HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? | FIRST TIME Hearing GOAT by Polyphia | Music Teacher Reacts

[@masonhundertmark7540]

The instrument is a digital Omnisphere preset I believe

[@jeffwilson3205]

Definitely some kind of instrument/synth plugin. He’s a pretty digital guy, and a plugin/daw wizard. And to the weird fingerings and intervals, it’s because he writes in the DAW, and then has to back out how to play the parts on guitar. It’s why almost all of their newer music seems has such unusual guitar work.

[@wheatthicks]

Yep! Trap bells.

[@burnethedragon7065]

Omnisphere bells.

[@K-R-O-L]

sounds like a kind of of a detuned vibraphone

[@EffUpAgain]

Don't know for their early stuff, but Tim got his own Archetype plugin now, and use QuadCortex, both developed with NeuralDSP. I linked what I could find in a direct comment a couple min ago on this video. I'm not a musician, can't explain it all, sorry.

[@Hundhammer]

In case you're interested, Polyphia released a "making of" video around the same time... in which he explains in depth how they did it and where that theme is from...

04.01.24 Hi there, Bud. Great reaction! No wonder why you were wondering what instrument they used in that opening. It's actually a saw blade, more commonly used in Norwegian pop music. Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@ShawkaReacts]

Well that explains it 😂

As a Bavarian I'd have sworn it was an Alphorn recorded from a distance of 70 km, sampled and synthesized, but I may be wrong... - Seriously, don't know if you've seen it, Polyphia also released a "Making of G.O.A.T." video at the same time, in which he explains in depth how he did it... Peace and love from Bavaria!

Tim has a video where he talks about his writing process for this song, it is not what you might expect. Worth a watch.

[@philflynn9161]

I saw an interview with Tim Henson. From what i remember, he was going for a trap sound. No idea what the instrument is❤

[@osvaldoalcaraz3637]

I really love the guitar play through of Chimera by them super sweet

[@SonnyPaints]

Check out Austin Archet, the drummer of Lorna Shore, his play through of their song "Cursed to Die". You won't be sorry!

[@sweatyunderarm]

the "turn" that you mention is just a quick bend and unbend of the low e string

[@ShawkaReacts]

That makes sense.

[@unseen370]

If you dig these guys you should give a listen to Plini. He runs in similar circles to them and is a one-man composer powerhouse.

[@stephendavis5481]

Kalimba was my first thought but I chalked it up to me not knowing more instruments lol

[@metalafro]

Someone please back me up here and recommend some Unprocessed and also Marcin. Thank You for the reaction, great insights!

[@ZachComa]

That sound is a pitch shifted loon sound sample. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoepc4h_fMuWgM0

[@smprather]

Look up Y2K's signature loon sound.

[@oskarroxstrom1349]

You should listen to ego death next time

[@liruichen]

I don't know the answer to that question🎉

[@SuperJAMiller]

The intro is an 8O8 machine.

[@wheatthicks]

No

[@raoulduke8720]

no he means the bell sound its just a normal bell synthesizer
