I try to make the worst wind instrument ever 

Congratulations, you invented the didgeridon't.

It sounds like the ungodly child of a broken gameboy and a squeaky door. And it's angry at the world. I love it !

Dial-Up: The Musical

The challenge for me, was just watching till the end. He has perfected the ability to make irritating sounds

It's like acoustic chipcore

Nicolas: Let's make the worst wind instrument in the world EDM producers: No, no, I think he's on to something...

You made an instrument that sounds like Clown Core's vocals

Wet farts, squeaking dorhinges, and the screeching sound of an old chair being draged across a linoleum floor, all combined in perfect harmony. This is a miracle.

This sounds like it really wanted to be an electronic instrument but was told it had to be a flute.

i hope there will be a proper trombone style version of this for maximum phasing

When my brother and I were kids, we would compete to see who could make the most annoying sounds. I didn't think anyone could beat my brother, but you could.

These sounds remind me of some kind of crazy digital device from the old days. Even DSL modems did not give out such a phony)

Best relaxing/meditation instrument ever. I am waiting for a full album with only these flutes.

You can make a fortune doing covers of popular songs with that! It'll be the next big thing, yes, even better than bad flute playing.

It's like a flute got bit-crushed to hell and back.

I thought I only recently discovered you, but now I know you've been living in my dial up modem all along.

As a composer I’m immediately thinking about how I would use this in compositions haha! I want a professional player of these disgusting instruments

These instruments are remarkably close to a set of instruments I made that I collectively call the Poorly Behaved Tubes. I have done many experiments with squeaker toy insert reeds (like those used in the groan tube). There is an amazing amount of variation and nuance to be found using small reeds like these. The combination of a very small reed and that the reed is uncontrolled (like that found in a wind cap instrument, and unlike the mouthpiece of clarinet and saxophone) makes the reeds extra prone to chaotic behavior. I find this kind of chaos to be different from the turbulence found on turbulence flutes like death whistles, as the behavior is from the erratic deformation of the reed itself, and not significantly from air moving in a turbulent way through the tube. I also think that long or very long tubes more easily have clear tones that can be distinguished. The only short tubes I have made with these reeds that make clear tones have the reeds controlled through contact with the lips, when the reed is capped it becomes very hard to hear clear pitch from it. Of my experiments, my slide instruments have been the most interesting, and in many ways the most fruitful for unique sound characteristics.

You should make something bagpipe-like with four or so of these

Wow I didn’t know there was an acoustic instrument that played dial-up modem sounds!!!

if you want to emulate the full effect of the reed passing through the tube maybe you can magnetize it and pair it with a handle outside the tube?

He want to make the worst sounding instrument… Drill, industrial, hardcore, brostep producer: Im gonna make a career thanks to this guy !!!

Some of the rhythmical things actually sound very interesting and potentially useful, I'd be curious how they'd sound pitched down an octave in a sampler… Native Instruments should hire you to do a sample library! (Edit: just saw the end of the video, that's going to be some interesting stuff!)

This thing sounds like a dial-modem playing a Tom Morello solo, its great.

This is an instrument for transcendental meditation

You are an absolute madman and I am living for it

that's how aphex twin creates his synths

I'm sure every instrument that ever existed started with "this thing sounds terrible, let's make an instrument out of it" :D

3:28 Me when I try to quietly open the door to the bathroom in the middle of the night:

I never thought I'd see the day where there would be acoustic dubstep.

The montage at 1:59 reminded me of my childhood trying to connect to our AOL internet 😂

2:01 if this triggers memories, you're old.

The growl tube is just perfect for modern electronic music though. I can clearly hear it mixed into some dubstep and/or d&b

I did this but with an old wind tube instead of the piping, I also tried attaching a kazzoo so it's before the read, you can kinda play both at the same time. It doesn't sound as good as this though. And yes this does sound good, it has a great electronic sound.

I've gotta get me a groan tube for this. It sounds like a dialup error

My dog found this video very interesting. He has formed a team with my two cats to investigate it. 🤣 They are currently staring at my cellphone intensely. 😂

1:18 - The sound of my hard drive dying when accidentally running two AAA games on an ultra wide display.

Thanks for sharing. I do like how you explore instruments and sound (even though this one was a little harsh sounding). This one reminds me of the circuit bending where people took old electronic toys and synths are rewired them to make strange sound boxes. It seems that you are doing the analogue equivalent of this. I did find that the circuit benders did eventually evolve some really homemade synths from their experiments and learned a lot from exploring the borderland between music and noise. I am sure you are learning some amazing things even from this harsh sound instrument (maybe an analogue distortion circuit that could be part of a chain of sound transformations that adds texture to a sine wave flute like sound, like the membranes attached to the Chinese flutes). I will look forward to see where all this goes!

4:30 woah, you've made an english to dial-up modem translator!

sounds like you made a instrument that is loading a tape on a zx spectrum, I LOVE IT

This is pure psychedelic. Slap a lot of reverb on it, 16th note gate and you have instant psychedelic.

Wow, someone has finally figured out how the American emergency radio warning/alarm was created!

My C64 called, he wants his SID chip back!

2:05 Congratulations! You have become a BBS modem!

It reminds me of an old internet connection, horror movies, some defective electric device and a chicken sometimes :D. Definitely something unique!

2:02 When loading a ZX spectrum game 5:14 The game title screen music

Finally, a true dubstep instrument!

It really does sound like DOS PC speaker music and sound effects.

play the sounds at 5:00 through an octaver pedal and you've got yourself some rage against the machine solos !

Now we know what "happened" to you as a kid so you came to make such great PVC Pipe instruments ^^

That experimentation around 2 min mark sounds like connecting to the internet in the 90s

It's like someone is beating the hell out of a dial up modem that hates everything

3:55 when your Google Smart Sax has both a weak wifi signal and low battery

"So, what instrument do you play?" "I play Keygen." "What?" "What?"

My god I pity your neighbours, and also tip my hat for your thought processes.

4:50 that mix of a dolphin and a chicken ist kind of great!

Props for the near perfect impression of a modem handshake

Finally, a wind instrument perfect for black metal

the really long one is like a trombone from hell, love it!!

Some of those sound experiments... I kept expecting the Welcome to AOL screen.

massive weapon for Industrial Hardcore techno 🔥

Absolutely gorgeous sound

5:29 sounds like a cat's soul trapped in an old radio

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

It’s close enough to a dial up modem that I kept expecting to hear someone tell me that I’ve got mail!

2:10 When you start up your diesel truck on a cold day

Grandma's neural processor after she falls down the stairs for the ninth time this week 1:53

sounds amazing

went from modem to techo to chipmunk lol now you need to make the worst trombone ever by feeding this with a mouthpiece lol

5:40 those silent hill 1 vibes are true man, seriously hahaha

Have no experience with music or sound design but some of those sound would make cool robot chatter for a scifi film.

Thank you for this. It totally made my day. Genius.

OMG, now you can play 8bit music live&unplugged!!!

2:05 THAT IS ONE EPIC DUBSTEP CONSERT

I actually love this so much!

1:26 sounds like when Neo takes the red pill and the camera goes down his throat.

What a sound! Loved the journey through it all!

Hey. Wait this was the sound of the 80th, my ZX Spectrum 48+ when loading a Basic program or the modem of my Triumph Adler in the 90th.

Some of the sounds could be easily in some cyberpunk nightclub

My cat jumped in confusion at 1:18. I had earphones on.

My son is blowing into recorder way too hard as I type, and somehow I'm watching this. The amount of ear pain is escalating quickly.

Sounds like a kid throwing a fit in toys r us when they can’t get the expensive Lego kit they want

I like how it turned into to jazz, chicken sounds, electronic screeches for a few split seconds here and there

5:13 Sonne from Rammstein ! You made my day xD

Some sounds are unironically amazing.

thats acidic af, find the right producer and they can make a rave banger out of this fr fr

4:48 cleaning the windows be like

Haha! I was given a "Giggle Stick" from some children a long time ago. Used it for some sound effects for theatre. The director (a Dane) stubbornly called it a "Jiggle Stick", but liked it. Those children have their own children by now, but they knew I love strange sounds.

It's basically like an aztec death whistle landline modem lo fi chiptune trombone. Pretty cool!

Dahm i think you just reinvented The Prodigy

Try sending those middle range sounds into an old dial-up modem. Maybe this is how we will make contact with the aliens! This stuff sounds like tuning the shortwave bands ages ago when all those modem sounds were on the air. Samba all night with that one sound, I couldn't help but hear the deep drum.

4:47 talking to dolphins

2:02 - Nicolas accidently connected to the internet from the 90s

Congratulations, sir. That is a truly awful cacophony! Your creation has surpassed the oboe as "the ill wind that nobody blows good".

The second one you tried after you drilled the holes sounds good and it sounds like a game soundtrack that I would like. I want to know what the instrument that part sounds like is.

This is horrifying. Well done.

1:23 sounds like you almost got yourself a elk call

This instrument would be fantastic for making a track for an old video game, but mostly the long “flute”! Either way, great vid!

This instrument is most excellent, it sounds like the Doom soundtrack played on a dot matrix printer possessed by a hateful demon

1:16 Aztec death whistle
