It's like music for a jungle level in a video game, incredible
maybe Rayman Legends!
Haha true.
Me: "That sounds awful!" Adds more instruments. "Hey, that's better." Adds more instruments. "Hey, this is sounding pretty cool." Adds even more instruments. "Yeah! This is very cool!" You're like a chef, adding different ingredients until you've made something delicious!
Thanks for the video!
Thanks! That's how I try to make music!
@@NicolasBras that's how you succeed making music 🤟
How does the mouth violin even work?
I thought you were saying that he was covering up the bad sound, hah.

Not sure if my favorite is the Mouth Violin or the Tire Pump Flute-Trombone... this is amazing
Thanks!
I love the mouth violin. It's like an all-acoustic "talk box", and sort of like a didj that can play more than one root note.
And this is how the BGM for native tribes in civilization games is made.
I could feel my horizon expanding measurably.
I don't know that I have ever heard music that was so out of the ordinary but sounded so good! It's quite different from the typical "Look what a strange instrument I have, hurr durr!"
Thanks!
It sounds like a piece of music in a film ,
Like when someone has to travel and it highlights the best memories of the trip with music over it.
Good stuff
Thanks!
That is a really excellent description! A jungle adventure montage (of good or bad experiences) would definitely use this music!
I was thinking it sounds like part of a James Bond sound track.
the mouth violin is like how when you're brushing your teeth with an electric tooth brush and opening and closing your mouth, it makes differe vowel noises like this. same idea. it's almost like vowels are a lowpass filter.
Very good analogy there, and your conclusion is almost spot on, but instead of a lowpass filter, it's rather the other way around: the shape of your mouth causes different overtones on top of the root frequency to stand out, so it's actually a bandpass filter on high frequencies that works by only resonating with more or less one specific overtone.
There are several different instruments that rely heavily on overtones, including but not limited to the k'ni, the mouth fiddle, a variation of which we see in the video, the didgeridoo, the jaw harp, and several different Mongolian/Tuvan singing techniques.
As another interesting piece of side info: overtones are actually the only thing that makes us capable of articulating different vowels in the first place. For instance, when you form all of the vowels one after the other with your mouth while you have a tuner nearby, you will notice that you are keeping the same pitch during all of them. Since your mouth and throat are both open all the time, the only way it's possible you are able to create a different sound must be the overtones changing with the shape of your mouth, tongue, and throat
@@Asatruction thanks for the info. I learned a few things.
definitely bandpass. google wah pedal frequency range.
It's amazing, I don't know if it was on purpose but you ended up with a groove containing several prominent percution and rythm characteristics of Cumbia from the Colombian Pacific. Even the orqueststion of some of the higher register flutes is similar to the traditional instruments it is played with. Great groove to get lost in dance with.
It wasn't on purpose, but it is a music I love!
6:07 Next time on Wild Planet we'll see how the Bantu tribe deals with an invading pride of lions, then we'll check in on lemur family, and finally news on the developing chimp-bonobo wars
Started as a nightmare, i wonder if u could be part of DOOM soundtrack, then u ended up with a creative track that is pure genius. Respect and thumbs up!
Thanks!
I am quite honestly blown away by the amazing and creative and unique sounding instruments which are also hand made! Absolutely astounded!
Plus the musical talent this guy has!
Thanks a lot!
How very cool to watch you making something beautiful with all these different & unique instruments.
You would be the coolest music teacher ever existed!
This is my original job!
Your earthing solution is absolutely gangster. I so love that
Can't believe how clean the sawblades turned out sounding in the final mix
"Et toi t'écoutes quoi comme musique ?"
moi : "C'est compliqué"
Imagine alors, "et toi tu fais quoi comme musique?"
Was I the only one making wah-wah shapes with my mouth while watching this?
As an electrical engineer, the simple and elegant solution to eliminate noise would have surely eluded me.. Love watching your videos!!
Great solution to the electrical noise, I only just found your channel and I can’t stop watching.
Thanks!
i didn’t think that was going to work.
i was wrong.
This is awesome. The end result gave me nothing but Crash Bandicoot vibes.
Loving your channel, keep it up!
This dude is a genius, all the stuff he makes are amazing
Thanks a lot!
You melted my face dude!
Wow, you are amazing! - I learn something every time I watch. - I'm a working musician but my real job is making sweet bamboo flutes and ocarinas and selling them at the Renaissance Festival here in Texas for about 25 years now. You are an inspiration! Love your videos!
I’m just blown away by all of the instruments! All of a sudden I have a huge urge to make all of these
God that flute!! I’m in love with everything in this video
Thanks a lot!
I love the distortion part!
I knew I wasn't crazy for thinking I could play "Old McDonald Had A Farm" with my mouth when I brushed my teeth!
Großartig! Phantasievoll und inspirierend! Danke!
The final mix is so cool!!! I love it
Amazing!! I feel I can keep watching this on a loop.
Now, you're just having way too much fun! Love it!
Simply incredible. Keep having fun!
I will!
should have titled it the “sawnza”
Sawzaphone
This is great composing with your creative found material instruments. Thanks !
Brilliant from start to finish! Thanks mate, I really enjoyed that.
"Quack quack quack quack..."
So great!! I would love to see how more of your instruments are made and how they're played! Very awesome and inspirational to others in making their own music. Expensive equipment is nice, but it's proof that you don't need it to make interesting and amazing music!
Thanks!
I always wondered how sawtooth oscillators where made, thank you !
wonderfully! no words to say more!
I love your acoustic creativity. While many sound experimenters I know tend to specialize in wind or string or percussion your ability to do all of these things without limit is inspiring.
Thanks a lot! I still use your nu mouthpiece on some recording sessions!
@@NicolasBras Glad to hear it! Unfortunately I couldn't sell enough of them to stay in business and I have moved on, but I love it when I hear that people are still playing them!
i really love your videos and your creativity!
Sir one word for you. " Genius "
Thanks!
Nice work man!!
This is fantastic. The making of, the editing and the piece itself. Fantastic.
Thanks!
This is fantastic
Brilliant fanatical musical genius! Anyone who likes innovation and inventions will appreciate this guy.
Thanks!
Very Awesome! The dan kni got me hooked!
Simply amazing!!
Bravo! Very cool and whimsical!
Thanks!
Wow, that is fun!! I really need to get back in the shop and make some stuff like this!! 😍
You are an incredible human being!! I'm astounded by your creativity!
Thanks!
I love the keyboard just sort of crammed in the corner.
Another awesome video!
Great piece
This so awesome !
The mouth violin sounds like a guitar with wah wah pedal played with a bow, what strangely conected Vietnam with Led Zeppelin! Amazing video!
Thanks!
Ça partait pour un joyeux bordel, ça m'a gardé captivé... J'ai pas regretté ! Du génie !! (Pour pas changer)
Grand merci!
Great tune, fabulous home made instruments 😎
Thanks!
I am amazed at your instruments and your talent!
Thanks!
That's pretty fascinating, particularly that you are doing so much with it. I make Quena and zampona from PVC. Sold a few of these instruments when I was younger but have only ever played these as an armature. Kudos to you.
Thanks a lot!
Frigging awesome! I would love to see that piece with some kind of animation. Wow.
Sounds great
If you aren't already doing soundtrack music professionally, it's definitely something you need to do. Your music has such a distinct character that it could easily make a game or movie stand out thanks to your music.
I do, this is one of my jobs!
Also, yes, I would love to see how to build that soprano flute you were playing the solo on
you will find it in my ebook about PVC pipes instruments!
@@NicolasBras oh? Well in that case I might need to get that. Thanks!
Amazing the wonderful music one can make with unusual handmade items. Awesome!
Thanks!
Love your bike pump flute
A lot of fun to play!
Tremendo! Me encantó!
Trop bon, bravo
Fantastic clip Nicolas!
Thanks a lot Linsey!
Wow! I can't find words for it! You need spotify or youtube music, I want to lissen to all your music in the car!!
4:17 my favorite one !
2:37 2nd place
3:06 for the 3rd
Thx for this nice musicals instrument !
amazingly wondrous
That violin is so cool! I would probably drool all over myself trying to play something like that, but the way the sound changes when you change your mouth shape is wild.
Not so hard to play, I need to work on some improvements on this instrument, probably a tutorial soon!
Love this!!
You are open heart man, sharing all. Classic personally. Jay ho
That looks like fun.
Ha! That was great Nicolas!! Great set of instruments and skill you have there!
Thanks!
You proved that muic can be owned by common man. You literally blown out the whole music industry.
Hats off brother..!!👍
Tremendo tema!
Tes vidéos sont incroyable, je te suis depuis un moment et franchement, c'est un plaisir de les regarder (et surtout de les écouter haha)
Grand merci !
this is amazing. the new era mozart. I am so happy to find you man. You made my night with your creativity, advance music knowledge and DIY solutions. For years, I was looking for to seperate me from work or daily problems. I deeply love music and DIY. What you give me a light.. If you have any online courses for beginners like me, I would like to know.
Hey Nicolas ! Tes vidéos sont super agréables à regarder ! Go ahead and thanks for sharing :)
Thanks!!
I love it, its amazing! Thank you Nicolas! :)
Thanks!
Incrível! Adorei.
This is really good.
the slap will be dangerous for the teeth
This is amazing!
Thanks!
~ C’est très concluant. Super !
i love it !!
I learned something from this!!!
monstrueux !
Amazing !
I really enjoy your creativity, its inspirational keep up the good work 🎼
Thanks a lot!
Your video is amazing. I enjoyed each and every second of it. And the music which you have created is really sounds great, like played by some professional orchestra.
Wonderful piece of work man.👍👍👍
Thanks a lot!
Je te suis depuis un moment et à chaque fois que je regardais une de tes vidéo je me disais pourvu que ta chaîne TH-cam monte car vraiment tu le mérites! Depuis quelques temps tes vidéos s'améliorent nettement et je vois que tu approches des 17000 abonnés! Bravo à toi et continue sur ta lancée, ce que tu fais est très très très COOL! :D
Grand merci! Oui je bosse pas mal là-dessus en ce moment, j'ai encore beaucoup d'essais de concepts à faire, beaucoup d'idées à expérimenter!
Franchement, très très très COOL reste un euphémisme. Ca ressemble assez à ce que fait Lindsey polak, mais avec une qualité de montage largement supérieur. Keep it going my man! We need you to create a new musical school, and you're already doing it.
@@ctorduredeperenoel8403 thanks a lot !
Incredible
This hits SO HARD! OMG!
thanks!
very groovy!
ce "ting ting ting ting" au fond là.... ce bruit de lame de scie désérrée... j'en veux plus !!!
Tellement mieux quand ça grésille
@@NicolasBras Plus serieusement, ce que tu fais est génial !
Je suis moi meme passionné par la conception d'instruments de musique avec les moyens du bord (ma plus grande fierté restant sans hésiter ma guitare-chiotte xb) et la musique en général, je reste un peu limité car je suis au lycée mais c'est sans doute une passion qui me suivra tant que je deviens pas sourd. Continues a vendre du rêve avec tes harpes au confit de canard et tes flutes en pvc, c'est trop bien !
Si jamais tu veux bien, je serai ravi de prendre contact (sur discord ou niporte quel réseau j'en sais rien) pour partager quelques créations entre musiciens-bricoleurs.
La bise.
