Check out the Whole EP on bandcamp. in description!
if you want one of these cheap parabolic mic's just hop on ebay and search it up. there were loads of stock of this exact mic! good luck
This is awesome 😂 You should do like an 80s washed out VHS video for it - watch "Palais Schaumburg, Wir bauen eine neue Stadt" for a style example. Can't wait to see you in Hamburg!
I really enjoyed the last ep, I'm excited about this one
Honestly the part at 9:02 sounds eerily similar to Rotten Skeletor - Aavebordelli. Not that I think you plagiarized a very old, very niche Finnish internet meme song but it just awoke some memories.
Downloading my purchase right now...new new new wave punk
where can we get this on vinyl ?
"I couldn't help but overhear your conversation..."
My grandfather had a parabolic microphone and tape recorder in the eighties that he used to record birdsong, seeing this has brought back memories of him thank you
I had a homemade one for that same reason. Such a cool contraption!
I would just record peoples farts all day
@@RalfSRobotRalf There's websites that would save you the trouble.
1:30 ah yes, 1873 AD, when Brahms composed the piece; Drum-Machine Sonata No. 69 in 4/20 Tempo
Funny thing about those parabolic-microphones, for some reason my dad keeps buying them for me... every couple of years he finds one at a carboot-sale and i get asked "have you got one of these?"
I've got about 6 in the loft now 🤣
You can never have too many parabolic microphones
You could make an array of them to try mapping sound in 3D.
@@trulyinfamous oh, that's brilliant! If I didn't have a million other projects, that would be a good one.
I was visiting the museum for my first time last Sunday. I was there for hours. I can't believe i somehow missing the rotary speaker on the ceiling!
Wow you guys turned into kraftwerk with this one!
That's how it sounded so familiar. I couldn't put my finger to it. Yes, very Kaftwerk!
I see a mad scientist rebuild using quality electronics, vacuum tubes & God knows what else to get damn clean sound captures...
An 80cm TV dish, good microphone with proper low noise preamplification will catch conversations held in the next town over.
There is a whole movie about that, from 1974, "The Conversation", with Gene Hackman, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
now I'm wondering if Sam knows about "the thing" & who invented it- this would close the story's loop nicely:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)
A friend had a mic like this as a kid. We ran around the neighbourhood feeling like spies with it, trying to listening in on random people :D
SAME!
When you are recording outside, it really picks up that cracle from the gravel on the street.
This really reminds me of these vomyme-filtering hearing protection that I've got. It's not like modern noise-cancelling headphones, but they are industrial-grade hearing protection with hearing assist, so you are supposed to be able to hear normal speech but not loud noise.
If you crank the volume on them, the sound gets similairly weird, and they pick up the most miniscule noises, like the sound of rain outside, or the rustle of your pants.
I work in a workshop with a huge, leaky compressed air system, and that makes those headphones completely unusable because all you hear is the cacaphony of a hundred leaky air seals.
I had one of these after begging my ma to get one after seeing it in the back of popular science. Had to mail off a check and everything. Also had the spy glasses as well. I ende up modifying it and made the reflector dish(?) bigger. It was surprisingly effective but from what I remember, very noisy. My ma used to have me "spy" on the neighbors bbq'ing and find out what music they were playing on the radio and then we'd blast the same station over the sound system. It was good harmless fun. At night it was loads of fun just scanning the woods to see what I could pick up. I was devastated when it broke during a move.
I absolutely love this duo.
Your creativity, and those of your collaborators, is never less than inspiring. Terrific video, and loved that first track you were putting down. Thank you!
That Movement In The Mirror one is really cool. Hainbach's doing those soft-of dead-pan Kraftwerky vocals and your new-wave early-1980s style really works well with them
The words I was looking for!
You two make such an exciting combination. I'm so excited for the full album.
WoW! The two of you come along really well😊
You two are amazing together ❤
This music is just magic. Love it, you two.
I loved the rotary vid so much I bought the EP as I was still watching the video lol :) You guys are so much fun together!
That saturation, though. So gloriously filthy.
Fun fact about my NHS digital hearing aids. I have normal mode for general every day stuff but I also have a second mode which I've named it as "turbo mode" and seriously, it's uncanny on how it can pick up sounds from literally miles away - and that's on top of continuous urban noise. It's hard to describe it and if only there is a way to connect it to a recording device to show you, but it is pretty much the nearest thing to a "spy microphone".
Just put it against the mic of your phone?
"I don't use it's sound. I use it as a sequencer. Because a sequencer is super fun."
That's the best reason for doing almost anything.
I love how Hainbach's voice becomes excited while reading the words "tape recorder". :)
That was really fun to watch, you guys make a great duo
You can totally use a squirrel baffle for bird feeders to make a huge parabolic microphone. I made one for my AudioMoth setup but it works for other things too.
Always looks like you guys have such a great time
Pure genius! Duo infernale!
Always loving LMNC x Hainbach collabs! You're both so damn dope. I'd love to work with you.
Kraftwerk Radioactivity vibes on that mike!
This reminds me a lot of the Edmund Scientific Parabolic Microphone that was in their early 1980's catalogs. I really wanted one.
I love this team!
Such fun stuff, the two of you together reminds me of my early music days, when we'd manage to borrow a 4 track and maybe someone had a very basic drum machine and a pedal or two, some shockingly bad noise and distortion because you literally had no idea how to do it properly, together with appalling soldering skills, sticky tape and a "Realistic" brand microphone that only worked if you shouted - but what great times! Must not forget the "play" in "play music"!
you 2 will be delivering us to the future with past technology.
Awesome seeing a collab together guys!
my first and only tape machine was a Dokorder - It had built in tape "reverb" (the playback head sent the signal back to the record head) I literally threw this deck into a dumpster because I needed to move. I Literally thought to myself, that I would regret this decision. I do ;) Thanks for all of these videos! I love how you dig so deeply into all these different ways to create music!
Amazing sounds and I had no idea cheap Parabolic mics existed. Definitely going to get one ❤
I see a couple of good friends having a great time making music together
Great stuff by a fabulous duo! The slowed down beat at @12:08 onwards reminded me of Silk Rhodes' "Real Time"
This was very cool, thought the parabolic mic would be like an old spy tool haha. The riff at 9:00 sounds so similar to German techno-industrial or light EBM - would sound great with growled vocals over it!
I just happened to purchase that parabolic mic a few weeks ago! I was showing my wife how nice the sound was. This is great!
🔥🔥🔥 Best video and album yet 🔥🔥🔥
Man, you guys know how to have fun!
Sounds wonderful 😮
I bought one of these from a magazine as a child! So much nostalgia!
So much fun! I really dig this track you're showing off!! I started off doing music with my buddy doing live jams with seriously low-level stuff - Synsonics drums, Poly 800, tape loops from answering machines, I think we had a single phaser pedal and a Radio Shack reverb unit. For anyone who hasn't tried this sort of jamming, give it a shot, it's a friggin blast and you come up with some truly wacky stuff!!
Just bought your record and heard it all the way through... totally fuggin fun and loved it you guys!!!
KILLER TRACK ❤
fantastic collab
Absolute total and utter CHAOS.
Wow, that sound experiment reminds me of my youth, the 80s ... I love it! The German / English language mix adds on top, nicely
That is a fantastic sound.
Really excellent bass reproduction by whatever mic you brought, really shocked me when my subwoofer kicked in 😅
it's like watching aphex twin or kraftwerx or skinny puppy and ogre making their masterpieces! I live you guys so much for letting me experience this second hand! I really reallyean it! TY TY TY TY TY!
it reminds me of those massive pitchside microphones the NFL use with mic operators to capture on-field play, but in a budget and style Erich MIelke would've loved
Good job the guy walking away @06;00 didnt fart. ☺🤣🤣🤣
Great video 2x👍
proper large-dish parabolic microphones actually sound amazing but this tiny one likely cuts off at 2 kHz. The size of the dish directly influences how much of the frequency range actually makes it to the microphone capsule
It's actually a small parabolic microphone. I once saw one at a flea market that was like half a meter in diameter. I didn't buy it though, because the reflector was missing but I could see the size from the frame where it used to be.
Haha, the excitement discovering the low quality recording... loved the sounds you took in the park...
This was super cool, amazing how well it picked up the pedestrian and cyclist.
5:10 It seams to me a number station recording ahahah amazing. Your EP Pipe Dreams is amazing the song Bordsteinkante is my favorite.
Hilarious great geeky stuff. I love your videos !!!
Hot damn that sounds awesome. To the bandcamp -mobile- !
solid gold
Sounds quality matey
So Kraftwerky, love it
I'm hyped!
Prepare to hear a bunch of mixes with that Hainbach sample.
12:25, nearly had the same reaction lmao, that sounds so sick 🔥🔥
The track is 💯 🤖 🔥 The only problem is now we want more and u r stuck with new fans. I love the EP! I would say some some more mixing of vocals to be lower in the mix...with some reverb/delay or lofi filtering is all it needs to be pure gold. It's just to good to sound so old and have the vocals sound raw
The EP is... is... the best.
Ohhh I used to own one of those microphones! It was so sensitive, it was crazy!
Great job removing all obstacles! 🚫 🚧
ooh those slow downs at the end were sick
I NEED THIS
OH THE SOUND EFFECTS I COULD MAKE !!!!!
I bought one of those microphones too! No use as yet. Cool track you guys were making at the end.
very cool, always wanted one
Best lo-fi duo
I actually remember these from when I was a kid, maybe a 90s / early 00s product? Was marketed as a “spy” tool at the toy shop.
I'd ALWAYS wondered how good/bad a cheap parabolic mic sounded. Nice to see that it sounds like soft lofi junk.
Good stuff!
Geniuses ⚡️
Great track❤❤❤ 🎉
I remember back in early 70's in a Swedish DIY electronics book was a microphone very much made like this one. In the near end was a like a kitchen funnel that concentrated the sound to the mike element facing the funnel a few inches away. But from the funnel and facing outwards were plastic tubes in various lengths, with the longest in the middle of the beam and then becoming successively shorter and shorter (spiralling). The idea was to have like a magnifier (the rounded funnel) but have it direction sensitive, by the tubes.
I guess the whole arrangement must have been 2-3 feet in length. Maybe I could try to make a sort of drawing and presenting it on the LMNC DIY-forum.
And the 80's and early 90's (at least in Norway) we had the Select mail order catalogue - the "Whisper 2000" was heavily advertised in that one. Just a box with an ultra-sensitive (lol, sure) mic. It was the Wish / AliXpress thing of the times. Cheap imported Made In Hong Kong stuff, for those of you old enough to know what that meant at the time ;)
very interesting stuff you come up with together lately. Und Neukölln Beste.
that thing is cool, i can imagine spys using those. im sure i saw something like this used in the tv show The blacklist, 8th season
Love the name "Basement of Doom" 😄
Love this! Although I'd highly advise against using the sniper-scope microphone gun in the USA or outside major military or other high security buildings!
I had this one as a kid! Crazy to see it here again 😁👍 (no, i think it wasn’t your version, mine had no recording function if i remember right, you had to use a walkman capable of recording for that)
That recording looks like a lot of work but also a lot of fun
I'm sure, there's a ISD1420 chip inside the parabolic recorder. Sample rate 6,4KHz filter pass 2,4KHz. I've noticed, the red led blinks at the end of the recording. It's typical for this chip.
That recorded train sound sounds very cinematic.
I love how you think sound
i swear, this is the source of most "paranormal" audio recordings.
Awesome video 😊
@8:09 it looks like Hainback was waiting for a alien squirrel to pop its head out of the bin with some kinetic persuasion and shoot it with his "Mars Attacks" ray gun LOL
that mic reminds me of the animated film Hoodwinked, Wolf puts his arm down and starts to hear voices coming from the ground..
I need a bottled scent of Hainbach’s den.
Quintessential brit-kraut! Oder kraut-brit? Ultrawerk & Kraftvox.
2:38 very cool beat!
nerding for the win :)
banger. so glad people are doing this. I served my apprenticeship in lofi-land, oscillators & tape-loops, long delays, shouting & cheap guitars.
& look where we are now- 45 years later, millions of albums sold.... 🤣
hey sam, you knew about this, right?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)
Absolutely fantastic!!! Where are the Tour Dates? Or is Stephan a secret guest on your upcoming dates? See you in Cologne....!
Seems perfect for a release on cassette =P
