Burning Blue | Eurorack Jam | Vhikk X | Oxi One MkII | Solar 42 | Subsequent 37 | Arturia Polybrute

This is an impromptu studio performance of a piece I’m calling Burning Blue — a meditation on sound, color, and the quiet overlap between painting and electronic music. Making music has become an extension of my painting practice, and this piece lives squarely in that shared space, where texture, time, and presence unfold slowly. The performance was recorded live in my studio with a largely DAW-less setup, capturing evolving tones and gestures as they happened. Vhikk X and the 4ms Ensemble form the foundational textures, while deeper harmonic weight and pulse come from the Moog Minitaur and Intellijel Atlantix. Sequencing duties are handled by the OXI One MkII, with the Push 3 acting as a MIDI controller for the Waldorf Iridium. A touch of Zen Delay adds grit and movement, while lush spatial depth comes from the Meris Mercury X. One of the Solar 42F’s effects cards provides delay, reinforcing the sense of slow motion and drift. Everything was recorded directly from the main outputs into Ableton, with no edits or post-processing beyond capture and a simple mastering chain. The title Burning Blue connects this performance to a recent painting of the same name — a large-scale oil work inspired by the rare natural phenomenon often referred to as blue lava. In certain volcanic events, sulphuric gases ignite and burn with an eerie electric blue flame, visible only at night. It’s a quiet, otherworldly fire that defies expectation, existing somewhere between science and mystery. That tension — between what we know and what we feel — is where the sublime often reveals itself. The painting Burning Blue measures 72 × 60 inches, oil on stretched canvas, and is available through Costello Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona. In both sound and surface, this work reflects an ongoing interest in scale: vast natural forces mirrored by intimate, almost invisible movements — electrons flowing through circuits, pigment settling into wax and oil. Oil & Oscillators is a creative project by artist & composer John Swincinski — where abstract painting meets analog sound. John is a nationally recognized abstract artist working in oil paint. This channel is where abstract painting meets analog sound, and studio life unfolds in color, tone, and texture. Here, he documents his multidisciplinary practice rooted in presence, experimentation, and atmosphere. From oil painting to modular synthesis, field recordings, and ambient composition, each piece is an exploration of texture, time, and environment. Inspired by the sublime within the wilderness, and the electricity of creative curiosity — Oil & Oscillators invites you into a studio world where surface and sound evolve together. Art, sound, process, and place. A slow practice in motion. 🎨 See more of my visual art: SwincinskiArt.com 🔔 Subscribe for more ambient art-sound explorations 00:00 Introduction 01:02 Gear Tour 06:24 Burning Blue - title explanation 07:13 Burning Blue - the painting 08:04 Outro Patch Notes / Gear Time Forge Vhikk X 4ms Ensemble Archaea Loki Erica Synths Black Stereo Delay 2 Moog Minitaur Intellijel Atlantix After Later Audio Popple Elta Solar 42F Waldorf Iridium OXI One MkII Ableton Push 3 Zen Delay Meris Mercury X Recorded directly into Ableton 12 via my Presonus 24r Video shot with an Insta360 X5 in a single take.
