You and Yann Tiersen, you guys got me playing music and the accordion

[@dancarroll5908]

Awesome! I appreciated the explanation about the accordion bass, and I loved the story about the welders. It’s so cool to see how your kit is put together after all these years!

[@AndersFlanderzOneManBand]

Dan! Thank you!! So happy you liked it. Yeah it feels good to wrap things up and I know I would have loved seeing this if I wasn't in the band!

That's fantastic - thank you!! Isn't that the ultimate result of a video on the internet?? To me it is anyway! Many thanks!!

[@Shinzferox]

At last! I get to see that beautiful accordian close up and you gave a brilliant demo too 👍

[@AndersFlanderzOneManBand]

Thank you! Yeah, it's a diamond isn't it. You play??

[@Shinzferox]

@@AndersFlanderzOneManBand sadly not! I play keyboards and synths but I don't own an accordion. It's a dream of mine though. I once worked at an old man's house and he had one, he could hardly walk but oh could he still play that accordion! I had a go and was surprised how heavy it was. Guess what I played on it? (or at least tried to) My own version of your cover of 'I want to know what love is' 😁 it still my favourite piece of music ever 👍

[@AndersFlanderzOneManBand]

@@Shinzferox You must pick one up!! A lovely story about the old man and the song you played - I'm STILL gonna record it one day you know! Nowadays people try to get the smaller, lighter ones mostly, if it's second hand anyway cause the older ones are heavier no matter size, there are those massive older accordions that weigh a ton and cover half you, was it one of those? New made ones today can be bigger but still not too heavy but then they cost 10 times more. What music do you make on the synths?!

[@Shinzferox]

@@AndersFlanderzOneManBand oh yes this was big old beautiful heavy thing I played,and it did indeed cover all of my torso 😁 I was struck immediately by the difficulty of working the bellow (not sure if that's the right phrase) you make it look so easy! And as for my synths.... I would call it 'space wave' if that's not a genre it is now! Kind of like a slower paced drum and bass but heavy on the synth sounds too. Also influenced heavily by my love of folk music for the melodies :) Oh a quick edit: I honestly can't wait for you to record that amazing song.... It will be worth the wait my friend I know you are a busy man! The way you drone those chords out on the accordion, the vocals, the drumbeat.... Its all just perfect 👌

[@AndersFlanderzOneManBand]

​@@Shinzferox Working the bellows is easier than it looks, yes, the first time you try it it's not easy, but it comes very naturally very quickly! Like the pedals riding a bicycle. Or something. Space Wave is here! Where can we hear it?! What kind of Folk music are you into? That song I will record, but I warn you, it will probably not live up to your expectations since first impression is always the best isn't it!

@@AndersFlanderzOneManBand i have finished the video and you explained the accordian far better than music professionals ive talked to in the past. Much thanks.

@@getawaystix4591 Thank You!! So happy if that helps! The accordion looks much harder than it is, I thought people should get to know! Many thanks for watching and writing!

[@andrewhopkinson8736]

What I can't figure out is how he goes completely wireless to his amp? Are all the electronics on his back battery powered? Even the mixer? I also am impressed that I am getting the feeling that he taught himself all of the instruments fairly recently, I always assumed that he learned accordian when he was a kid.

[@AndersFlanderzOneManBand]

Those questions will actually be answered in the next and final part of this series, out not so long from now! Started to fake it on the accordion in 2005.

So, i know have the frame at home. I just found out, that most hihat would not allow to remove the feet, aswell as the pedal. i just found one hihat that was screwed together but i was an hour late to buy. but if i won't find another one that is easy to dismantle, i will just have to saw the unnecessary parts off. another thing i realized is, that an accordion really seems to be a perfect fit for an one-man-band. i own a concertina and thought of using it, but it has no buttons that play an entire chord and the buttons play different notes when pushed and pulled. i guess, this would make things just harder. your set-up actually feels really well put together the more i think about it, but i dont just want to create an anders-flanderz-rip off. ^^ well... i will see what direction this project will take. it will take some weeks, i guess, as i'm not in a hurry, but at least i have already started. thanks for the videos, anders!

[@AndersFlanderzOneManBand]

Saw it, duct tape it, cable tie, do whatever it takes!! And remember - never worry about being a copy!! To copy is how we learn to speak when we are little, and it's the same with everything, copy me! Or not, if you don't want to, but remember I am just honoured if you do. accordion is super boss in a one man band yes, but concertina is almighty boss too, depending on what music you wanna make I suppose??

[@liliagladys4525]

Nice work, Anders. We love it. I would like to know if there is any way we can see the dvd in Stockholm by Detektivbyrån somewhere on the internet, i searched for a long time but never found it and I always wanted to watch it in full. Thank you for everything!💖

We say thank you!

[@Zone_Stomper]

Just a heads up on mobile devices. Wanted you to know that more than 50% of the devices on the web are now mobile. That's why YT is presenting more of these short vertical videos. They seem annoying, and of a lower quality, if you're on a big screen but I've seen channels take advantage of this trend and actually double their subscriber numbers. Just thought you should know about it.
