Eerie sounding. Also sounds like thereāre several instruments playing at once.
Living with that view itās small wonder heās inspired to invent.
That gap under the door looks like it lets in a howling gale in winter however. Perhaps heās stripping back his cabin to build his creations.
Super crazy instrument. The sound is really something else, itās like a cello on steroidsā¦ and acid. I bet listening to it in person would be pretty amazing.
Made me think of this:
But seriously, itās a very neat sound. Iāve been trying to find the sort of music he bases his composition upon, but Iāve cume up woefully short. Any tips?
Interesting. Itās essentially a completely acoustic-resonator implementation of the classic spring reverb tank. Heās just got drum membranes as the amplifying mechanism instead of a pickup and tubes/transistors.
It reminded me of the Zube Tube (I didnāt know they still made them). This is bigger and cooler, of course. Also made me think of the Long String Instrument.
Come for the music, stay for the view!
Iād love to live in that room, what an amazing space and view.
Looks like the videographers took the time to gel the windows to avoid blowing out the highlights. I wouldnāt expect anything less from someone in that castle of musical goodness.
Yeah man. I am digging the vibe. ( I really talk like this )
Good lord thatā¦ thing produces such eerie, bizarre sounds.
Now, I want one.
Or, preferably to build one, only even more spring reverb drums and additional add-on apparatuses for enhanced effects. Run it through a nice Fender amp, add some pedal effects, and sit on a mountaintop wailing away.
Uh, wellā¦ something like that.
Hey, I wonder if the guy would make his design available for others to replicate. āSoundsā like it would be a very intriguing āmakerā project to build, IMHO. 8^}
Pretty freakinā awesome.
Funny how springs make reverb so simply.
Makes me think of this with the multiple harmonics:
Boo-hoo, itās on Vimeo. I canāt manage to get Vimeo video to play on this machine.
However, Iāll keep the link so I can point people who keep insisting on arduino-ing every little, simple task, to it. So many interesting sounds, sights, sensations, and processes donāt need computers. To wit, the Star Wars lasergun sound.
I have a similar problem with Soundcloud, work computerās browser isnāt entirely up to date and canāt handle it. Occasionally it will refuse to play Youtube videos saying that it canāt handle Flash but then i reload a few times and itāll work.
No insulation, and looks like single-pane windows. Iām going to go out on a limb and guess that Istanbulās weather is a lot like the rest of the eastern Mediterranean.
Iāve got Firefox 33.1, but with NoScript - which I think is the āproblemā with Vimeo, even though Iāve got āallow allā set for boingboing. It might be third-party cookies, which are verbotten here.
The only way Iād be able to watch it, I guess, is to fire up the old Boxee box.
SoundCloud? Iāve never been able to get it to work either. Their loss, if you ask me.
I picked up Beethovenās āOde to Joyā at 6:02.
Edit: On relisten, I see he started quoting āOde to Joyā at 4:25.
Interesting! Though I was referring to the classical Turkish elements:)
Youāll need to click on the NoScript icon and allow Vimeo also. Alternatively, go directly to vimeo.com and allow them there. Youāll often have to allow Embedly too for embedded videos.
For Soundcloud youāll need to allow sndcdn too. The cdn part is ācontent delivery networkā and lots of sites use that cdn suffix also.
Hope that helps if you havenāt tried it already.
Then if you want an extra layer of security, run your browser in a sandbox. I use SandBoxie.
I recommend Sandboxie too, really easy to use too.
