This thing feels like it would be used in a score to signal otherworldly mystery. The sound it makes is strange, ethereal. It'd be perfect for space things or something from Cyan Interactive.
remarkably clear and not at all what I was expecting Glass to sound like. used in this way. the tone is haunting. It would have been interesting to hear a more complex piece than what was played.
Sound is everywhere consistently playing music. We just have to know how to listen. Recently there was a person who made a musical instrument from a spider web to show how spiders actually hear the web and what it would sound like when it was brought into human hearing. Because the thread is so small we can't hear it. It was fascinating to watch and listen to. Someone else made a guitar string out of spider web as well. Although that wasn't as Plesant because he basically tortured a bunch of spiders to get their thread.
Very cool! Just curious if your mounting system was inspired by the Tonflot marimba. It looks like weather strip with bungee cord stretched on top and maybe a little "booger" glue on each key. If so, I'm incredibly proud and honored. If not, great minds think alike :) Excellent work!
Awesome! My brain was getting confused, however, because I think the video footage beginning at 1:19 seems to be just enough out-of-sync with the audio that it gives the impression that the lower notes are on the right and the higher notes are on the left.
You can get a tongue drum such as Rav Vast and play it with mallets or even with bare hands. It's awesome and made me very happy during the lockdowns! Check G Pygmy and B Kurd scales, they're most popular and fit a large variety of music.
Beautiful! Subscribed! Will look for more works by Mr. Roark on his wonderful instrument. And looking forward to all the exciting looking videos at Redshift. But I admit I was also fascinated by the other wonderful glass in the room -- that incredible leaded glass window behind the players. Can you give us any info on where this was filmed so I can hopefully research how to see that wonderful window?
...well, I started jazz-whistling a meander to your song here soon after you started playin'...us tuned in, stayed there, playin' away...big pleasure...yp...thank you and band for that impact, be well, all!...
31 pitches per octave is certainly a lot more normal-sounding than 15 such as used in the Mizarian Porcupine Overture. Still distinct, but a lot less 'greah what is going on here?'
I wonder what if one attached a mallet to each finnger, wouldn't that make it possible to play all these glockenspiel-like instruments ten-fingered, like the piano?
Pour le calcul d'une note, utilisez la formule : X = 2 ^ ( n / 31 ) n est le degré de la note entre 1 et 31 X est le rapport de fréquence entre la fondamentale et la note recherchée Je ne sais pas s'il y a des correspondances avec les notes naturelles, multiple d'un son fondamental ? Notamment pour les multiples 5, 7, 11, etc, qui n'ont pas de correspondance convainquante par rapport au système à tempérament égal de 12 sons ?
The Instrument is amazing. But why give it a bazillion notes to just play on like ten of them? That feels like a waste of time and space. I hope there will be more complex compositions following that show more of the obvious potential of this amazing artwork of an instrument.
Guitar is great for microtones, as you can move the frets around. An entire microtonal piano would be an ordeal to make. If you want a microtonal keyboard instrument you'll probably need to make it yourself.
There is a piano developed to play in quarter tones ( specially for middle eastern music)with an adjustable keyboard system. Don’t remember the name though
@@nab626 The term 'quarter tones' confuses the issue - unless you really mean 12-tone equal temperament semitones equally cut in half - which gets you nowhere much. Middle eastern music doesn't use such intervals because it doesn't use 12-tone equal temperament to start with. There are many scales using microtones that produce much more listenable music than 12-tet 'quarter tones'. The tones in the tuning used here are roughly third tones - but only roughly - and there are 31 equal divisions to the octave (hence the name 31-tet) The resulting scale, as well as producing usable harmonic microtones, also produces semi-tones and whole tones that are acoustically, harmonically more accurate than those on a piano tuned to 12-tone equal temperament. Anyone interested in hearing a piano tuned to Just Intonation (not 31-tet but more accurate than 12-tet as long as you don't play in harmonically distant keys) should check out the music of Michael Harrison.
Great tones! I’d call it a Crystralumapercussatonaphone, but only when it wasn’t looking.
My tongue broke.
😂
I'd like to hear a cover of Swordfishtrombones on a Crystralumapercussatonaphone.

I hopes you donts haftas Waits until too many Tom Arrows have been stuck upon ze Moons.
Somehow I have the feeling that this majestic instrument has a plethora of fascinating possibilities beyond a few chord repetitions.
th-cam.com/video/7Z6upBD6gKQ/w-d-xo.html
Certainly _no less_ than a plethora, I would have to agree.
Homage to Phillip Glass
@@MendTheWorldI concur, a plethora at minimum. We may even be talking about a cornucopia.
You'd have to ask Eric Whitacre and Vaclav Nelhybel lmao
This thing feels like it would be used in a score to signal otherworldly mystery. The sound it makes is strange, ethereal. It'd be perfect for space things or something from Cyan Interactive.
i was just thinking, this sounds straight out of riven!
What a unique and haunting instrument! The world needs more of this! I hope it was preserved somewhere so that it can be played again!!
It’s very Philip Glass( no pun intended) but I love the sounds.
People who say "no pun intended" are cowards. Intend your puns, weaklings.
@@HokoraYinphine You have to say "no pun intended" or your audience will miss your witty humor.
in all seriousness, I completely agree.
Phil would love this.
Be a man. Own your puns!
I get more of a Steve Reich vibe
Glad to see the spirit of Harry Partch live on. Thanks to you Ol' Harry is still ridin' the rails!
The sound of slowly but surely descending into madness, of when you're starting to question what's real and what's not
ayo why's this description so on point, exact vibes I've been getting too
Real? What does that even mean?!
omg coming from 43 this really bends your ears in strange ways
Coming from 43... equal divisions of the octave? How so? They both behave rather similarly when playing meantone-inspired music
Maybe they meant their age?
How are 43 and 31 EDO both meantone? can you suggest some further reading for a noob?
Eamon Bohan yeah he ment his age.
After they put that thing together, they got super high and had lots of fun.
This was fascinating... definitely stretched the auditory limits... pretty in a scary way!
Gen Z, the generation afraid of everything
@@ThomasistheTwin this is immediately one of the dumbest comments i've ever read

Elegant design and sound so sublime! If only a new building could look and sound like this... Imagine that!
That’s a beautiful instrument ,and the sound wooow
I'm not really a big microtonal person myself, but I like this.
I think TH-cam recommended this to me because of all the Baldur’s Gate 3 stuff I’ve been watching. I’m not complaining though.
Headbending. Just lovely.
For a marimba it sounds so hollow and I love it.
This is lovely.I would also buy the Glass on glass album. 😉
This is beautiful, now one made out of ice please :-)
Thanks so much for sharing this, and best wishes for your future success ✌️
Good job on making that instrument! They all sounds exactly the same!
Looks like another instrument Joe Porter needs to add to his collection. He’s a got an aquarion and a crystallophone.
Glad to hear 1 minute of how it sounds
Man, some of those intervals and chords feel incredibly itchy.
SO BEAUTIFUL!
Oh you guys are reading music! 😊
Beautiful instrument, expertly played, but the piece sounds like watching a test pattern on old broadcast TV.
Beautiful stuff
A very beautiful and well sounding instrument indeed!
This is so pretty
This reminds me a lot of some of the pieces in the Land of the Lustrous soundtrack
This is interesting, but I don't think the music played really showed off its microtonal possibilities very well.
This is beautiful
That was so beautiful, thank you!
Seriously, amazing piece
A remake of the Forest Temple theme from Zelda OOT would be awesome on this!
It's literal Phillip Glass

Well, I know what I'm asking Santa for this year.
I’m guessing he’s now broke

One crack and it's over
Could be used for a ringtone I feel.
Gorgeous sound and look 👍
Super awesome, but please, GET JAZZY, GET FUNKY !!!!!!!!!!!
Cool. It's like Harry Partch meets Terry Riley.
Is this the full piece? Is a longer recording available anywhere? So soothing! Poor Minotaur.
0:06 Windows 10 Timer-Sound. Pizza is ready
That's hypnotic
This is awesome!
Cool! 👏👏👏
Nice! Let's turn some jazz musicians loose on it.

Fascinating instrument, the composition, not so much.
This is cool
Is it an old Arts umbrella building at Grenville Island, Vancouver, BC (currently Ballet BC)?
in the thumbnai lt his looked to me like a miniature olympic swimming pool.
Very soothing sound ❤️❤️❤️
Where do they grow those giant olives for the end of the sticks?
Spain.
@@DrRiq lol
I am inclined to listen to this with headphones. But, that is just me...
So lovely
exquisite 😭
Awesome! My brain was getting confused, however, because I think the video footage beginning at 1:19 seems to be just enough out-of-sync with the audio that it gives the impression that the lower notes are on the right and the higher notes are on the left.
woahhh eeriiee . like a ufo vist in the night forest
So play it!
If only I could play this! I have t played any mallet instrument in so long because of Corona

This is better than the warbling chorus crescendo from 2001: a Space Odyssey.
I love it really😊
The look of this, as well as the project name, make me think of Stargate Atlantis...

Amazing tone, or is it just psychological, the suggestion of glass?

It would be interesting to hear someone play music on it.
You should make one for Philip Glass
31 pitches per octave is certainly a lot more normal-sounding than 15 such as used in the Mizarian Porcupine Overture. Still distinct, but a lot less 'greah what is going on here?'
After watching this video, I wonder what music would sound like in this instrument.
I'm picking up what the algorithm is laying down
Totally amazing! 🎉
Same Instrument at heart, different Principals at play.
Sounds like something I'd hear in Warframe
This is mesmerizing to the point of making me drift off to dreamland lol. Are there any other works written for it with a bit more grit and flare?
Can you play us some tunes on this amazing looking, and sounding instrument, please? Something that we can hum along to?
Godly sounding af
The tonality does *insane* things to my brain...is it simply a result of living in a western modal world, or a function of the notes themselves?
Time to dust off my microtonal glass marimba
That instrument is crying for some Zelda covers to be played on it.
For anyone w Android, there's an Application where you can make well tempered scales from 2 to 51 notes per octave.
Steve Reich would love this.
I wonder what if one attached a mallet to each finnger, wouldn't that make it possible to play all these glockenspiel-like instruments ten-fingered, like the piano?
I'd be curious of watching a sheet for this instrument.
I wonder if the sheet music uses an A-G scale with microtonal accidentals/key signature.
adam neely approves
Attention au triple forte ! Je serai à leur place, je mettrai des lunettes de protection !
🤓 ... 😂😂
Oh Jesus this is fantastic
Beautiful ! ... but let's see what the 'Blue Man Group' can do with this.
Ed Marimba is a Tripp
How about a duet with a glass harmonica ?
Pretty neat, can you do great balls of fire?

Idaho deathcore. Basically this, but with guitars, bass, drums, and vocals. Happy New Year from Vekoma and Friends. 🍲
i need to hear this now based on mostly the name
