XLR8R 'Studio Essentials' - Varg

Seen Varg live myself. Used the energiser, eventide space, analog rytm, an Roland SP 404 (i think) and the rest I can't remember.

Wasn't overly enamored by that article but loved his Nordic Flora EP

Seems pretty normal to me honestly. I always have tools mixed between gear unless I go out of my way to straighten up.

I think some of you are missing the point with Varg. He's pretty antagonistic but very honest. He's always sort of taking the piss, he took over RA's instagram which was pretty funny, drinking bottles of champagne and wearing designer clothing as a sort of piss take it seems, in the sense that the techno community takes shit too seriously, he's always poking fun at it.

All that aside he makes great noise, which is the bottom line.

Typical millenial post modern hipster irony. Very droll, and oh so hilarious........

Hey look, I`m drinking champagne ironically.
Oh look I`m wearing Prada.....ironically.

These people need to die slowly in a vat of offal.

But yeah, the music is ok.

I can understand why you'd have that opinion of him, in fact I would presume he expects it.

That`s even worse...

"I`m being ironic to be ironic, look everybody I`m META ironic.....so post post modern."

Jesus.
This place was free of these kind of idiotic fanboy articles of spurious hypy bullshit, who brought it here in the first place?

There was this whole thing where he was posing on the RA instagram with a Gucci hat and then some people started hating on him. Then he made this whole pissed off post hating on "fat rich old dudes" and "trust fund kids" buying expensive modular synths and how he's so above that he's just gonna make music on an Ipad. It's like, dude, look at the fucking gear you have, you even have a modular case, you can't BOTH constantly pose with your gear and then feel superior to gear nerds because you sometimes make music on an Ipad. It's the same in this article "oh, I have this super expensive rare synthesizer... but I'm not gonna use and make music on an Ipad like a real hipster". As someone that actually can't afford any gear it's an fucking obnoxious attitude, like shut the fuck up then dude and sell your gear and stop posing with it.

But yeah, I like his music.

I wonder if there's some kind of gear-ipsum generator spitting out paragraphs of non-content. What a pile of junk.
