definitely has lo-fi tape loop ambient horror vibes, like something from Hainbach/Stefan Goetsch using a found once-off cut record that was a bit warped from heat.
It sounds like a monster trying and failing to imitate a human in order to lead people to their deaths. Definitely uncanny valley, in a really cool way!
Sets the tone for a man hiding in a very desolate lighthouse on a small island with the outbreak of a mysterious and lethal disease that has caused them to be cut off from the rest of the world.
The sound gives off strong desert vibes to me, but then again the desert is kinda like the sea. The endless shifting waves are made of sand, the ducks are crows, and the albatross is a vulture. Plenty of sunburn.
I feel like I'm listening to an old school or dungeon synth intro to a pirate game where you've just just come across a whirlpool with a Leviathan, and now you've got to make your first decision of the game. This is amazing.
That's beautiful, really. Of course you could still work on the tuning if you wanted, but it already makes (beautiful) music, that's what matters 😊 Thanks for sharing
if imma be honest this would’ve sounded a lot better in tune. but still you’ve got an awesome instrument and im glad for you. Hope to see more content on this, keep it up :)
@@mor-u3d , thank you. I'm surprised that someone didn't complain about the tuning sooner. Whereas the intended tuning is unusual, I was having issues with the tangent board bending and putting the notes out of tune from the intended tuning.
Nice peripheral logic! I know he must already be thinking of ways to control the vibrational frequency of each string on that instrument. Rotational fretboards & fingers.... hmmm.
@@MabInstrumentsSo can you maybe sing Kashmir over it or is it a sea of lag to catch with your voice then? What can those top pickers even do? What if the crank were driven by a regulated idler or massive flywheel and you just got a drag wheel or elastic drag wheel to that that would make up rotation...
@@cheyannei5983 , thank you. The instrument already has two pickups. One humbucker for each of the two strings. I have two distortion pedals, so I could try running the signals from each pickup separately through a distortion pedal, or put the signals from both pickups through the same distortion pedal. Thank you for the suggestion.
I've recorded two short videos of this instrument with two distortion pedals, one for each pickup: ruclips.net/video/HX9fCgPv3oE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Vll25DSqjUc/видео.html Thank you for the suggestion.
Thank you for your interest. I have some videos that explain how to make various parts of this design. I could put together another video that covers the aspects not already covered. In the meanwhile, the following videos cover some aspects: Dulcigurdy explanation: (This includes information about how to make the wheel and the crank.) ruclips.net/video/DIPrd30tqQw/видео.html
Tangent board and key explanation: (This video shows the instrument you are interested in. It shows the detail of the tangents and keyboard for the melody string. The keys, tangents and tangent board for the bass string are similar, but the keys have springs to make them pop back up when they are released and there is a set of metal strips to keep each key in its correct position.) ruclips.net/video/Mc-cz0Wyhxk/видео.html
@@RobertJohnson-gk2gj, it's an instrument related to the hurdy gurdy. The tangent board needs reinforcing to reducing accidental pitch bend in my opinion.
Videos with obscure or handmade instruments are suddenly appearing in my recommended.
I am happy
Me too 👍
same here and I won't complain
Finally! RUclips is going back to it’s roots!

It sounds like an old time movie about the sea, warped and deformed. But i say this in a good way.
@@nicolasferland.cayouette8356 , thank you.
It's a black and white film, where the audio track was damaged; there is a kraken, which is a really cheap puppet.
This guy has been inventing new sounds for 12 years. He deserves so much more attention.
@@Boydar, thank you.
Wow color me subscribed then
I'm a fan of unique powerful ugly sounds, they're so cool
@@Boydar, thank you. I often enjoy sounds and music that are an extreme experience rather than being what might be considered pleasant.
If I heard this without seeing the video, i would have assumed it was recorded from a C64 or DOS game. Wild
Haunting contemplation of the nothingness of the sky reflected on the sea. Outstanding.

This sounds like something from an old silent movie. It gives off a "Cabinet of Caligari" vibe.

absolutely magnificent, sound!! i feel a tone of melancholy and ballad but there is also a goofiness to the instrument's sound i think :)

That's a really unique looking hurdy gurdy. The wheel being on its side gives a pretty cool muffled quality to to it, lovely innovation here!

This piece would absolutely have a place in the OST of Dredge, the game. Murky, deep, ominous. Super special!
I need to hire him/her/it to play at my funeral.
I will be glad to, as long as I don't have to fly to it.
absolutely gorgeous
Thank you.
I'm in love, inspired, impressed...

This is so cool! And it's a nice tune, and comes out really interestingly on this hurdy-gurdy. I like it a lot!

Have you though of powering the Gurdy with a treadle sewing machine mech?
@@blablabla6-k2d, yes. I have conducted some experiments in that direction, but so far have nothing I am happy with.

The part from 0:44 to 1:03 reminds me of a part in Tubular Bells pt.1 by Mike Oldfield!

what is the tuning?
@@billwesley , the intended tuning was 1, 12/11, 5/4, 11/8, 3/2, 18/11, 11/6, 2, but I probably didn't manage that in practice.
