Playing on the GAMEBOY Mega Machine - Church Reverb In A Minor -

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

ITS NOT DONE! uypdate video coming next week Im finally getting onto finishing the gameboy megamachine for the next season at THIS MUSEUM IS NOT OBSOLETE so people can play it in its finished entirety. This vid was from a Patreon livestream the other night of me testing it, ahead of the next video on the gameboy Mega Machine here it is in action! if you want to see what is changing under the hood and download the 24 bit WAV version of this the link is in the description. i have made the filters stereo, and added a big modulation station to the setup which is mainly what im testing in this video, as it progresses you will see how the stereo filter really helps it sound extra funky, so best listening is in either headphones or speakers!

[@SpectrumDIY]

I dunno if you worry about how you sound or not, but it sounded amazing on my studio setup (6x12 with dual subs for whatever information that helps 😅)

[@SharpblueCreative]

Awesomeness in abundance. I’m listening on my Ferrari T350 headphones and it sounds awesome

[@SeattleFocusBlue]

Remarkable sounds. Great work. What that must feel like since you build this yourself. I'm constantly floored by what you create.

[@Bourinos02]

I don't know how to tell you this but it really moved me, this is one of your masterpieces!

[@DarkMetaOFFICIAL]

The textures dude omggg! When the deepness kicks in, around 8:45 and really fills out the whole range, i just. can't put into words. This machine's sound is so unconventional, so alien to the normal pure tones we hear our entire lives! just epic

[@Gyrbae]

Once completed, the Megamachine will become a point of pilgrimage for synth nerds. It just sounds divine. There will be missionaries appointed to spread the word of the gospel. Forgive me father for I have synthed. Let the holy spirit of the Megamachine guide you through your synthesis journey. And on the 7th day, LMNC rested. Amen.

[@MrRob33]

Yes

[@StepDub]

Atonal and diatonic masterpiece. Congratulations. Took me back 50 years to when I first heard Tangerine Dream. Never thought I’d hear the likes again but here we are. Thank you Sam.

[@RichardHartness]

Oh wow. I've not heard mention of Tangerine Dream in years. I have an OG poster of theirs advertising their DREAMTOUR U.S.A. for a performance in Portland. I mention that because my 8 yo pointed to it just his morning and was like "Hey Dad, what's that orange poster?" and I was able to discuss with him about the "old days" of synthwave. He's a bit to young to understand the difference between analogue and digital synth sounds but had I not needed to get back to work, we would have had a listening session. Anyway, I know it's a random tangent, but considering I just brought up Tangerine Dream to my kids, it was worth mentioning the providential moment.

[@graxjpg]

Not sure about this pieces atonality, much of it is diatonic. But love TD. Klaus Schulze too is one of my favorites.

[@aotorix]

Same here. Tangerine is so good

[@stevesrover]

Yes! It’s very Tangerine Dream!

[@BearbearbearbearbearbearRarrrr]

[@cambridgemart2075]

So atmospheric, I love it. It reminds me of some of The Orb's stuff. I so wish my old friend Andrew was around to hear this, he was a hardcore synth fan, building kit synths since the early 80s, building his own audio effects designs and, eventually, setting up his own recording studio; he would have loved this. RIP Andy.

[@planetmini417]

I keep coming back to this over and over.

[@BenjaminMaggi]

you're one of the most talented artis/engineer I've seen I'm my life you're on another level dude your accomplishments are out of this world, I cannot believe how much dedication and effort you put into your work, it's an inspiration for everyone on top of that you've an amazing channel! thank you !

[@swedebug2889]

This is some very good ambient sounds. 8 bars with different chords slowly looping while turning nobs for an hour or so.

[@JR-de9gv]

9:00 most melodic and beautiful thing ive ever heard and its a bunch of gameboys pinned to a wall lmnc you absolute mad genius keep on making stuff like this 🙏

[@thomaswiwchar1661]

Sam! That was beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. You have to tools and talent to score film soundtracks that could compeate with Hans Zimmer and Draft Punk. Once the pandemic is over I'm definitely going on a trip to the UK to visit your museum. You got yourself another patreon supporter.

[@CraftYourDreamLB59]

The same thing came to my mind. There's also a touch of Pink Floyd, and Vangelis, and some others. It's amazing.

Just twenty seconds into this video and I hear myself saying to myself, "Man, he's really growing this channel in ways I never anticipated. Great work, man, just great work.

[@LucasLaffineur]

Damn that's cool. Been here for a long time and almost never comments, but I have to say this is one of my fav video ever. Not only about the awesome Gameboy MegaMachine, but everything behind it, the process, the time spent, and the music made, insane ! Thank you !

[@Fresees]

The sound of this machine is just glorious. It sounds so spacious and effortless, and those trance-y vibes I’m getting…

[@MrGeoffashley]

This is amazing to witness…how long has this process been, almost 2 years. I’m so stoked to be watching this, man. Thanks so much!!

[@emb1995]

There is truly something special about this piece. It’s much greater than the sum of its parts (both the machine and this track). The sound is so complex, that I believe it’s indescribable.

[@sophiew.1499]

This is one of the single most beautiful music performances I have ever seen in my whole life. The fact that you build this monster of a drone is mind bending. You are nothing but inspirational.

[@cubecubesson6779]

I was literally sucked into a K hole here without consumption. Oh my word ! Some genius at play here. Special performance right here! Thank you so much

[@olavl8827]

Masterpiece. Such great timing. I understand this is all improvised so almost impossible to re-create. We're privileged to have it here on KZbin, let's hope it never goes away.

[@theshindigg]

Totally. Spitfire Audio needs to do a sample Synth too. It would not be the same, but their reproductions are really good.

It's a beautiful thing when you find the perfect blending of absurd meme and genuinely a beautiful instrument. It really has such a lovely sound.

[@h2o1969]

I was thinking the same.

[@chaoscope]

Absolutely beautiful. Felt like a cyberpunk church organ. Herr Bach would have approved had he been born 20 years ago.

[@ExcessiveSpareTime]

Reminds me more of Robyn Hitchcock's older stuff, when he was working on borrowed synthesizers from his bandmates.

[@dxtxzbunchanumbers]

[@UkiMalefu]

yeah, but I was thinking Vangelis/original Blade Runner, not more modern cyberpunk (but it could still work)

[@plurimon8636]

You probably meant Hain Bach...and he definitely approves of this :D

[@chaoscope]

@@UkiMalefu For sure, it all depends on your musical upbringing, I can see where you're coming from. AFAIAC, I imagined who Sam would have been had he been born two centuries ago when he would have had no access to any computer whatsoever, thinking a church organ would have been the closest thing he would have had in mind. Babbage's differential engine and Jacquard's loom would have been off limit, being the computers of their time.

[@johnruschulte2593]

I like everything you do because it’s fun to watch. This performance however is on different level than what I have seen and more importantly heard from you.This has film score written all over it if you could ever find the right one. Thanks for what you do.

[@tacmonkey]

Sensitive topic, to say the least. The whole "what is art?" discussion.. Many would like to be all-including, so its an open goal. Chuck mud at a wall "I made an art!" Sadly, in many contexts a definition is needed, and I wont say I have one that fits all. For my own sake I tend to look at the process, more than the end result really. The creative process, involving investigate and experimental phases, evolving the expression and product, for me that is essential, and what defines art. This is much due to so many times seeing aspiring creatives discovering a technique or material that gives a impacting effect, and just merely poking at it a bit then presenting it as their art, without finding a single significant thought, provocation or expression in the process. So, Sam painstakingly crafting a one of a kind behemoth, sourcing parts and working out the kinks over a long time period sure falls with my definition of art.

[@PhillN001]
