Or... Hear me out, this is what people in the 1920's thought people in the 80's would be listening to... Only for people in the 80's to kick the can down the road another 40 years to the 20's.
I'm impressed that they managed to print quite high quality speech samples! The last time I saw their projects the sounds were mostly lo-fi pulse sweeps. The large printing area must have improved the highest possible sampling frequency significantly.
I'm not the OP, but look up Nyquist theorem. Basically the way digital audio works is that it's rapidly chopping contiguous analog sound into chunks, and taking a measurement of each chunk. The faster you do that, the more accurate it is. This matters especially for higher frequency (pitch) sounds, which by nature need a faster sampling rate to capture accurately. There's a related concept of bit depth, which also impacts audio fidelity, but I have to look that up before I can explain it.
@@jessefrench9322 Yes, I’m aware of different d/a algorithms and filtered pwm could do it. I’m just surprised that the printing resolution (and scanning) was enough. I’ve done several sample playback routines with different kinds of hardware.
ok i need a full album experience. i can’t stop thinking about these instruments. if you don’t make an album i can’t because i don’t have these instruments

This makes for an actually really fun, but possibly expensive skatepark idea. There's a constant beat that occasionally changes every few minutes and while boarding, you can just ride over barcodes and add to that beat, while doing tricks around the park.
@@blockhead4791 It would sound like absolute shit. Imagine 15 15 year olds fucking around around with huge speakers like this. Nothing coherent would come out of it, but the sound of pure anarchy.

This is awesome. I'd love to see you make some barcode rails/ledges to incorporate grinding. Could also make radial barcodes so you can do shuvits and 360s over
I remember seeing the older videos leading up to this. Still easily some of the coolest stuff I've ever seen! Would love a video album of barcode music, honestly.
Rock on! I've been thinking about this for a long time-- It's like; instead of boombox at the skatepark playing, "One Love" by Bob Marley you have sensors attached to everything that generates electronic music based on a set of rules. It could be the next, "Happenings."
As a skater, musician, and cashier, this hits right in the feels bro
You NEED to go there.

Yeah that would be amazing
I love when people find unique ways to make music with stuff that's generally considered noise.
That was all noise
music is noise after all
man wait till you hear noise the genre
Black metal be like
Music is literally noise but this is just noise

"The barcode."

This is lit
Tony Hawk's Procoder looking real good
If I told anyone 10 years ago that one of my favorite music genres is “bar-code skateboarding” they’d think me mad.
A lot of time and effort went into this, and i appreciate it.
As weird an cool as it is I do appreciate the effort it’s colossal, the tunes ain’t my bag I’m afraid😂
This is a combination of things I never would have dreamed of existing.
sheesh this lit
Your ideas get more and more ridiculous as time goes on, and I absolutely love it!
it's really one of my favorite things in the world, your works
Hits different
The amount of preparation that has to go in to a video like this is astounding to me.
The creativity of some people never ceases to amaze me
Daigo Umehara's skills knows no bounds.
That's A Work Of Art! No, THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!
One of the nerdiest but coolest things I ever saw, love it!
Record an album already! Your music is literally the only one of its kind, and people who actually like how you sound have no way to listening to you.

I have never heard of this kind of music before but now it is my new favourite thing
They're playing samples now? Damn!
of course. i do believe SMPTE timecodes of samples can be stored as bar codes and replayed.
This feels both modern and 90’s as hell
Can you imagine being able to watch this at your local supermarket?? It would be the busiest checkout.
this is genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever seen
This place Is definitely going on my bucket list 😤🙌🏾
If the Olympic games had an event for this I would watch it
Lmao same
This is next level musical artistry.
This channel remains some of the coolest shit I've ever seen
I’ve been waiting for people to invent new instruments like this. Electronic music should be performable, not just for DJs.
You guys are having a *Blast* and that is *Fantastic*
This is one of the most creative and mindblowing things I've seen this year! ¡¡¡Felicitaciones Electrónicos Fantásticos!!!

😂
Ironically, "Breaking Open the Head" is *the most scannable book EVER* 💯
This is so cool whatttt🤘🔥

unsuprisingly this went over some heads
and starts a new genre, barcore
lol...
バチクソカッコいいです
This is the 90's Future if the 90's were forever.
This is one of the most bizarre and amazing things I have ever seen. Who else was randomly recommended this?
Every time I check back in on this channel you guys are doing something new and crazy ❤️
This is some next level ingenuity/craziness activity very interesting and liberating 🙂
I love their fashion it’s cool, and comfortable!
Man loves barcodes he is a fan 😂
As a retail/sales associate this blew my mind.
its almost like they combined everything i love if barcodes are representative of buying things i dont need
why wasn't this in the olympics?
Halt! You are under arrest for being too dope! You're sentenced to keep doing what you're doing!
Wow! This is fantastic!
I hope they watch this in art history classes in the future
1:09 fall was so funny
"AW YEAH"
That was a neat idea!!! Amazing work!! I miss those kinds of projects!! Also, kinda had some OK-Go vibes :-) Nice work fellas!!
Awsome ! You are the worthy heirs of the Gutaï movement !
