Oh wow dude. At times this sounds like a theremin, at other times a violin, at other times like weird chanting, then it's an electric guitar, that's incredible.
That was a master showing off his musical prowess within his own elements, exemplifying mastery over all methods and uses of the hurdy gurdy. THAT is how you play an instrument! THAT is what we musicians aspire to be! Thank you, Guilhem, for the astounding performance that was delivered by this eloquent tune.

@@bombibombe Yeah, sorry, bro, but there's literally a cable plugged into it and doesn't have a sound box. It's an electric hurdy-gurdy. If you want a non-bullshit hurdy-gurdy performance, check Andrey Vinogradov's channel instead.
The Hurdy gurdy is as much a piece of machinery as an instrument. You can't properly play one unless you understand how to make it work... So I've heard from practicioners at least.
Benjamin Haase playing it is the best way. If you’ve had it for years but left it to dust then you shouldn’t have it. This applies for all instruments ;-;
Random RUclips suggestion. 10/10 Using the Hurdy Gurdy like the Magical Instrument it is? Absolutely priceless. Unless you have a CD. I'll pay for that. And a digital copy
I found out about this instrument because of Fredrick Knudsen’s video on it. He plays it personally and goes into detail about why the sound can be so varied and unique. It’s extremely customizable and requires intense maintainence.
Found this song. Listened to it like 60 times in a row. Found out he has an album. Bought the album. Now listened to the album over 100 times. Amazing sound, amazing album, amazing talent. 20/10, over 9000. Hope he keeps making more.
Similar story; One day I realized that I had heard the Donavan song Hurdy Gurdy Man I had no idea what a hurdy gurdy sounded like , so I you tubed 'sound of a hurdy gurdy' ; this came up at top of list. I took their suggestion and was utterly blown away, probably listened 30 times in a row. Even now years later ,when I listen I always listen to it many times in a row and it still blows me away.
Simply Brilliant, the layering of sound and rhythm was a superb assault on my ears and my soul was swept away to a different time to a medieval rock concert. What genius. Thank you.
As you yourself have pointed out, this is a “different instrument” because you are able to do things with it that are not possible on a traditional hurdy-gurdy. YOU ARE A PIONEER, and you are fearlessly exploring new gurdy territory in a unique and totally wonderful way. While I love the traditional gurdy repertoire, if the instrument is to make it into the 21st century as anything other than a curious relic of the past it must adapt, like the guitar and the keyboard, to the world of electronics. I think what you are doing is magnificent! I am familiar with the peripheral equipment you are using, and it requires a degree of dexterity and virtuosity that rivals what is needed just to play the gurdy. You appear to have mastered both. The problem with being a pioneer is that it is a lonely and often thankless existence.
My Mother passed suddenly 8/21/2020. I found this specific song, played with digital delay through what i think is guitar peddles... It's helped me to grieve... Just listening again & now I'm in tears... Thank you..! Song means more then before.🔥
If there was one instrument that could express all of emotion… this is it, and somehow you captured them all while releasing them at the same time! Well done. Can’t hear it enough.
Ight It seems I've dropped my bass, acustic and electric guitar as well as a friends violin in a box with a Yu-Ghi-Oh Fusion card by accident and this beast popped out.
@@mikepatton1873 not really, and americans are finally getting a bit of karma from themselves, for always trying to demonize what is basically their origins (and that is indeed sad)
jh5kl can you explain what you mean by "always trying to demonize what is basically their origins"? Not that I disagree necessarily, just curious what specifically you're thinking of.
The Satanic dragon head on the instrument gave me pause. What is our society's obsession with evil imagery? I know its only a carving. And a well done one at that. Why not a cherub, a flower, a bird or some other object conveying beauty? The music is THAT beautiful. I have reached an age where I seek beauty, and reject nihilism and evil in all things. Just thinking out loud. No need for anyone to over react.
@@videolabguy beauty is subjective. Where you see evil or "demonic" imagery others may see a wise being of a fanciful time long forgotten to modern man. In much fantasy, dragons especially are personified as being of nearly unmatchable intellect and wisdom as well as power beyond that which any one man can ever possess.
if you didn't knew about the hurdy gurdy, I can recommend this vid for you : ruclips.net/video/xv52jaxkHPw/видео.html it's about the hurdy gurdy history, its rise from Constantinople to its dwindle existence past the french revolution and finally to its resurgence in the last century. I warn you tho, it's half an hour long :p
1:32-2:08. Oh my goodness. So beautiful. So haunting. Emotional. It certainly distills many feelings for me. Marvelously done. I could listen to it all day.... and I have been.
Тоже не так давно узнал о подобном инструменте, совершенно случайно, звучит очень шикарно и эмоционально, звук похож на помись скрипки и баяна (аккордеона ), отличное сочетания душераздирающей музыки ))
I never thought anyone would make such a blasphemous beauty with this instrument. I just discovered this instrument yesterday and thought it was pretty cool and all but would mostly only be used to play classical and medieval stuff. You shattered that perspective
No Instrument cries out to me in the way that the hurdy gurdy does. It's like it's sounds were taken from my dreams themselves. One Day I'll have one of these beautiful instruments so that I can express a fraction of the emotion you do.
@@riftmanhun5243 You can buy a nerdy gurdy kit for $400 or something, which isn't very expensive as instruments go.

This is permanently my most favorited Song i have ever heard since its a really calming and soothing song with an instrument that is rarely seen by the public to know the possibilities of this thing and plus having an amazing artist of the music trade play this complete mystical music i have heard in ages.

I've never heard something like this.... i was breathless, had goosebumps and felt like crying from wonder. This is a virtuoso performance and composition. Thank you. I needed something different and this was it.
Огромное спасибо Вам! За то что тронули душу, этой великолепной игрой на музыкальном инструменте, который я вижу впервые в жизни, я обожаю подобную музыку, люблю слушать соло гитарные с закрытыми глазами, представлять как ноты проходят через меня, мурашки по коже, словно идёшь в по речке в маленькой лодке в шторм, чувствую что гитара уже не такой душевный инструмент для меня после увиденного, да что там увиденного, Услышанного! Спасибо!
It's not out of ignorance but I don't know the words to describe how this makes me feel wonderful just doesn't cut it it's not just the music it's the musician that has brought it to life
There is no greater sadness than finding an amazing artist, looking up their tour schedule, and seeing that you missed them by four. fucking. days. Ah well! I am thankful I found you at all. :)
I come back here from time to time, always extremely amazed at what a true master can get out of his instrument. Having an extreme musical talent helps too I guess :)
Stumbled across this today as part of the old algorithm and I have been enthralled. I love the way you shoot your videos in addition to the music itself. Fascinating to watch how you are doing all of the various sounds...doors clapping, etc. Well done!
I came out of a DMT experience and listened to this non stop for the next day. Summarised the whole experience so vividly, words can't describe. Thank you for this!
At $1300 those are the cheaper ones. A gurdy like the one in the video will easily set you back $5000 or more. Don't sell plasma for that, you won't have any left :-)
@@The0nly0neAlive mostly, these instruments are handmade by artisans that have learned for years how to do all this. It's an art and a science in one, and if you calculate hourly wages for highly skilled workers, yeah, these beautiful instruments are worth thousands.
It's kind of a shame that the version on spotify isn't the same version as this. It sounds a lot more studio-produced, more perfect. Always come back to the youtube video just with how raw this is
I'm absolutely speechless, your time and dedication on this song must of been a lot of work.Keep up the good work, just wish someday I could play an instrument like that .
2 words. Holy! Shit! Coming here from Andrey Vinogradov being the only other Hurdy Gurdy player I watch/listen to on RUclips, this was absolutely mind-boggling to watch and reafirms my NEED to get a Hurdy Gurdy and learn to play. From the moment you opened the keyboard and played manually to the raw passion and emotions this song made me feel, I've just been left stunned quite honestly. 20/10 performance, I will be subbing and hitting that notification bell. Good god man that was fucking amazing to hear/watch. Shivers and Chills will not go away!
Tant d'instruments en un ! Impressionnant d'émotions. Bouleversant. Merci à toi à Guilhem, mes oreilles courent découvrir le reste de tes créations/arrangements
This is my first time seeing a Hurdy Gurdy, and unfortunately, I'll never be able to appreciate the instrument as you've done something incredible with pushing this instrument to the limits.
Sir. I got to say, this is the most amazing thing I have seen/heard in my years living on this round ball we call home. You are using this instrument in a way that makes you the sounds and music to compose what you want to deliver. Not to expel your advanced techneek in a high strung way (pun intended). I thourly enjoyed your creative take and sound! I wish you all the best. Keep making what ever you desire. In freedom of expression your creativity is limitless. Best regards "Chap from the Scandinavian north"
1:53 Pretty sure they squeezed half the ambient soundtrack for the Witcher 3 out of a hurdy gurdy because that exact sound plays pretty much whenever you're just sullenly wandering around the wilderness.

The Hurdy Gurdy arguably has the coolest sounds of any folk instrument in the existence of humanity.
To be fair it sounds like he's playing a clarinet at the beginning, a violin at the middle, , and an electric guitar at the end. All with one instrument.
well, its pretty much the fx pedals and electronics in this case.
check out the Bowed Psaltery.
@@limitless_93 You explained it perfectly. Never heard so many different sounds from one instrument (+ the pedals)
@@limitless_93 Because it's electric hurdy-gurdy. You can play any instrument on bass too.
Listen to Andrey Vinogradov's hurdy gurdy. He plays an acoustic one and it's much better than this.
The Hurdy Gurdy is a medieval synthesizer keyboard.

С удовольствием открыл для себя новое! Восторгаюсь мастерством! Спасибо!
Thanks to the RUclips algorithm for recommending this masterpiece🎶🔥🎶
The only music that can make me forget to breathe...
My thoughts exactly. I don't know how you can feel as if your heart is racing and it also stopped at the same time.
I have no words to describe how beautiful this melody is. Beautiful, yes, but also sad? Mournful? It's so well made.
So genius. What an instrument and what a skills of the player
Wanted to buy but most are 1300$....time to sell some plasma
At $1300 those are the cheaper ones. A gurdy like the one in the video will easily set you back $5000 or more. Don't sell plasma for that, you won't have any left :-)
@@ajdegroot1980 holy shit
@@ahlikx6295 haha
@@ajdegroot1980 i mean ye i guess if its like 5 instruments in one
@@The0nly0neAlive mostly, these instruments are handmade by artisans that have learned for years how to do all this. It's an art and a science in one, and if you calculate hourly wages for highly skilled workers, yeah, these beautiful instruments are worth thousands.
A modern virtuoso of a traditional instrument. Most, most excellent.
Едрён батон! Это шедевр! Исполнитель монстр! Проникает до костей, ты крутой чувак!
Saving this for the dramatic reveal in my D&D campaign
It's kind of a shame that the version on spotify isn't the same version as this. It sounds a lot more studio-produced, more perfect. Always come back to the youtube video just with how raw this is
I'm absolutely speechless, your time and dedication on this song must of been a lot of work.Keep up the good work, just wish someday I could play an instrument like that .
This is amazing! Besides the fact that this music pins like ecstasy, my headache also went away. I listened to this 2 times in a row! Thank you!
Now I picture a druid elf chilling in a Cadillac watching the city's nightsky from across a lake.
a Netflix production.
Yep, this would indeed make a great addition to the soundtrack of Bright
@@ajdegroot1980 A better Bright.
While his bitches out there gettin his money !!
La musique qui me fait le plus vibrer depuis bien longtemps ! Bravo à vous !
That "cicatrice" will surely leave a scare to my soul...
That was hauntingly beautiful 🙌
2 words. Holy! Shit! Coming here from Andrey Vinogradov being the only other Hurdy Gurdy player I watch/listen to on RUclips, this was absolutely mind-boggling to watch and reafirms my NEED to get a Hurdy Gurdy and learn to play. From the moment you opened the keyboard and played manually to the raw passion and emotions this song made me feel, I've just been left stunned quite honestly. 20/10 performance, I will be subbing and hitting that notification bell. Good god man that was fucking amazing to hear/watch. Shivers and Chills will not go away!
Never thought you could shred with a crank. But then again, there's a lot of things I didn't know until I saw this video. Incredible work. ❤
Wow, I’m blown away, never heard anything like that.
I can imagine you playing that to a monarch and him abdicating his throne to you.
Second to my son and daughter being born this is one of the best things I've ever seen.
Can't believe the different sounds you were able to produce from one instrument
Tant d'instruments en un ! Impressionnant d'émotions. Bouleversant.
Merci à toi à Guilhem, mes oreilles courent découvrir le reste de tes créations/arrangements
Unbelievable, I've never had seen something like that before - it's amazing.
This is my first time seeing a Hurdy Gurdy, and unfortunately, I'll never be able to appreciate the instrument as you've done something incredible with pushing this instrument to the limits.
This performance is pure perfection.
Beautiful, I listen this song over and over again...
This tune is like a drug. I just keep coming back.
I swear to you, I've listened to this wonderful song over 20 times.
Sir. I got to say, this is the most amazing thing I have seen/heard in my years living on this round ball we call home. You are using this instrument in a way that makes you the sounds and music to compose what you want to deliver. Not to expel your advanced techneek in a high strung way (pun intended). I thourly enjoyed your creative take and sound!
I wish you all the best. Keep making what ever you desire. In freedom of expression your creativity is limitless.
Best regards

It's incredible, I listen to it at least 4-5 times every day. The hand movements and the notes sound and look incredible.
It's like a distorted guitar! Awesome!!!
my favorite part of this instrument is how left hand friendly it is like yes finally something i can try lol
I wish they made a right handed one...
1:53 Pretty sure they squeezed half the ambient soundtrack for the Witcher 3 out of a hurdy gurdy because that exact sound plays pretty much whenever you're just sullenly wandering around the wilderness.
If he played this back in the medieval times, they would think he was the devil himself who played the instrument. I love it!!
So that sounds like he'd be in the same league as Paganini of which they had the same opinion
The guest gurdy used to be known as the Devil's instrument.
Maybe but back then they didn't have a pedal repeater. Still a boss
Wouldn't even have to play music. Those lights on the pedals and computers would be begging for a stoning.
Humans are just as stupid as before, it won't take too much to find such a place.
The energy this tune carries can bend the fabric of time and space. I'm five years younger now
Me: I want to hear some electronic music with violins and electric guitar and just a unique clash.
RUclips: Here's a hurdy gurdy
😊
Thank you RUclips.
when the algorithm gods know you better than you know yourself.
This shit made me laugh
It's an electric hurdy gurdy with a synthesizer tuned to sound as everything EXCEPT hurdy gurdy though.
