    i took down 665 as it gave me the heeby jeeby's.
    if you look back to the first video (i cant remember which) i put the organ hymn board in you'll see the full list.
    Organ Playlist is here, (warning, if you haven't seen it yet, its quite the journey haha) :-

    This sounds straight out of glass works by Philip Glass in the absolute best of ways. Awesome stuff.

    • @DynamicRockers
      @DynamicRockers Год назад +29

      spot on! Same vibe as Koyaanisqatsi. A choir of furbies would be great on top of the organ arpeggios :)

    • @LeonardTavast
      @LeonardTavast Год назад +12

      Oh yes! I would love to see Sam arrange Koyaanisqatsi for this organ. The Grid in particular would be a good piece for it if the organ valves can keep up with the fast pace (it's originally composed for electric organs).
      I think I heard something sounding like 1998 by Binary Finary at the end.

    The LEDs per pipe were a stroke of genius, it really wouldn't be the same experience without seeing which ones are playing!

    • @pauljs75
      @pauljs75 Год назад +11

      Not just for show (which is definitely nice), but they serve a practical diagnostic role as well. It quickly shows if the control voltage is reaching the valve for a given pipe. And that lets you figure out if the problem is with the note signal or the valve. And it was suggested in the comments before implementation - however it's probably something that would have been done anyways given that it looks as cool as it is useful. It's part of collaboration making this musical venture more awesome.

    Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack, specfically Vessels, by Phillip Glass, is what it reminds me of. Which is what Hans was riffing on for Interstellar for sure... anyway, brilliant organ work on your end, as always. Thanks for sharing what you do!
    EDIT: or maybe Prophecies, off the same soundtrack. Or The Grid. Kind of a mashup of all the best film arps.

  • @mystica-subs
    @mystica-subs Год назад +4

    I am unable to properly express how much this creation moves me.. From the months of getting the organ, assembling it, and making it play as well as it does now, to the song evoking the many collaborations of Philip Glass and Godfrey Reggio, I am at a loss for words. SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!

  • @Bata9999

    I cannot describe how much I love this 😊 I used to skive off school in the 70’s to go and sit in the choir stalls where I sang as a chorister ( Hereford ) when I knew they were tuning the organ , they would hold the bass notes for sometimes two minutes 🤗 then my uncle brought his new synth round , a prophet 5 🤗🤩 and here we are :-)

  • @Maxxarcade
    @Maxxarcade Год назад +54

    Once you have the microphones set up, you'll also get to experiment with reverb and delay. Most pipe organs depend on that to get their signature sound, so it will be interesting to see how this all turns out. It's definitely been a fun project to watch!
