this is the height of human evolution imagine the aliens come to see earth and we're just here shitposting and making fun of ourselves and our own creations
This is absolutely breathtaking, its like a mechanical orchestra of memery, if only the original builders knew what their creation is being used for, I bet they're shedding tears of joy even in their graves
What a tremendous honor that their creation reaches millions around the world, numbers that they never imagined, years in the future where technology they didn't even were able to imagine, their machine sounds on.
I was born too late to explore the globe, born too early to explore the galaxy, and yet, future generations will envy the man who witnessed the creation of this artistic masterpiece. Truly, we are living in the best of times.
@@theNWdigital It was hard to create the cardboard that this music was punched on (each panel of cardboard is actually two pieces that are two panels long glued together overlapping with a fold at each gap). It was hard to create the automatic punch that only takes several hours to punch out a chunk of music like this. It was hard to rebuild the organ and replace all the leather, refinish all the wood, shine up the metal, re-glue everything that was glued, re-fabricate parts that were just too far gone... But this all pales to what it took to design and build this machine and create music for it originally back before the age of computers or even electric power tools. This machine predates the first electric hand saw by nearly two decades, and every punch in the original music was punched by hand.
You could play this actual machine at your wedding! It's located at Skyrock Farm in Minnesota, USA, and they do rent the place out for events (assuming covid isn't a problem by then)! Featuring music machines, real horses, an indoor carousel, and beautiful countryside.
@@big0bad0brad just read up on SRF. Interesting place as someone from the UK. What a collection, and RIP to Bill, it looks like a place to visit when I eventually go to the USA.
Alexey, you've thrilled me to the extreme and I'm 66. I wish we could bring one of these wonderful Organs to the State Fairs, specifically the Colorado State Fair. Have someone to let people hear a video in a television-size screen size, so they can get the wonderful affect of hearing this gorgeous machine play!
Then behind the curtain in the Art's Building, people could enjoy your wonderful 100 year old organ. We sure could use something so wonderful to attract people to what once was. Thank you for posting the videos! Our fair has had trouble attacting people, but with a smart ad, I believe you could sell this to the Fairs!
It’s incredible to think that this organ is 113 years old and it still plays fine! I bet it would be pretty emotional for the people who built this if they could see it playing today
This song, this exact cover, has a really amazing story in my Dungeons and Dragons group. I'll proceed to explain it (Beware lot's of text): As a DM I took a different approach one day in a Evil aligned campaign, I let my players design a dungeon, they had to help a BBEG (Big bad evil guy) to stop some goody two shoes adventurers, designing the traps for his lair, the BBEG gave them a budget and everything. In exchange, said BBEG would help them with their main goal, but that's a story for another time. I gave them an empty dungeon except for the first room, which had two big gates made of bars on each side, hidden underground, activated by a pressure place made to bait people into the center, all they did with that room was leaving a pipe organ there. When those heroes came, one PC who was a Mindflayer/Illithid started playing it making a corny typical evil speech. This illithid in question was a cleric of Velsharoon, known for summoning undead creatures. As he finished his speech, the cleric summoned a zombie ogre in the middle of the room,trapping the heroes in the middle of both gates with them. Then, the player who played said cleric, started playing this exact video on our music device. The Illithid rolled a performance check to play said organ. Natural. Fucking. 20. The ogre almost managed to TPK the poor heroes by himself as the cleric kept spouting the most stereotypic villain sentences, overacting as if was reading a script. Needless to say, the rest of the adventurers died in the next room. That zombie ogre was enhanced by a desecrate spell (3.5 ed) and he rolled like a truck, he killed two of them and left the other two crippled both physically and mentally. I've should have made them a bit stronger to make more use of the rest of the dungeon sadly lots of rooms were left unused haha. As a side note, on the table, we were all crying from laughter as I was rolling the fight, while the music played in the background, I almost ran out of air with tears in my eyes.
Could you imagine this song coming out of this thing 100 years ago. Lmao. The mental pictures make me giggle. Thanks again for this amazing work of art.
Alexey, I love your arrangements for these organs. Hearing current music that works so well is an unexpected surprise. Keep more coming please! And you are cute, just value added.
Great arrangement and great ending!!! The synth version also works exceptionally well with this... kind of almost an organ club/house sound. Plz let us know when the acoustic version is up, too. [ v ... more... v ] Thanks in particular for getting some of the harmonic nuances that other people might miss, particularly what I think may be a #11 that creeps into the harmony in both the verse and chorus. That's an important harmonic and emotional coloration that adds depth to the song, and some other people miss it entirely. Some other covers also just bang out the verse melody on one or two notes in kind of a hip-hop style, while the original version uses many more notes than that and is more melodic, another thing you've captured here (since, anyway, these instruments do well with melodies composed of many different notes).
they have one of these next to the Carousel in Santa Cruz CA at the boardwalk. i loved watching it play the music. i have very fond memories as a kid when mom and dad would take us.
It's totally the soundfonts and not the organ. Still a cool version though, but look forward to hearing it on the actual organ. If too much room reverb causing the organ's tones to echo is an issue for playing pop music (which ought to be able to sound crisp when desired), then perhaps Mr. Nunn could get some big soundproof barriers to put up around the organ (like, freestanding sound absorbent panels like found in many recording studios), and hang some sound absorbing drapes from the ceiling and walls, and place them strategically to soak up as much sound from this organ as possible and tighten up the sound? That is something I notice on the actual audio recordings of the organ... TONS of room reverb and not as much definition and clarity. This MIGHT be the reason for going with the sampled organ rather than the live organ. Of course, this organ is DESIGNED to play in a large dance hall, so the room size is appropriate for it and other organs in the collection (some of which actually sound even better outdoors than indoors), but I think for pop music recording purposes this sort of temporary acoustical treatment could work wonders, and still let the organ truly play in all its glory.
Well, idk a lot about organs, but that sheet going into it looks legit, and the notes are in the right place too Edit, and just realised (during the parts where the main part of the organ is used) the rods (what do you call them) are clearly moving the same way as the song, so even if this is fake, it would of taken less effort to of done it for real
@@rexor8527 The organ is 100% real (I helped rebuild it and designed and built the on/off control and light fader system which you can see operating in some videos) and it can play the song - but like mentioned above, the room acoustics don't work the best for this kind of music (but the reverb sounds really awesome on other pieces!) What you're hearing is sampled recordings from the organ playing each note up the scale and percussion, which are set up on a computer to allow the arranger to hear what a song will sound like on the organ "preview" style. Ordinarily this is used to help the arranger write the music and hear what it sounds like without having to have cardboard music cut in order to play a version that's still not right. This costs hours of time on the punch machine (and wasted cardboard that's glued together sheet by sheet BY HAND) for a book of music that's no good. Some of the other organs do have MIDI function to play music via digital input instead of cardboard, and these are more easily tested by just playing on the machine, but it's still work to e-mail the file and do a recording and send that back to the arranger, etc. tl;dr: It sounds very much like the actual organ because it is based on real recordings of each note, but the final output has been stitched together by a computer. While a real recording certainly could be done, this version actually sounds better for this music, without getting extra adventurous with recording techniques.
The same master computer file that the arranger used to punch the music book was also converted into MIDI and played thru sound fonts created by sampling the pipes and percussion of the organ. This audio was synced with video of the organ actually playing the book, although you’re hearing the audio of the computer sound fonts playing, not the organ playing in real time. Same as the “Bohemian Rhapsody” video. Since the sound fonts are actually taken from the organ, it’s close but not the same as hearing it all perform in real time.
New age music sounds quite beautiful on an old age instrument. More beautiful actually I don't think the creators would be disappointed at all. Sounds very festive.
this is the height of human evolution
imagine the aliens come to see earth and we're just here shitposting and making fun of ourselves and our own creations

These organs are honestly more mind blowing than a lot of technology today. The fact that 100 years ago, they designed this is so cool!!!

This organ was built for a good cause. Thank you for uploading the videos of two my favourite songs on this organ. All Star, and Bohemian Rhapsody.
The bass on this damn organ with my headphones on max made me smile and almost killed me at the same time.
