I think this is my favorite episode yet. Real instruments on the spot are organic and push a library from zero to hero imo. For the record, I got excited also, I know that feeling when it starts to work and you haven't heard it before. It's like a sonic baby is born and you are the father.
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch! So much enthusiasm, joy, fun & excitement! It's a good reminder that music is all about having fun and being excited by what we are creating.
I stopped the video halfway, took my stepdaughter's violin bow and started playing around with two of my acoustics; one nylon and one steel. I think I can make a fair approximation of a Nyckelharpa. Ok, obviously not the real thing but a blind man on a galloping horse wouldn't notice. Inspirational video as usual, Guy.
I love the enthusiasm and excitement throughout, especially at the end. I have a soft spot for twangy sounds and this is a really great sound you've created!
Going to make some new additions to my Sounds from the Kitchen library, with recordings of a kitchen chair and a crystal glass I did whilst visiting my mum in Italy over Christmas, recently
Turned out SUPER-DUPER Guy .... my mom used to say that also ..... Now I have a new reason to justify collecting instruments that I dont know how to play .... i always thought they could still be used some how .... thanks for the final piece of that puzzle
Hi, this is Paul Thompson from Spitfire audio. Today I'm very excited to bring you a walkthrough of a weird droney thing played with a cheap violin bow.

This will be 50% off for one day only, at $399, and the pro version with an additional 40 mic positions will be $799!
Love your sense of humor. Just like throwing two Norwegians into a box, add glad English humor, touch of irony and showmanship. Out comes you. There is something called hardingfele (double string fiddle), try this also. You will be filled with real artic sensations. Thanks!
Inspiring and still liable to leave me in stitches. And to think I came across this channel after seeing an old clip of a chap on tv in the 90s and wondering what happened to him. Brilliant stuff, thanks again.
Really inspiring and your energy and enthusiasm are contagious! I stumbled upon your channel a couple of days ago and I'm really glad I did. Thank you and keep up the great work!
That was a really fun and inspiring video. It's great to see and hear someone get excited about an experiment that comes out better than they expected. Thanks for posting!
This is amazing!!!! If you experiment with the position on the string - you can have more "deep" ambient sounds, or more like cello. That depends how far from the bridge you are playing, closer to the bridge - articulated cello, far away - drone ambient. (Probably you know that already.) And the result is so great! Soon we will not have film directors that say what music they want, but composers will make counds and hire film directors! =))) It's very story-telling music!
Wow! Basically - if you don't like a sample library in your VST (same as sound of build in keyboard/synth sounds), even can't play the instrument you like (since it does not exist, but it has really it's vibe of ancient sounding instrument if it ever existed), it does not stop from creating the masterpiece of it, just having appropriate instrument and appropriate equipment to record it. We don't need to play the bowed instrument like a PRO in order to compose and record expression of our musical thoughts. All we need is VST to sample, arrange and transpose the pitch of the sound and being familiar with the piano and music theory behind it in order to play it and make our sounds really run our composition on full juice
I recently loaded some EKG files from my Apple Watch into Iris. Had examples of healthy, afib and an all out heart attack. Great collection of sounds! And I ended up feeling like I’d put the horrible experience behind me
Guy I would love to hear you discuss DAWs I've recently purchased Cubase 10.5 Professional but I am currently not home which is where I had them mail the elicenser I'm pretty excited about it. I currently have Studio One 4.5 Professional so I'll be going back and forth between the two.
@@ThinkSpaceEducation Thank you, love the videos very educational, gives some great ideas for music creation, like sampling an old tin can with a stick to create new drum sounds... lol 🥁🙏
Happy New Year, Guy! Loved that Kora recording processed in Iris 2. Even before you asked your colleagues to listen to it, I was picturing something like the series Fortitude, or Fargo. Definitely brooding, with a hint of menace! 😁
I thought you were in the garden shed then a door opens and it's the Tardis with two ''boys'' inside? Awesome sounding sample with bizarre but brilliantly eccentric video.
That really turned out to sound really incredible, Guy! So inspiring! I heard some 1/16 ostinato potential in there ;) If you get the opportunity, would you be able to circle back to this topic and discuss your input presets? Do record the sounds in at 48k? 96k? 128k? (Is that even a thing?) How do you determine the correct audio settings to get the best results? Thanks again for all you do! You're awesome! :D
That would fit to the Witcher game series, The Vikings, and all of the AAA fantasy themed projects. Jesus i got chicken skin all over my forearms. This should be named as how to make masterpiece in 5 mins. I was very impressed of the software knowledge as well. Kudos, Good Sir!
hey Guy,long time no see/hear,aha,a new addition to your instruments,how do they realy play that instrument?,what does it sound like when its played normally,like a normal harp or more like a mandolin?,why not sample the notes and make a kontakt instrument of it,that way you can play this instrument as a keyboard,just a tought :-)
Hi sir, just wanna say I like your videos...always something to learn :) I also record my own songs and I just wanted to ask: if I want to record in midi...do I have to have a Midi keyboard or can I use my Tyros 4 for it as well? And is there a symphonic library that contains all the basic instruments for a good price? For the moment I'm in search for a orchest library that contains most of the instruments like strings, woodwinds, choirs and such. I mean there is so many choices that I realy don't know anymore what to buy. Thx in advance! Keep up the good work!
You dont have to use a keybaord. Lots of people enter every note with a mouse or a guitar synth. Ill do a review of a full orchestral library for less than $250 soon
@@ThinkSpaceEducation so from what I understand is that it is not nessecary to have a midi keyboard to record midi? And great I'm looking forward to it! :) best regards!
Awesome video! Super inspiring! Am I the only one who thought "Sand dunes / Assassin's creed: Origins / Ancient Egypt / Middle East vibe" instead of snow of glaciers? For me glacier thing must be less "bassy" and more "airy" and high pitched... Just a personal opinion! :)
@@ThinkSpaceEducation thank you. Well i love music but i have no money to buy all this amazing spitfire stuff. So i work low Budget. Maybe you can do more content for the poor people ? I could never spend 1k euros for a spitfire Audio lib. I use reason daw. And every product presentation of your show is simply a dream. I mean if you r professionall composer earning money with music ok but if you just love make music for Passion it is Not reachable . The way you showed today gives hope to do this amazing stuff.

@@ThinkSpaceEducation grazie 😃
Playing with sound is the entire reason we're all here it's so much fun creating your own samples and then twisting and turning them.
true! Thanks!
This is toppers! I tried the same with some bowed saz/tagelharpa drones.

I need to start sampling my own stuff, that was fantastic Guy!
Go for it!
"Everybody here rhymes; it's very important." LOOOOOOL! I love that... also your general giddiness :)
I just love you Guy, its been 26 years since the Eyewitness series and I haven't forgotten the tune...great video as always.
How time flies eh!?

Lovvve seeing you back in 2020, Guy!!! HNY..... Cant wait for more stuff this year!! Whooooopp ;-) M.
That treated Kora sounds epic!
This turned out super well. love your videos.
All of your videos are super duper. Thank you :)
.. a lovely job done very, very well.
Great Sound. Very Black Hawk Down.
Thank u! Could you explain in one of your next videos how to create a playable instrument from these sounds? May be a Kontakt library or smth
this was awesome!! SuperDuper My Friend!
Ha Thanks!
ThinkSpace Education your energy is amazing! Keep rocking on making dope music!
Guy please update more videos 🙏
Ok if you say so
If Bear McCreary and Hans Zimmer had a child it would be a Guy...
Thanks, Guy! Your work is so helpful and inspiring! I think I have to revive my old (and almost forgotten) Iris 2, too!
Its a great piece of software

Sounds fantastic, thanks Guy! BTW: Happy 2020!
And to you!
It sounds so good, kinda give me a scandinavian vibe, but mainly remembers me of the witcher 3 :o
Yes I thought that too
This is brilliant really great sound time to dig out some instruments me thinks...
Go for it!
Thanks Guy,..this is so good,,,,makes me think of the soundtracks of Wallander.
Really nice. Very evocative.
Wow! Very cool.
20:19 Put some Clishe-Duduk on it and it could be part of the soundtrack to "Black Hawk Down" :D

Cubase is the best all round tool for me but everyone has their own favorite there's no right answer
@@ThinkSpaceEducation Guy and Hans Zimmer uses Cubase... I like it, thanks!
What other vst will allow me to import recorded sounds and manipulate them like you did with Iris 2?
Love that sound.
Thanks!
I always lend a 1730 Stradivari to sample some hard hitting col legno! 😂👍
YESS! Love it!
Magnificent.
You want to try experimenting with Melda Production's MBassador over top of that.
This is awesome. You mind sharing sound/samples you created?
Inspired the hell outta me!
You should make more music like this with these mysterious/eerie vibes, it sounds great for like a video game trailer opening scene! :)
Maybe Im naturally a dark and eerie kind of person!
@@ThinkSpaceEducation I think we all have a little of that. I love your content and enthusiasm Guy, it inspires me to do my own music :)

💙 to this channel😎✌️
In the early days of sampling (1980's) I used to record things like bricks scraping concrete or hitting a tub of water with a steel pole. :)
Bricks and concrete?, making musique concrete.

great and fun
Great stuff!
i miss you so much my teacher
At 10:19 Guy is giving us a sneak peak of the next tool album
Your still a music genius 🎼
There are songs that say - rosin up you bow.
Can you tell me where to buy a "scandinavian droney type of thingy"? Too funny.
A nyckelharpa? Go to Poeta Magica's leader Holger Funke.
more !!
