Visiting Willem Twee Studios - a modern early electronic music studio

[@MarkoDeLaVoota]

for the people who love sounds , not just the melodies, but sounds

[@paullee3660]

Yes. Music is just beautiful sounds.!doesn’t have to be melody or harmony rhythm. I think if the sound makes you feel something, then it’s music. In fact it doesn’t have to be beautiful. It could foreboding, dangerous, curious.

[@Hainbach]

See you all in bit! This video runs close to 30 minute, so bring snacks and beverages.

[@jameshodson3450]

I could watch this all day, what an incredible place! You looked like a kid at Christmas in the middle of that composition

[@stuckinthestation]

like mr Kulk says around 10:48.. people forget the time.

[@joaotome7916]

I Guess Hauska would be the pianist for such performance mentioned on the video. @Hauskamusic

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

HA ! Captain Crunch - I LUW this vibe - litterally VIBES ! This is Marvelous ! 🤠

[@russianvoodoo]

"I'm going for a quick smoke. You know what to do". Time goes fast. 50 (100? 200?) years later Hainbach is still there and becomes a new "lighthouse keeper". Invites next chosen to sit there for another eternity.

[@cryptout]

russianvoodoo this reply resonates with me.

[@__teles__]

How do I apply?

[@russianvoodoo]

Tele Synth you can’t apply. You can only receive an invitation to the “studio”. Only the chosen one, who knows how to send signals to the other side will have a chance to receive a pattern for organ which unlocks secret door to the studio.

[@Erudotic]

I can imaine him becoming a resident here, wow, it's sooooo his thing! If anyone knows how to make good use of this amazing studio it be Sir Hainbach!

[@syncdestroyer]

@@russianvoodoo amazing

[@kessitooo]

I was one of Hans' students at the HKU in the end of the 90's and feel blessed, he is a very warm and great guy and a great inspirator, I am happy to see that he managed to get this awesome project going! Sine on guys!

[@sureshotstudio]

Same here! only early 00's. very cool.

[@TRUEiMPROrecords]

Love the free flowing "dub"style of his set up.. and having the original, processed and feedback signals at hand is genius. Also: I'm going to start saying "SOUNDS TOO SYNTHY" at techno parties. What a great character :D

[@CuriousMarc]

The visual beauty of the equipment is as stunning as the sounds that come out of it.

[@Seth-hc2bj]

This is such a wonderful experience, especially as an American audio engineer who's never been to Europe. Just seeing different studios in different countries is fascinating to me! Thanks so much for making this!

[@marsmediapro]

Something so nice; I must watch this twice!

[@chrn5207]

It's incredible how organic everything sounds

[@lonedrone]

Fantastic show! My father was an audiologist and had a stack of test equipment in his lab (this was in the 60's-70's). When I (as a young boy) started getting obsessed with synthesisers in the the mid-70's I never considered this gear usable for making music. I do remember that he had a Bode ring modulator (which I knew Tomita used), but I had no idea how to integrate it. At that time I was learning how to use my first synth (EMS AKS) which kept me plenty occupied (and it provided ring modulation).

[@matsewunderlich]

Hammer😀 was für eine Schaltzentrale da sind Klangexperimente ohne Grenzen möglich.....Danke für diesen tollen Besuch 👍

[@GL-uy3fd]

It’s crazy how this kind of music relaxes to the point I almost pass out

[@PascalBlondiau]

The "Lock-In Amplifier Duet", at 14:20 to +/- 18:00 just deserves applause. A masterpiece of equilibrium.

[@yehabon]

When you have a room like that, you know it's going to be interesting.

[@fakihkademoglu2806]

You are a constant source of inspiration and nutrition for our minds. The service you give to the community is immense and invaluable dear Hainbach. Endless gratitude !!!

[@cmd_f5]

Well stated. Healing and nutrition through sonic landscapes of life's journey

[@waltersmetak]

Long, deep drone from the pipe organ in the intro was killer! Just as amazing as the rest of the studio. Amazing!

[@lfcreations8718]

Without first seeing the pipe organ, I could have sworn it sounded like a modular synth drone. Talk about a huge shock when I saw the organ. WOW.

[@kramerdesign9443]

Incredible. Easily one of the most inspiring studio setups I’ve ever seen.

[@thebkstank2095]

If I've learned two things from Heinbach, it's that there's music everywhere in places we don't always think of and that Germany has excellent mass transit

[@Nachtdwaler]

​@MomoTheBellyDancer He uses both to travel from Germany to The Netherlands though.. I'd say public transport is pretty good in both countries, albeit on the expensive side.

[@MelomaniaRecordings]

​@@Nachtdwaler i am fairly certain that he starts out in Rotterdam in the Netherlands because that place he walks around in the beginning looks exactly like the place where the Worm in Rotterdam has a little residence where artists can sleep, it looks familiar to me since i was recently there myself... and the fact that he was playing in the worm kinda makes me more certain of this but correct me if i'm wrong

[@Nachtdwaler]

@@MelomaniaRecordings You might be right. Don't come near Rotterdam too often so I would not known. Ps: Ik dig je muziek echt hard. Keep it Free! 1love.

[@PastelComGini]

You did it! You finally found someone crazier than you. (In a good way)

[@garrettdebell]

This sounds incredible. Nothing even remotely close near me that I know of. Exciting!

[@donaldpriola1807]

Ambient music, to me, is about place, and this video is all about being in that place. Thank you for taking us along on your journeys into experimental music.

[@MartinDoudoroffLLC]

This is amazing. (I imagine Hainbach is now madly tearing apart his studio and reorganizing it.)

[@Hainbach]

Oh I did! First thing after I came back until late into the night. Now the Regietisch is getting work.

[@sonicartefacts]

@@Hainbach bring some köln style to neuköln :)

[@SharpblueCreative]

I’m instantly reminded of the sound effects used on the tv series Space 1999 - especially season 1. Love this concrete Stockhausen experimental music. Love the fact he has a ARP2500 with wings too. I used to dream about that synth since seeing it in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Great stuff here.

[@walterinpv8499]

"I'm looking for an artist..." (27:00) There's your opening Hainbach. Go for it! This video totally captured me...I could feel your excitement, too.

[@blaisebaileyfinnegan]

Prepared piano processed real time through test equipment... It's the Nils Frahm / Hainbach collab I've been dreaming of!

[@russell_szabados]

blaisebaileyfinnegan I would love to hear Nils Frahm & Hainbach collaborate. Great comment.

[@rubster1975]

Great vid! I'm Dutch, but never knew there was a place like this in the country. Being a sound engineer, i'll have to visit ✌✌

[@FondueBrothers]

Absolutely fantastic. love the analogue computer and Hainbach's Rythmic jam.

[@mylordboudewitz]

Willem twee studio's is great. Did 2 classes there. The great instruments nice people and good atmosphere are very inspiring.

[@JanvanDale]

Wow!! I would feel like a little enthusiastic kid in a candystore, if i would be there. Thank you for sharing this. I think it would be awesome bering there.

[@bernii4515]

bin immer wieder dankbar, dass es leute wie dich gibt. gruesse aus frankfurt.

[@Jota.Barrakero]

19:02 pffff what a beautiful sound,nice video,thanks!

[@CashMattock]

I have to watch this at least a dozen times. There’s so much to take from this in so many ways. My mind is blown!! I can even begin about that hitachi computer! Wow just wow!!

[@ELEKTROGOWK]

great that there is still someone who is making sounds with old electronic devices. I know Lock-In amplifiers and Rohe&Schwarz from my work where we measure low voltages.

[@johnpapiewski8232]

So impressive, back to basics, must be incredible fun!!

[@ProfessorHumblesDelusions]

Astounding! It’s like making music with a gigantic defibrillator. ❤

[@shadowhenge7118]

He should broadcast some of the sounds around 12:00 on the frequencies SETI is listening on.... you know... just to keep them on their toes.

[@modmodell8897]

absolutely amazing what Hainbach made with all this oscillators and wired sound sources..

[@KozmykJ]

Haha such synchronicity ! 💫 While I watched this I ha on another Tab the Iceland Volcano Livestream; with the Live wind noise. Then in your piece you brought synthesized wind nose as well.

[@georgeharris407]

This studio would have to be almost unique and I can imagine that you were like a child in a toy shop! Thank you for the tour.

[@ryanmorris6388]

the look of glee on your face when Hans started adding was great, im glad you had so much fun

[@annekedebruyn7797]

Thank you for this! These kind of studios are such a gem.

[@basbertrand1850]

Love it! And what an amazingly likable, passionate guy Hans is. Thank you

[@mark_fox_music]

Excellent episode. Some lovely shots of the city on the train journey and then such a beautiful studio/workspace. Quite a lovely moment where you discuss the 3 tape machines and he says people love working with tape, they just have their heads down enjoying the moment and not looking at a computer screen...That is so true and we should get back to more tactile production.

[@theuniverseisnotperfect5816]

This place looks amazing. I did not know there was anything like this around in the Netherlands.

[@waltmodul7948]

It feels like finishing a journey !

[@aftertheendtimes]

Hainbach Thank you for your great interesting videos, You are a great and fine soul. ;D Love from Sweden

[@elecsoul8309]

Best Hainbach video yet!

[@TheDem1on]

Das hat Spass gemacht. Danke Hainbach fürs zeigen....

[@BottleBass1977]

Great video (as always). Loved the nice little Lorenz Attractor / transform thing going on the oscilloscope :)

[@ArturTadevosyan]

Thanks Hainbach! Thank you for sharing it with us!!

[@sjoerdvanloon]

Aah super nice, this is in my hometown. Have been to the studio in the Toonzaal / W2, many times. Awesome place, awesome people.

[@Erudotic]

Droooooooooooooool!!! Next best thing to heaven, wat een ongelooflijk waanzinnig gave studio!!!

[@Globularmotif]

This place is incredible!

[@ConwayBob]

Thank you, Heinbach, for making this video and for making it about as long as it needed to be. I appreciate your giving so much time to Hans to talk about and to demonstrate some the equipment in the studio before sharing your experiments with it. What a wonderful facility, beautiful people, great possibilities, and satisfying sonic results.

[@sonicartefacts]

Proud to see my fellow Brabanders doing it right!

[@alpin2007]

Thank you! A great discovery for me this morning

[@davemassie3726]

AMAZING! Shine on you crazy Diamond!

[@themiltongroupstudios7943]

Seem like you’re a kool dude Bro , I enjoy the videos and ……… glad to have you back

[@justinb9387]

it looks like a russian cold war control center - great to see someones keeping this old equipment still working - all looks tip top condition - superb

[@skaneverdies]

Hits on so many levels. The physical studio is itself a work of art and could easily just exist silently in a gallery and still be impressive. Of course, that's to say nothing of it as an expressive instrument. Amazing work.

[@temporoboto]

ACE! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@julianedwardes8290]

Very nice video, Hans is such a wonderful guy with incredible knowledge. It’s the most amazing place

[@Lea_Der_777]

Great place .. Looks like a hell for electronics service ...

[@MrLarsDF]

Pure Love for sound!!😊😊 What a Joy to watch🙏🤗😁. Thanks!

[@VladyYakovenko]

This is absolutely incredible

[@lfcreations8718]

All I can say is wow. Very creative and clever. I do not see this old test equipment as test equipment at all. This equipment is definitely the brain child behind modern music, and music to come. Keep creating!

[@danaminyip]

wow mind blowing! Hans is on another level

[@baileycarthew4381]

A whole room to make a snare drum patch, nice...

[@BadChizzle]

Cool Cool Cool ! ! ! Loved it... thank you!

[@sunnybeingcreative]

beautifully shot, my friend.

[@Hainbach]

Thank you, that was not easy being a one person operation

[@cspr72]

So great that you made a video of this beautiful place. This is where I got hooked on modular and analog. And the people here are amazing at bringing life to the studio with lots of workshops and performances around it.

[@DaveMenkehorst]

Yeah! Finally you meet up!

[@davehall6270]

This is bloody nutty and brilliant!

[@adrianstoness3903]

candy of exploration loving the analog computers too :)

[@Quadropol]

Real epic, thanx for posting Hainbach !

[@casiokid5490]

watching you respond to his search for rhythm gave me chills

[@LucasDegen]

What a great video! Thank you for sharing. Always welcome to come visit The Netherlands.

[@mathieumorel448]

Holly synth.... Fantastic sir! thanks

[@stuartdennis8506]

Amazing sounds

[@cray56]

Thank you for this. I performed in that hall back in 2000. A long way from Australia.

[@florisvanhoof]

Real fun place! I processed my last record through these machines.

[@georgeredpath5394]

This is the best video I have ever seen on this studio! I work on equipment similar in my telecoms job. I would love to go there some time and see what broadcast techniques and synthesis techniques overlap with real Telecoms equipment! Wonderful stuff. I am sure it was a joy. You would probably spend a few months there with 0 boredum!

[@DanHillman]

With the mix of ethereal sounds, the perspective wobble from the auto camera stabilisation and binarual thing going on when he's blending the conversaion audio from the camera and the voice recorder this is pretty trippy in places.

[@Ascsoms]

"Frequency Curtain". Great description.

[@delfiobacco7156]

the track you built in there is gorgeous, really really good. thanks for sharing all this.

[@PaulChabot]

Such a beautiful setup...a sound creators toolbox...tool-shed!

[@AliasJimWirth]

This is a trip. Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@DarkSideofSynth]

Probably among the most haunting sounds I've ever heard. Wonderful fifties' spaceship, I mean... studio ;)

[@loomPEDAL]

one of my fave vids of hainbach's i have to say, and one my fave tracks he's created on YT - just beautiful.

[@messiermartin5760]

Erfreut und präzis;Dunst von Wolken mit Metallpartikeln. Spaß klang

[@ashleympuenteperpetualash9536]

The textures!!! This is lovely :) Thank you

[@keepitshortnsweet]

Best YT video ever.

[@SonnyGreenwichJr]

That was amazing what a crazy place! Now that's a studio! Haha! From ridiculously windy Ireland! ☘️💪🏽👀👍🏽☘️

[@mattwillis3219]

This is one of the most nicest videos I've seen in a long time, Thank-you Hainbach, this is very special

[@jawoody9745]

This place is fascinating!

[@fonitronik]

Very interesting video. Thank you! 21:39 Serge seem to be a perfect companion for the lap gear.

[@blackseastudiohk]

thanks hainbach, nice job

[@jamesvalentino7024]

Epic!
