wow sound designers for video games and movies would go wild for this, sounds crazy
This brought Hildur Guðnadóttir (best known from Joker and Chernobyl) to my mind.
Kevin should just start sampling these instruments and make a sound design/audio company. Dude has built a lot of unique instruments.
perfect atmosphere for a horror game
I would literally listen to an hour of someone just improvising on this thing
Man, this sounds crazy, it would be cool to have that instrument sampled into a library
When playing arco you want to play perpendicular to the string as well for best tonality.
Your grip is also wrong lay it across your 4 fingers and hold tension with your thumb on the frog.
A bass bow would also MUCH help but deciding french or German would be massively helpful, the hairs are wider and a longer heavier bow.
I want to see this succeed and if my comment can help I'd be ecstatic.
Thanks, I obviously have zero knowledge on this
@@SaidTooMuchProductions it's ok dude! :) It may be in your interest checking what he has to say, a lot of the "guttural" sounds that came out, albeit cool, may be weird frictions caused by bad bow technique, since it's not like a pick, that even when using it wrong the note desired will be played. Cheers!
WHAT IS A FROG
@@damienhelmold6978 the black part that you hold on the bow with
Would be great for a doom metal band!
Truly menacing
Octobass was traditionally tuned C1-G1-C2 from low to high. The C0 tuning was a very modern invention and now even OSM uses an A0 tuning to match the bottom of the piano.
Aren't most of them tuned to E0 A0 D1? Or im mixing it up?
@@The_Copper_Element_Itself I have never actually seen that as a tuning. The only standard ever written down was one of Berlioz and Strauss in their "Treatise On Instrumentation." In the section right before the section entitled "The Orchestra" is a section called "The Octobass" which talks about its function in the orchestra. They say, "This instrument is not, as many people believe, the lower octave of the double-bass, but that of the violoncello; it can reach only a third below the E of the four-stringed double-bass. It has only three strings, tuned in the fifth and fourth:" and it shows an 8va standard bass clef showing C-G-C. Which would sound C1-G1-C2
With my 34" scale bass and a Kalium 0.266 gauge string, I hit a 15Hz(ish) B. I actually get notes. I bought a set of 0.280 strings from Octave4Plus that hits 15Hz on a 34" scale bass bass.
I had a new neck made for my 7 string bass that gives it a 37.5" scale and a custom set of .266 strings that let me hit 15Hz. It makes much better noises;-)
266 gadge!!!!! Can i have the link??
I've always wanted to play the octobass in Arizona at the MIM. This is probably more attainable though lol. I'm pretty sure the strings were made of gut rather than steel (or in your case, copper), but this is a pretty fair substitute.
Okay.... this is mind bindingly wonderful
I love how it's so low that you can hear the frequency
Came back for this video
Some Jurassic park sounds
Now put a hurdy gurdy wheel on in.
Don't wake up giant monster while he is sleeping
Holy shit, that sounds AWESOME !!!
I know, right? Lol
I want to make one of these
Now THAT'S tone!
This actually sounds badass:) I’d use it in a film score, video game OST or industrial metal project.
An Upright Bass Bow would've been more appropriate
You've just build a "proto -short scale octobass". A professional "electric short scale octobass" would be really... awesome.
Does anyone know if there is exactly that, or anything close to it, on the market for sale?
How about adding a small bridge to raise the string a little?
sounds like horror movie sound effects
STOP SUMMONING GODZILLA, YOU'LL DOOM US ALL!!!
May I suggest Try using drop tuners and/ or more strings. Sounds good just needs a body with an arched bridge imo.
This reminds me of walking past a shop at night with a crackhead screeching about on a stolen violin.
Aaaaaahhhhhh, The British Isles.
Reminiscent of Doom 64. :p
Your bowhold is funky but that's fine, main problem is that is seems you're really digging into the string, you dont need to go that hard
I should have gotten an upright bass player to give it a try. The string is a thick copper round wound beast too, remember
@@SaidTooMuchProductions definitely, I just heard some signature scratching which tends to mean you're applying too much pressure, might be mistaken though, my headphones aren't the greatest
Horn simulator when using bow at 45 degrees
You should've got a bass bow for a better contact
Sounds like opening gate at my dad's house. Very rusty sound. With some trumpets perhaps...
Reminds me of sunn O)))
Technically, I think that the viol family of instruments makes vibrato by moving the fingering hand. Cool idea though!
Super Low. BTW The Beluga Piano can play higher than C8 up to B8. The 108 Key Piano has been a big hit due to its versatility.
Hey man I got an idea I'd love you to try.
So one of the main points to bass of any kind is to move air. Upright's do this very well, acoustic basses are pretty poor. Been musing on how to change this and was wondering.
How would guitar and particularly bass sound with a resonating chamber on the headstock? Like a sitar and other eastern instruments.
You could even try putting one of those big metal cookie tins around the headstock with as much headstock to metal contact as possible. Or wooden box.
I love the way metal resonators sound. Might be cool to put a pickup inside too
Interesting
Can I borrow your Octobass for an art installation in the UK? How can I get in touch with you? Thanks
Man, I wish they made flatwound piano strings 😅
You can get some creepy noises out of that
actually sounds like noises I've heard in Scifi video games... 🤔
The next step is to really match the scale length
Any chance you can make it last 8 hours for one of those sleep meditation videos? No one makes a good deep vibe.
Has science gone too far?
You have tried but no one can go lower bor get the sound of me or my 6 brothers !!!
Man That's low!
Well i can only hear distortion.
My headphones sadly go only down to 5hz... :D
sounds like a whale mixed with farts
hehe, sounds like a thing a whale would do
Perfect for funeral doom metal
