Please Andrew!...you need to get together with Rob (Scallon) to create a full album with all these gadgets and have Rob bring his gadgets too!!!...

[@BanesRomance]

Hey Andrew 👋 that's a really cool kalimba noise box

[@MattGreerMusic]

Hey, it's Billy! He's from Nashville btw. He's a friend of mine. Great guy.

[@davidscanlan]

please give raise to whoever's doing the closed captions (3:25 "glitchiness settles into a bit of a beat")

[@reset_rt]

Absolutely WILD! My favourite is the pitch bend on the Meowsic ❤❤ So fun being part of this shoot ✨✨

[@chandlermiller3944]

seeing andrew on the floor just having a good time with the instrument is so pure. No clean set up just plugging in everything as quick as possible to play with it.

[@DanielRiendeau]

Fax.

[@soygustavobarron]

This is a guy that has all the gear in the world, having a childlike wonder at a wooden box with a microphone. I love it!

[@andrewhuang]

lol yes and I’ve had plenty of wonder at even less 😂

[@wackyjjackie]

“What that tongue do?” Random Modular Pitch Performance ofc

[@CactusMuffin]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@lightbright1113]

OK Housecat is a real splendorific musician. His channel and productions are absolutely pushing the envelope.

[@hoebare]

Scrumtrulescent!

[@chameleonblockstudios]

Man I love it when weird instrument maker KZbinrs I’ve been watching make their way on Andrews channel

[@Fthmlss]

Miss the moments you find yourself in the most strangest of positions in the corner of a room tapping away on a random surface and getting lost in the sauce 😅 love the combination of a melodic style noisebox! Sounds awesome 😊

[@Dirk_Berserk]

7:00 playing the spring could definitely be used for scary movies

[@BlufyreAudio]

Weird Gear returns!

[@robinhasaconlang]

2:35 "Maybe if I-" *computer has some sort of nervous breakdown*

[@evolevil1]

Well that spring reverb escalated quickly. I had flashbacks from the old video with heating pipes. Top stuff!

[@Khordmaster]

lol dude the rhythm edit with the box opening 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

[@andrewhuang]

Thank you for appreciating haha

[@commodoor6549]

Ok Housecat makes unique products. I bought the circuit bent Speak & Spell. He threw in a mic. Just an incredible human being and artist. Check him and his creations out. Thank you Andrew for making people aware of the cool things Billy is doing.

[@TheM00ndawg]

i really like seeing highly skilled professional musicians, turn into toddlers pushing buttons, when they get a new toy.

[@TSGEnt]

Thank you for making cool music with weird instruments. Liberating for sure.

[@Da1AliBi]

How cool. Stuff from OK Housecat is amongst the weirdest (and most desireable) sonicglitchwhateveryoumaycallit....things.

[@johnnyguitarra3448]

Andrew, I think it's wonderful that you feel confident enough to have sequential psychotic breaks from reality and share them with the world. I have a suggestion for you. I think you should name your music: Sonicism. it's sort of a portamento of sonic and ism. it can also be used to describe a sonic event imbued with sarcasm. I've been growing bamboo and making instruments out of various iterations of this undervalued grass that grows almost everywhere. As far as your Kalimba goes: 1.) make an extension out of nuts and bolts that will allow you to add additional throw weight at the end of whatever tine you choose to experiment with. The additional arc of the tine will increase the range and both bottom and the top of the original arc. 2.) Make tines out of toothpicks for an upper register sound that will be tight, short, and thumpy. 3.) Use the metal components of broken screwdrivers. 4.) purchase a set of those very small bicycle lights that people usually attach to the spokes of their wheels and attach them to the end of whatever tine you are using so that the lights will flash when the tine is being struck. 5.) Create tines using bamboo 6.) about halfway up from the bottom of the instrument create a series of holes that run alternatively on both sides of the instrument. Take a guitar string of any size and string it through all of the open holes you can turn the string by placing one guitar tuner on the instrument or simply shove seashells, coins, dowes, and any other configuration that will tighten and loosen and change the length of the string. 7.) get a couple of those stick-on pick ups and a fixed them in various places on the instrument. Then you can run the pick up cords either into a splitter or directly into two or three different amplifiers. I believe your Kalimba would benefit from amplification, a looper, and as in your video, as many external devices as possible. It would be wonderful to be able to record the subsequent sound and be able to fly it into your DAW as a sample, or create mini files on the fly. What fun!

[@Zelmel]

Whoever does your captions is amazing! Love the descriptions of the sounds/pitches and random noises.

[@justinrobinson1162]

Missed opportunity to call it the slinkalimba

[@michaelcherry8952]

I watched this right after reading a Wikedpedia article about the late David Lynch and the first thing I thought of when you were fooling around with the slinky reverb was that it would be perfect for a David Lynch movie!

[@KiddsockTV]

Are you sure Rob Scallon didn't design part of this with the pointy skewers?

[@randomcitizenname]

A lot of the same stuff that The Magpie likes to make. Circuit bending everything and making it glitch.

[@anthonywestbrook2155]

Anyone who hears "talking toaster" and thinks it sounds promising isn't likely a Red Dwarf fan.

[@arynnritter4293]

I thought it sounded promising and I have never heard of red dwarf unless you are talking about space.

[@Legendary_Honey]

This is what I imagine chromatic aberration sounds like

[@tapeexperiments]

You can finally score that Horror Film you've been dreaming of👻7:20

[@jcpro3182]

3:20 “stop it”

[@jazzanarchy]

Andrew Huang with the best closed captions in the biz - "knife cutting, plastic crinkling to a beat...of course"

[@BeepBoopAudio]

I would LOVE to make a sample instrument with these samples. This is a GOLD MINE!

[@TheTrueDeadFingers]

5:55 just sent me back in time to OFF's soundtrack.

[@OokisMcFlookis]

Andrew has the best job in the world

[@Nikitunzi]

dude now need a song from you and Rob using only these instrumets! you guys are the best when it comes to making a masterpiece out of weird sounding instruments😂😂😂

[@agentmith]

I’m not sure the slinky’s have enough tension to function as a reverb, at least based on what I saw in the video. Any vibrations they might be picking up are dissipating in the slack. It’s like that twin can and string phone, if the string isn’t taut the sound won’t transmit.

[@_uohaloran]

Great channel crossover. The ground bar for the kalimba tongs is genius.

[@dampersand]

Reminds me of the good old days smacking my guitar amp with spring reverb to make weird noises.

[@BrentCoppernoll]

Is this a preview of the next First of October album?

[@misterscottintheway]

The okhousecat aesthetic is a VIBE. Very 90s.

[@MightyPinecone]

My friend’s kid had one of those kitty keyboards and one day I played Turn Down for What on it and now I can’t hear that song without hearing the melody in meows.

[@StealthMoustache]

Kalimba pedal was insanely cool

[@Methulu_Syllasluth]

Gosh, that's a really cool instrument. So much things you can do with it.

[@balaenopteramusculus]

Oh, man, could have watched and listen to way more of that weird shizzle coming from the slinky calimba. Please more!

[@shamardaniel4819]

You know its legit when it comes in a frankenbox!🤘😆🤘

[@shanemoss3112]

the pitch bend on the cat keyboard reminded me of chibi robo park patrol, when you're playing music, you control the tempo by drawing circles and the speed is based on how fast you draw so it kind of has a similar wavy imperfection to it lol.

[@Demysmekblan]

just seeing a bunch of these, it makes me YEARN for this year's First of October

[@Edward256]

1:58 - It's a mini jarre! XD Yeah, Jean Michel Jarre popularized the Laser Harp.

[@NEKRWSPHERE]

Careful Andrew, it could be that toaster that can only be referred to in the first person...

[@ervinpoljak8332]

7:00 on…holy ballz! What an inspiring approach❤

[@stevenbrady1143]

8:42 I thought Vecna was behind me

[@no_wrong_notes]

This is so innovative! I love that spring so much.

[@march4652]

Re: cable zip return I love and fear the mental image of someone pressing the button to reel in a patch cable and then having to duck for their life because they left a tuner pedal attached and it's now hurtling at them.

[@andrewhuang]

I didn’t think this one through

[@PeteGunnShow]

i dont know if you inserted your own CC into this, but i love the fact that the first thing it says is "(strange swirly percussion)" in the closed captions

[@BreakdownBoxes]

This makes me really want to see a video of Andrew playing with a Blipblox synth.

[@juhxofficial]

The horror editing was top tier 😂

[@K0r0n1s]

I love the industrial piece that came out of the feedback 🖤⚒️💜

[@jedigarrett142]

Virtual riot would definitely sample the speak and read thing for dubstep bass wavetables

[@lienmeat]

Freakin haunting sounds coming out of that kalimba! Thing is incredible!

[@johnnyterra1309]

yoo editing is 1000aura right now. fun content as allways! thx andrew :=)

[@YoutubeparisnewsBlogspotFr]

6:34 for S.F or Horror Movies, it's great....

[@pjforde1978]

Congratulations on your new Hainbach video.

[@benodaboy]

Disappointed there was no weird gear sting😢

[@-processdrone-]

@6:44 Japanese Noise Music has entered the chat.

[@mchelvantx]

Listening to a Bach arrangement while watching this and there is no conflict

[@soreg666alex]

Can't wait for all of this on Sonic Boom.

[@Auldhelm]

@6:55 Andrew channels David Lynch

[@lemonberries]

That Speak and Read was badass!

[@timothymckane6362]

We're definitely back with Weird Gear once again!

[@Simeon_Harris]

whoa that whole black and white section felt like a david lynch movie

[@beatsado6529]

If some of these feautred in the 2025 FoO album, we'd be in for some GNARLY music

[@Thegoopguy]

The golden age has returned

[@THEAMYGDALA]

This is what you find in javas’ scavenging inventory

[@dhpstudios2009]

Where did I look at 😂. I feel that I can make a million sounds of this,Andrew !!!! Look behind you, your wall is covered with one big synth, a dream for everybody

[@althealligator1467]

Gotta start using this stuff for First of October

[@UkiMalefu]

Giant boxes of fun stuff are the best kind of boxes.

[@robertsteinberger]

These feedback slinkies make for some amazing horror sounddesign

[@keithfulkerson]

That reverb box sounds badass.

[@22Facesmusica]

0:05 I watched the video hours ago and I'm still laughing lol

[@andrewhuang]

It’s the simple things 😛

[@MichaMachine-Synths]

The Toaster 😮 love that Noise 🎛️🌀👾👾👾

[@hot_dog.666]

You should try bowing the kalimba tines! I think that with the crazy spring reverb + feedback would give some great horror movie soundtrack vibes.

[@andrewhuang]

Oh it’s big brain time now!

[@Appleloucious]

One Love! Always forward, never ever backward!! ☀☀☀ 💚💛❤ 🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼

[@TrippyToons]

A lot of these are really awesome and I think this is a great video but I have a question. What do you think an alien instrument would look like? Something that’s completely different than something we are used to

[@DanielOliveiraViolao]

Very interesting, man. Thanks!

[@isicle]

the Home Depot product placement

[@Asyraftsm]

That will be some original horror track

[@neaituppi7306]

I know he will probably pick four established, popular youtube channels, that have the funds for equipment to make the best video and audio productions, and even collabed with them before, like he did the last one I submitted to. But I will probably do it anyway, just to do the music.

[@andrewhuang]

Hi, I wonder if you’re confusing episodes? This is the only 4 Producers open call I’ve ever done kzbin.info/www/bejne/e56mZpZtjq16gZYsi=Kp5Gq15jaVxxc7a4 Never talked to or worked with any of them prior to that, and some of their video is really not polished I’m interested in who’s got the most amazing sounding thing going out of hundreds of entries. Bring your a-game

[@zeeschnitzel]

9:12 Sick beat!

[@lnterlacedPerception]

8:05 Suddenly, Clair de Lune

[@Takyodor2]

It sounds like that slinky is out to get me. I didn't want to sleep anyway.

[@yavinstudios3528]

New meaning to "Super Slinky"!

[@wellimagamer8848]

That kalimba doesn't sound like it wants to be nice to me, it is very scary sounding

[@elanhelosdeblanco8476]

Scary sound generator makes me WOW effect

[@itwashimmusic]

The slaps sounded like Mr Bill

Happy to see Home Depot getting in on the market 😮
