I've been needing something new and refreshing to listen to now that music these days is boring as hell. The style and execution are absolutely innovative, creative and quirky. I just love it. I'm obsessed and in need of more tunes of this band.
I wish there would be some kind of tutorial on how do build this, I only found the project page with a loose description but I have still no idea how, it's so amazing 😁
Without reading anything, my guess is that there's a device (probably an arduino or something) that generates the lines on the crt. The spacing of the lines (aka the frequency of the video signal) are controlled by the 'strings' which are probably touch potentiometers. The thing he brings close to the screen is either a coil picking up the electromagnetic noise created by the crt or (less likely) a light sensor which creates the sound. Something along those lines.
@@UmVtCg if you open up the crt, definitely but that's not necessary. What I described will at most burn in the crt screen or destroy your arduino. It's all low voltage and low amperage stuff so safe enough. To avoid any confusion and unnecessary danger, here's a proper disclaimer. WARNING: DO NOT OPEN UP A CRT DISPLAY WITHOUT BEING ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. THERE'S DEADLY VOLTAGE LEVELS IN THERE.
@@TaylorTheOtter even if crts are unplugged for a long time the capacitors and cathode ray tubes still hold a dangerous amount of charge. Even if left unplugged for years. So don't mess with them until you properly discharge them.
I really hope y'all get to compose some music for Splatoon 3, since it's set in a post-apocalyptic world. I could totally see a band use these instruments for music in the Splatoon universe.
For anyone else who wants to try to build one of these, here is what I have found so far. If anyone has any more info please paste it below. Here is a website that has a description, albeit vague: eiwada.com/telelele/ The "coil-pick" I assume is a sort of guitar coil pickup that he is holding in his right hand that goes straight to the guitar amp to produce the sound. In another video you can see him put the pick in his mouth, hold someone's hand, and have them touch the screen, and it makes sound. This means the signal has to be able to travel through a conductor. It is picking up these electromagnetic waves from the screen, where more lines on the screen seems to have a higher pitch. He changes the images on the screen with the ukulele style fretboard, but I honestly have no idea how that works. Some people say there are buttons, which there are at the bottom, you can see him use those to make drum sounds, but the fretboard itself has strings. In another video on this channel you can see a version of this instrument that has buttons all up the fretboard instead of strings. It is also worth pointing out that on this one there are no actual frets, so I assume there is a constant video signal of some sort that is altered based on where you are pressing down. Where this confuses me is how the device treats open strings. If there is constant video signal then open strings would always ring out the same. The other possibility is that there is some electrical signal traveling through the strings, and that signal is passed on to the TV through the fretboard when a string makes contact. If anyone has any idea how the frets would work with actual strings instead of buttons, please let me know. I'd love to build one of these. If I come across anything else that might be helpful I will add it as a reply to this comment. Ultimately this guy is an artist, and the SRTelecaster is his art. I doubt he will ever sell them out explain how he made it.
just want to point out, I was in an online lecture with this guy recently and he's super into telling people how to build these things. Part of the art for him is sharing it
@@stahllandon hey man, so if you head to their website they post most of the updates there, you will see the recent post about that last lecture, they recorded it but not sure when they’ll post anything up about it. Most my recourses now are just notes ive taken. In the middle of building my own now. You’re right about the coil pickup and the fretboard is made of Ribbon potentiometers, that feed into an arduino (or something similar) and then outputted as sound signal, the sound signal is then put into the video input of the CRT, it isn’t as complicated as if first seems, the CRT I bought recently I have tried out and a simple C note being played through the video input will output to a guitar amp as a C note through a jack cable just hovering near the screen. Still working out the coding and stuff to the arduino and all that bit as the lecture didn’t dive too deep, also I heard they might have something coming up about a resource you could buy that shows how each instrument they make is built.
You could always salvage the parts for some high voltage circuits or just use it as a monitor, since most PC CRT's actually have pretty good image quality. TV sets are a bit different but they're still the king for retro gaming.

How does this work? Are the strips just a visualization of the sound or, the thing that he puts near the screen reads the stripes to generate sound?
The screen emitts electromagnetic waves and then this waves are picked by a coil. While the pitch can be changed by changing image signal.

@Buddha UwU but how can the neck “interact” or connected to what hes doing on the screen? there are no strings, where does the sound come from?
