Bastl Instruments Cuckoo Documentary 2017
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- I went to visit BASTL INSTRUMENTS in february 2017, and took the opportunity to shoot a documentary about them. It's rather like a community than a company, so it wasn't easy capturing the whole picture.

thank you cuckoo - great job as always - I like you didn`t show much of the products but rather the people and community. It is the most exciting part of the whole thing
What you are doing is very inspiring!
My pleasure! It was a really great week for me, getting to know you guys a little better. I'm glad I finally took the time to go visit you! Long overdue ;-)
Really nice! Thanks
you guys are really inspiring and this captures the ethos perfectly. really cool
you guys are freaking awesome
Videos like this shows there's still hope for mankind. Well done, Cuckoo.
watching this has made me so glad I bought something from them!

What did you buy? Do you still use it?
I like Cheese ooppps only just seen this reply. Thanks for the kick in the ass!
Un Usuario sorry about the delay in getting back to you I have only just seen your comment! I got Kastle. Then got Bitranger, dude and Softpop. All used regularly in my music stuff and experiments.
Same here. First got the Kastle version 1.0 and then got the Softpop. The Softpop became my favorite synth and still is.
Ahhh.... alma mater :) Great documentary, but I have to say it's nothing compared to actually being there. The entire place is overflowing with creative energy, and I'm glad I was able to share it for a while. It's quite unbelievable what happened with Bastl in three years! Big shout out to woodworking crew!
Thanks Cuckoo! That's a 5$ ticket-worthy docu there! And btw, they're literally called "biscuits" but no American knows why!
Yes, You Care about the people... and We are here and We Love Bastl....
It's beautiful when people can find a way to have real connections to the products of their labor and to common working class people in these alienated times.
For someone who is tends toward cynicism and who is also just getting his feet wet with Modular, this documentary was extremely inspiring. Thank you for producing it. What a great and creative group of people!
+Aaron Brown thanks Aaron! I appreciate it. It's a truly amazing group of people, the Bastl community.
Seeing that the wooden panels are meticulously hand-finished makes me proud to build their modules and bring them to life - a small piece of the fantastic Bastl ethos in my rack....Thanks Cuckoo (and Bastl)
Such a huge fan! I bought one (drum), then bought another (synth), then another (MG), and another (Dude)… now? I buy it ALL! Love it!
thank you cuckoo, thank you bastl. you made me cry
Really nice guys at bastl. I ordered a module during the peak of covid and because shipping took so long they sent me a free utility module and a t-shirt
I loved watching this documentary. I own a dude. Best mixer i owned! Thank you for making this content!
Man I would love to work somewhere like BASTL. Nothing worth living for in Canada aside from our semi-free healthcare and overly quiet towns. Jobs around here are slavery, these people are living their jobs and love it. I need to start looking at moving around the world.
Great work. Thanks! Someone should do a Cuckoo doc.

Bastl got my attention with one of their videos hosted by a woman. Now, I have four modules from them, love them all. It's funny how these little things make such a difference for girls trying to start on electronic music. Great documentary, only wished it had an interview with one of the bastl ladies, they are mentioned so briefly at the end.
+Alessa Camarinha yes I had hoped to meet here myself during my time there! She's clearly awesome. But it was bad timing that week :-/
perhaps the best rated youtube video - 1323 to 1 (Korg investor)
Really great stuff. This group of people are just so incredible to me. I just bought the Kastle DIY Kit today as my very first step in learning the very basics of making electronics...and when I say first steps I mean...I've never even soldered before. Thanks vey much Bastl and Cuckoo

The microgranny has changed my life. I am able to capture moments of audio like my daughter learning to talk, my dog playing with toys and integrate them in music in a quick intuitive way. I admire their genius.
I really wish I could move from Atlanta Georgia, to the Czech Republic, BASTL my dream job! Great to see how everything is made, behind the scenes and such... I love what they come up with, I fucking love it... you have my full support, everyone involved.
jak může mít někdo tak velkou slovní zásobu v angličtině a přitom mluvit jak absolutně nedotčený přízvukem rodilých mluvčích? Čistá krása. Každopádně jste skvělý, držím vám palce a šetřím na vaše výrobky!
Comming to Brno next summer with my family. My secret agenda is to visit Bastl, and maybe check out an event, drink beer and hope to attend an jamsession.
Love your machines.

Nice film about a really cool community. Bastl is inspiring.
I'm very excited that the Thyme seems to be getting closer to production. It looks very different from the prototype they had last year. And whatever Peter Edwards is working on...
this is super ace. great work cuckoo, and what a good bunch they are
Amazing documentary! Thanks for producing and sharing it :)
This documentary was really good and then got amazing at 36:33. What an amazing company, BASTL for life!
A true inspirational film. Makes me want to head over for a coffee and modular session, or at least learn a little.. thank you!
In my mind, Brno carries a reputation of unique and high quality design and construction, often at very competitive price points. This is coming from the perspective of a hunter and target shooter. I'm just getting into making music, and it is very nice to see this reputation is cross pollinating to music in Brno. This video has me dreaming of a visit once it's safe to travel again.
I love my MicroGranny man and now even more, thanks for this upload Cuckoo and Bastl
Pete's videos taught me how to make my first oscillator. Been going further down the synth rabbit hole ever since!
"Looks like biscuits" congrats, you guessed correct on the first time!
im a producer from milw. just found your channel its so great especially to new guys like myself ty
I can't believe this is 5 years old. What a cool community and a cool spotlight! May Bastl continue to be prosperous for many years.
What a great company.
Yeah they're awesome!
Fantastic content and a great advert for why people should be looking at Bastl and similar small manufacturers where they care about more than just their bottom line.
Oh, another wonderful documentary where you let the people just calmly talk about their stuff which makes it really interesting. Met Václav and Leoš at Musikmesse 2015 and they were so nice. I hope this video will bring even more customers to Bastl. They make really cool products. Also, lovely to hear Peter Edwards talk and do his EQ beat at 32:20!
Brilliant. Watching this was a really nice moment
Great job Cuckoo, very much enjoyed this. We should make a point to chat at Superbooth this year, I think we only had a very brief hello last year.
Wow, Cuckoo is a bit of a wood worker? I didn't know this. His knowledge of the biscuits and biscuit jointer leads me to think he's made some sawdust in his day.
I'm sure these take some time to finish and the opportunity to do one is not always there but please more of this.
What a documentary, what a great and creative community :))
Excellent. I'm new to the synth world and this was an inspirational viewing.
Cuckoo!!! I admit to being slightly skeptical about the length. I apologize. I was mesmerized from beginning to end. Funny, inspiring, very well edited and terrific subjects. I just LOVE this. Bravo. Not only do I want to visit, but I want ALL their products :)
What a tremendous story you've helped present to the world! Thank you.
@16:33 super-fascinating synth-physical-world ideas, "Artificial Superbrain Drummer" included.
Really great documentary, Cuckoo! I really learned a lot about Bastl and the community around it. Now I need to travel back to Brno, which I visited once back in 2008!
What an excellent Documentary! Very inspiring.
Amazing documentary. Much respect.
THANKS MAN !!
Totally brilliant and inspirational. Thank you Bastl, for being who you are, and thanks cuckoo, for showing us a part of it all.
This is a very important video. Emphasis on important. Some of us already enjoy and love Bastl and the things they do but this video will help and inspire a lot of people. Looking forward to meeting you guys (again) in Superbooth.
hi cuckoo! thanks for this great documentary... I have some bastl instruments in my home-studio and really love them & now I love them more, knowing which nice people are making all the stuff... Most of all I liked the clearly differentation between company and coumminty! that's a very important philosophy... hope to enjoy my next coffee at bastl-café soon...
Thank you Cuckoo! Not only are you a talented musician but a great documentary film maker as well.
There's hope out there!... CHEERS!!!
Just a quick note to thank you for this excellent documentary that investigates and celebrates the imagination, innovation, collaboration and hard work required to make useful and interesting products that make a difference. I appreciate your choice to spend more time interviewing the people that make it happen rather than the technicalities of their products. Great piece of work!
Wow.. this is just so inspiring! I truly hope and pray that us humans will continue to grow in this vein of creative work and play and the nucleus communities that will spring from dedication to this very reason we exist in the cosmos baby!
You are doing such great work and service Mr. Cuckoo, long live you dude.
Keep it running. Run de traack!!
hej cuckoo! i'm really off my rocker - your documentary is bringing the community to the people with heart - wow. i'm playing on modularsystems since maybe 5 years now, but i never got such cool view into this community before. thx so much
Awesome documentary, thanks for making!!
Great doc, great crew, big respect for both !!!
Wow! Such an inspiring piece of film. I love Bastl's whole ethos and aesthetic. They make it incredibly difficult to resist the lure of the modular money pit! Great work Cuckoo!
Great stuff! I wish I could visit these fine folks myself someday!!
Obsessed, funny, creative enthusiasts. Keep this spirit guys! Cuckoo, your documentary videos about DIY musicians and sound labs deserves to be regular.
Thanks! I want to do more documentaries like this. I need to think of another community/ DIY company/ thing..
Just now got to watch this. Fantastic documentary. Wonderfully done.
Thank you! I’m so glad I got around to make his. I love Bastl!
Thanks for sharing!
good job
fabulous documentary Cuckoo, thanks. They seem like such an inspiring company, no...community! I think you really touched on something at the end with the idea of the group working collectively. More and more with these young companies driven by curiosity and the desire to overcome whatever obstacles are keeping them from pursuing their dreams, you get a sense of 'the shift in perception' which aligns their passions with the wider community. The shift seems inherently ethical and sustainable. They are the future! Thanks again x
Fantastic little documentary! Great to get an inside peak at this collective!
+Jon Engman thanks!!
Cuckoo thank you so much for this video! hugs from the Netherlands! :)
It’s a pity one can only give 1 “like” to a video on UA-cam : a very interesting documentary !
I watched it when you put it on youtube more than 1 year ago and enjoyed it again today : really inspiring stuff !
Thanks mate!
This was great Cuckoo! I was not paying as much attention to Bastl as I should have, but I really am now. Thanks!
Thanks! Bastl is lovely!
wow, the hive mind at work. love it, so cool
Really brilliantly made video, as usual cuckoo. Really shows what a lovely company BASTL is and im very happy to give them money
Thanks!
Awesome documentary man! I'm not a fan of these videos but this is so much fun. So many people who seem so happy about their lifes as musicians and creators makes me feel a bit more comfortable thinking of becoming a musician.
amazing film, absolutely love this!
Thanks!
Thanks for that amazing documentary about a truly inspiring community!
Thanks for making such an inspiring documentary
Endless gratitude to you for making this, Cuckoo. However, the one burning question throughout was: _where is Nikol????_
Thank you so much for making and sharing this documentary. I love the attitude and general passion these guys have for experimentation and just making cool stuff. The synth community thanks you!
Thank you for sharing this insight. It's great to see people with passion working together. So inspiring.
GREAT WORK BRAVO .....
what a group of cool & interesting people, thanks for posting.
Nice ! Thank you to share this !
Thanks for this great documentary cuckoo! you're an inspiration :)
"Why wouldn't you want to take a synthesizer to the woods?" Exactly what I am putting together right now. Camping is the only holiday we can have now.
Great job! Keep on!
great vibe there
Great video, and great people.
This was a wonderful watch. What an amazing company!
What a nice company. Great documentary, would love to see an update and see how they handled the pandy!
I am really enjoying your documentaries! Keep up the great work.
I love Bastl instruments synths and this is such a great showcase of their talent, young energy and love for what they are creating. It's really special, and I'm glad the company is growing. I wish I could work with them :) Great documentary Cuckoo!
Very good. Thank you cuckoo. Really interesting.
I find as my musical career progresses, that I am wanting to move away from the Roland and Korg musical offering's (although very thankful for a helpful starting place), and tentatively explore other musical designers and mavericks, if you will, in the hope of one day actually being able to get my head around this dream of creating an opus of such magnitude that it would quite literally be described as a monument to mankind and thus ending all wars and greed. And...
Oh damn... I thank I'm a bit inebriated... So sorry...
Great doc! I especially loved seeing the projects that are coming down the pipeline and the philosophy behind them. Looking forward to learning more about the international jams!
SUCH A GOOD DOC
Awesome to see the people behind the project :) love their approach and instruments. Cheers Cuckoo o/
Thanks! Yeah the Bastl gang is the real deal. Such lovely people.
o man I want to be a part of this amazing synth community in Czech Republic lol. I could sit around and play ur prototypes dudes!
thank you so much for this Cuckoo! You really managed to capture the whole crew and all
Excellent!
Really nice documentary
This is amazing! Thank you
