[@SPLENDIDZEN]

Please Andrew!...you need to get together with Rob (Scallon) to create a full album with all these gadgets and have Rob bring his gadgets too!!!...

[@BanesRomance]

Hey Andrew 👋 that's a really cool kalimba noise box

[@KiR_3d]

Hi! Did you've tried to use OKHouseCat's Calimba as a reverb to a guitar? Also I really think that this THING deserves to get a big dark ambient jam with it's part in it.

[@MattGreerMusic]

Hey, it's Billy! He's from Nashville btw. He's a friend of mine. Great guy.

[@TheDarkchum1]

Hey Billy! I’ve been making crazy noise for a couple decades and that spring Reverb kalimba makes some of the sickest tones I’ve ever heard. Could you maybe point me in the right direction if I wanted to build something that could generate those kinds of “controlled” feedback tones?

[@DaftyBoi412]

Hi Matt Greer

[@davidscanlan]

please give raise to whoever's doing the closed captions (3:25 "glitchiness settles into a bit of a beat")

[@chandlermiller3944]

seeing andrew on the floor just having a good time with the instrument is so pure. No clean set up just plugging in everything as quick as possible to play with it.

[@DanielRiendeau]

Fax.

[@AndrewPRoberts]

The floor is the biggest desk you can have

[@reset_rt]

Absolutely WILD! My favourite is the pitch bend on the Meowsic ❤❤ So fun being part of this shoot ✨✨

[@wackyjjackie]

“What that tongue do?” Random Modular Pitch Performance ofc

[@CactusMuffin]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@Nick1921945]

Nothing to read into here

[@soygustavobarron]

This is a guy that has all the gear in the world, having a childlike wonder at a wooden box with a microphone. I love it!

[@andrewhuang]

lol yes and I’ve had plenty of wonder at even less 😂

[@OkHousecat]

@@andrewhuang and yet- wonderful!

[@lightbright1113]

OK Housecat is a real splendorific musician. His channel and productions are absolutely pushing the envelope.

[@hoebare]

Scrumtrulescent!

[@Khordmaster]

lol dude the rhythm edit with the box opening 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

[@andrewhuang]

Thank you for appreciating haha

[@chameleonblockstudios]

Man I love it when weird instrument maker KZbinrs I’ve been watching make their way on Andrews channel

[@BlufyreAudio]

Weird Gear returns!

[@Fthmlss]

Miss the moments you find yourself in the most strangest of positions in the corner of a room tapping away on a random surface and getting lost in the sauce 😅 love the combination of a melodic style noisebox! Sounds awesome 😊

[@commodoor6549]

Ok Housecat makes unique products. I bought the circuit bent Speak & Spell. He threw in a mic. Just an incredible human being and artist. Check him and his creations out. Thank you Andrew for making people aware of the cool things Billy is doing.

[@Dirk_Berserk]

7:00 playing the spring could definitely be used for scary movies

[@TheM00ndawg]

i really like seeing highly skilled professional musicians, turn into toddlers pushing buttons, when they get a new toy.

[@evolevil1]

Well that spring reverb escalated quickly. I had flashbacks from the old video with heating pipes. Top stuff!

[@reme7903]

Wow this is a collab i never expected to see but i love it. Listen to his stuff everyday. He's super creative!

[@TSGEnt]

Thank you for making cool music with weird instruments. Liberating for sure.

[@BrandonAaskov]

Whoever is taking the time to do your captions/subtitles: kudos. You're killing it.

[@michaelcherry8952]

I watched this right after reading a Wikedpedia article about the late David Lynch and the first thing I thought of when you were fooling around with the slinky reverb was that it would be perfect for a David Lynch movie!

[@Zelmel]

Whoever does your captions is amazing! Love the descriptions of the sounds/pitches and random noises.

[@Da1AliBi]

How cool. Stuff from OK Housecat is amongst the weirdest (and most desireable) sonicglitchwhateveryoumaycallit....things.

[@up4open763]

Billy's got some patience and some skills. Those feel more like single pieces of art. Logical that an artist like Andrew would get first chance to introduce them.

[@Nikitunzi]

dude now need a song from you and Rob using only these instrumets! you guys are the best when it comes to making a masterpiece out of weird sounding instruments😂😂😂

[@robinhasaconlang]

2:35 "Maybe if I-" *computer has some sort of nervous breakdown*

[@Edward256]

1:58 - It's a mini jarre! XD Yeah, Jean Michel Jarre popularized the Laser Harp.

[@KiddsockTV]

Are you sure Rob Scallon didn't design part of this with the pointy skewers?

[@BeepBoopAudio]

I would LOVE to make a sample instrument with these samples. This is a GOLD MINE!

[@NickScottProducer]

hahahaha the tongue part in the intro literally made me laugh out loud

[@althejazzman]

The B movie editing style was so well matched to the freaky sounds.

[@dampersand]

Reminds me of the good old days smacking my guitar amp with spring reverb to make weird noises.

[@MattGrayYES]

"Oooh fun new toy!" *Accidentally re-scores the Chernobyl Miniseries*

[@Legendary_Honey]

This is what I imagine chromatic aberration sounds like

[@randomcitizenname]

A lot of the same stuff that The Magpie likes to make. Circuit bending everything and making it glitch.

[@march4652]

Re: cable zip return I love and fear the mental image of someone pressing the button to reel in a patch cable and then having to duck for their life because they left a tuner pedal attached and it's now hurtling at them.

[@andrewhuang]

I didn’t think this one through

[@Phripheoniks]

"Eerie feedback fun" is the most ANDREW HUANG youtube chapter to date.

[@juhxofficial]

The horror editing was top tier 😂

[@johnnyterra1309]

yoo editing is 1000aura right now. fun content as allways! thx andrew :=)

[@justinrobinson1162]

Missed opportunity to call it the slinkalimba

[@imlxh7126]

2:15 plogue chipcrusher2 and soniccharge bitspeek both have a way of resynthesizing any audio you put into them in a similar way (with varying degrees of jankiness), and plogue chipspeech actually has a circuit bending mode that makes these exact sounds!

[@docgify]

Have tried plogue bidule? I used to use plogue bidule as my main audio back in the day,some years ago now…..I haven’t thought about bidule for years and years must look it up again,at the time I was doing a lot of limewire which became the darknet …..wow long time…..lol

[@fanrco766]

I've been watching him ever since he posted his circuit bent cat piano. It's inspiring how consistent he is in posting jam sessions.

[@lance.returns]

As soon as I saw that OK Housecat was involved, I knew I was about to watch my next favorite video

[@ervinpoljak8332]

7:00 on…holy ballz! What an inspiring approach❤

[@TheTrueDeadFingers]

5:55 just sent me back in time to OFF's soundtrack.

[@BeamTheChao]

With this instrument, we can now make the sickest industrial Drum and Bass ever heard by mortal organic ears!

[@shanemoss3112]

the pitch bend on the cat keyboard reminded me of chibi robo park patrol, when you're playing music, you control the tempo by drawing circles and the speed is based on how fast you draw so it kind of has a similar wavy imperfection to it lol.

[@_uohaloran]

Great channel crossover. The ground bar for the kalimba tongs is genius.

[@jedigarrett142]

Virtual riot would definitely sample the speak and read thing for dubstep bass wavetables

[@balaenopteramusculus]

Oh, man, could have watched and listen to way more of that weird shizzle coming from the slinky calimba. Please more!

[@no_wrong_notes]

This is so innovative! I love that spring so much.

[@guppybill]

This kind of electronic sound exploration drove my parents nuts. I disassembled, modified, and broke stuff all the time. I stopped because there was no call for this stuff in any kind of marketable music in 1974. I wish I had it all back now.

[@agentmith]

I’m not sure the slinky’s have enough tension to function as a reverb, at least based on what I saw in the video. Any vibrations they might be picking up are dissipating in the slack. It’s like that twin can and string phone, if the string isn’t taut the sound won’t transmit.

[@dnwy6497]

That speak and read sounds absolutely cursed I love it

[@OokisMcFlookis]

Andrew has the best job in the world

[@Demysmekblan]

just seeing a bunch of these, it makes me YEARN for this year's First of October

[@beatsado6529]

If some of these feautred in the 2025 FoO album, we'd be in for some GNARLY music

[@chriscotroneo5514]

man. b & w footage is so boss. loling over here. great stuff!

[@monsterfukk7737]

You could easily score an entire horror movie/game (or a few thousand) with that kalimba.

[@shamardaniel4819]

You know its legit when it comes in a frankenbox!🤘😆🤘

[@jazzanarchy]

Andrew Huang with the best closed captions in the biz - "knife cutting, plastic crinkling to a beat...of course"

[@TheSingularitarian]

BT was doing this circuit bending thirty years ago. Makes for from crazy sound.

[@misterscottintheway]

The okhousecat aesthetic is a VIBE. Very 90s.

[@MightyPinecone]

My friend’s kid had one of those kitty keyboards and one day I played Turn Down for What on it and now I can’t hear that song without hearing the melody in meows.

[@jaizo_827]

but nobody wants to see marshall no more, they want shady, i'm chopped liver?

[@anthonywestbrook2155]

Anyone who hears "talking toaster" and thinks it sounds promising isn't likely a Red Dwarf fan.

[@arynnritter4293]

I thought it sounded promising and I have never heard of red dwarf unless you are talking about space.

[@dickydoes]

@@arynnritter4293 UK Space based Sitcom. Talkie Toaster is an annoying talking toaster. His catchphrase is 'would you like some toast?'

[@jackispax1633]

Lister: We want no muffins, no toast, no teacakes, no buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes and no hot-cross buns and definitely no smegging flapjacks. Toaster: Aah, so you're a waffle man.

[@K0r0n1s]

I love the industrial piece that came out of the feedback 🖤⚒️💜

[@FLH3official]

The classic Heinbach syndrom! Gives usualy interesting results 😁

[@lienmeat]

Freakin haunting sounds coming out of that kalimba! Thing is incredible!

[@docgify]

Love the “talking toaster “instrument

[@StealthMoustache]

Kalimba pedal was insanely cool

[@Methulu_Syllasluth]

Gosh, that's a really cool instrument. So much things you can do with it.

[@BreakdownBoxes]

This makes me really want to see a video of Andrew playing with a Blipblox synth.

[@PeteGunnShow]

i dont know if you inserted your own CC into this, but i love the fact that the first thing it says is "(strange swirly percussion)" in the closed captions

[@PichettoFratame]

Hope you’ll keep growing and the message will spread

[@lemonberries]

That Speak and Read was badass!

[@hot_dog.666]

You should try bowing the kalimba tines! I think that with the crazy spring reverb + feedback would give some great horror movie soundtrack vibes.

[@andrewhuang]

Oh it’s big brain time now!

[@MichaMachine-Synths]

The Toaster 😮 love that Noise 🎛️🌀👾👾👾

[@keithfulkerson]

That reverb box sounds badass.

[@soregplays]

Can't wait for all of this on Sonic Boom.

[@althealligator1467]

Gotta start using this stuff for First of October

[@Simeon_Harris]

whoa that whole black and white section felt like a david lynch movie

[@lowrdnb]

oh my days i need one of these

[@stevenbrady1143]

8:42 I thought Vecna was behind me

[@baltimoreluke]

the speak and spell bend is impressive. any time i've open one up, it's all black blob

[@OkHousecat]

You gotta get the old 80's version, the new ones are all blobs

[@MathieuGariepy-f3o]

The smallest diameter spring looks more like a normal reverb tank spring, use in surf music and such.

[@mchelvantx]

Listening to a Bach arrangement while watching this and there is no conflict

[@NEKRWSPHERE]

Careful Andrew, it could be that toaster that can only be referred to in the first person...

[@isicle]

the Home Depot product placement

[@T3ZRADIO]

Bizzare and AWESOME!

[@YoutubeparisnewsBlogspotFr]

6:34 for S.F or Horror Movies, it's great....

[@breannathompson9094]

This is not a joke. Some of these instruments are genius for places that work with kids/adults/elderly with processing issues that enjoy sound or funky music and the knobs, buttons, colors, and all the cool stuff. Maybe you could invite a music therapist of some sort to come rate them on a scale of 1-10 for edutainment? edit: also 7:15 chaosphere by meshuggah vibes lol

[@UkiMalefu]

Giant boxes of fun stuff are the best kind of boxes.

[@reidrundles2159]

Thnkz for illuminating spring reverb

[@22Facesmusica]

0:05 I watched the video hours ago and I'm still laughing lol

[@andrewhuang]

It’s the simple things 😛

[@THEAMYGDALA]

This is what you find in javas’ scavenging inventory

One Love! Always forward, never ever backward!! ☀☀☀ 💚💛❤ 🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼

[@pjforde1978]

Congratulations on your new Hainbach video.

[@dhpstudios2009]

Where did I look at 😂. I feel that I can make a million sounds of this,Andrew !!!! Look behind you, your wall is covered with one big synth, a dream for everybody

[@jcpro3182]

3:20 “stop it”

[@Asyraftsm]

That will be some original horror track
