Turning A Space Into An Instrument

The hardest thing for me when playing live is: How do I start? Since much of my set is improvised, finding a good starting point to jump off from is important. When I was asked by Frictions to play the MVG Museum in Munich I immediately know I had to play the room.

I love that you've got a Nagra SAK ! 👍🏻 If you want the best SAK for electronics repair, have a look at the Victorinox Hercules, it's got philips in two sizes and tiny pliers 👍🏻😀 Thank you for your awesome videos !

[@spacetrucker2196]

So civilized to be able to take a train to your show.

[@kimtae858]

Reminds me of the "Playing the Building" installation by David Byrne back in 2005. "It featur[ed] a retrofitted antique organ, placed in the first-floor gallery, that controls a series of devices attached to various architectural parts of the building. The results is an echoed, ominous orchestra: water pipes become flutes, beams become percussive instruments, and so forth."

[@Psionetics]

I love this channel. Don't ever stop, art needs artists like you

[@RiddimWook10]

"artist" lmao, random banging on metal is "art", yeah sure.

[@SOBINTAXIDRIVER]

"There seems to be a lot of possibilities to bang things lightly with mallets, and maybe do some electromagnetic field recording" I love music because of that, because you can do your things in so many unpredictable ways, no matter how simple or overcomplicated you want it to be. You want to record conversations, and sample them to make a rhythm out of it? You can. Want to record the blank, chaotic noise of AM radio and make them an ambient instrument? You can. Almost everything is possible with music, and I love this.

[@chesthairascot3743]

Can we get a supercut of you walking around tapping on objects with 100% dry mix where it still captures the reverb/size of the room? It's charming in the 'Patrick Stewart in a ball pit' kind of way.

[@d.g.rohrig4063]

During the early 1990’s when I was heavily influenced by industrial music and worked in kitchens, I used to utilize the sink sprayer in everything metal to make music.

[@loopinnerthe]

The importance for an artist to feel a deep connection and also to feel they have explored with satisfaction the possibilities of a subject and then to be gifted by serendipity in the final creation. That's how this feels I think you ticked all those boxes and came back bubbling with excitement. Thank you for making this video for us.

[@healthytrade]

The shots of the fair with the music were absolutely enchanting!

[@rampuga9531]

@1:17 when he smiled and laughed I laughed as well. Then I thanked him when he said I sounded great. Pure joy, I love it! Great video as always. P.s. I can never get a room quiet enough. Jajaja

[@23Gears]

I love your more industrial ambient pieces Hanbach - and it has been a while since there were sub beautiful sounds on the channel. Wish I could have been there and am hoping an arranger will book you in Sweden before too long.

[@stryker_9253]

This is absolutely inincredible. Your mind continues to push me to learn more

[@PhillipRaymondGoodman]

This music was like fairground dark ambient, loved it.

[@kango8620]

It was a real pleasure seeing you live. I hope you vistit munich once again soon :)

[@rp8564]

I bet the natural reverb/acoustics of that hall with all the vehicles was amazing!

[@finsteraura-thema2705]

Du bist echt ein Klanggenie. Du hättest in den 70er Jahren genial zu Kraftwerk gepasst

[@AynenMakino]

That moment where you say "You sound pretty fantastic"... print it into a T-shirt with a screencap of that moment and sell it!

[@sambkingmusic]

"This seems proper awesome," you can tell Hainbach's been hanging around the British again.

[@michaelkonomos]

What a thoughtful and creative set of instruments you have chosen. Love it.

[@charlyandco.4488]

Your videos are just so inspiring ! Always new ideas to test and new ways to explore ! Love it !

[@dedicatedspuddler7641]

Fantastic. Really enjoyed the music.

[@john_atco]

Keep up the good work. You are a true innovator in the field of sound and recording.

[@MonoNovaTube]

Always inspiring! thank you Hainbach

[@relaxmarco]

Very interesting approach and entertaining video.

[@FSK1138]

i am getting back into playing live .. you are a massive inspiration . i am returning to my roots ... working with less gear .... focusing on .....the sound

[@pamdemonia]

Many people dream of owning fancy cars, or a nice house, or beautiful clothing, but for many, many years I have dreamed of a little Nagra! I love what you do, but I mainly subscribed to see your little Nagra. Wonderful sound making also. Love the truly ambient nature of it!

[@ringsystemmusic]

Lovely video as always!

[@h2o1969]

The idea of this show, is so interesting. I would have liked to have been there. Really looking forward to logging into Patreon to listen to it.

[@ImmortalIdeas]

Awsome bro!!!

[@wishbonebrewery]

That was rather lovely.

[@temporoboto]

a room well played🙃💙

[@jalen8r]

Really built up a lot of tension with the amusement park shots💀

[@Hainbach]

Yeah I played exactly on the day Oktoberfest opened, so I had to go of course.

[@restauracaof1]

That truck is a Mercedes 1111. We still se a lot of those on the roads here in Brazil.

[@brianspenst1374]

Ethereal as is normal for your more free form ambient pieces. I love finding the beauty inherent in the noises made by mundane objects. I have found that air cylinders from compressors make great bells if you cut off one end.

[@sebastianroncal5364]

Wundervoll!

[@RCAvhstape]

As someone who has spilled a long-stemmed wine glass on his laptop, I can tell you that the shot of your beautiful Nagra being so close to that glass of wine was a bit discomforting. I have a pretty strict "no open liquids near gear" rule. Especially treasured vintage equipment like that tape deck.

[@nostandingonlydancin]

Most people use normal trucks to make music. Hainbach uses Soviet era trucks to make music. Bravo 😊

[@maeskaz1091]

I really love all your tape video's, especially the tape distortion video's you made. Next on the shopping list are some cheap tape recorders and an interface, so I can experiment with tape in VCV Rack. Proper student budget style. Thank you for sharing everything you do! I hope to see you play live soon!

[@pamdemonia]

VCV Rack is so great!

[@bartektrame8801]

very sad i missed the show, this would've been a 20 min walk away from home. hopefully next time!

[@josesmith733]

Hey Hainbach! I know you probably won’t see this.. but I just rewatched your “magnetic card reader” video as I wanted to show it to my girlfriend, and I had an idea to make a looping track that swaps between loops. If you somehow managed to make multiple magnetic cards into a large Möbius strip, it would allow the card reader to flip between the sides of the cards - and thus the different tracks! Just a thought, with great difficulty in actual implementation.

[@recentlyhannah]

These shots at the 6:00 min mark are mesmerising! I would love a movie with you making the soundtrack 😍

[@Hainbach]

There are a few: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioCTeKKhn6qln5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIvKZWdmlKmteJo vimeo.com/242754381 And more coming!

A lot of this reminds me of Wendy Carlos film sountracks.

[@markushalbig3457]

absolutely brilliant!! looking forward to the performance on Friday in Bochum. One question: Did you sequence the recorded sounds somehow or did you play them directly from the tape?

[@Hainbach]

Directly from tape - I had to compose while banging on on thingd

[@markushalbig3457]

@@Hainbach awesome 👏 👌

[@Projacked1]

Is that a fire truck? Loved the video man, very inspiring!

[@Hainbach]

Sand truck in the thumbnail. Used to deliver sand for the breaks of trams.

[@Projacked1]

@@Hainbach Oow-kay didn't expect that, cool! My girlfiend says; Please visit the war museum in Overloon/ The Netherlands! They even have a really small submarine, airplanes, and boats that invaded Normandy. Stuff like that....Peace out!

[@setharnold9764]

That half-speed playback was fantastic. Were there any too-long pauses on the tape or did it work out okay? That electromagnetic recorder is awesome stuff.

[@Hainbach]

I really tried to minimize my pause/record times, as I knew I had to play this as one. So when I recorded a silence I did because I needed it for a transition.

[@RegebroRepairs]

I've been in Munich many times. But always for work, so I have never had time to go to any museums, which is a bit annoying.

[@Hainbach]

They have really good museums there, you need to check out the Siemens Studio and Oscar Sala's setup in the Deutsche Museum.

[@karlpron]

My Chants Magnetiques are great? it's the first time I've heard somebedy saying that :). It must have been great concert, I wish I could be there.

[@ptrkde]

hey, it's Elektrosluch from LOM = Elektro + sluch, which can be translated as electric hearing. Plus, minus :)

[@TheDeadlyKind]

Omg he said I sound great 😊

[@benitoe.4878]

I wish Denis Villeneuve would ditch Hans Zimmer and let Hainbach do the sound track and FXs for the next Dune movie. The live performance was just otherworldly.

[@JSlackArt]

I'm so nervous that wine will spill

[@Hainbach]

Na, it was out of reach and I did not touch at all during the performance.

[@JSlackArt]

@@Hainbach I had a teacher in Middle School who told us a story about a man who had to testify in court and what he did to distract the jury was he took a paper clip straightened it out and put it in a cigar so that the ash would not fall. Almost the same thing with your cup of wine

[@MrSolcys]

Hello Heinbach. I'm wondering if you are familiar with Giorgio Sancristoforo software? For example Berna3- simulation of an early electronic music studio?

[@Hainbach]

Yes I am, used Berna 1 + 2 when they were released. Haven't tried 3 yet.

[@MrSolcys]

@@Hainbach do you like it? His software looks pretty interesting

[@Hainbach]

It is well worth checking out for getting a feel for how these old studios worked alone.

[@joeneoj]

What is that small tape recorderyou are using?

[@Hainbach]

Nagra SN

[@desiluus]

weird request, hainbach, but where did you get that nice neongreen-black pullover?
