House of Waters - Black Mallard (Live at Rubber Tracks)

[@relicofgold]

Saw these guys in LA in September. The sounds Mr. Fukushima got out of his bass were off the charts amazing. The performance was, imho, more satisfying than the headliner.

[@elongatedmusket7430]

That bass player is a force of Nature. This is truly amazing.

[@relicofgold]

Mr. Fukushima is off the charts amazing in the melodies and sound qualities he produces.

[@DexterTheater]

best solo not filmed ever.

[@dedecrf9621]

I really need this recording on spotify!!!

[@RC2214]

The string Instrument I have never heard play like that, Very Nice! :-)

[@judahlionheart1062]

I absolutely love the sound of a Dulcimer and you sir play it wonderfully

[@LividLibruh]

This is the stuff that needs to be played on the radio.

[@NotiFawkes]

I'm not sure how to quit replaying this. Epic and a half!!!

[@deserthighwayband]

Open your ears and mind people. So refreshing to hear such beautiful melodic and colorful sounds people. These kids are killing it! There is hope for the future

[@ryann2674]

And the Oscar for best cameraman goes to... "Oscillating Fan #1", for it's work on THIS video. I feel personally robbed for not being able to see the end of that solo at 3:00...as the camera just slowly pans off and away in the wrong direction.

[@julianmitchell3035]

I feel you, fam. I feel your pain!

[@sambeliveau1042]

that floor tom sounds filthy, I love it.

[@Marunius]

Can't help but wonder what kind of music THEY listen to. Amazing musicians!

[@brajkraft]

whenever I see a new post from this channel I never get disepointed. God damn that solo!!!

[@RC2214]

The string instrument sounds like a harp and a xylophone fused, NICE!

[@cal4410]

Bass face for days!!! 👍🏻

[@iamwisdom6175]

Applauds to the Dulcimer Player!!!!!!!

[@soulslot5369]

He's the man!

[@TheEnergy31]

WOW! I'm in a loss of words!

[@nicolaspascual2180]

Excellent song, and superb musicians. I wouldn't have rushed the last part, I'd rather keep the same pace throughout the whole song.

[@mr.thinwheel1298]

So unique, this is awesome!

[@GeoScorpion]

[@BookooZenny]

Hey that dulcimer player's goin OFF, let's film ANYONE BUT HIM On another note, this is fucking good

[@jeagerpoelse]

this max guy played with cory henry on the charles barkley track too, straight killer

[@isaiahsealy9127]

jeagerpoelse gnarles barkley

[@fragwagon]

Blazing hot hammers!

[@eggnogthespacecadet3392]

The dulcimer player reminds of the steel drum guy who played with jaco

[@cperception]

7:03 what time do they play? its obviously not 4/4 lol

[@spalmer48]

I saw you guys live the other day as a support act for snarky puppy. Absolutely loved you! Mental dulcimer playing! Personally I loved having more bass live, and think the recorded sound might carry a bit more weight if the bass was slightly louder at times. Just my opinion though, keep it up!

[@nathanielsaxe3049]

bass needs more high end

[@diddlysquater]

If aliens came to Earth tomorrow and told me to give them one good reason why they shouldn't destroy humanity, I'd show them this.

[@LividLibruh]

Cheddarbucket Fenton Seriously. This group could save earth from destruction.

[@caldavis978]

Cheddarbucket Or Danny DeVito, just to play it safe

[@chikamichi]

*PPPPFFFZZZIIIOOOOUFFFF* (sound of a Earth collapsing in a micro-black hole) *TSS-TSS-TSS-tss-tss-t..-t..* (sound of an vanishing Alien ship that actually makes sound in space for no-one to hear anymore *sad*)

[@dtsdigitalden5023]

Funny you should mention this, I've always thought music on this level is what might save us from destruction. And, it would be the most tragic loss should we cease to be. :)

[@NRG2]

Cheddarbucket I appreciate the sentiment. I have actually thought about this before and I think I would show them Stravinsky or Mahler. Since the aliens would not be able to identify culturally or perhaps even percieve notes the way we do, I think the mathematical concepts of structure in the 12 tone series and the ambiguity used to divert from that was expressed at it's height around the turn of the century. Thus expressing the greatest intelligence we have displayed in art so far. But this is a seriously cool project FO SHO! ;)

[@miguelmarques5086]

Is there some bright mind that can tell me what sound effect the bass player uses at 3.50? Thank youu! Love!

[@MotoFukushima]

Hi Miguel, I'm just using guitar Whammy there. Thanks!!

[@sakets]

I have listened to the audio of this song atleast a 100 times. Today for the first time I saw the video. Its very disappointing to see that at some of the most crucial moments instead of focusing on how the instruments are being played the cameraman/editor put their faces on priority. From 3:00 - 3:25...I cannot express how sad I am for not being able to see how the Dulcimer was being played. Don't know if there is any live video showcasing that. I wont be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

[@Gaboubass]

Oh my !!! The time signature on the chorus is insane!! I tried to figure it out, but it is really complicated. I guess it starts with a 5/4 then a 6/4, but after that... lol Any help, please?

[@dedecrf9621]

I think it's 5/8 - 6/8 - 6/8 - 10/8 (5-8 + 5/8) or something like that

holy flup!

[@madmonksmekshop]

Nigh-criminally underviewed performance.

[@SeriousLiveMusic]

See House of Waters in the UK this May! Info and tickets at serious.org.uk/HoW Bath, Liverpool, Norwich, London and Manchester

[@sarasoto8183]

so the bass solo just happens to start at 4:20.... ok ;p

[@prandi2008]

what instrument is that at 2:46 ?

[@teseronald5749]

Idk

[@ehehbirdman]

Reminds me a lot of Dirtwire, although they are not as "jazzy" (amazing band btw, if you dig this you should give them a listen)

[@cosmicreliefrecords]

Anybody know what pedal the bass player is using? If it even is a pedal at least...

[@cosmicreliefrecords]

Oh man! wasn't expecting the man himself to reply! I'll have to check some of those pedals then. Thank you and keep doing what you're doing!

[@vinayakpant]

Which pick up is Max using?

[@ChrisFocusRS]

Hey merk I came here cause of you but anyways great song 👍

[@slaphead3791]

Cand from Merkmusic

[@teseronald5749]

He deserves a skill cape for that dulcimer solo

[@barrilcriativo]

the first note are out sync hahaha but the all video are amazing! keep with the good work

[@guitarplayernoteworthy2857]

I can barely tune my six string!!

[@pectenmaximus231]

This is unreal....

[@Roro-rg9mf]

Didn't enjoy the bass solo all that much, but aside from that this was an experience

It has a lot of Edmar Castañeda style

[@thechickendude2242]

Who is here from merk music

[@creepydude1237]

me

[@chintansheth8534]

if you're truly jazz, give the drummer some time for his bit

[@rickym.9648]

sounds like a halo theme

[@Moxiemuso]

Some stunning sound! Phenomenal! BTW, we released our first video of the Moxtape Sessions series - Afterlife! You can check it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJjYoXxogKyFd7c Thank you!
