Wow

[@mrsnowleopard0349]

How did you get that sound?

[@lanantz]

subed and hit for all. gods I wish I could afford to buy one and learn it.... you' 're a masterful inspsiration@ 1

[@CesarEnrRC1]

It sounds amazing, the high notes sometimes sound like birds, sometimes like flutes. Damn this is an amazing instrument.

[@1090yoyo]

If course it is an amazing instrument, but let's say the guy who's turning the crank is pretty amazing too

[@scottsimmons7076]

with the amount of range that this instrument is capable of, I wonder why it ever faded into obscurity in the first place

[@thekhansha]

Wars.

[@leonrafe8513]

I watched a vid on its history and I think it had to do with the instrument spreading to the lower classes, and, as you can imagine, those without the rescorcrs to maintain the instruments would be left with lopesided wheels and buzzer strings with the wrong amount of tension. Basically it spread from the church to lower classes then classisum happened.

[@longanddeadly]

Put it simply, humans are a stupid species. Very very dumb, monumentally stupid of epic proportions.

[@l4dl4dl4d]

@@leonrafe8513 that's makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the info!

[@adreabrooks11]

Added to the points others mentioned here, the hurdy gurdy fell into disfavour because it's an utter pain to maintain and prepare for play, compared to comparable instruments like the lute, aud, harp and so on. The main strings can't rub directly onto the wheel; they must be jacketed in cotton treated with rosin. Too much rosin, and the strings don't "grab" the wheel for a good sound; not enough, and they screech instead of droning harmoniously. And that's just setting it up to start playing. By contrast, rosin on a violin's bowstring lasts a long time, and one needs only to rub in a little more before sitting down to play. That said, it's totally worth the effort, IMHO.

[@Varwelder]

A transfer of pure positive energy...

[@jazzyjeff2113]

It's almost like that is not a real musical instrument. Very hypnotic to watch and listen.

[@CrashFu]

The range of sound this instrument can make is unbelievable, and I'm convinced anyone who can play something this complex THIS well must be some kind of wizard.

[@kilorethiw]

not a wizard, a bard.

[@NicholasKonradsen]

have you seen his song called wizard?

[@miguelrevson13]

Bravo after reading a few comments I believe you topped anything I could say instrument is as amazing as its player

[@PsychicAlchemy]

@@kilorethiw Multiclass!

[@jamwrightiam]

I love the Gurdy because of that ability, it both allows a mimic like effect where if you know what you're doing you can play just about any song, and secondly you can create music from such a wide variety of genres

[@OndskapensHersker]

please, do more hurdy gurdy vids.. it's awesome!

[@Kintatsu1]

The range of sounds this instrument can make is EXACTLY why I call it, "The Synthesizer's Great-Great-Grandma."

[@Thumvard]

Superbe composition. Elle montre bien les possibilités de la vielle à roue, cet instrument orchestre à lui tout seul. En premier lieu, une guitare, puis un violon, et finalement le son de la vielle à roue, entre guitare électrique et cornemuse. On joue de la manivelle pour le rythme, l'instrument est magique... Il date du Moyen Âge et pourtant ne palis pas en termes de possibilités face à la création musicale numérique...

[@MrBipulpandey]

Today is the first day I learned about this instrument!! And I'm in love with the sound. I've never in my life heard such a varied range of sounds from a single instrument. Beautiful..very beautiful.

[@opalfenwick3953]

At the first bird like screech I was convinced a small animal had decided to empty its lungs in the middle of your recording. I was wondering why you didn't look perturbed by it, then the camera panned down and showed the instrument making it again, on purpose! I said out loud, "No way!" We have invented nothing like this today. I'm so glad people still play it!!🙏

[@jar-jarnotbinks7685]

don't get me wrong, what he does with it is awesome and he's most likely among the best players of this instrument, but what he does, you do with a digital setup and a guitar as well, and THERE IS digital treatment of the sound on this track, he register & playback loops, added reverbs, among other things. But it's not as impressive because everyone can play the guitar with little effort, this, is another story, and a very beautiful music :)

[@JamesMiller_ShadowWalker]

By far THE BEST Hurdy Gurdy I've heard yet!

[@quesacofil2b]

Superbe morceau découvert lors du concert à Bioule ce dimanche 22 septembre 2024 !! 🤩

[@samopdrift]

Your music is like love: wild and tender, rough and sweet... man, this goes deep deep into my soul!

[@DoomMeister_]

Awesome song and all, but I can't help but hear rubber duckies at some parts of the song. Not bad but makes me smile a bit :D

[@DarkWolf5250]

Thienquan Pham You just ruined the song for me lol.

[@Kosake82]

I didn't know what you meant until the rubber duckies kicked in and I was like WTF?! O_O

[@mauimudpup]

i think you are supposed to. it does sound like loons or some other bird

[@dagrahelmonas7455]

i notice that quickly too but i think its the piece of tape or something he moves on the second back string that is being rubbed against by the spin wheel to make that sound like rubber squeak

[@Snickersnek]

I was thinking it sounded like it had rat vocalists or something

[@jaredlow396]

Everyone is talking about how good the instrument is, I wanna just thank Guilhem. That song was amazing, I only wish i could write music half as well as he can. Guilhem, please keep making more Hurdy Gurdy videos!!

[@GoddessLil-n2q]

This song really takes me away to a happy space. I get so stuck. I wish it was longer.

[@elricou7822]

je l'ai dans ma playlist enorme de 4000 tracks mais a chaque fois je suis obligé de regarder mais c'est quoi ce titre de ouf merci merci merci meme si c'est vieux je l'écoute depuis quelques années mais c'est tjr aussi miraculeux ❤❤❤

[@Helmzer.an.the.homeless.hounds]

I honestly don't know what to say im blown away, I first heard you do cowboys from hell and realized you was talanted bt listened to more and was amazed you are truly as deep as the instrument you play

[@sci-filover7541]

Thank you for making the animals feel better

[@SoundWorxxXProd]

Tu redonnes un vrai rêve avec le « grincement ». Un son tellement inusité et pourtant maitrisé bah il n’y a rien de plus beau !

[@JohnShryne]

Such a beautiful instrument

[@michaellewis1671]

I'm literally holding back tears. What an artist. Dude when you tour this new album please come to Toronto, Canada. I bet your live performances are sublime.

It reminds me of something you'd find in Stardew Valley. Beautiful

[@naturofemina580]

Bonjour Guilhem, j'ai eut l'immense plaisir de te voir aux rencontres de la régénération. Cette musique m'a complètement atteinte, c'etait merveilleux! J'ai rarement ressentis autant d'émotions en concert! Merci!!

[@MrMaitland79]

What a magical instrument.

I was expecting all the forest animals to start singing

[@Rotnchannel]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.. Thank you.

[@God-yb2cg]

wow, the hurdy sure is a versatile instrument, at first I thought I was hearing a synth

[@firebreatherinside]

Man you really put emotions in your art, thank you to share your feelings like that :) this song makes me dream. You are really creating a whole new landscape to the Hurdy. Please keep it up! Love and light

[@sammyt5569]

A lost art for sure I am glad to have heard this beautiful song. Thank you Guilhem

[@aftertaste05]

This is so soothing to listen to.

[@LadyTink]

still the most beautiful performance I've seen of a hurdy gurdy and that's saying something since I love this instrument deeply

[@olemann77]

Holy shit.. you alone changed how i picture sound and music in the middle ages thanks

[@Novascorian]

Wow. This is superb. Incredibly inventive use of the Hurdy Gurdy. Thanks for posting.

[@westonknight7474]

Mr. Guilhem Desq, I have stumbled onto another one of your wonderful videos. Just in case you you aren't aware of this, you are sooo very special and very gifted sir. Please continue to make these videos showing your absolute virtuosity of your instrument. It is a joy to watch your really cool technique and listen to your musical artistry.

[@billwesley]

Such absolute mastery of the instrument, astounding!

[@robg521]

Instruments that drone like the traditional Hardy Gordy or the Bagpipes are Not to my taste but this is incredible, entrancing, inspiring, and just simply wonderful. The adaptions and modernisation that have been made to this instrument are inspired. Absolute genius.

[@gothicgeshia]

this made my soul so happy

[@kevinj2525]

So beautiful. Wow, the hurdy gurdy continues to evolve.

[@majorbrighton]

The best I have heard from that instrument, your path is a clear one. Thank you for the insight.

[@maddimagpie]

Every time I listen to this song I just go into a place of zen and happiness. If I could, I would dance to this at my wedding. Thank you for sharing your talent and making the hurdy gurdy more beautiful than it already is

If I ever make some sort of fantasy film I will put music made on the hurdy gurdy. This just sounds so good.

[@richardbebewolf992]

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

[@YahDude]

7 years later and I'm still listening to your stuff bro!

[@catoffline]

Please, share more of your music, it is just awesome. Sounds fantastic!

[@LinkEX]

So I 'discovered' the existence of a Hurdy Gurdy just now. Aside from looking like a hoard of instruments crafted into one, it looks quite interesting to play.

[@LinkEX]

This song is probably the oddest mix of 'classy' instrument tones mixed with frivolous squeaky sounds I've heard so far. It works surprisingly well.

[@JSamIam]

thank you for that blessing.

[@barronvandeusen]

Every once in a while I remember that this song exists and my life is so much better for it.

[@birchsongsltd.6831]

Three videos in, and I had to buy this guy's vinyl record on Bandcamp.

[@mahmoudsabbour4175]

wow! really. I can't imagine how lovely it is. it is totally new type for my knowledge. appreciation.

[@maxbearman6419]

Oh that's incredible to witness your mind, emotion and body lost within creation with this instrument/ lover. Of yours. I applaud you. Just just absolute skill

[@makhos]

I would love to see this live

[@valdemarramirez2743]

My favorite piece of this crazy, great musician.

[@Yedjin]

I´m in love! This song! Easy to fall in love... one of the top 10 musics of my life!

[@JamesMiller_ShadowWalker]

This fella is truly the master of the Hurdy Gurdy!

[@coatltepetchia9854]

Congrats fiend. You're a great composer. A very powerfull melody, thanks for giving me this beautiful moment. Cheers from México

[@Kellerkind80]

very versatile instrument!

[@SmolPotatowo]

I just realised you're on Spotify! Love your work, always so beautiful and powerful.

[@Dallows65]

Reminds me of some of DubFX's presentations where he performed on the street. He made his vocals on the spot for display purposes and then combined them to make music right then and there. This carries that same interest in how its presented. Very well done!

[@GoddessLil-n2q]

I love this song and this instrument! Where else can u find the sounds of ten different instruments all wrapped up perfectly in to just one instrument that fits in ur lap.

[@user-wi9ee3rq7l]

Belle histoire, belle course... Merci Guilhem

[@avantlanuit]

excellent, j'aime beaucoup la manière d'aborder le déroulé mélodique _ magnifiques sonorités
