Good lord. It like the essence of human sorrow in an instrument. The eerie sharp vibrato adds so much more empathy to the notes. Almost as if it was a last breath.
This is the most accurate and most poetic comment on here. And I totally agree...it does sound like a sorrowful last breath in the form of a song. Which to my melancholy artist's heart sounds deeply beautiful. Thanks for commenting!
This could literally be an instrument used to describe a looming monster or a deity with not the best intentions or when something horrible is unfolding. _I love it._
+Evan J I think your comparison is completely unfair but it made me laugh (in fact, I'm still chuckling at it as I write this), so you get a thumbs-up to your comment. (...still giggling).
+SvartSjel I absolutely agree there. He's playing in C minor and the instrument obviously lends itself to eerie minor key parts. If you tried to play a song in C major like Beethoven's 9th, your opinion would differ.
Dylan (laughs) Sorry about that confusion! I should've just said "any major key piece" as this instrument obviously lends itself to 'darker' sounding pieces. I *believe* I confused #9 with the 8th symphony. I don't listen to classical music as often as I once did, and it's been many years since music appreciation classes I'm in a world/ethnic/cultural music phase these past few years.
We're one step closer to having an entire orchestra composed of hurdy gurdys. We just need something deeper than the Wheelharp, and something slightly higher pitched than the normal hurdy gurdy.
this thing sounds like an orchestra of tortured violins playing a lullaby for Mephistopheles it's just abhorrent and screechy and discordant I love it.
Nicholas Markovich it's the way the guy is playing it that is making everyone hate it! if he played something sad or beautiful out of this thing then people would really appreciate it!
Interesting instrument! Although limited in dynamic and vibrato control you gain essentially an entire string quartet in one instrument. It also has a bellow quality to it without being a wind instrument which is cool
I hear that too, but I feel like it just adds to a dissonans that still gets resolved occassionally at the tones that happen to be better in tune with eachother
I'm afraid the sound this instrument produces brings back memories of the 'music' produced by the junior school orchestra my children used to play in...
+Fixti0n Some off music stores will carry them or you can find a person to make a custom one. Ive always loved the hauntingly horrific beauty a wheelharp can bestow into ones soul, its always made me calm :)
I really like the general vibe of this instrument. Its "tortured" sound adds a level of melancholic depth I've been searching for in bizarre instruments for uears now.
It's beautiful, it's a very emotional instrument. It's like it's telling a story, it somehow just connects with your mind to create this deep pain filled story that could bring you to tears and leave you without any words for explanation. I love the sound
Brittany McCarty this instrument would be best to play for any theme. not just for the darksided creepy and eirieness, but this would definitely replace bagpipe memorials soon!! it just depends on the touch of its player!
Idk if you're still around. But I genuinely love people like you. I personally could barely stand it. But that's just me and that's okay. The fact there's people out there that can appreciate these and other kinds of things is what keeps creativity going. God knows I make music and sounds people would find grotesque. So I can't say this instrument is bad. Only that I'm not a fan. But good on you, man. Follow that joy and happiness. 👍
I love the sounds it’s so screechy like an old tortured machine that is desperately trying its hardest to play its melody and share its message, despite the roughness and decay
+Kevin R. Serrano -- I can see why the demo is given by a film composer. From Wikipedia: The wheelharp is a musical instrument with bowed strings controlled by a keyboard and foot-controlled motor, similar to Leonardo da Vinci's Viola organista, a keyboard-operated string instrument for continuously sounding strings by rubbing the strings with spinning wheels, powered by a treadle controlled by one foot of the musician. Created by Jon Jones and Mitchell Manger, the wheelharp debuted at the 2013 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. According to the Wall Street Journal, it "looks and works like a cross between a harpsichord and a hurdy-gurdy: a motor driven wheel spins, rubbing against strings when the player depresses a key."
Kevin R. Serrano A caravan is a group of people traveling in mobile homes. Gypsies tend to enjoy music with accordions and fiddles. My simile was comparing the sound of those burning instruments and the screams of people to the sound of this instrument.
It sounds like a cross between a hurdy-gurdy and a nyckelharpa. It also reminds me of an early synth, though electronica could never quite replicate the sound of a good analogue instrument. Wonderful.
I'm torn between the coolness of this unique instrument and the imagination it took to create, and the sound that it makes. Which, honestly, has dethroned Bagpipes as the most nerve grindingly uncomfortable noise man has made. ;-)
Actually, if you listen to some other recordings of music on this instrument, it is actually quite beautiful. I think it may sound terrible here because of the chords he uses, and probably the way he is playing it. After all, the piece he is playing is the theme from "Devil May Call," so it is entirely probable that he is playing that way on purpose.
I love this. I can imagine this being used well in a piece where you want something to sound both eerie and heartrending. Dark, yes, but beautiful in its own unpolished way.
For a film score this would be perfect which is what it was created for. I'm not sure why so many people dislike it, it is unnerving on purpose, and does a brilliant job at doing what it was made for.
Everyone hating on the instrument because it doesn't sound perfect and clear. Why would we need another instrument that can do that? We have plenty of them already.
Music is supposed to be beautiful. This isn't. It's a cool idea but it just doesn't SOUND good. This sounds like dragging 1.000.000 cats down a highway, it's horrendous.
Saying music is supposed to be beautiful is such a shallow and uneducated way of viewing music. Music is meant to invoke feeling. Do you find a horror score beautiful? Music sets the mood. Whether it is horrendous or calming, Music being beautiful is a very western idea anyway, if you have ever heard music from other areas of the world you will find they don't sound as beautiful to you. To them, its the other way around.
That instrument would be soo perfect for some of those psychological horror / terror types of productions. I'm almost sure Stephen King would have a use for one in his movies. Very cool in it's own right.
Around 1490, Leonardo da Vinci designed such a wheel stringed instrument played by a keyboard that he called 'Viola organista'. (violin-organ). However, it was unsure he could really built what he only drew. .In 1600, the german engineer Hans Hayden built its look like harpsichord 'geigenwerk' (violin machine) where the strings of a harpsichord were gathered by groups of 8 over separate bridges and wheels. All the wheels were moved simultaneously by a rocking pedal. When a key is pressed, a lever pull down the related string in contact with the related rotating wheel. A historical copy built in 1625 by the spanish monk Fray Raymundo Truchado is on exhibition at the Royal Museum of musical instruments in Brussel (Belgium). In our times the Japaneese maker Akio Obuchi started to build and improve the Geigenwerk in the 1990's. His website included a full explanation and history about this instrument; Two years ago a polish harpsichordist built successfully such a Geigenwerk with which he gave public concerts.
Matthew Latawiec Because M.Slawomir Zubrzycki's Viola Organista copy it's not an important step in the history of this instrument but an outdated and late devellopment like this Wheelharp which aren't original inventions. Here below is the link of M Zubrzycki website where he explained the conditions of his rebuilding copy. You could notice that he was inspired by: I- Hans Hayden Viola Organista from 1575 but depicted in Michael Praetorius Syngtama Musicum published in 1600, II- the Viola Celi built by Fray Raymundo Truchado in 1625 now on exhibition at the Royal Museum of musical instruments in Brussels, III- above all by the description of the Viola Organista copy from Hans Hayden model that the polish Jan Jarmuciewicz published in the 1880's. For my own point of view the most important was the revival of this instrument M Akio Obuchi has done in the modern times from 1993 www.zubrzycki.art.pl/Viola%20Organista_En.htm .
"Hey, I kinda got my hands full, and i have to be at the recital hall in, like, 5 minutes. Would you do me a huge favor and tune my whee..." "Hell no."
Fantastic instrument! Have to say the composition didn't do it justice at all, I think so many more awesome sounds could have been made with it, but oh well.
The Fat Punisher: Obviously you never heard my Concerto for Wheelharp and Yoko Ono. It's said that one hearing would drive people to jump off the nearest bridge as it sounded a squeaking chalkboard accompanied by a bag of cats being rapidly twirled around.
Okay, you deserve many, many more thumbs up for that. Concerto for Wheelharp and Yoko Ono! I have a very shrill ol' rescue Turkish Angora who would like to be first chair for your bag of cats.
This sounds like it's something someone listening to a soundtrack would have a difficult time identifying. To anyone saying it sounds terrible, this piece seems to have been written to have a horror edge; find other videos of the Wheelharp, and it sounds like a deep bass cello or other bowed string instrument.
All these people saying it sounds bad... I keep coming back to this video because I think it's very beautiful. Those consonances are so resonant. To each his own I guess.
For all of you out there complaining about how "harsh" and "creepy" this instrument sounds, open up your brain and think for a second. This instrument is supposed to sound like this. It's meant to sound medieval and rustic. So maybe next time before you post how harsh it sounds, remember that maybe it's intended for a reason.
i actually find this piece quite charming, in its own way. a haunting, melancholy song, accompanied by the genuine and organic sound of the instrument. chilling, almost.
I feel like this is the type of instrument that befits a surreal and somber psychological thriller. It's not there to soothe or comfort, but to accentuate an air of apathetic dread, and an atmosphere of one long agonisingly slow discord. Akin to a horrible train wreck happening only in the barest increments that could last centuries. Also, it reminds me of _Everywhere at the End of Time._
Good lord. It like the essence of human sorrow in an instrument. The eerie sharp vibrato adds so much more empathy to the notes. Almost as if it was a last breath.

9 years later I keep coming back to this, it's a hauntingly beautiful piece, on a hauntingly beautiful instrument.
I find myself back here every couple of months. It almost haunts me I adore it.
Eerily beautiful. I see a lot of negative comments about the instrument, but it's really a soulful, sad, elegant sound.
+SvartSjel I absolutely agree there. He's playing in C minor and the instrument obviously lends itself to eerie minor key parts. If you tried to play a song in C major like Beethoven's 9th, your opinion would differ.

It's like the opposite of "if it's stupid and it works..."
it would sound great for darker stuff, but I don't think you could make it sound elegant.
Don't forget, it was build by hand. This could be the beginning of an elegant instrument.
But god damn, does it sound ugly! lol
Excuse me? This sounds like the things used to make the Fallout 4 soundtrack, which was absolute fantastic.
This would go good in a Tim Burton movie
