Hi guys, just found an article about swedish band Wintergatan, who built this incredible machine:

Making of:

I wonder how the bass is played though, and the drums appear to be samples ?

Edit: the drum sounds are actually recorded (and processed)

this is fu***ng amazing
animusic did kind of music machines in their animated movie ,but this is ....real
well done

 

Thanks for mentioning Animusic. I love all of their clips.

Apologies for the dupe post, guys. Somebody already posted the Animusic "Pipedream" clip here but, idiot that I am, I forgot to bookmark it. Below the vfx clip, you'll see the real world Atom-powered machine that was built in 90 days to mimic the one in the animation...

The idea of making a xylophone - marimba etc style instrument goes way back as the cymbals are.But as far as i know, there is another similar instrument in Iceland, made by rocks.

...very cool!

Looks like he better be careful not to to lose a finger or two in there

 

Proof that you can make music with virtually anything, & that you don't need *that* synth or plugin in order to create top quality music. You're gonna be fine, my friends. STFU & forget about Nexus2 or Steinberg or whatever it is you want so badly.

 

Thanks! That is as amazing as amusing. A Soundiron or SonicCouture Kontakt library in a couple years? The operator has to wear hearing protection, or are those headphones?

It reminded me of instruments by Patrice Moullet:

Found this yesterday:
