  • Ambient box is amplified by one piezoelectric sensor.
    The springs of different thickness are tuned to different notes.
    Ableton Live used to add some effects.

    Even if that was postet 4 years ago, I´m seeing this today for the first time. Very impressive and interesting! Now I want to build one myself - thanks for the inspiration!

      Same here, just got this in my feed today. I suspect it's been suggested because I just watched a couple of videos about the Korg 'Acoustic Synth' prototype that just got revealed at the Berlin audio tech show recently.

    I used to play with my electric guitar for hours with different reverbs and echo effects on, its amazing how it can be so expressive and expansive from such a minimal source, like a guitar string pluck or in this case a spring...

    The harmonics from the tap you do at 2:18 are so good. felt like you were getting a chord off the kalimba bit.

      @@demp11 you can see plugins doing that stuff on his screen. You can also use things like Crystallizer, Echoboy by Soundtoys. Or even all their EffectRack from Bundle to go crazier with Filterfreak, Panman etc. Either use any delay with pitchshifters, any randomizers plus a whole bunch of reverb.

    The song feels like the character is in a cavern with colorful and shiny diamonds . It's darker than the other cavern, even with a lamp. There's no monsters, no enemy, but someone (or something) is watching you.

    It's amazing how much there is into physical instruments. They speak the world. Navigate through thr noise and find a vibe. Synths are really clean usually, can't get the same result as a simply mic'd instrument

    you say the springs are tuned, but it doesn't sound like anything is tuned. it sounds like you're using an effect within ableton to force-pitch various sounds that build up overtime due to the large amount of reverb and delay that doesn't roll off
