These sound like instruments people in a broken world would make. A dystopia where life has been ruined, but they are trying to grow back, and it starts with music. They don't quite have all the proper materials to make instruments so they made their own, and these are the results. I love it.
had similar thoughts. Like the people who refused to live in the new world metropolitan districts (outcasts) made these because thats what they have to work with. love it aswell
While watching the video, I created a playlist to put this video in. It was named “retaliation”. I love music. I love drums, bass & life; in the astronomically low chance of me actually able to experience life. Thankful forever, this was amazing truely, coming from a 6 year drummer!! 🥁
The name of my project means "music from nowhere", that's how I like to see those instruments, some traditional instruments from a culture that never exists
Being able to "find the music" in each one of these instruments, bringing them all to life with interesting tones, while keeping them all sounding unique, is something really impressive. Your playing made each one of these beautiful
My good God....the session was absolutely stunning to ears. Beyond Being a flutist, I personally enjoyed the string ones than the wind versions. This person here has ocean depth knowledge upon eastern and western type of music. He is a real gem for the music world.....Wow man.
Pink Floyd made an album called "Household Objects", made entirely using household objects as instruments, they found this album way too difficult to finish, and abandoned it half way through, due to them not having good enough sounding instruments to complete it properly. Some of these instruments are good sounding, some sounded terrible, get some local decent musicians, you've got a bass, bicycle slide guitar, tea tray Kyoto, and make an album of pink floyd inspired covers, called "Household Objects Revisited", ? . Instant RU-vid smash I think, 'if', the good musicians would put their name to it.
All depends on purpose, some of the ones that sound "terrible" in your opinion make work better for FILM, instead of straight ahead music for casual listening. Even terrible sounds CAN also be put into casual music, all depends on how its used, usually using them as nuanced pieces in the BACKGROUND is best.
One of the most creative things I’ve seen in a long while. I particularly appreciate how he figured out what music and style seem to work best with each instrument.
I know these are all just screwing around, but the amount of sound understanding required to make a single one of these experiments work is mindblowing
Wow, that Tin Can Harp is beautiful! And the Tin Can Cymbalum (3:19) sounds *awesome*! I think you should be hired to do music for a western game, similar to Borderlands. Their music sounds similar to some of what I hear in your collection.
I'm. Honestly surprised how close most of these sound to normal folk instruments. Great job! The drone lyre sounds like a Shamisen and as some who is learning the lyre it's exiting!
Where there is the will, there is a way. Incredible. What a magnificent orchestra these all together would make. I would love to see and hear that. Much respect to the designer of the instruments.
My first instrumental injury; 9 years old I built a coffe can drum kit with cymbals cut out from the cans.. got one of the cymbals between 2 of my toes.. Now i´v got coffe and rythm in my blood.. and a scar.
I met this wonderful artist last year"live" during one of his performances! Besides his undeniable artistic qualities, Nicolas is a wonderful person! If you have ever the chance to see/listen to his one man concerts GO!
Now I’ve got this idea of a music store filled with these kinds of instruments. I could absolutely see some legendary artists wanting to try some of these out.
Thank you for reading that for us. I started that book, but didn't make it very far. I'm inspired now to pick it up again. This is why RU-vid is extremely valuable for humanity, despite the outer mantle and crust of toxic nonsense.
@@Metal-Possum If it sounds wrong it is played wrong. Simple... If it doesn't sound wrong it is played in a correct way. That how music playing must be taxed. :-) Don't care about scales, trust you ears.
This shows that when you understand the basics about how instruments make sounds, you can make numerous instruments out of all sorts of humble materials.
Just WOW! Such talent! You create such amazing instruments! Musicians need to hire you this instant! You could make back up tracks that would propel bands into the stratosphere if they had half the ability you do! Kudos sir!
Some of these were really nice! My favorite was #67, a combination of wind and string instrument that makes a person able to play together with himself. There could be a two hour version of this video where we could hear more of the possibilities of each instrument.
This is so underrated!! I love the sounds some if those instruments make. And the music you come up with - Captivating 😍 That makes me think... I've got so much junk lying around, maybe I could make a cool sounding instrument out of it :D
I just explored your videos and I must say that these instruments are incredibly beautiful. I am also trying to invent instrument. I consider myself lucky to have found this channel. I really liked your videos. Thank you!
Unbelievable! Wes Anderson should ask you to do the next sound track! (And i say this as a music composer, who's aspiring that dream, but man you're really way ahead everyone I know ❤)
Definitely you inspired me to experiment around with pvc pipe flutes! Until know, I made primarily upcycled trash-string-instruments, but this gonna change :D
Thanks for sharing the video. I do not know if you have shared the instructions to make them as well... It would be really nice. I see that some of the instruments, the guitar ones, are some recycling guitar necks in most of the cases. Very nice video. Thanks.
Nous autres physiciens appelons cela "faire de la Physique avec les mains". Ce qu'il y a de mieux. Continuez, vous êtes précieux en ce monde fasciné à l'excès par les "réalités" virtuelles ;-)
