In case anyone is wondering, the extra bell playing at the end of the automatic carillon performance is the hour strike for the clock, which is why it is a totally separate train and weight and otherwise makes no musical sense. This turret or tower clock mechanism appears to have three trains: music on the left, timekeeping in the center (with verge and foliot escapement), and hour strike on the right. Of course, any other clock enthusiast will recognize this right away, I just didn't see a comment like this yet so thought I'd leave one. Great video and nice piece and performance, thanks!
There are even towers with clocks wich have multiple trains, like one for the clock, one for the music on the quarters, one for the hour an one for the half our. I think St.Rumboldstower in Mechelen is a good example for that.
But people actually build such stuff at that time as we can see in this video. But none of them are famous. And those old machines did not need microphones and stuff. Sooo, not really.
I'm a simple man. I see a talented individual sharing information about our past in a fun, engaging way, I subscribe and like the video. There's not enough people like you, Martin. Keep at it!
@@spelkult I'm carillonist and I know more mechical drums like this. I like winding drums, but they can never play with nuances. It shall always play very strictly and with the same volume.
The modern day equivalent allowing play with feelings would use computer-driven solenoids where timing and strength could be adjusted. It should be possible to make lifters for a wheel where each programming tab or whatever they are called may have different height, to adjust how hard the hammer hits. But wiyh index holes, I guess it would be very hard to get enough timing resolution to replicate human play - instead of fitted using index holes, the programming tabs would need to be fixated at arbitrary locations. Possible if it isn't one wheel but many narrow cylinders and the programming tabs reaches around the side to just fixate them by friction.
This man is a musical GENIUS hands down, to watch him play any instrument is an absolute joy, not to mention his skill set on knowing how to create instruments is pure ingenuity at its finest. Can you imagine what he will create in the future, so if you ever have the chance get his autograph.
Wintergatan there's a person who plays a carillon called Cast in Bronze here in the USA he travels between Renaissance festivals and around the globe with it and i think it weighs around 14 tons or about 12.7 metric tons. He plays covers of O Fortuna, Christmas songs and others as well. One thing that i find very interesting about his is that his Bass bells use an organ like mechanism where you play them with your feet. I thought that it would be interesting to you to know someone plays this still and is quite skilled at it check him out he has a website I hope you find interesting castinbronze.net/about-cast-in-bronze/ And i bet he would be happy to know a musician such as your self enjoys him and his music.
Martin, in my humble opinion I consider you no less than Leonardo. You not only invent your own "tools", but you are an amazing artist with them (and with other instruments) as well. It moved me seeing you play a 500 year instrument with such an exquisite musicality, just as if you were contemporary to it. Kudos to you, man. I hope to meet you one day.
Since I've heard the story about the Carillon on the Tour in the Museum, I can't ignore the music anymore from the clock tower in my city. I'm impressed by how it works and I actually stopped this morning when I heard it and stood there, listening :)
_"Internet bandwidth was very low during the Renaissance"_ Actually I believe they had a very large _pier to pier_ network in the Netherlands during this time.
We have one in the city hall where I live and you can regularly hear it playing adaptations of modern music. And since the composition has to be a bit different it can at times be quite a challenge to figure out the tune.
Konzetsu Oh my goodness! In which city do you say you live? I might have heard one of these at Pachuca, Hidalgo, México. They have a clock tower at the Downtown Plaza, and I suspect it might be a Carillon. They've never played modern music so far as I know, but I think it might be awesome! Cheers!
Norrköping, Sweden. The Carillion had 35 bells, (4,5 octaves) but was expanded with 13 additional bells to a total of 48. they play 2 tunes a day (double wheels i guess) that they switch up now and then. And it occasionally happens that they play live. And for the Swedish people, current tunes are Det var dans bort i vägen, Fröding/Lambert Sjösala vals, E. Taube Not exactly pop right now, but Ive heard Aqualung, Wonderwall and Daft Punk to name a few other through the years.
Konzetsu usually for multiple tunes, you either have just a very large drum (so one tune is half of the drum) or it's a little offset, just like on an eight track cassette - so you have tune 1 note A, then tune 2 note A, then tune 1 note B, tune 2 note B, etc. so you can switch tunes by simply shifting the drum a tiny little bit.
really really loving this series, i have a strange fascination with music boxes and street organs that actually started with a pair of shoes ! visiting this museum is now on my bucket list
I was fortunate to hear a carillon concert in Brugge recently. If you haven't been to Brugge, I would recommend it as the city has a wonderful vibe, the history and heritage is taken seriously but they are also keen on community events such as free rock concerts in the city - a great balance for a tourist like me! Anyway, throughout the summer they have frequent concerts on the great carillon in the Belfrey in the market square with guest carilloneurs. I cannot recommend it enough!!!
The first time I came across a Carillon was when we visited Oslo - the town hall has one in its tower. We were lucky enough to be visiting the city on a day where there was tours around the town hall - which included going up to the bell tower and also to see the 'pianist' playing a concert on the bells. The biggest bell on that tower was 4000KGs. Definitely worth trying to see it in action if you visit there.
F-Yeah Carillon!!! My university has a 4-octave carillon and I’ve taken a class to learn to play it, so now I can go up there and rock the bells whenever I want! Ours is more modern and the tower is a pretty tight space, so the keyboard (with handles and pedals) is in a room below the bells with the cables going through the ceiling, and it doesn’t have a program wheel. Instead, a computerized system was added later that can play automated chimes every 15 minutes, and simple programmed melodies. It’s convenient, but not nearly as cool as the programming wheel shown here.
It is great to see a woman who knows her stuff and the correct terms in its original meaning. I can not only see, but hear her passion for these mechanical machines as she talks with facial expressions. It is very rare today and very beautiful.
If it wasn't for you Martin. I would never found that museum. Now I want to take a trip just to see. Thank you for your help. Love your videos. Even this was nothing I was thinking as interesting. But after your marble machine and made me wach more of your videos and now I'm so fascinated... Thank you Martin
Thank you for sharing! We have a Carillon here in Georgia, USA at Stone Mountain Park. I am not entirely sure of its mechanics, but I do know it is controlled by what looks like an organ keyboard and is a long distance from the bells.
Carillons are common in continental europe, but in Britain if you hear music being played on church bells, it's probably change ringing. Chimes are still automated though, and use a system of a wheel and pegs to pull on hammers, similar to the carillon we see here.
I can see your Wording is more geared to a younger audience. That's pretty good actually ! Need more younger people being inspired to invent things instead of just rushing to die in a 9-5 hampster wheel all their life.
To a younger audience or to people whose first language isn’t English and/or don’t have much knowledge about musical instruments. I like how things are explained, simple and understandable :)
Lovely! I love sitting in a park listening to a Carillon. I think it's one of the most magical sounds. I wish there were more of them and more "concerts" with them.
haunting when the vibrations of those old bells hits a sour note but then a higher note creates a harmony of discord that seems to balance out into a sweet sounding resonance. lovely in a way, I guess the way i find it slightly jarring,is the same way anyone from a few hundred years ago would probably view the sound of a heavily distorted guitar or an electronic bass track with high attack and gain.
I want you to seriously consider moving into a house with a tower that can fit a carillon. Think about the community service and public relations value!
Music you carry in your heart and soul. Your passion shines in your eyes every time an instrument is in front of you. Hopefully you can create your machine and I can see it working. I wish you from the heart. Greetings from Argentina
maybe.... maaaybe... if you watch the video until the end, you will see a black square with a musical note in the uper right corner. it will send you to his website, where you can buy any of his melodies... But you can listen for free too... Dig there, maybe that melody is already in there... greetings!
I have to say that the pronunciation of 'Speelklok' is perfect! which may not sound like a big thing but Dutch can be very annoying and difficult when it comes to pronunciations.
i dont have a decent version good enough yet, its really scrappy as a whole, but by the end of the series i think i should edit it into a decent fullength version and put it on bandcamp!
They think the first carillon was build for Oudenaarde (Flemish city, Belgium). I'm a carillon player. You played well for A first improvisation on a carillon.
On your tour, you should find Carillons in cities where you'll be playing a show, and play the melody of the marble machine song on them first. I just really like the idea of playing your very unique and modern music on each place's own antique instrument.
In french it's also carillon, Sagolel. Carillion is just a misspelling in either french or english. Maybe it's the right way to write it in some other language.
I really like this video series! :) The way you explain how the instruments work and demonstrate them is just perfect. I'm lucky enough to live not far from the museum and I love the way they cherish the instruments. Keep these great videos coming, and I hope you'll be doing a video on one of the museum's majestic dance organs one day.
robinchwan You could come in contact with people who might like to build it. There surely might be some place somewhere on the Internet. You might as well make blueprints to convince them. Have a lovely day. Cheers!
Bravo! Wonderful improvisation on the Carillon, and thanks for showing all these instruments. I'm unlikely to be able to visit the museum anytime soon so this is a treat.
first. hehe.
lois tonen second
Programming drum has a better ring to it! Repinnable musical drum just doesnt roll of the tongue!
Yes, programming drum is more catchy!
Lois, just curiosity but... you play some "not mechanical" instrument?
0:47 What's happening here, Lois? XD
Btw, thanks to you, Martin and all the Speelklok to let the "world" getting know this masterpieces
"Im gonna make an improvisation..."
- *Makes* *a* *beautiful* *song* -
Sounded like you are my sunshine
Can't play a wrong note on this instrument!
"Internet bandwidth was really low during the renaissance."
That made me giggle.
Only 72p videos back then.
Well with my router it still caps at 144p -_-
Gary Thompson lol
The Salty Artist they didn't have have Microsofts
windows they had DaVincis Shutters...
it's tru tho !

Thanks for the clarification! I suspected that was what it was for, but didn't notice the timekeeping in the center at all. That's really interesting.
There are even towers with clocks wich have multiple trains, like one for the clock, one for the music on the quarters, one for the hour an one for the half our.
I think St.Rumboldstower in Mechelen is a good example for that.
"I'll improvise something" - creates a new classical music piece on the go
"Internet bandwidth was low in renaissance." Never thought I'd hear that sentence but I'm glad it exists.
If Martin had lived 500 years ago and built something like the marbe machine...he would have been famous today
Let's hope he'll be in 500 years!
probably executed for use of magic
Kk That was only for women, to uproot their healer roles in pagan culture.
But people actually build such stuff at that time as we can see in this video. But none of them are famous. And those old machines did not need microphones and stuff.
Sooo, not really.
52,424,745 views, 1,100,266 likes on the Marble Machine video, as of this moment. That's a bit of fame.
That improvised piece sent quite a few shivers down my spine.
Monsieur Jacques it was pretty good, same for me
Monsieur Jacques Same thoughts, god damn, the chills came in hard.
No one has rocked the bells as hard as him since Quasimodo.
this comment did not age well
and maybe someday you might see me in a glossy photo 👏
I'm a simple man. I see a talented individual sharing information about our past in a fun, engaging way, I subscribe and like the video. There's not enough people like you, Martin. Keep at it!
That improv tune was very beautiful. If you made it into a full song or a music box or something, I would totally buy it.
i was gana say the same thing like maby played with a chello and some drums
The improvisation was better than the song on the programing wheel :)
Of course! The wheel can't play with musical feeling. ;-)
@@foekevanacker9064: If it were programmed exactly after a performance "with feeling" it surely would have.
@@spelkult I'm carillonist and I know more mechical drums like this. I like winding drums, but they can never play with nuances. It shall always play very strictly and with the same volume.
The modern day equivalent allowing play with feelings would use computer-driven solenoids where timing and strength could be adjusted.
It should be possible to make lifters for a wheel where each programming tab or whatever they are called may have different height, to adjust how hard the hammer hits. But wiyh index holes, I guess it would be very hard to get enough timing resolution to replicate human play - instead of fitted using index holes, the programming tabs would need to be fixated at arbitrary locations. Possible if it isn't one wheel but many narrow cylinders and the programming tabs reaches around the side to just fixate them by friction.
Savage xD

*Plays for the first time, and it's better than any music on the instrument I have ever heard*
KK Icons he is the king of music theory what do you think 😅😅😅
"It was so easy to see how it worked." I envy his abilities, but how fortunate is the world to have people with such ingenuity.
regarding the spelling: In netherlands it should be carillon so i wrote it wrong inside the video! english wikipedia is also carillon i think
Don't you mean: In Dutch it should be...? Well, literaly translated it is right, in Dutch we say 'in het Nederlands' but in English it is different :p
The dutch word is beiaard

40's Gaming , Yes, I've seen him play several times, at a faire.
The real question is where did you people find the extra i/y in the word carillon to pronounce it as carillyun/carillion.....
Martin, in my humble opinion I consider you no less than Leonardo. You not only invent your own "tools", but you are an amazing artist with them (and with other instruments) as well.

Digging the educational nature of this series.
that improvisation on the carillon was beautiful
That was a very thoughtful melody for something improvised, I like how you chose intervals befitting of Glocken.
That was improvised?!? wow, really impressive!
My church has a Carillon bell tower. In Texas we call it a Care-a-lawn. It sounds wonderful.
4:57 you played the Carillon so beautifully!! It's magical.
really really loving this series, i have a strange fascination with music boxes and street organs that actually started with a pair of shoes ! visiting this museum is now on my bucket list
There are various mechanical music societies you can join if you're interested in these instruments, like MBSI, AMICA, MBSGB, GSM, KDV, etc.
Yeah... carrier pigeons didn't have good download speed.
Those wonderful machines and all the effort on them makes you love even more music.
Thanks for doing these videos.
Dude... improv on carillon...
you're a wizard....

"and they couldn't even watch matthias wandel videos on youtube" lol
That part at 4:45 is absolutely gorgeous!
Another great video from Martin :D
Loved this! I don’t think there is anything Martin can’t play. Bravo
That, dear friends, is quality content!

"Oh, just lemme improvise something on this random instrument" o.0
You are literally a musical genius *-* your videos kinda give me hope and make me so happy. Always. I wish you the best.
4:19 you can see how excited he gets when she explains how you can play it manually
If it wasn't for you Martin. I would never found that museum. Now I want to take a trip just to see. Thank you for your help.
Love your videos. Even this was nothing I was thinking as interesting. But after your marble machine and made me wach more of your videos and now I'm so fascinated... Thank you Martin
In the renaissance the Internet was so slow that it will take almost 600 years to download an image!
I love this guy. He has it all.
Ein Mädchen Oder Weibchen, one of my favorite Mozart works to sing!
this series is much more entertaining than i thought it would be!
excited for next monday!
+1 for mentioning Renaissance bandwidth
+1 for mentioning Matthias' gear program
+1 for talking them into doing the improv
Thank you for sharing! We have a Carillon here in Georgia, USA at Stone Mountain Park. I am not entirely sure of its mechanics, but I do know it is controlled by what looks like an organ keyboard and is a long distance from the bells.
Ah! It is electric. www.grantbob.com/2007/05/inside-carillon.html?m=1
Very nice!! I would love to hear the pipe organ in the background also.
Brilliant machines Carrilons are! Loughborough Carrillon is amazing! Sir Edward Elgar even wrote music for its unveiling!
500 year old music machine and it works. Today I get overjoyed if I get an mp3 player to last 3 years.
or if a phone last for 2
This is a great video. Thanks for showing and explaining the various ways that it is played.
I also enjoy your humor.
3:45 Ladies and gentlemen, the understatement of the year.
Can't wait for the next episode, This is awesome Martin.
Thanks for sharing these awesome pieces of musical history.
I always knew this bell tower instrument as a "carrilon." Probably another difference between US/UK English similar to "aluminum/aluminium."
What an interesting channel. I'm so glad that a short video of the marble machine brought me to being a subscriber to such beauty in engineering.
Upvote for yet another Matthias reference.
Hah i thought that was so neat! like "wow, I've watched his videos, i know who that is, i know stuff"
I think I need stitches on my chin because my jaw just hit the floor after that short piece you just played!
Dude.. imagine playing the marble machine song on that machine
Liam Davis and you got your wish
Wonderful and magical machines... :-) The world needs more of this!!! Thank you!!!
I see the real reason you like this museum so much. Lois is adorable.
Carillons are common in continental europe, but in Britain if you hear music being played on church bells, it's probably change ringing. Chimes are still automated though, and use a system of a wheel and pegs to pull on hammers, similar to the carillon we see here.

The Livid Dead yes sir!
To a younger audience or to people whose first language isn’t English and/or don’t have much knowledge about musical instruments.
I like how things are explained, simple and understandable :)
The Livid Dead Are you a native English speaker?
But also its not patronising or boring in any way, as a young adult its awesome, can't wait for the next one!
More "geared"? Eh? Eh? Get it?
Lovely! I love sitting in a park listening to a Carillon. I think it's one of the most magical sounds. I wish there were more of them and more "concerts" with them.
Could someone talented enough transcribe that improv to the piano? It's so beautiful
Awesome! I really need to visit this museum, I live in Utrecht! :)
This reminds me of that tower in pokemon rise of darkrai
Rand Art I really need a video of one of these playing Oracion.
haunting when the vibrations of those old bells hits a sour note but then a higher note creates a harmony of discord that seems to balance out into a sweet sounding resonance. lovely in a way, I guess the way i find it slightly jarring,is the same way anyone from a few hundred years ago would probably view the sound of a heavily distorted guitar or an electronic bass track with high attack and gain.
I want you to seriously consider moving into a house with a tower that can fit a carillon. Think about the community service and public relations value!
Music you carry in your heart and soul. Your passion shines in your eyes every time an instrument is in front of you. Hopefully you can create your machine and I can see it working. I wish you from the heart. Greetings from Argentina
What a charming instrument, or should I say *chime-ing* haha! #clockpuns
i love the production quality on these videos, they deserve even more views than they are getting keep up the absolutely awesome work
3:05 song please? i really like it
Same
i think he makes unique music beats per videos or variations of others.
pretty sure that was using the same beat as the bells were too
Hoon Key lee Wadude dancestorm
maybe.... maaaybe... if you watch the video until the end, you will see a black square with a musical note in the uper right corner. it will send you to his website, where you can buy any of his melodies... But you can listen for free too... Dig there, maybe that melody is already in there... greetings!
Lately I´m watching the vids two or three times in a row
You´re awesome!!
yeep, I'm early!
*_This is so cool!_*
I've been loving what you have done with your channel. great show!
I remember when the internet connection became better in the late 1800s
Fantastic series - every video is interesting and enjoyable. Thank you!
I have to say that the pronunciation of 'Speelklok' is perfect! which may not sound like a big thing but Dutch can be very annoying and difficult when it comes to pronunciations.
Chris W well, he is Swedish and both languages are pretty close
Best Dethklok cover band ever.
Liquid 4 Swedish and Dutch are very different, im dutch and I cant speak a single word of Swedish
Haha if your english it is
Its verry fun to hear english people saying dutch words when your dutch yourself😂😂😂
I loooove this series!! Thank you so much for making it! This may be my new favourite channel on yt
Damn I want that Outro Song... Is it on bandcamp?
ScribbleLP same!
Me too!
I think it's gonna be in their next record. Ikr, I can't wait.
i dont have a decent version good enough yet, its really scrappy as a whole, but by the end of the series i think i should edit it into a decent fullength version and put it on bandcamp!
Wintergatan The song is really good! Keep up the good work!
This channel is amazing!
keep doing what you guys do, entertain us through music and knowledge.
Big up from Denmark
Would be AWESOME to hear the Carillion play the Game of Thrones theme!
I can imagine Martin as a documentary presenter on the TV. He speaks with such enthusiasm. It's great!
Ya know what else happened 500 years ago? A dozen bell ringers would replaced by a machine and put out of work.
You are a genius, you know?
Thank you for all things you share! It's just amazing!
When can I buy "Improvisation on Carillion"?
Astoundingly good improvisation song!
4:59 i remembered about donkey kong main theme
They think the first carillon was build for Oudenaarde (Flemish city, Belgium). I'm a carillon player. You played well for A first improvisation on a carillon.
On your tour, you should find Carillons in cities where you'll be playing a show, and play the melody of the marble machine song on them first. I just really like the idea of playing your very unique and modern music on each place's own antique instrument.
Should the video title say 'carillion'? It says 'carillon' at the moment.
carillon is correct, not carillion. It's french
In french it's also carillon, Sagolel.
Carillion is just a misspelling in either french or english. Maybe it's the right way to write it in some other language.
It's carillon in Dutch ;)
I really like this video series! :) The way you explain how the instruments work and demonstrate them is just perfect. I'm lucky enough to live not far from the museum and I love the way they cherish the instruments. Keep these great videos coming, and I hope you'll be doing a video on one of the museum's majestic dance organs one day.
If i had the money i would build my own instrument. Got a really good idea for one :/
robinchwan You could come in contact with people who might like to build it. There surely might be some place somewhere on the Internet. You might as well make blueprints to convince them.
Have a lovely day.
Cheers!
Bravo! Wonderful improvisation on the Carillon, and thanks for showing all these instruments. I'm unlikely to be able to visit the museum anytime soon so this is a treat.
