IGORRR Behind The Scenes: The 5 Strangest Instruments Found On His Records | Metal Injection

[@Grasses0n]

It's impressive how this guy finds music in everyday objects. They're definitely one of the most creative bands out there.

[@Bladavia]

I love that they own a shit ton of expensive audio gear, ordered a double keyboard harpsichord for Savage Sinusoid, but they still decided to hack a gaz bottle into a DIY steel tongue drum instead of buying one :D 23 days until the album drops guys, this is gonna be so good !

[@andresjesushuesos191]

I'm worried about another question: which assholes dislike this?

gotta admit himilaya massive ritual sounds pretty mean with the grinder going (sounded like it was even in the same key or very close?) whoever edited this was really clever about how they put the clips to the music. igorrr is fucking amazing.

[@that1dude735]

This takes talent beyond instrumental talent

[@queentantrumofficial]

I didn't think labels signed artists like this any more. Wonderful.

I always loved the song Robert, and I would have never guessed what sound that was

[@samuelmercier3635]

I guessed it was some sort of alluminium sheet, but I wouldn't have guessed it was a cookie box of all things. This guy is a genius

[@melancolielupine2023]

I am so glad to see that Igorrr is appreciated in other countries, not just France. I thought that it was a "niche" music. Anyway, I love your art guys, much love xOxO

[@ВетрулькинЛуд]

Omg you make me fall in memories into 80ths, pre-digital era. Not many possibilities but a lot of imagination. We were mining the coolest sounds from everything around. The weird phaser effects were making from an acoustic guitar by the spoons on strings. The Wah-wah effects were making by putting the mic in and out of the glass jar. The endless experiments with two bobbin tape recorders. The complicated circuits to get any kinds of acoustic feedbacks and distortions. And those days (very later Soviet Union) there appeared a lot of industrial abandones around with huge sounding objects to record. What a times! Happy to see people who make sound today not only with mouse and controllers, hehe. Thank you Gautier and Sylvain.

[@botanic3428]

The amount of creativity needed to make these sound effects doesn't change, whether it's via computer or like this doesn't matter too much. PC just makes it a bit easier to twist things you recorded and or get the sound you want to

[@nenissaK]

^^ that's very interesting and also sounds like a lot of work, creativity and "analog fun" :D Just like in this video!

[@jmpsthrufyre]

Great comment

[@ВетрулькинЛуд]

@@nenissaK Thank you! Yes, indeed. I think filling the process itself with soul is always being imprinted to result, it's hearable in final recordings or any product. Guys in video perfectly feel that magic :) P.S. Thank you for subscribing, glad to see you!

[@ВетрулькинЛуд]

@@botanic3428 Thanks for opinion. If I get you right I'd don't agree. Yes today I make mostly digital sound design, of course it's much easier and and effort-saveable. But there is a huge difference between analogic and digital recordings. Firstly the analogic one has the air breath of the whole rec stage, it's almost impossible to simulate by digital methods. And the most important differince in my opinion is... It's the same thing I just wrote above to @NenissaK. Trying to explain I'd compare photo shot with digital and analogic camera. With the similar technical quality settings of both. On digital one you have the terabyte SSD and easily can shot thousand pics like a machinegun. To choose the best pics then comfortably sitting at home. But having only a few 35 mm cassettes with film tape you need always keep you hunter's eye sharpen, no space to mistake! And the value of every frame becomes much higher, you can't allow youself miss any small detail. This practice training improves you artistic sense of view wayway more I think. You can see that difference if compare modern and oldschool film movies. With all that technical lacking -- don't you notice how way accurate every frame stage is set in any small detail? Just because the filming tape and workset is shortly limited. That's the thing we loose with progress and technological simplification. IMHO. The same with audio: to make a hapidrum from gas tank by hand is a different thing that to copy-paste it from Kontakt library in a few clicks like many breakcore bands do. No, it still keep the warm of human hand.

[@TheShadowQ]

This is absolutely phenomenal, I want to see as many videos like this as possible

[@honeybadger6418]

The production quality is downright amazing. So clean and crisp every track

[@divinefallfromgrace]

Why am I not at all surprised 😆 As for Numero 3; "Guys, we can't get a Tibetan tongue drum, anyone any ideas?" Gautier:- "Une moment..." 🤣

[@connorsol]

that chord change at 1:07 is the reason I live for IGORRR! love metal too but to me that is the sound that only Igorrr can deliver

[@theGiapponello]

Is this a track that already came out or you think it will be a S&D one?

[@theGiapponello]

nevermind i found it. It's Nervous Valtz, from the upcoming one

[@connorsol]

With Klone, Gojira and Igorrr, among others, France is very well represented in the heavy metal scene.

Pit Bulls In The Nursery

[@melancolielupine2023]

As a french metalhead, may I suggest also bands like: Eths, Lofofora, Mass Hysteria, Svinkels, Seul, Pipedreams, Watcha, Pleymo, GHB, DK Dance, Stupeflip, Ultra Vomit, Les Ramoneurs de Menhir, Bananes Métalliques? Some are punk bands, some are neo metal/hip hop inspired, some are indus, cyber metal, but trust me, Eths and DK Dance are true gold. Female voices. And Lofofora is cult in France. Enjoy ! Yes we have a huge metal scene in France, and I am proud of it. It allows to forget shitty french music like Maitre Gims or Jul. Sidenote: France has also very good, skilled, talented people in the rap/hip-hop scene. Few examples: VII, Furax, Scylla, Swift Guad, Reda l'Aborigene, Juks, Lucio Bukowski, KouzR2R, Davodka, Vald, Al K-pote, Hugo TSR, CRS, Orelsan, Les Casseurs Flowters, the girls: Keny Arkana, Casey, La Gale (Switzerland), Lala&ce...

[@peratattica]

one of the best things is that you can insert basically any sort of sound in an Igorrr song and it will still sound good

[@kevinchills]

I love this approach to creating and the fact that they are willing to think both inside and outside the cookie box. The camera inside the steel drum was merlin!

[@PeakyPounder12]

With the second song uploaded on KZbin I was worried this release would be to Metal, but after this video I'm sure this is going to be a epic and refreshing album again!

[@plankdorodo3122]

I don't know, I think the recorder is having too much interference in his work. He is using more traditional riffs and grooves, some of the baroque and erudite elements are missing, also the strange experimentalism in his electronics works, I still thinking this album will change a lot his style to something less strange to catch a bigger public

[@dramadestroyer825]

Anarco Coletivista I do hope he continues to upload the strange shit aswell

[@Zeylo89]

some of these examples arent even on the new album they are from older albums, also sadly yes the new album became for my taste too metal

This is so damn awesome, I really like your thinking. I've thought about completely different stuff i'd want to record, like an old school diesel locomotive and start engines and much more. But the most unique is probably a number of nails in a tire that hits the fender and works like a small music box, but with darker notes. I'm so looking forward to the upcoming album release! I love your originality!
