Now, THAT is nice!!!
Arrrgghhh! Backache
Waiting for the “Modular On A Toilet Bowl Live” one.
So much easier with an iPad đ
iPad is the modular synth you play with for 10 days then abandon cause miRack was cheap. Like most iPad apps and users, itâs like a dating app, if it doesnât wow you every time you use it, you kind of give up or look for another âthe newestâ app. Modular synthesis is a science, and iPad is an entertainment device. Itâs fun but no one is doing the long haul with an iPad.
Or maybe its a highly compact modular, a synth, a DAW, an Office, and an Entertainment centre that is easily portable for catching musical and other ideas on the fly, as well as part of a desktop DAW and/ or a modular setup via IDAM / CV interfaces etc – Each to their own – The musical universe is plenty big enough for us all đ
Ok. Modular is great, but this is getting a little ridiculous. That said, looking forward to…
Modular on an Iceberg
Modular on a Surfboard
Modular in the back of a Police Cruiser
Modular on a Witness Stand
Modular on a Rollercoaster
Modular in the Amazon Jungle
Modular in a Graveyard
And finally, the mind-blowing one… Modular on a Modular
Ridiculous? We actually want to see some of these….
These are 2020âs version of that dork that flew around the world filming himself doing that ridiculous dance in exotic locations. I truly donât get it.
Does anybody watch your videos?
When anyone can create music with Garageband in their bedroom and put it out there, you have to do something creative in order to get people to discover your music. This is how it’s always been, but it’s probably more true now than ever.
Kwas’s videos are creative both musically and visually, which is smart and helps his work stand out from the thousands of people sharing boring jams from their basement.
extreme dawless, ace.
it just sounds more ‘alive’.
nice. but would have loved to hear the waterfall too.
I had exactly the some thoughts when I saw this.
Commercial videography and using drones, usually illegal on public land.
As always, look for primary sources on the Internet for trustworthy information.
It’s generally legal to fly drones in city and state parks. Cities and states can’t regulate flight over their land, because the airspace is regulated by the FAA. They can ban take-off/landing on their land, so it’s good to check local guidelines.
‘Commercial’ rules basically come into play if you’re doing drone videography for hire or as part of your business (like surveying roof damage) – so it would not be relevant here.

Here’s an example of California’s guidelines:

In a nutshell, follow FAA rules and don’t be a douche.
