With its intuitive interface and impressive modular capabilities, Plogue Bidule invites musicians to explore a vast realm of audio and MIDI creation. The software shines with a plethora of pre-built instruments and effects, making it a versatile tool for both live performances and studio work. However, newcomers might find the limited documentation a hurdle, and the setup for automation can feel cumbersome without a dedicated sequencer. Despite these shortcomings, Bidule's affordable pricing and ongoing support from Plogue make it a compelling choice for those eager to experiment in a modular environment.

Philip Glass Ensemble

The Philip Glass Ensemble was founded in 1968 by one of the most influential – and controversial – contemporary composers, Philip Glass. Michael Riesman is the Ensemble’s Musical Director and technological mastermind, and also plays keyboards.

On February 25th 2012, the Ensemble delivered a rare 5 hour long performance of Music in Twelve Parts to celebrate Glass’s 75th anniversary. This musical marathon also marked the first public run of their new live rig based on Bidule. Michael Riesman gracefully shared with us his experience with the Philip Glass Ensemble and their migration process to Bidule.

"Most of RAGE was created in the box except for me playing live guitars, electric and acoustic. I’m fortunate to have a great collection of vintage guitars. I rarely record guitar amps anymore, I usually record electric guitar directly with guitar pedals into Digital Performer and mix them digitally with just about every guitar amp sim made. If it’s acoustic guitar, I use a couple of vintage API 512’s and compress and EQ it within Digital Performer. I’m using tons of software beside DP…Reason, Bidule, and Spectrasonics to name a few. I love Rob Papen’s virtual collection, incredibly intuitive. I use lots of Native Instruments, Project Sam Brass, Percussion and Symphobia. I love Sonokinetic’s abstract orchestral library, Tutti, and tons of East West Sample libraries including The Dark Side and Symphonic Orchestra Platinum."
