Visiting Willem Twee Studios - a modern early electronic music studio
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- In which I visit Willem Twee Studios, an amazing electronic music studio in the Netherlands that breathes the ideas and techniques of Schaeffer, Stockhausen, Xenakis and brings them alive for a new generations of musicians.
Built from the collection of Hans Kulk, who has been working with early electronic music tools since 1983, the studio is integrated into Willem Twee, a concert venue in 's-Hertogenbosch. Run lovingly by Rikkert Brok, Armeno Alberts and Hans, the two studios and the beautiful Tonzaal, built into a former Synagoge, breath history. You can find post-war communications technology next to early analog computers, classic Arp synthesizers and custom made tools, as well as a beautiful pipe organ and all you ever need to create tape collages. Everything is ready to be played and recorded, and kept in amazing shape.
This was an absolute highlight fro me personally and I hope to return for a longer stay some time.

"I'm going for a quick smoke. You know what to do". Time goes fast. 50 (100? 200?) years later Hainbach is still there and becomes a new "lighthouse keeper". Invites next chosen to sit there for another eternity.
russianvoodoo this reply resonates with me.
How do I apply?
Tele Synth you can’t apply. You can only receive an invitation to the “studio”. Only the chosen one, who knows how to send signals to the other side will have a chance to receive a pattern for organ which unlocks secret door to the studio.
I can imaine him becoming a resident here, wow, it's sooooo his thing! If anyone knows how to make good use of this amazing studio it be Sir Hainbach!
@@russianvoodoo amazing
for the people who love sounds , not just the melodies, but sounds
Yes. Music is just beautiful sounds.!doesn’t have to be melody or harmony rhythm. I think if the sound makes you feel something, then it’s music. In fact it doesn’t have to be beautiful. It could foreboding, dangerous, curious.
See you all in bit! This video runs close to 30 minute, so bring snacks and beverages.
I could watch this all day, what an incredible place! You looked like a kid at Christmas in the middle of that composition
like mr Kulk says around 10:48.. people forget the time.
I Guess Hauska would be the pianist for such performance mentioned on the video. @Hauskamusic
HA ! Captain Crunch - I LUW this vibe - litterally VIBES ! This is Marvelous ! 🤠
I was one of Hans' students at the HKU in the end of the 90's and feel blessed, he is a very warm and great guy and a great inspirator, I am happy to see that he managed to get this awesome project going! Sine on guys!
Same here! only early 00's. very cool.
Love the free flowing "dub"style of his set up.. and having the original, processed and feedback signals at hand is genius. Also: I'm going to start saying "SOUNDS TOO SYNTHY" at techno parties. What a great character :D
This is such a wonderful experience, especially as an American audio engineer who's never been to Europe. Just seeing different studios in different countries is fascinating to me! Thanks so much for making this!
It's incredible how organic everything sounds
If I've learned two things from Heinbach, it's that there's music everywhere in places we don't always think of and that Germany has excellent mass transit
@MomoTheBellyDancer He uses both to travel from Germany to The Netherlands though.. I'd say public transport is pretty good in both countries, albeit on the expensive side.
@@Nachtdwaler i am fairly certain that he starts out in Rotterdam in the Netherlands because that place he walks around in the beginning looks exactly like the place where the Worm in Rotterdam has a little residence where artists can sleep, it looks familiar to me since i was recently there myself... and the fact that he was playing in the worm kinda makes me more certain of this but correct me if i'm wrong
@@MelomaniaRecordings You might be right. Don't come near Rotterdam too often so I would not known.
Ps: Ik dig je muziek echt hard. Keep it Free! 1love.

The visual beauty of the equipment is as stunning as the sounds that come out of it.
Fantastic show! My father was an audiologist and had a stack of test equipment in his lab (this was in the 60's-70's). When I (as a young boy) started getting obsessed with synthesisers in the the mid-70's I never considered this gear usable for making music. I do remember that he had a Bode ring modulator (which I knew Tomita used), but I had no idea how to integrate it. At that time I was learning how to use my first synth (EMS AKS) which kept me plenty occupied (and it provided ring modulation).
Something so nice; I must watch this twice!
This is amazing. (I imagine Hainbach is now madly tearing apart his studio and reorganizing it.)
Oh I did! First thing after I came back until late into the night. Now the Regietisch is getting work.
@@Hainbach bring some köln style to neuköln :)
It’s crazy how this kind of music relaxes to the point I almost pass out
What a wonderful place...
Hammer😀 was für eine Schaltzentrale da sind Klangexperimente ohne Grenzen möglich.....Danke für diesen tollen Besuch 👍
When you have a room like that, you know it's going to be interesting.
Great vid! I'm Dutch, but never knew there was a place like this in the country. Being a sound engineer, i'll have to visit ✌✌
You did it! You finally found someone crazier than you. (In a good way)
I’m instantly reminded of the sound effects used on the tv series Space 1999 - especially season 1. Love this concrete Stockhausen experimental music. Love the fact he has a ARP2500 with wings too. I used to dream about that synth since seeing it in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Great stuff here.
Incredible. Easily one of the most inspiring studio setups I’ve ever seen.
The "Lock-In Amplifier Duet", at 14:20 to +/- 18:00 just deserves applause. A masterpiece of equilibrium.
This sounds incredible. Nothing even remotely close near me that I know of. Exciting!
Long, deep drone from the pipe organ in the intro was killer! Just as amazing as the rest of the studio. Amazing!
Without first seeing the pipe organ, I could have sworn it sounded like a modular synth drone. Talk about a huge shock when I saw the organ. WOW.
Absolutely fantastic. love the analogue computer and Hainbach's Rythmic jam.
You are a constant source of inspiration and nutrition for our minds. The service you give to the community is immense and invaluable dear Hainbach. Endless gratitude !!!
Well stated. Healing and nutrition through sonic landscapes of life's journey
Haha such synchronicity ! 💫
While I watched this I ha on another Tab the Iceland Volcano Livestream; with the Live wind noise.
Then in your piece you brought synthesized wind nose as well.
"I'm looking for an artist..." (27:00) There's your opening Hainbach. Go for it!
This video totally captured me...I could feel your excitement, too.
Prepared piano processed real time through test equipment... It's the Nils Frahm / Hainbach collab I've been dreaming of!
blaisebaileyfinnegan I would love to hear Nils Frahm & Hainbach collaborate. Great comment.
So impressive, back to basics, must be incredible fun!!
Ambient music, to me, is about place, and this video is all about being in that place. Thank you for taking us along on your journeys into experimental music.
Wow!! I would feel like a little enthusiastic kid in a candystore, if i would be there. Thank you for sharing this. I think it would be awesome bering there.
Hainbach Thank you for your great interesting videos, You are a great and fine soul. ;D Love from Sweden
19:02 pffff what a beautiful sound,nice video,thanks!
Willem twee studio's is great. Did 2 classes there. The great instruments nice people and good atmosphere are very inspiring.
absolutely amazing what Hainbach made with all this oscillators and wired sound sources..
It feels like finishing a journey !
He say's it's going long at 30 minutes. I say it felt like 5 and could surely go for several more hours and no one would complain.
Astounding! It’s like making music with a gigantic defibrillator. ❤
Amazing sounds
Seem like you’re a kool dude Bro , I enjoy the videos and ……… glad to have you back
This place looks amazing. I did not know there was anything like this around in the Netherlands.
Great video (as always). Loved the nice little Lorenz Attractor / transform thing going on the oscilloscope :)
Thank you! A great discovery for me this morning
Cool Cool Cool ! ! ! Loved it... thank you!
This place is incredible!
ACE! Thank you so much for sharing.
"Frequency Curtain". Great description.
Great place ..
Looks like a hell for electronics service ...
Proud to see my fellow Brabanders doing it right!
Thanks Hainbach! Thank you for sharing it with us!!
Thank you for this!
These kind of studios are such a gem.
All I can say is wow. Very creative and clever. I do not see this old test equipment as test equipment at all. This equipment is definitely the brain child behind modern music, and music to come. Keep creating!
it looks like a russian cold war control center - great to see someones keeping this old equipment still working - all looks tip top condition - superb
I have to watch this at least a dozen times. There’s so much to take from this in so many ways. My mind is blown!! I can even begin about that hitachi computer! Wow just wow!!
This is bloody nutty and brilliant!
Love it! And what an amazingly likable, passionate guy Hans is. Thank you
the look of glee on your face when Hans started adding was great, im glad you had so much fun
This studio would have to be almost unique and I can imagine that you were like a child in a toy shop! Thank you for the tour.
wow mind blowing! Hans is on another level
Getting Sonology analogue studio flashbacks :) , good stuff!
A whole room to make a snare drum patch, nice...
Aah super nice, this is in my hometown. Have been to the studio in the Toonzaal / W2, many times. Awesome place, awesome people.
This is the best video I have ever seen on this studio! I work on equipment similar in my telecoms job. I would love to go there some time and see what broadcast techniques and synthesis techniques overlap with real Telecoms equipment! Wonderful stuff. I am sure it was a joy. You would probably spend a few months there with 0 boredum!
Real fun place! I processed my last record through these machines.
With the mix of ethereal sounds, the perspective wobble from the auto camera stabilisation and binarual thing going on when he's blending the conversaion audio from the camera and the voice recorder this is pretty trippy in places.
Ideal for 50's Sci-Fi movies !
Thanks so much for creating this video! I recently worked in the studio's and was thinking it would be fantastic to use this physical wired interconnectedness between the concert hall and the 2 studio's establishing an immersive hybrid multi-channel instrument through the building ~ a flux exchanging CV and musical signals throughout the architecture and create new pieces with this... how remarkable to now find out based on this interview, that this is the dream of Hans as well.. I have a very defined mission from now on: to move this beyond the dream and be that artist imagined. Thanks again for all the incredible work Hainbach!!
Droooooooooooooool!!! Next best thing to heaven, wat een ongelooflijk waanzinnig gave studio!!!
Pure Love for sound!!😊😊 What a Joy to watch🙏🤗😁. Thanks!
AMAZING! Shine on you crazy Diamond!
This place is fascinating!
Best Hainbach video yet!
wow, this is so overwhelming
thanks hainbach, nice job
Real epic, thanx for posting Hainbach !
Wow felt radiated from this
Oh. A studio to create the sounds of planets conversing! 8)
my goodness! so amazing!
Very nice video, Hans is such a wonderful guy with incredible knowledge. It’s the most amazing place
This is one of the most nicest videos I've seen in a long time, Thank-you Hainbach, this is very special
What a great video! Thank you for sharing. Always welcome to come visit The Netherlands.
candy of exploration loving the analog computers too :)
beautifully shot, my friend.
Thank you, that was not easy being a one person operation
Thank you, Heinbach, for making this video and for making it about as long as it needed to be. I appreciate your giving so much time to Hans to talk about and to demonstrate some the equipment in the studio before sharing your experiments with it. What a wonderful facility, beautiful people, great possibilities, and satisfying sonic results.
Holly synth.... Fantastic sir! thanks
Hits on so many levels. The physical studio is itself a work of art and could easily just exist silently in a gallery and still be impressive. Of course, that's to say nothing of it as an expressive instrument. Amazing work.
This is absolutely incredible
This is a trip. Thanks so much for sharing this.
this is just amazing
The Oscilloscope at 2:53 made me think there was an angry cat in my room. So cool.
the track you built in there is gorgeous, really really good. thanks for sharing all this.
Das hat Spass gemacht. Danke Hainbach fürs zeigen....
Fantastic guys!!
one of my fave vids of hainbach's i have to say, and one my fave tracks he's created on YT - just beautiful.
bin immer wieder dankbar, dass es leute wie dich gibt.
gruesse aus frankfurt.
Thank you for this. I performed in that hall back in 2000. A long way from Australia.
So great that you made a video of this beautiful place. This is where I got hooked on modular and analog. And the people here are amazing at bringing life to the studio with lots of workshops and performances around it.
"500 Hertz bitte!" - that cracked me up
"If only I could find an artist to love my piano" ;) .......
It's a beautiful dream..:::🌤🌱💛🎼🎶
I'm happier knowing the collection and its curator/teacher/students exist.
That was amazing what a crazy place! Now that's a studio! Haha! From ridiculously windy Ireland! ☘️💪🏽👀👍🏽☘️
