EP I ON BANDCAMP LINK IN DESCRIPTION :) Hainbach came around after his London show at IKLEKTIK the other day, We didn't really know what we were going to do but Darren had emailed me about a gumtree listing of a strange speaker to be taken away to save from being thrown away! i gave a donation to the churches charity, i didn't know when i was able to get it because Hainbach came over, luckily johnny offered to go get it the day Hainbach was here! Hainbach started jamming with the ELKA rhythm machine and it started to actually work and after a while we realised we could probably bash out a fun vintage Krautrock inspired EP! so that is exactly what we did :D you can get the EP on bandcamp! link in the description.

There's really nothing like this in the United States and I have to admit I'm a bit Jealous considering I grew up with a love for music creating music and have a heavy background in telephony. I've worked on some of the last remaining analog telephone selectors in America before everything went digital as any early 20 something year old. Nobody finds a reason to save and preserve this technology like they do in the U.K.. The amount of work that went into analog communications is astronomical and the engineers etc deserve to be remembered. The younger generation has no idea how good they have it. Much respect.

What a lovely time, thanks for letting me hang around again!

whooop whoop! what a fun EP!

[@kateapple1]

Oh, I was so hoping you guys would be friends! 🥰😍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

I think from the video it may be obvious what hainbach wrote kalte Hande about 😂

[@TheSlowDude]

​@@kateapple1I don't get it :-/

[@AlchemicalAudio]

I love seeing you guys hang out. Such different sensibilities and yet so much crossover in terms of willingness to share your knowledge and excitement about music. Beautiful people, doing beautiful things…

[@johnharvey2215]

It believe you have a Compton Rotofon loudspeaker, originally developed by the John Compton organ company for use with their electronic church organs, and later used by Makin Organs who took over the electronic organ activities of Compton when they went out of business in the late 1960s. Makin were still making Rotofons in 1983 (a local church in Bishop Auckland had two in their exceptionally large Makin organ installed that year). The idea was to produce the "chorus" sound of a traditional pipe organ when many stops were selected, which early analogue electronic organs could not achieve with static loudspeakers. Easily done today in software with digital electronics.

[@iainstewart1715]

Just found this little video showing the sound difference with and without rotofon: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnOoinSIlpVshc0si=NrcsIm5PcevID8RQ

[@deano023]

It may be "easily done today in software" but I refuse to believe it would sound even half as good as being in the same room as this awesome machine.

[@infectedrainbow]

I was thinking it sounded like it was designed to create a feeling of space for use with organs.

[@noonebesides]

I was wondering... Would it help to break up any resonance pressure nodes and antinodes that might develop and be uncomfortable for congregants when playing in a church.

[@harveywallbanger3123]

Mega cool

[@MarimeGui]

Somewhat unrelated but have you heard of Rotary Subs ? They're essentially a fan with blades moving around to the sound to move massive amounts of air to and from the room, functionally behaving like a gigantic sub... In most cases enough to make walls resonate ! While less of a music creation tool, that could be a cool thing to test out in the museum

[@chesthairascot3743]

Paul from PS Audio has an interesting commentary on those- He suggests they're better for movie-type sub-bass effects since they're rather noisy and need to be hidden away.

[@steelplasma256]

Daniel Fajkis posted a video half a year ago making the "Worlds Loudest Subwoofer" with a Rotary Subwoofer using the interior of his house as the sound cavity. The entirety of his house was shaking.

[@Lizlodude]

Yeah, that's what I though this was from the thumbnail! Once he opened it I'm thinking oh cool there are the blaaaawait those are speakers... wat

[@mjpeer]

You can smell the sound from the heated dust in the old electronic instruments, love the music❤

[@Eden_Laika]

I wasn't expecting this crossover, but in hindsight it seems blindingly obvious. Love it!

[@JimAlfredson]

Don't you mean "Hainsight"?

[@Alkatross]

This is a fabulous crossover.

[@sadie376]

I saw that speaker listed on Gumtree... I'm so glad the right person bought it!

[@Oklawolf]

Electronic musical instrument tech, here. I've seen all kinds of wacky speakers before, including many of those weird Yamaha elephant ear drivers like you showed, but nothing like that FrankenLeslie. That thing looks like someone's weird science experiment. I love it!

[@user-lx3th5on8l]

Those Yamaha elephant ear speakers you were talking about Yamaha used them in their electone organs in the mid 70s early 80s

[@JesseJuup]

Being in the same room with a Leslie, or other rotating speakers, it so awesome. A Stereo recordings don't really fully capture that amazing 360° immersion of awesomeness.

[@morbidmanmusic]

they got damn close.

[@lo-firobotboy7112]

I agree. I have a Yamaha D-80 in the studio with a built-in rotating speaker and not only does it at chorus and vibrato, it actually changes the way you the sound.

[@garrettmancuso4417]

I'd say you can get pretty close with a hi-fi system with room correction. I left a comment in the main thread about how shocked I was to hear the sound rotating around my living room. It's like those binaural sounds your supposed to listen to with headphones, except my speakers are 8 feet away.

[@DJRickDawson]

You guys work so well together!

[@jeremysmith4620]

This makes me want the flying cars we were promised. We all know 70's Kraut Rock sounds the best over the hi-fi system in a flying car. We'll put the newest data disk on and fly onto the Trans European (Sky) Expressway and jam out. Also the speaker looks like a contraption to throw snowballs (or rocks) not very fast while playing music. Two great tastes that taste great together. Maybe we could mount it on the flying car for maximum future integration.

[@snjert8406]

I love your comment. The perfect ADHD-fueled future crave.

[@vihreelinja4743]

i bet you are bad at driving a car. And now you want to fly :D

[@phillipzx3754]

"This makes me want the flying cars we were promised. " They came and went because nobody really wanted one. The "Taylor Aerocar" was available back in the late 50s.

[@gdj6298]

The organ speaker is - (or is similar to a design) - made by the Compton Organ Co. - later part of Jennings Musical Instruments, IIRC.

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

Oh this is a Compton!?

[@gdj6298]

@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I think so. I think the idea was not so much to give the slow Leslie swirl, but a slightly more subtle movement around the building - also to keep standing waves on the hop !

[@michaelcondon9806]

Those 'rotofons' definitely look *similar*, but this looks like an improved/modernized one... www.stancurtis.com/Compton%20organ%20pics/Compton%20Rotofon.jpg

[@RCAvhstape]

I like that natural phasing effect. It was immediately audible when he switched on the spinner motor.

[@user-lx3th5on8l]

Is that it's normal speed or can it rotate faster

[@theelmonk]

looks like it should have a joystick for collective pitch control

Two real artists and an amazing setup. The result is really great!!! 13:38 --> goosebumps!

What an absolute blast! It was a joy seeing you both make music together but also have candid joy at exploring the instruments and speakers. It was a lot of fun to watch!

[@MakerFabio]

Thanks to you guys for being crazy investing time and energy on this topic. You are great

[@RetroCabeza]

I love everything about this ❤ What a lovely, comforting crunchy sound.

[@mxslick50]

I always found it ironic and in a way sad that Laurens Hammond hated Don Leslie for designing a speaker that not only made the Hammonds sound SO MUCH better, but actually helped to make the Hammonds a success. Hammond actually decreed that ANY Hammond employee who even mentioned Leslie's name (or worse, was caught with a Leslie attached to his own Hammond at home) would be fired without severance or benefits. There is no sweeter sound than a Hammond B3 played through a Leslie....and no newer electronic emulation has ever been better than the 600+ pounds of heavy weight equipment of the B3/Leslie combo.

[@Stuartrusty]

Fantastic stuff! I love when two talented types get together with old gear. Off to contribute and download the EP. Then will record it onto cassette with my Sharp GF 555 for a real LOFI experience. Thanks so much for this!

[@fryloc359]

I've alwayd thought that minidisc suits the theme of his channel and music best.

[@wesbuchanan724]

This is a really good one. I loved seeing the creative process unfold. I think the true worth of the museum really shines through with this.

[@saradeemon]

this was so cool to watch and brought such a stupid grin to my face. thanks for sharing!! i can't wait to visit the museum one day! y'all rule. 🖤

[@CoLD.SToRAGE]

You lads need a Calor Gas heater in there! 🔥 😅

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

haha funnily enough i bought one for hainbachs arrival!!!!! but had to turn it off as it was too loud hahaha. but yeah that thing is a lifesaver! electricity sooo pricey its a lifesaver

[@turbokadett]

@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTERI'm with you on the cost of electricity but those Calor Gas heaters are a bugger for condensation as a by-product of the combustion process. Around all the vintage electronics more moisture is not a good thing. A solution I had to find quickly when my gas central heating packed up, and a single electric radiator was costing a tenner a day, was a cheap chinese knock-off Webasto diesel heater. A tenner of red diesel lasts me a few days and the intake & exhaust are external to the house.

[@dankdreamz]

I love everything about this channel! The content is always interesting and the hosts enthusiasm is contagious. Somehow he makes me feel nostalgic for an era I didn't even exist during. I really hope he gets picked up for cameos in videogames and movies. He would fit right in to the cyberpunk technodystopia esq universe. I can think of about a hundred animes that could have utalized his exuberance for their "ancient technology" shop keeps. All he needs is a couple guitar riffs and he could pretty much sell me anything.

[@TheDarrenJones]

Thanks for the name check, great to see and hear the speaker in action!

[@Metamerist625]

[@Randrew]

The Rotary Weirdie speaker sounds like something Pink Floyd would definitely have used if they had one. Also "Kalte Hande" ... Surely inspired by your environment!

[@wbfaulk]

They did use a Yamaha rotary speaker. An RA-100, I think. Oh! Like the one shown at 8:00. I think that one's an RA-50, but basically the same.

[@matesandorzalan960]

That jam at around 5:20 is amazing!

[@Maxxarcade]

The bit starting around 10:44 was beautiful. Almost reminds me of something from the old Castlevania games on the NES.

[@dundealshowdown]

This was fascinating to watch, loved it

[@thespazdragon]

That holy-looking speaker box has a sort of phaser sound to it. Incredible find.

[@guitarstitch]

Essentially, that's what it's doing. The "blades" have speakers already out of phase from the rear drivers, then the phase is continually shifting from the rotation. This is a purely mechanical phaser.

[@Beegpapijimbo]

The thumbnail had me convinced you built some sort of monstrosity based on a rotary subwoofer and I was terrified you finally became a sound based supervillain 😂

[@guitarstitch]

A rotary subwoofer connected to the low registers of the organ. Just imagine, if you will.

[@Double_Vision]

@@guitarstitch All that would be left would be to spin the organist.

[@TheInnerHalo72]

I thought the same thing! Haha

[@GizzyDillespee]

It definitely needs bigger speakers and a different speaker angle and maybe baffling... it's already baffling...

[@morbidmanmusic]

that is beautiful sounding. Thanks for the EXCELLENT music examples using it. It gives me the same feeling i get when I hear mixes I've done on acid. Rare when an effect gives that so well. Slow is good on that.

[@leonnaffin]

This I believe is my favourite video of you. I have watched nearly all from you and Heinbach and this is just my favourite so raw so nice music! It’s grate music and special addition! Thank you ❤

[@olGrandpaby]

that weird rotary speaker thing is really cool but the real highlight here is the EP you guys slapped together. I love it so much

[@AltGrendel]

Only one speed? I’m sure you can fix that.

[@R.Daneel]

I'm curious what it'd sound like if you inverted the phase of different combinations of those speakers. Would you get wild constructive/destructive interactions?

[@FortyHurts]

The effect is created through those interactions already, so messing with polarity probably wouldn't change much. No reason not to try it though.

[@padders1068]

Great work Guys! Truly mad Scientists, Musicians and Geniuses at work! Much ❤ and thanks to you all!
