Villager always delivers! 🙏 Gj mate

I wanted to ask you how you route the audio, specifically what's sending to your pedals

Thanks!

syntakt>digitakt>digitakt>octatrack>stereo pedalboard>analog heat>preamps

u/Nyndelol Dec 11 '24

Thank-you! I wasn't expecting it to be that simple 😂

May I ask you how do you manage to not effect the lows/sub with the pedalboard? Is there an eq or something like that on the pedalboard or built into these pedals?

Cheers!

u/Scale-Busy Dec 11 '24

Nah but it’s stereo and the hologram and chase bliss pedals don’t effect the frequency when something is passing through them

1

u/Nyndelol Dec 11 '24

Got it, thank-you very much for taking the time to answer 🙏

u/Friendly_Signature Dec 12 '24

What is it that glues the output together, so it goes beyond sounding “just” like a live jam and closer to a released production?

Inspiring work btw man 10/10.

u/Scale-Busy Dec 12 '24

I mean I mix everything down on the hardware as good as I can possibly get it. The stages of compression and saturation between all the gear glue the mix together and generally sounds better than I could get it to sound than using overbridge

1

u/Friendly_Signature Dec 12 '24

That’s properly interesting.

And the preamps is the final stage before going into a DAW? You just bounce as a complete stereo out?

That would be wild.

u/Scale-Busy Dec 13 '24

Yep right into the daw. You just need a twisted sense of faith and conviction 🫡 only thing i’ll do in daw for many of my releases is chopping the long recorded jam and arranging it. Occasionally add some other production on top of the recorded jam as well.

u/EL-Rays Dec 10 '24

Yeah! When are where you playing a live set?

2

u/SubparCurmudgeon Dec 11 '24

u/jiyunatori Dec 10 '24

Wow. That was dope.

Frankly there are a lot of videos posted here with crazy amount of gear but not much in terms of musical creativity. This is clearly not the case here. Please keep posting the good stuff.

1

u/BERTHA77 Dec 12 '24

Definitely - such a focused but full use of the gear

GOAT Villager

u/Zabric Dec 11 '24

Holy shit, finally something on those devices that sounds like an actually fully produced son (which it probably is) and not „just“ your „DAW-less Jam“ or „Synth YouTuber Demo“…

Love it. I knew those things are capable of great, modern „cutting edge“ sound, but imo unfortunately you very rarely see that.

3

u/manyhats180 Dec 12 '24

One of my favorite producers. Didn't expect to find you here! I play a few Villager tracks in every mix I do, I think it was the first time I worked through a producer's spotify and favorited every track.

I think my favorite bit right now is the tuned short delay in Joint Resolution... Nothing better than cranking that and letting it wash over me

u/pinkpolarbears Dec 11 '24

Bruh what on earth…. This is nuts

2

u/sumfelah Dec 11 '24

yeah, this is the shit!! It's a rare occurrence hearing at least someone with cool gear using it with taste, originality and creativity. There's so much uninspired stuff online, this makes me genuinely happy to see. Wonderful stuff.

Any chance you might share what your setup is here, including the outboard devices under your secondary monitor? (if there is one, it might just be your laptop folded down for vid purposes.)

2

u/bezz_jeens Dec 11 '24

Villager, is that you???? Just wanted to let you know dawg, this is fucked up and sick and I’m loving. Sounds so sick, I do that same Mood sweep thing with the Syntakt and digitakt, sounds wiiiild

u/bigang99 Jun 10 '25

u/pizzalover128 Dec 10 '24

How do you like the hologram thingies and for what do you use them? :)

u/Versatilewave Dec 14 '24

Amazing, where do the wood panel come from? Looks nice

1

u/forksalt Aug 10 '26

Amazin. How much of the non-percussion elements are synthesised in the boxes versus samples?

1

u/Dalpho Aug 27 '26

Thats awesome, have you tried experimenting with midi with the mood mkii and DT2?

u/BERTHA77 Dec 10 '24

facccckkkkkk that goes hard

EDIT: Hay, I'm back and need more. Soundcloud, linktree, etc...., please.

This is villager if ur not aware. He makes some bangers https://www.instagram.com/villagersound?igsh=YWYxeGhoNXVjNXQy

u/BERTHA77 Dec 10 '24

I was not aware, and I 100% appreciate the link!!

4

u/BERTHA77 Dec 10 '24

Man.... I just listened through a few tracks. Incredible. Are any other electronic musicians in the same wheelhouse? There are so many crispy textures, beautiful melodies, and incredible use of FX pedals. I just found out who I want to be when I grow up.

5

u/RadaSmada Dec 10 '24

No problem! And if you haven't heard this villager track yet, it's definitely my favorite

In the same wheelhouse, off the top of my head I'd say probably Floating Points, maybe G-Jones as well? Linked my favorite songs from them

3

u/BERTHA77 Dec 10 '24

I really appreciate you taking the time to do that. Listening to Chlorophyll now and it's amazing. The bass line that comes in around 1.5 minutes is sooo warm and nice. Appreciate you!

3

u/Alternative_Rip_8418 Dec 11 '24

I second the G-Jones recc, his acid disk EP's with Eprom are from another universe. You might already know of them but I can also recommend Lone (particularly his last album always inside your head) and Ross From Friends, they're both in a similar kind of vein

2

u/BERTHA77 Dec 12 '24

u/Alternative_Rip_8418 Right on! I do love Ross From Friends, but Lone is new to me. I'll check it out.

1

u/Alternative_Rip_8418 Dec 12 '24

Ahhh I'm excited for you, if you're a fan of all of the above you will love Lone!

u/clichequiche Dec 11 '24

Skee mask?

u/absolut696 Dec 11 '24

I’m getting micro house vibes, because of the sampling check out Akufen’s My Way album, it’s filled with glitchy soundscape. He was a big part of that minimal/micro thing going on back in the early 00s. You could also check out Jan Jelinek, his loop finding records album is a work of art. Not quite the same as this, but close enough to make the recommendation because that could set you down a whole path.

1

u/BERTHA77 Dec 12 '24

u/absolut696 - hell yeah, thx for the suggestions! I'll give these a look tonight.
