How This Guy Makes Amazing DIY Musical Contraptions | Obsessed | WIRED
God bless this man. He seems like he’s a kind and soft hearted man.
He is so creative. So amazing how he can make different notes on these.
Fun Fact: He makes music for every quirky, offbeat french movie
I'm taking your word for it.
Yes it does sound that way doesn't it.
Love the laughing horn! I also noticed by his nails that he is a fingerstyle guitarist, long on one hand and short on the other.
Good eye! Ha ha, you're right.
In the last few years my nails just split and crack. I even tried some salon ones. Guess I'm just drying out in my old age. Haha!
@@Sawlon I cut a small patch of very fine silk cloth, hold it in place with a pin, and apply a drop of the super-thin type superglue. Then file everything smooth, then apply a topcoat of more superglue. It usually stays put long enough for the nail to grow out. You shouldn't keep doing it too much on the same nail; the glue eventually softens the nail and makes it more likely to break. Don't you hate it when people say, why not just use finger picks? Sure, why not wear gloves while you're at it?
Thanks for the info, Len!!!
He had amazing parents. My parents did not encourage me toward my natural talents. I'm curious how many parents push their children towards their own dreams instead of their child's natural talents.
Or he forged forward despite the difficulties.
Daniel Barbosa exactly
@@danielbarbosa3 He says in the video, that his dad has encouraged him to tinker with things since an early age, i think that's what they're referring to
This man is so wholesome, I just love him so much. PLEASE do another show on him! PLEASE! ♥♥
This guy is like a Willy Wonka character
This guy is the experimental music king of 2020
Everyone needs to go to his channel Bellowphone right now
He could score a Wes Anderson movie on the cheap
I can't wait to play Megalovania on these instruments
this is like an episode of arthur except it’s his whole life and it’s beautiful
What a golden soul!
Such a talented and genius man. You can see his dedication and love for music. God bless and continue pursuing your passion.
All of Dr Suess ideas in real life, amazing
This guy is just brilliant.
The world needs more people like Len!
This man is brilliant id love a you tube channel with him making an playing a different instrument each time.
He has one, bellowphone
Awesome. I love you man. Also, several years until you got the pipe buttons done correctly? What amazing resilience to keep on experimenting.
Hey, thanks, man. Yeah, persistence Я us!
Imagine looking at the world in his own perspective.
Len Soloman is so underrated
Bravo, maestro! You are an inspiration to many souls and have fun at the same time.
why would anyone dislike this vid. this guy is creative and amazing
This is such an amazing and underrated video! He is a good guy
This inspires me to get back into a project I've never finished that would be an all wooden fully functional music box with programmable pegs
Wooooow....its so interesting what people can do when they pursue their passions
This man is the epitome of fun. They broke the mould when they made him.
Kudos to Len
Huge fan ! :D Such a great man
That is beautiful.
what a nice man .. I wish to him sweet life
Boy. This guy sure has life figured out.
A wonderfully interesting and inspiring man.
That’s it
I’ll start serious music learning
i love this guy
So anyone introduce him to the marble dude yet
Someone needs to hire him to make a videogame soundtrack
Fantastic
One Love!
Always forward, never ever backward!!

💚💛❤
🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼
Genius
Make something that sound like the weird organ Grumpy plays in Snow White
What a Legend !
Magnificent you are Leonard.
Sullivan and the Majestic Bellophone, live @ Burning Man 2020.
2:47 what song is this
Darude sandstorm
I love you man!!!! Following for years
Thank you!
2:40❤️
Very cool!
I need to sample this guy haha
WOW, cool!
Awesome 🙌👍
I didn’t even know you made a video on him.
This is the man that writes Tom waits’ music.
Sounds like flp or abelton samples
That music style is very Neverhood.
I love this man
dr suess would be proud
We can all appreciate his hobby and the unusual nature of many of the instruments he made. It’s just that many of them aren’t like real instruments but rather advanced noise making machines. It’s just sad that many of them are just “funny” instruments. I am VERY confident that for majority of his income he either does, or tried making standard but very high quality guitars and other instruments that require craft.
Rock on, brother.
i love this guy lol
I saw this video and immediately thought of twoset
No offense but twoset aint got nothing on him
8:10 űeľğh
Ha ha! Yes.
He and Wintergatan should do a collab
I desire his knowledge of doohickeys, thingamabobs, and doodads
And framistats!
Cool guy, but it must be a nightmare to be his neighbor
Solomon has had to move 19 times😆
So YOU were the guy that kept calling in the noise complaints!
@@bellowphone no.... just showed him my shotgun😉
This is a great video but I find it kind of disrespectful to the artist that the title doesn't use his actual name. He's just "this guy"... 🙄
That's just the theme. Check out the playlist for Wired Obsessed
So what, someone else invented the cammodiola!
So no one's gonna ignore how the narrator speaks?
The real question is...
can they play Megalovania.
COME ON WIRED, YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS. "This guy" has a name and it's Len Solomon. "This guy" is utterly dismissive of identity and achievement, as if you're anecdotally mentioning that one time someone surprisingly found themselves being a creator.
"This guy" has better marketing appeal than the name of someone unknown, however important.
Eat yer heart out, Spike Jones!
today's world doesn't appreciate such people
The 84k views rn is a prove of it.
👍
Where's the fruit recorder guy? Pupsi?
It's not weird.
🙂🎵
Another good story! Thank you. I WOULD SUBSCRIBE, BUT Wired is Anti Musk - which is really ironic, egotistical, and Anti-Wired
I should also mention that Wired posted a huge anti-Sanderson piece that was also blatantly elitist, ironic, egotistical, and wrong
I was subscribed to him before the WIRED video. I'm cooler than you are...... or something.....
These sounds are what a clown looks like
Trolls
My girlfriend broke up with me cuz I told her I wanna start a kindergarten in her mouth
...
Hmmm...
i wonder why...
Took 2 seconds to get
@@andromeda4995 I'll help u get it
