72 HOMEMADE INSTRUMENTS IN 7 MINUTES

You should make a library of synths with all the sounds you have created.

[@BSP1822]

@@NicolasBras I would be super interested in that library.

[@silenceoflink5880]

These sound like instruments people in a broken world would make. A dystopia where life has been ruined, but they are trying to grow back, and it starts with music. They don't quite have all the proper materials to make instruments so they made their own, and these are the results. I love it.

[@dreamwalks8200]

had similar thoughts. Like the people who refused to live in the new world metropolitan districts (outcasts) made these because thats what they have to work with. love it aswell

[@wolfeprocter]

These LOOK like musical instruments made in a broken world, and I love them.

[@Happycide]

This is very much what I was thinking. Reminds me of video games set in post-apocalyptic settings, like Left 4 Dead or LISA: the painful.

[@apples54203]

its like instruments made during an apocalypse like guitars out of milk jugs and stuff

[@drloganistan2392]

While watching the video, I created a playlist to put this video in. It was named “retaliation”. I love music. I love drums, bass & life; in the astronomically low chance of me actually able to experience life. Thankful forever, this was amazing truely, coming from a 6 year drummer!! 🥁

[@EduardoRohdeEras]

I'm wordless. Each instrument is a ticket to a far place, a new story never heard, an adventure through an unknown culture long in time. 👏

[@NicolasBras]

The name of my project means "music from nowhere", that's how I like to see those instruments, some traditional instruments from a culture that never exists

[@sk8chkn]

Some of my favorite destinations were: - Cyber-Medieval battleground - Toy soldier crowning ceremony - Alien bayou rocking chair - Hell

I wish we could get longer videos on all of these instruments! I wanna hear each one played to its fullest extent!

[@six_twentythree]

You know, in one sense, all instruments were homemade until they were standardized. I bet it was a lot of this kind of stuff. Awesome!!

[@3d81bf]

Being able to "find the music" in each one of these instruments, bringing them all to life with interesting tones, while keeping them all sounding unique, is something really impressive. Your playing made each one of these beautiful

[@ashlynwanderer]

so many of these sound actually beautiful! I'm mostly in shock that you managed to make them all, and that you can actually play them all.

[@NicolasBras]

Thanks!

[@aff77141]

I know these are all just screwing around, but the amount of sound understanding required to make a single one of these experiments work is mindblowing

[@sajithkumar3703]

My good God....the session was absolutely stunning to ears. Beyond Being a flutist, I personally enjoyed the string ones than the wind versions. This person here has ocean depth knowledge upon eastern and western type of music. He is a real gem for the music world.....Wow man.

I'm. Honestly surprised how close most of these sound to normal folk instruments. Great job! The drone lyre sounds like a Shamisen and as some who is learning the lyre it's exiting!

Pink Floyd made an album called "Household Objects", made entirely using household objects as instruments, they found this album way too difficult to finish, and abandoned it half way through, due to them not having good enough sounding instruments to complete it properly. Some of these instruments are good sounding, some sounded terrible, get some local decent musicians, you've got a bass, bicycle slide guitar, tea tray Kyoto, and make an album of pink floyd inspired covers, called "Household Objects Revisited", ? . Instant KZbin smash I think, 'if', the good musicians would put their name to it.

[@DevinJuularValentine]

The ones that sound "terrible" sound really good for sound design!

[@kingofhearts1072]

All depends on purpose, some of the ones that sound "terrible" in your opinion make work better for FILM, instead of straight ahead music for casual listening. Even terrible sounds CAN also be put into casual music, all depends on how its used, usually using them as nuanced pieces in the BACKGROUND is best.
