is really tough to sit down and just edit together a club track with a mouse and screen...I've had hardcore ADHD and I still don't wanna take drugs for it...but it seems like inspiration and capturing a performance are the only ways to get things done! Thanks for sharing with us Mr. Gonzalez!

The cats are just there for acoustic treatment

[Nobody-hcbo]

I'm happy to see that every producer's cat ever just doesn't care about boundaries. "oh sorry are you working on this?"

[Soundwrecker]

A month or so ago I found Joey's channel and he quickly became my favorite synth youtuber. I just dig his approach and sound.

[jdaddyaz]

That's definitely not a pet free studio. Joey living the dream. Keep slaying hombre.

[HenriDeCarvalho]

A long term due video...Joey approach and behavior into the techno scene is pleasant and enjoyable

[tshou]

Having that fluffy white thing walking about on your modular is a good way to introduce some randomness. I have two of them.

[natenubia]

No Limitations here!! Nothing like tangible Hardware I really want to switch back to Hardware because it sounds so much Fatter, Great Gear Great Vid

[Hellseeker]

Yeah man, I’m the same, doing it on the mouse and keyboard my eyes glaze over, I just end up preset surfing, but with Modular it’s physical. Most fun I had ever making music.

[thezenboy]

Future and ancient at the same time. I felt like I was watching scientist creating life in an underground lab. I would sell my soul to hang out in that room for a day.
