My Strymon Big Sky does this on the cloud setting in stereo. You can even hold the toggle switch down for an infinite reverb. Sound is huge in our church auditorium.
Has there ever been an orchestra in there?! I'd love to learn about the music projects that have recorded at this abandoned facility and where we can see or hear footage -- is there an official list? I bet even the smallest instruments would sound massive, even without amps.
@@LEWITT-audio Pitch the idea of opening a RUclips channel like (tiny desk concert) bring down musicians and make sessions. Definitely with a lift, lighting setup or something you'll get the big musicians
@@Salehalanazi-7 I agree! This really needs to happen. Book musicians to record, teach classes for playing and recording this unique place (which can probably be applied to other unique places like caves, giant stadiums, and anywhere else with major reverb) . . . like turn it into a working music studio and audio school of sorts.
Fun fact; The place is called 'Zwentendorf Nuclear Power Plant', the construction costs were roughly 1.4 billion Euro, making this place the worlds most expensive 'Reverb center'.
Fun fact ; The Rev - Erb proteins are members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of intracellular transcription factors and key regulatory components of the circadian clock..... Wikipedia.
That day was definitely a highlight and exceptional experience! Loved how you composed a song for the room and how you became inspired to kind of "play the room" instead of the guitar! Goosebumps!
Made me think of this.. “Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.” Bill Hicks; also Tool I’d like to think that the design of the reactor intended to bounce neutrons around does the same for sound waves; beautiful whatever it is🎉
The Jam section just sounded insane.... For some reason the natural reverb gives so much more emotion to the whole piece than just a artificial one... Amazing!
that full jam is one of the most beautiful emotional tracks i have ever heard and made me tear up good and proper lol. all im saying is WE NEED that jam track :)
That little jam from 10:50, to around 13:19 is just absolutely amazing! 🙏❤ It makes me think about everything that happened with it back in 1978, just right after being fully built and finished there was a refenderum that i personally think should've taken place *BEFORE* construction even began on it. That refenderum basically made it illegal to construct these types of power plants in Austria, and that's what that amazing jam makes me think about, the history of this specific nuclear power plant.
If this was on Spotify, I would have it on repeat for hours. It's not often as a guitar player, I hear something so inspiring to break out of what I normally play, to dive into this spacial type of thing.
@@ButternutDonut hoho, yes, thank you for the suggestion! Listening to "Above the earth" rn, it's scratching my rare postrock itch really well - looks like these guys will find a place in my heart and playlist.
Someone really needs to create a song out of this. The buildup at 12:45 was so beautiful but I would love to hear drums slowly building up and coming in at 13:00 :D
To be honest, you could pick half the stuff from God is an Astronaut's Age of the Fifth Sun album and it will sound similar to that timestamp. Golden Sky is probably the best fitting song from it.
I need a full version of that song you were playing there in the reactor. Absolutely awe-inspiring, I can only imagine how it must have felt to hear it live, let alone PLAY IT YOURSELF. Thanks for sharing!
Watched this a dozen times now and still doesn't get old. Watched a few of your videos now and I think this one inspires me the most to pick my guitar back up after a few years of neglect. Keep doing what you do, it makes a difference.
3:50 DUUUUUDE that's a gorgeous sound. Completely mind-blowing thinking that the reverb is natural. They could probably make a big chunk of the money back remodeling that to a concert/recording hall, lol.
No surprise that you made some beautiful sounding music there. Around 3:40 it sounds amazing! Great work Paul. Edit: just finished the video and the song in the big room was stunning. The mics worked well too. So cool Lewitt facilitated this to bring this amazing music to us all. Thank you all for sharing.
That was incredible. Like the sounds of heaven. Can’t imagine how fulfilling it must have sounded in person. Can you teach us how to play that tune at home?
@@w83officialI mean to be fair you don't need to build the whole reactor, pretty sure you can build a huge concrete room of a similar shape and put a bunch of metal pipes and it'll do the trick.
The storytelling here was so good. I absolutely love the sound of the guitar in those massive rooms and how you conveyed to us how the experience was. The way you edited this story is pure mastery. So captivating and leaves me wanna go there myself to experience the colossal trip to feel that room reverb respond to my playing. Thanks for 15 wonderful minutes of guitar heaven. Cheers, Thor
I couldn't agree more. That's the thing about Paul's videos. Everything is fantastic notbjust the playing. The way he brings the experience to us to almost be there with him is amazing.
This would definitely be my number one song on Spotify. I can't describe the feelings I get from this. I feel all warm inside and yet I have goosebumps. It's incredible. Bedankt Paul
That piece you both played at the end was God like... I could listen to it for hours. Especially with the amazing reverb in that place. So emotional sounding. You could listen to it whether your in a depressed mood or in a great mood. It's got the best of both worlds! Amazing man!
I was listening to that sound and Pink Floyd did came to mind, but I would love to see Sigur Ros there. I am not that far away from that place, and seeing a Sigur Ros event there would be something.
What a great sound. There are so many songs that would sound fantastic with that complicated reverb. I am now retired from working at nuclear plants in Canada over the last 40 years. Some of my favourite memories are singing with a similar echo in some huge spaces in accessible areas. With a long enough delay, you can generate two and three pitches to make chords. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Not unnoticed is your choice of a Strat. Perfect for that space. I was secretly hoping you’d do some surf guitar but I wasn’t disappointed with the beautiful sounds you created.
Love what you were playing. Sounds absolutely stunning and ethereal. It must have felt like hearing the universe singing back to you. If I were a musician, it would be my dream to record an album in a place like this.
This is amazing ! Thank you so much for including me in your project it was awesome showing you guys arround the plant and getting to witness this amazing "sesh". Take care
It has been some time since I have been emotionally moved by a piece of instrumental music in this way. There’s just something about that perfect continuing resonance; that scintillating echo that you hear in more than your ears.. Something that resonates through you, truly. Well done Paul, this experience was an unexpected but welcome surprise. You have earned another subscriber.
THAT was soo kool - that whole experience. If you ever find yourself with access to an empty cylindrical grain silo... give it a shot. ItZ not the same, but I think you'll be impressed with the wild vibe - I was. 👍😎
That was the best tone I’ve ever heard, PERIOD. This may constitute as the greatest tone of all time. Especially if you consider how clean everything sounded just from the camera mic alone with no editing (as your video showed). It would be different if the reverb and echos were drowning, but they were so clean! Bravo mate!
I have seen a fair amount of these type of Natural Reverb videos, but yours Paul, is the only one that really surprised me. I loved what you chose to play at the reactor. It's a beautiful idea to think of , playing music at a dead site of possible destructive, I don't know, if that makes sense. Good job Paul, I appreciate your content and work. Take care!
That was like no reverb I ever heard. It was smoother than an Effect. I hope you plan on releasing these songs you recorded there. I will never forget this video. Beautiful playing there, too.
@@northwest_rain exactly what I was thinking, I was looking to see if one is already named that and all I could find was nuclear fuzz which isn’t a bad name either
Can you please publish the full recording of your jam session to Apple Music or purchase at the very least??? This was just incredible to listen to! Could even name it “Nuclear” or something cool😄
I would love a full playlist/channel of Paul just jamming. His style is so diverse and easily received. I could listen to the jam in this video on loop.
I wouldn't be surprised if you played on the Moon in the near future haha. Love the ambience and space that this environment gives to the music. Such an unexpectedly well done space to play music in
@3:51 to 4:20 My Favorite part!!🥰 Paul, thanks for triggering a very pleasant memory for me!😁 When I was 25, in 1986, I had the opportunity to play in an empty concrete room about 40 by 40 by 30 feet high. Playing through a 1983 Marshall JCM800 Lead through a 4x12 Slant with Celestions, I produced sounds that I had never made before, or since!😥 Was only able to play in there once. It was at work, in the middle of the night!👍 Shame! I had a cassette player recording with I think was 2 mic's built in the front. Playing in there produced Reverb, Pans and what sounded like Phase shifts, purely analog, from the room interacting with the amp and the random placement of the tape deck. Good stuff! Wish that tape hadn't disappeared over the years!😬 Imagine David Gilmore, Jeff Beck, Allan Holdsworth, Steve Vai, or Guthrie Govan recording in there! Wondrous!🙏 Glad you had the opportunity to experience something even more Grand! 👍 Lucky! Mike in San Diego.🌞🎸🚀🖖
This is one of the most beautiful guitar sessions I've ever heard, the warmth of it all and note choices are like the golden tops of a giant cloud at sunset. Amazing just how unique this reverb is in that setting I'm in tears listening to this. Thank you!!
Can you imagine what Pink Floyd could have come up with if they had access to a place like this back in the 70's.. now THAT would have been worth listening to.
When the music plays is when we realize that we connect with the present and every voice and place just disappear. Deeply connected. That is what I call.. Magic. Thanks for this adventure, it was awesome!
1 second ago I can’t sleep. It’s incredibly windy out. There are unsettling sounds because of it. Was feeling angry thinking on the past. My neighbors spot light came on at an unusual time I walked into my room almost like they were waiting for me to and that just added to the storm inside my soul reflecting the weather outside. Then I came across this and for a moment, I let it all go because as a guitarist I heard something I could appreciate concerning a sound quality. Additionally, you always add to it with the melodic way you play. Been watching since early on and just wanted to say thanks for this
Paul David Não sei se conseguiras perceber o q escrevi Mas gostaria de te dizer q voce me inspira a ser um guitarrista melhor Mesmo sendo iniciante vc me mostra q com esforço um dia poderei ser um guitarrista como voce
I'm going to try my best to translate it. Vou dar o meu melhor pra traduzir teu texto para que talvez o Paul possa ler. "I don't know if you're going to understand what I wrote but I'd like to tell you that you're inspiring me to being a better guitarrist. Even though I'm a beginner, you show me that with effort, I can be a guitarrist like you". Paul, if you read this: Since I'd discovered your channel (2 weeks ago), I'm learning music theory. I've been playing a few instruments for quite a while even though I know only the basics of music theory... I want to be better, and you have a great part on it. Keep going my brother. E pra você, Maria Sogo, te desejo o melhor do mundo. Procure na guitarra não só um desafio, mas como um jeito de tirar do peito o que te aflinge. Fica mais fácil de aprender, mas o melhor não é isso. O melhor é que com a guitarra na mão (no meu caso geralmente violão) você é capaz de SENTIR o sentimento, que com o tempo resolve, mesmo sem saber o que sente. Essa é a beleza da música, nos provoca sensações que sequer precisamos nomear, só sentir. Que se já não tenha sentido isso, que possas sentir! Pela escrita imagino que sejas um/uma Portuga. Saudações de um Brasileiro!
What a very pleasant and sometimes very eerie sound of distant music that is so nostalgic and yet feeling dread because on how far and long the sustain of reverb become that makes you think sometimes that things come and go and those gone are really long gone to the point of having a crisis over your head. Sounds of a distant memory that has passed for years that you wanna reminisce about and yet you feel sad and feel the longing of something from you a long time ago. It's funny when you listen to this according to what states you are in really changes how you describe the sound you perceive.
Wow. Absolutely amazing! Paul, you created my perfect RUclips video, a mash up of my hobby (guitars) and my job (nuclear engineer)! I've never had nearly as much fun in the reactor building as you had making this! What a beautiful song with fabulous sound played over amazing footage of a very well preserved nuclear plant. I can't stop watching it! Thank you!
Seeing how much you visibly enjoyed this experience and the childlike joy on your face brought me so much happiness and fulfillment just from watching. I was having a rough day, but your beautiful playing and the pure enjoyment and passion of the moment brought a smile to my face. So thank you, and keep doing what makes you happy as it is an absolute joy to watch. Much love.
Ok that was probably the most etheric guitar sounds I have ever listened to!! The resonance is both Incredible and Magical!! I got goosebumps from the "SPACE" in between the notes - the HEART of music!!

If some company doesn't have a reverb pedal named Reactor within the next 6 months, I'll be really disappointed. This was beautiful.
You listening Josh Scott?
It just dropped, I have the box
My Strymon Big Sky does this on the cloud setting in stereo.
You can even hold the toggle switch down for an infinite reverb.
Sound is huge in our church auditorium.
It's going to be a challenge to get an IR out of it, but it would be cool!
The new Zwentendorf Reverb! Sounds even better :D At least for me as German

Worth it!
Thank you for figuring this out. The sound gave me chills. I would give anything to spend 30 minutes in there with my guitar and a tube amp
that transition of the volume knob at 3:52 is pure bliss
I hope they also recorded the impulse response of the Colling System Chamber. I liked it even better than the Reactor Cavity.
that note reminds me of the last of us theme

This is one of the most beautiful guitar sessions I've ever heard, the warmth of it all and note choices are like the golden tops of a giant cloud at sunset. Amazing just how unique this reverb is in that setting I'm in tears listening to this. Thank you!!
I need an impulse response of both of those rooms!
Can you imagine what Pink Floyd could have come up with if they had access to a place like this back in the 70's.. now THAT would have been worth listening to.
Holly Shit that’s a lot of reverb, I like it🤘🏻
When the music plays is when we realize that we connect with the present and every voice and place just disappear. Deeply connected. That is what I call.. Magic.
Thanks for this adventure, it was awesome!

I can’t sleep. It’s incredibly windy out. There are unsettling sounds because of it. Was feeling angry thinking on the past. My neighbors spot light came on at an unusual time I walked into my room almost like they were waiting for me to and that just added to the storm inside my soul reflecting the weather outside. Then I came across this and for a moment, I let it all go because as a guitarist I heard something I could appreciate concerning a sound quality. Additionally, you always add to it with the melodic way you play. Been watching since early on and just wanted to say thanks for this
Paul David
Não sei se conseguiras perceber o q escrevi
Mas gostaria de te dizer q voce me inspira a ser um guitarrista melhor
Mesmo sendo iniciante vc me mostra q com esforço um dia poderei ser um guitarrista como voce
I'm going to try my best to translate it.
Vou dar o meu melhor pra traduzir teu texto para que talvez o Paul possa ler.
"I don't know if you're going to understand what I wrote but I'd like to tell you that you're inspiring me to being a better guitarrist.
Even though I'm a beginner, you show me that with effort, I can be a guitarrist like you".
Paul, if you read this: Since I'd discovered your channel (2 weeks ago), I'm learning music theory. I've been playing a few instruments for quite a while even though I know only the basics of music theory... I want to be better, and you have a great part on it. Keep going my brother.
E pra você, Maria Sogo, te desejo o melhor do mundo. Procure na guitarra não só um desafio, mas como um jeito de tirar do peito o que te aflinge. Fica mais fácil de aprender, mas o melhor não é isso.
O melhor é que com a guitarra na mão (no meu caso geralmente violão) você é capaz de SENTIR o sentimento, que com o tempo resolve, mesmo sem saber o que sente. Essa é a beleza da música, nos provoca sensações que sequer precisamos nomear, só sentir.
Que se já não tenha sentido isso, que possas sentir!
Pela escrita imagino que sejas um/uma Portuga. Saudações de um Brasileiro!
O paul tem uma energia boa
cara toca muito, pratica muito, vive com a guitarra colada em ti!
Damn, this sounded so nice. Will you release those Reactor-vibes on Spotify?
Would you listen to it?
@@PaulDavids All day. It so calming :)
@@PaulDavids yessssssssssssssssssssssssss
@@PaulDavids heck yeah. Your sounds have a real nice vibe to them. Great for relaxing and calming down
@@PaulDavids yess
My main question during the video - I hope he made a IR from this room ...
What a very pleasant and sometimes very eerie sound of distant music that is so nostalgic and yet feeling dread because on how far and long the sustain of reverb become that makes you think sometimes that things come and go and those gone are really long gone to the point of having a crisis over your head. Sounds of a distant memory that has passed for years that you wanna reminisce about and yet you feel sad and feel the longing of something from you a long time ago. It's funny when you listen to this according to what states you are in really changes how you describe the sound you perceive.
Very stunning, that jam session was very explosions in the sky esque, beautiful work.
Imagine walking outside and hearing this beautiful heavenly sound coming from your Nuclear Power Plant
10:49 Here is your replay button
Get some rugs down on the floor and start recording bands playing live in there, it'll be epic!
Wow. Absolutely amazing! Paul, you created my perfect RUclips video, a mash up of my hobby (guitars) and my job (nuclear engineer)! I've never had nearly as much fun in the reactor building as you had making this!
What a beautiful song with fabulous sound played over amazing footage of a very well preserved nuclear plant. I can't stop watching it! Thank you!
Seeing how much you visibly enjoyed this experience and the childlike joy on your face brought me so much happiness and fulfillment just from watching. I was having a rough day, but your beautiful playing and the pure enjoyment and passion of the moment brought a smile to my face. So thank you, and keep doing what makes you happy as it is an absolute joy to watch. Much love.
i just want a syth, mood guitar album for like 4 hours. and please let me just play in the cooling towaer room id never want to leave.
Imagine if Gilmour had access to this place
I really hoped, he would play "Welcome to the Machine"
Most beautiful thing I heard that natural Reverb then any reverb
Ok that was probably the most etheric guitar sounds I have ever listened to!! The resonance is both Incredible and Magical!! I got goosebumps from the "SPACE" in between the notes - the HEART of music!!
So this is how Explosions in the sky do it.
My first thought was that this belongs in The Earth is Not a Cold, Dead Place
Too bad the reactor was never put to use.
Best source of energy we have.
10:25 xDxDxD
these are probably the most beautiful sounds that i heard from my DT990's yet. my god beautiful
The tone in the first room reminded me so much of Brian Eno's music...
Such ethereal sound, absolutely stellar!
