Using an eBow to vibrate the string and create a constant drone. Twisting the tuning peg changes the pitch of the drone. Played other parts with a chip brush and my hands. Processed through guitar pedals.
Absolutely amazing, really well done. Not only does it sound great, I kind of get the vibe of radio engineers from the 1940's creating huge varieties of sounds through ingenious combinations of equipment in the studio. Thanks for sharing this.
@@scarymountainwizard I think if you continue with this channel and perhaps contact people with similar channels then that might lead to something. Your video sounds a lot like Nurse With Wound. Excellent work.
Exquisitely scary. Love it. I've been exploring base-16, 16-tone equal temperament, and you can get some pretty scary sounding sonorities. I've also become interested in musical instrument manufacturing, but it's hard to know where to start.
It's an e-bow. That's exactly what it does. It's made for guitar. I believe the light is there to help you aim it at a particular string. I've never played one myself, but they look fun.
That’s a neat idea! Essentially anything that can create a vibration will be picked up by the piezo discs inside the box. A metal sheet might give me a plate reverb type sound.
From the pedalboard I went into an interface and recorded onto Reaper. These days I tend to use a Zoom H6 to record and then mix it down in a DAW later. Thanks for the comment!
Both, sorta. The springs vibrate so it’s constantly giving a signal for the piezos. Then processing through pedals helps it the rest of the way. Really fun build, though!
It was just a simple $15 pre-wired piezo disc kit that you can get on Amazon. But I wired in one more disc to give me another surface to pick up vibrations.
I use a lot of different ones and they’re constantly being swapped out and traded. I don’t exactly remember what was used on this video, but I’m sure it was at least the Red Panda Particle and EQD Dispatch Master for sure.
