It is so different from other instruments in that the sounds it creates can actually create some sense of dread. Explains why some horror movies have used it
It's doors creaking, pianos ringing in the night, monsters guterral breathing in the distance, cries of ghost children, thunder, footsteps in an empty house, loud heartbeats, and clocks ticking out of time, alien beings from the darkest planets in the universe, mutant wolves howling, demons raising from hell, and machinery come to life. That's just the first 2 minutes. That's what makes this machine so eerie.
Anyone who is into this kind of music should check out dark ambient music. I would start with Svarte Greiner and Atrium Carceri, and his label Cryo Chamber. Have fun!
@@_AGONY you know that the individual violins used in orchestras that score horror movies also cost around 10K each, right? Studios wouldn't buy an apprehension engine. They would hire composers to score their films and the composer may choose to use this machine.
I fell in love with the Engine two weeks ago after reading an interview with Trent Reznor. The Engine is more than just an instrument, it is a modern work of art! Unfortunately the price for a true Engine is far out of my reach, but I'm going to try to build something similar over the summer. Thanks for a great instrument and great performances!
Thanks so much. Definitely build your own. That's the spirit of this whole thing. To find your own creative voice by going beyond traditional instruments. Customize. Add new things. Explore the possibilities. Have fun!!!
At music school we had classes about contemporary music, including authors like Xenakis, Varèse, Henry, Stockhausen, Boulez... This is video shows their legacy.
Music free of melody and harmony, forced endings, opinions, celebrity, false promises, rigidity, and overbearing personality- that's why many of us find this soothing.
Brilliant. Powerful. I'm glad I didn't die of covid so I could hear Apprehension in Quarantine. I'm listening toward the midnight hour with headphones but I can't wait to plug in speakers.
I would happily buy an album worth of this. That would be better than playing this one track over and over again (which is what I'm currently doing) :) Love your soundtracks btw!
I'm in the process of getting a custom amplifier built for me, a replica of a vintage Sunn Model T, which is a beast in its own right. After, I'll be trying to come up with similar sounds via my modified Telecaster, pedals, violin bow/e-bow and a looper etc., and I plan on adding a Matamp GT120 for stereo effect. Thank you for your inspiration.
@INDIE FILM MAKER Are you Mark Koven? If so, you're soundtrack for the movie Cube is amazing especially the main theme of the film called ''Escape''. Thank you for the wonderful soundtrack!
I built my own version of this, from stuff I had laying around and picked up cheap at flea markets, etc. It isn't as awesome as this one, but it was a fun project to build.
Wish Dr Who would be scored by this. Verity Lambert did want experimental music as an integral part of the program. It needs to get otherworldly like this !
They seriously need to put up a *WARNING* or an age restricted advice visual at the start of this video before viewers/listeners preceding to listen to some of the MOST scariest sounds ever recorded which featured on here. If you dare! and do so in complete darkness either with a decent set of speakers or ear/headphones you are going to have the thrill of your life!
The sound from this instrument is fantastic. I had not heard of one of these before. Can you let me know if it is possible to use some of this as a sound effect in play I am directing? Happy to consult with the creator about a payment. Please let me know who to contact
To Anyone who complains about MRI noises I dare y'all to listen to this for 45 minutes straight in a cold cramped space where you can't move. The doctor's interludes would be the worst.
Thanks! I use 3 little boss looping pedals. One for the E-bow, one for ambient sounds, and one for rhythmic sounds. They don't run in sync and are completely independent, the way I like it!
Are you running this into any effects pedals other than your loopers? I see a pickup there but how do you capture the other sounds? Are there mic’d built in or how does that work?
Hi Tony. Yes, I'm using an Eventide harmonizer on the E-bow string with a custom built distortion box. Also a reverb and a boss EQ pedal. The box sounds are captured with built in contact pickups
Sure. I'm using 3 little Boss looping pedals. Once for Rhythmic loops, one for Textural Loops, and one hooked up to my E-bow string. I did it that way so that I had 3 completely independent loops.
@@indiefilmandmusic Thank you so much for the speedy response! The Boss RC loopers aren't synchronised then, I suppose. All the more impressive! Absolutely wonderful, evocative music.
Benjamin Fowler hi Benjamin. The piezo’s are on one output, the single coil on another, and the spring reverb on another. For the video, I ran the mix through a stereo modulator to give it some spread.

Imagine this being played live against a silent horror film. Wow.
Can we get a Tom Waits collaboration?... "What's he building in there"?
Ever since I learned about the apprehension engine it trapped me, I can't quite explain it but it is super interesting
It is ... haunting
It is so different from other instruments in that the sounds it creates can actually create some sense of dread. Explains why some horror movies have used it
@Tristan M woow i didn't but I just looked for it and maaan, that's also super cool, I really felt that chilling sensation when I heard it, thanks
Same here, I just found out about this instrument and it is really attracting me, I can't explain it either.
This helps me sleep -- I think I might need help.
dude i listened to this before sleep and then i woke up at 2:30 .that sound was unnecesarily loud
Man, its beautiful - thats why. No worries!
I love dark ambient music. It makes me feel chill.
Idk if listening to this in the dark is a good idea, but it is what it is.
IT IS WHAT IT ISSSS

Imagine being a Bard in a D&D game with this as your instrument.
*enters forest*
Bard: Alrighty let me play some music to buff our perception!
The music:
@@BerryCrzy: I'm pretty sure it starts out being able to cast an epic-level Induce Fear on any and all targets as a free action.
sdfkjgh and then you ruined the joke
thats how you multiclass into warlock
I'll be taking that thank you.
Why do i find this so....relaxing?
Hah! Me too.
Playing this and an Aztec death whistle together would be nightmare fuel.
This is hauntingly beautiful
Thanks Jonathan.

It's soothing vecause you know what is making the sounds, and it can't hurt you.
Making an apprehension engine for myself is something I would love to do. The sounds it makes are so soothing.
Me too. Controlling buzz and hum must be a challenge.
i bet you also think the sounds of peeling flesh are soothing
@@justinayers3589 No. What?
This is one of the greatest things and peformances I ever witnessed in my life.
More producers of movies and gaming needs to hire you! Something about this contraption just hits home for the horror genre!
Most Producers in movies and games have other people that have the same thing or similar instruments to create the same genre.
@@sikntired3900 And they also don't charge $10,000 for the instrument itself either.
@@_AGONY you know that the individual violins used in orchestras that score horror movies also cost around 10K each, right? Studios wouldn't buy an apprehension engine. They would hire composers to score their films and the composer may choose to use this machine.

@@indiefilmandmusic is there any guidelines where i can look in as a beginner :) like what sort of microphones and amps etc?
@@ahzootube Hi, there is an apprehension engine facebook group that you could check out. Lots of folks building their own.
At music school we had classes about contemporary music, including authors like Xenakis, Varèse, Henry, Stockhausen, Boulez... This is video shows their legacy.
When you're an eldritch horror but you also love asmr
Music free of melody and harmony, forced endings, opinions, celebrity, false promises, rigidity, and overbearing personality- that's why many of us find this soothing.
Trent Reznor could make a platinum record using only this
Trent actually owns one now. He said that, "it sounds kind of shitty".
I actualy love this music
WHYYYYY did I not know about this instrument before?
This is straight up ASMR for horror aficionados.
#Subscribed
Tab of acid, locked in a room of pitch darkness with this playing ❤️
So beautiful and hypnotizing. Wonderful work!
Thanks Adam!
10:30 the siren sounds are nice and horrific i love it!
This would be perfect for a siren head move
the perfect instrument, for shivering moments!!! :) i love it!!
An absolute master of your craft! This is a beautiful machine and you really know how to show off your talent.
Ah shucks, thanks! Glad you enjoyed the vid.
Beautiful machine and music, very inspiring for me
I loved the whole performance from start to finish thanks. Greetings from Mexico
Thank you Marco!
This is so hauntingly eerie. It's beautiful. Unique.
Fantastic! Now we need a rendition of "...Baby One More Time"
Listening to this in the dark while I go into the kitchen is utterly terrifying, especially if I’m not alone.
Hi Bill. Thanks for the comment. BTW, I came so very, very close to composing the IT score. Loved your performance though!
@@indiefilmandmusic You should have! I’d love to have heard the composure of it.
@@ElvisPresIey you're not the real bill shut up
@@Orkida11 This is why I don't have social media lol.
@@ElvisPresIey shut up bill will never talk like that !
Thank you very much for this vid! You Sir have done great work,my gosh man that's impressive!
This.. is very beautiful, a wonderfully crafted instrument..
Thank you for your excellent soundtracks and - of course - for sharing this!
It's fascinating to watch you work the Engine.
Stay healthy!
Thanks so much! You too.

@@indiefilmandmusic Following your BandCamp page in anticipation!
I can imagine an entire movie if i close my eyes!
Fantastic performance Mark!!
Thanks very much Drew. I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
Wow. That was literally mesmerizing. Thank you.
You're most welcome!
This guy is my hero. I love all the comments on the side of the instrument.
Every second of this is gold.
I was wondering what the ending would be like the whole time. Very nice. Sounds like an alien abduction.
Something about the Lollipop being pink just makes this even more perfect.
Atmospheric landscapes of doom.
those first few sounds make me think of giant whales made out of wooden planks, like old rotten pirate ships that have come back to life.
This is my favorite instrument.
knowing that this is the kind of musical atmosphere that'll be in the Calisto Protocol is extremely exciting.
It gives me goosebumbs 😁
I love it
Love this instrument / engine. Been sampling a bit of it for my music. I make very low end inspired and horror inspired bass music. Love this so much
I've been waiting for a new video for months and it was so worth it. Thank you for this, Mr. Korven
I'm in the process of getting a custom amplifier built for me, a replica of a vintage Sunn Model T, which is a beast in its own right.

Quick somebody write two sentence horror stories to go with this
There was a Guy so Horrible looking everybody died...
End.
Chicken is still in the fridge
Spring has arrived in the year 2021. 2020 is starting look like it was a good year.
You never think those stories are scary until you look up to the ceiling and see eyes staring back. DON’T LOOK UP! I warned you.
Your mother in law is coming over tomorrow.
@INDIE FILM MAKER Are you Mark Koven? If so, you're soundtrack for the movie Cube is amazing especially the main theme of the film called ''Escape''. Thank you for the wonderful soundtrack!
You're welcome!
Your work is phenomenal!
Magnificent!
You need to bring this to an open-minded death metal band. I'm not joking by the way. Pendereski has passed away. It's the next logical step.
ur work on the black phone is insanely inspiring much love
I built my own version of this, from stuff I had laying around and picked up cheap at flea markets, etc. It isn't as awesome as this one, but it was a fun project to build.
Wish Dr Who would be scored by this. Verity Lambert did want experimental music as an integral part of the program. It needs to get otherworldly like this !
I don't want to act or sound like I know where this music belongs, but it almost sounds like it would do wonders to give more horror to WW2 movies
Yes
Christ. Imagine you go out for an evening stroll and this guy is practising in the woods nearby.
"Billie! Stop that horrible racket and come down to dinner"!!
This is the epitome of Death Metal.
I stopped stealing years ago but I'd make an exception if I ever saw this thing left unattended
Honestly, forget those 7 people, this is legit!

Thanks so much!
Tbh sometimes I’ll listen to ur stuff as ambience. It’s kinda... nice?
WOW amazing noises! its great music, and nive video! thx!!!!
What a great performance! I love how otherworldly the engine can sound. What is being used to loop the audio here? :-)
Thanks! I use 3 little boss looping pedals. One for the E-bow, one for ambient sounds, and one for rhythmic sounds. They don't run in sync and are completely independent, the way I like it!

Thank you !
amazing
The real DJ
Very noice, very Silent Hill esque.
love it! want to run it through a make noise strega!
I need one of these.
Звук потрясно страшный. Прям жуткий. Прекрасно сделанный инструмент
GOING TO MAKE ONE TOMORROW
i cant stop listening
absolutely moggs any DJ
I got a reel nightmare machine in my basement 😈
I need to build this :D
That's good sh*t m'boi.
sweet

What's the waterphone
@@INFINITESYKOSIS Check out Waterphone Demo: Waters-Hubbert on RUclips. It's really creepy and cool
@@chrisfurniss02 👍
Yes.
Was this instrument used to compose for The Witch and The Lighthouse?
Hi Ian. No, it was created after The Witch, but was inspired by it. I used only a tiny bit of it for The Lighthouse.
This is the weirdest ASMR I've ever watched!
May I ask what you're using as a looper for the sounds? I like its slight high frequency rolloff
Sure. I'm using 3 little Boss looping pedals. Once for Rhythmic loops, one for Textural Loops, and one hooked up to my E-bow string. I did it that way so that I had 3 completely independent loops.
