The hidden possibilities of KAZOO feat AURUS 

Wow, not only are kazoos way cooler than I realized, but AURUS is incredible! Absolutely loving the album so far

Fantastic collaboration, will we see more of you two together?

Wow. This really caught me off guard. What a fantastic voice

What a beautiful video! I clicked on it with a funny intention cause of Kazoo but you leave me absolutely fascinated. At some points I had Blade Runner 2049 vibes. Awesome

Two pipes sound like chewbacca

Is no-one going to mention Aurus' headgear? He wears that piece of brass like it's an every day fashion accessory that we're all used to!

Oh my gosh what a beautiful song and singer ❤ Like deployed 👍

HOW have I not found aurus before????? Killer vocalist!

If you added more membranes all the way along to the end of the pipe, would it just add more distorting or more resonance? Also, to get more of a mix of natural voice and resonated voice, you could add a hole off to the side just before the membrane that you could plug and unplug as you sing. What a great and versatile instrument! Thank you and Aurus for your performance and showing how underrated membranaphones are. They aren't just children's toys, they are instruments for professional musicians! 😃🎶🎶🎶

So I started getting into these kinds of DIY/junk instruments only a few weeks ago! And among other things "comb and paper" stuff as well as messing with kazoos specifically and wondering what all I can do with them. Of course you were a big inspiration! Love the jug band cello, too. Just got s couple suitcases with the intention of making musical instruments out of them though I was thinking of percussion at the time. So now I'm going to have to mess with this, too!

Love it the flute addendum almost sound like diphonic singing. Absolute killer when you play together !

I wanna make clear that there's no hate in this comment at all. This video is near the top of the worst sounding thing I've heard on RU-vid since I started using the platform. Then at 11:10 it turned into one of the best sounding videos I've ever watched. It was like literal magic. I really appreciate watching all the experimentation leading up to the final product. It's easy as a musician to think "This sounds bad, and I suck", and you forget that often times, true beauty only appears when sounds come together to form more than the sum of their parts. A lot of electric guitar sounds awful by itself with distortion and feedback, but in concert with the other parts of a song, it can sound beautiful and expressive. Awesome video.

Yooo, somehow didn't realize i had the playback speed up. The hard stop at 12:52 went extra hard

What a beautiful voice Aurus has! I went straight to spotify to listen to his songs and man... what amazing sound! I'm listening to his album for the second time now.

The phrase “wait for it” has never been more applicable. Amazing song.

Great video, and great song ! Could we maybe have a breakdown on this plastic bootle xylophone you're using ?

Someone get Aurus a golden robe to match that beautiful hat and earring combo ... Bro is absolutely rocking it :0

Your brilliance never ceases to amaze. AURUS is spectacular.

The is the best video ever :D haha

-Pull up the Lewitt mic Singer : Pointing directly at the capsule

I've gotta try this if I ever do voiceover for like a horror podcast or something. Sounds like a low-fi recording, and with some reverb, could be VERY atmospheric...

Wow. That song was amazing. It's so cool to hear your DIY instruments in a fully produced recording of a song.

What blows my mind is that these two musicians can create such an epic and faithful recreation of the song with a menagerie of home-made instruments. A testament to the skills of both artists!

Would love to see how vocal distortion /fry / false chord screams work with this! might just have to make one myself to experiment :))

It can also work if you combine a kazoo with a flute. The air continues to flow and at the same time you purr to the kazoo and play the flute. I'm also very curious what would happen if I combined a kazoo and a membrane clarinet. I personally made wooden membranophones, they have an amazing sound.

nice, I'm a big kazoo fan and a years long user, you missed out on a few very interesting and useful musical techniques with it. Hard to describe with words. Nice music, cool cat that singer is

Now THAT is a hat, goddamn.

Du pur génie. Un choc incroyable de passer de l'état d'amusement empirique et sans prétention à la classe absolue de la chanson finale. D'une très grande beauté 😍🙌

Oh my God. I’m so glad I waited till the end, the song is such an incredible masterpiece! 😍😍😍 Wonderful voice, wonderful sounds. A big heart to Aurus ❤

I'd love to see you make a sliding attachment for this, similar to a trombone.

2:46 we can. And when we don't it still sounds amazing, old bluesy garage sound, I'd like to hear more of that

You are awesome. I made a bas together with my son from a broken guitar string, a long stick and to screws. Keep on being strange and beautiful. Much love ;-)

I feel like this is an instrument that someone could have invented 10000 years ago, but nobody thought to do it until you.

Wow tu as créé un micro avec disto intégrée sans éléctricité !

I curiously hesitated to watch the video. It would have been such a loss! Amazing creativity, I'm impressed because music instruments was one of the subjects I thought as fully explored. Not at all!

for some reason this also reminds me of a talk box. but like backwards. sort of. maybe mixing this concept with a talkbox would be a cool video?

If you liked this then you might like the cat stampe… I mean the hurdy gurdy.

Waouh trop cool, j'avais découvert Aurus aux francofolies où j'avais trouvé sa performance sur scène incroyable, je ne m'attendais pas à le voir ici ☺ trop belle surprise. Super vidéo

I was just using a kazoo with my students today and was thinking of some ideas when your video just happened to turn up. Awesome video, very creative. Thanks.

Welcome back! This is really impressive man! Thanks for the inspiration!

4:21 omg that's so fire

i think the sound that you manage to achive are much better than aurus, i think it's not that obvious to use these instrument for how unique they are

I got a divorce for spending my time like that.

This dropped right as I was packing some flower for break time. How absolutely perfect.

7:33 THIS is a "bio" vocoder! And the other too !!!

waaah, le violoncelle/basse ! !!!!! Pour lui, un tuto ???

kazoos are the best instrument

Maybe a single mouth piece that goes to a few different sizes membranes/tubes? That way more of the range of the voice resonates with different membranes.

Thank you so much for this interesting funny sound lesson and the chance to getting to know this most beautifullest song from an outstanding impressing artist. What a lovely album. Fan now. ❤🎉

belle expérience , je me sentais come si j'était dans ton atelier et la transition de la vidéo est si attractive qu'a la fin tu nous fait cadeaux d'un voyage harmonique "beau arrangement" , un grand merci a vous deux Aurus pour sont potentiel vocal et toi Nicolas pour ta créativité et surtout ta générosité "cyberienne" si tu vois ce que je dire .🤯🙏

Would a pan flute arrangement help with harmonics? As the human voice goes higher or lower, different pipes take over as the primary resonator. I dunno I just want to know what that sounds like but I don't have time to make one myself.

This may be a dumb idea but how about you trying to build an oboe from like a plastic drinking straw? That would be really cool😂

I've been a one-man-band for years now, and I have multiple Kazoos and use them as my "brass" section when I play. Percussions played with both feet, some stringed instruments between my hands and kazoos. And singing. Yeah, it's getting complicated.

안녕하세요. 한국의 중학교 미술교사 조한인입니다. 구독자의 한 사람으로서 수업을 통해 악기를 만들고 연주하려고 합니다. 그래서 당신의 영상을 수업중 참조하고 있습니다. 허락한다면 한국의 많은 미술교사들에게 링크를 공유하고 싶습니다. 또한 새로운 영상을 기다리고 있습니다.

Nicolas, what about a kazoo with a bike pump? could be used as a filter sweep sound? Lovely video

Did you try the "Daisy Cuter" a very weird Doromb but with original and in a kind of way a cool sound.

Love it - but I believe you missed out on the best trick with kazoos, dampening the sound (quick and dirty demo) ru-vid.comdIkH2F4Uf1Q?

Very nice like what you do, have you tried a slide for the resonator bit I wonder if a vocalist could play with it more than set lengths.

"Tense but not too much, but still." Titre ! 😁

The song at the end on Bandcamp when? :)

Muse, PVC edition ! nice 🙂

I integrate a trance acoustic instrument from a guitar in saxophone. It was funny. Maybe you should experiment with way too?

Fyi, i have an electric kazoo. Found it almost 2 years ago. It has a metal membrane that resonates sympathetically and a magnetic coil pickup. Then plug it into any guitar effects. Then directly into the mixer or recorder. After watching this, I am totally going to steal your ideas here and try it with my electric one. I wonder if you put the flex pipe before the resonator...

more membranes o specific lenghts could be interesting too plus on the end a small hose from soft balloon rubber. ... i am now going to the workshop to try something

Ne montrez pas cette vidéo à Nota Bene ! XD

Is the hat some kind of instrument? Thought it was a hubcap or something, but I guess instrument would make more sense.

I approve!

♦Ah ! Tout a fait Thierry 😂😒😉👍

oh the possibilities if you combine a talkbox to membranophonic tubes!

Aurus is a beast ! Great vid... but what's that Cola bottles instrument ? Did I miss it ? D:

Love the overtones 5:40! Reminds me of Tuvan throat singing.

Nice video 😊 Aurus is great too - his comfort in high, soft sounds remind me of Einar Solberg!

it would be interesting to see a throat singer use the version with "flute holes" modulating the sound.

I wonder what would happen with subharmonics...

dude you guys are so awesome. amoung the most entertaining content i’ve seen on youtube in a longgg time. keeping me laughing and blessed with legitimately beautiful music.

Great Channel! Great Instruments! Great Song! Two Genious Musicians! Extremely Inspiring!

Salut Nicolas ! Excellent vidéo encore, tu es en france? Il est possible de visiter ton atelier ?

This was exactly what I needed. Thank you

Moi qui m'attendais a une fin de video plutot simpas, je me suis retrouvé cloué sur mon siège et profondément touché par cette chanson. Je reviens la voir souvent.

Wow, thank you for sharing your fantastical works. You literally made my day.

Les bouteilles!!! Vous avez un video pour cet instrument?

Holy moly, that song really blew me away 🤩. You guys are a great combo, I love how enthusiastic Aurus reacted to your creations. Thank you so much for sharing!

ça sonne presque comme un overdrive/saturation vocal ! Effets pratique, pas de pédales d'effet !

With the flute pipe it's a infinite overtone generator

Very interesting, analog vocal effects

Amazing everything!! Thank you!

Maaan you just saved me hours of experimentation. I was just about to go that soundtrip... trying to find my best kazoo-based instrument, portable, easy mic-able. versatile, and cool, I used a sax type mouth piece (using own plastic virbo element) just to try , and embolo flute to try to change pitch, I guees if the kazzo type is the main, also the voice will be the main pitch bending method but love how other types of instrument pieces can change or vary the pitch or overall sund. Love this Kepp on.

Great experiments and music.

So cool when you get people to try these things with you. So awesome

Évidement qu'avec Bastien picot ça allait être génial !!!! Merci pour cette vidéo!!!

Try adding snare drum wires to the membrane.

thank you! more aawsome embrane expiremets!

please 🙏 where can i find a beautiful headpiece like this? never seen anything like it 😱 SO fucking gorgeous - i MUST have one!!! ✨❤😍❤✨

There are lots of muting techniques for mirlitones! E.G. covering the membrane, kind of like a muted trumpet.

I love the sound that starts at 5:45 . Very interesting.

This is sickly creative!

Can I give this several likes, please…

10:34 incoming elephant roar!

it's like a primitive talkbox

toujours précis dans les explications et créatif, j'adore !
