This is grossly underappreciated
So the Electronicos Fantasticos guy is also in Open Reel Ensamble? The more I learn about this dude the more he becomes my hero.
Oh, it is the same guy, is it? I thought it might be, but I wasn't 100% sure.
Oh my god
Yes
That makes it even sadder in a way :(
Like I thought it was just inspired by them and that would be pretty cool like woah the absurd electronic music thing is spreading and all that but that doesn't seem to be the case ;(
@@lemone12 it is (kinda). them playing with Zuttomayo live and being featured with solo sections and acane playing the fan harp puts them in a big highlight and it's truly one of my favorite parts of every show
The 70s are back :-D. Great idea in the digital age to put some analog to it.
It must be so nice for these three to have found one another and share their love for music
I love it for the instruments. The music is just a bonus
for me the spectacle of the instruments works because the music hits hard
I like that "PYOOOOO, WOWOWOWOWONG, HNGYAAAGN" is translated collectively as "weird sounds"
This ultraoriginal trio *must be in Lollapalooza or Coachella* , must be showed to the entire world.
Interesting and innovative, and maybe they'll incorporate a Mellotron into their reel to reel tape act.
MELLOTRON !!
magnetic punk for the WIN!
this might be one of the greatest things i've ever heard
That's super clever! It was impossible not to groove along.
Very similar to the old mellotrons in sound and theory. Love love love the
genius work here.
M A G U N E T I K U P A N U K U - my new fav genre
Panku*
instead of using the “ヌ” (nu) katakana, we can instead use “ン” (n) to represent the “n” sound in the English word “punk”. Therefore the romaji equivalent would simply be “panku”
I love that reel-to-reel accordion.
Does anybody else find it funny that the one drummer guy still has the personality of a drum kit drummer. He's funny he's got jokes little quirky high energy
That's Ei-Wada of Electronicos Fantasticos. He does some beautiful stuff with other DIY instruments you should check out.
@@michaelgeary9370 i will thank you!
An interesting evolution. Check out Robert Fripp demonstrating Frippertronics.
At 5:00 it sounded like a song from the earthbound OST for a bit there. Really neat!
Pioneer RT-1011l such a great deck an awesome talent these guys are. Well done !
A style of instrument that can make super happy music, but could also make some of the best horror music as well. :D LOVE IT! I am a Magnetic Punk!
the world just got better.
Emulate some bits of Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Yellow Magic Orchestra, even earlier pioneers too.
absolutely amazing
FANTASTIC!
"U drive me crazy.." So much
Great stuff
so great, how do they not break the tape drumming on it??
So cool
Dope!!
They could make such amazing anime intro songs 😂
I think the one guy on the reel keyboard plays the fan harp in Electronicos fantasticos
Magneticpunk is cool
I used to play with Tascams and the like. Oh and the Nagra. Holy hell I _love_ the Nagra! Anyway if you run the thing on record, and open the mike on the mixer _eeever_ so slightly, you get the world's most lovely feedback echo.
Epic Stuff!🔥
yall found like 20 different ways to basically play a trippy ass violin without a violin! thats fucking dope.
Superbe exploration musicale !
what is it that makes us so crazy about tape?
ei wada the man behind crtelecaster
Amazing
Get em on the next Safdie brothers film
Dancers on the tape reel manipulating it = Epic brilliant
Genial 🎉
Anyone know the song at 5:30? The build is beautiful.
it 50 more years, the technology to reproduce this music will no longer exist. Enjoy it while you can. This is old fashioned innovation at its finest.
so the keyboards control the tape reels like a mellotron?
no not realy, the tape is recording the keyboard and what you hear is the recorded sound, wich he can play with once it's on tape a few milisecons after
@@baddriddimworkshop That makes no sense. If it is a combined read/write head, then the recording action will couple to the read head and they wouldn't get the effects from manipulating the tape. If the read/write action is done by the same coil, then it is directly coupled.
If it is separate heads, you'd have too much time-lag between them.
I'm not saying it is impossible, but, for what you are saying to be possible, you'd need to carefully and precisely interlace recording and playback, and do some interpolation in between sample points on the tape. However, that requires exact timing, and with the chaotic motions the artists are making with the tape, it seems to be a very difficult thing to pull off and keep the sound intact. Especially with that type of equipment.
I think it is much like the mellotron. They even explain as much in the video. The tapes have more tracks, and they might have gotten hold of heads with more tracks. They seem to be keeping things relatively analogue on the tape side.
Though, it is certainly possible to use a digital time-code track to use digital samples on a computer, much like DJ's using time-coded vinyl to play them continent mp3's. That decouples the whole physical aspect into a one way input to the computer to interpret and playback. But then the tapes are just time-coded digitally and the rest is happening digitally. I doubt that to be the case.
@@asbjo the units these guys use are all top shelf bro, these are three head machines. a quarter second is enough. and if you manipulate the tape during recording what comes in will ccome out anyhow. I know what i'm talking about, i own a tascam 38 myself and i have modded tape machines in the past. please go take a look at my channel...
@@baddriddimworkshop I didn’t mean any disrespect. And yea. What comes in comes out again. But your hypothesis about them interleaving recording and playback on a millisecond basis, still makes little sense. I’m gonna give an example. Assuming no crosstalk or any issues with timing or technical challenges:
If the tape is at x speed, accelerating towards speed y and you record a sample point, and play it back a millisecond, or a few, later during this acceleration, the output would be near enough the same as the input, as the change in tapespeed between recording and playback is negligible in such small timescales.
I’m sure they do a lot of recording on the fly. I’m also speculating that they use some of their tape manipulation to “simply” modulate/change sound in other sound sources. Like when they use keyboards to play notes. I am wondering how they achieve the modulation they do, as sometimes it seems they are using more notes than I would think is feasible to fit on the tapes.
Btw, I also own a Revox A-77 from 1970.
@@asbjo yes ,i'm talking about manipulating the keyboards sound if it's recording and sound is coming out of play head at the same time and you speed up the reel , it will be speeded up while recording and also speeded up at playback so the actual speeded up sound you hear will be twice as fast as what he is doing to the reel, unles he stopes moving the reel before the sound hits the play head(in that case it wont be doubled), if that makes sens. i didnt take it as disrespect man, it's just that i'm used to these things. no worrys
WOW! I'm thoroughly impressed...You guys seem to favor the PIONEER RT-1011L/1020L machine. Is there
A technical reason for this or did you just have them lying around? I have a bunch of reel decks and you all
have given me some inspiration on how to use a few of them,I promise that I won't be copying you but this is ALL your idea and I can't wait.... THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!
More than punk, seventy psychedelic freedom culture mixed with 90' freedom culture electro-beat (without shit addiction)
These guys need to get a hold of a mellotron
are there records? I want to buy this music!
Japan in one word ))
Quality entertainment

At 0:35 I learned “spice” in Japanese is “spice”
hi do a re work on the tascam 38 of the main logic pcb it was bad and could not be fix so a dip the pcb and got all the parts of the pcb
and i started to re make note the power ic's that deal with the motor s were all right i going to post a video this year i know i will get a alot of mail
the logic to make the motor turn is 2v to 5v the more tenson the more volt don't go over 5's you kill the power ic's
how i have a tascam 38 that can spool tape like a pro deck a knob just to move the tape in play back in low tenson rew mode
so it easy to do alot more things
The Mellotron-Kaizer
👽👍
I love you crazy bastards so much. If you want some old US inspiration listen to late 60’s group United States Of America. They made one album on Columbia in ‘68, but it’s gold

We need kind and creative techies running things not er what we have.
かっけ〜
Howwww only 78 comments?!!
These guys need to make techno. Germany would shit itself

Magnetism has everything to do with music

You can do the same with vinyl why waste good hard to find tape. Not cool
how are those 3 young men not fluent in English? They must live in deep corners in Japan where they dont get much exposure to western media/content.
The number of people who speak English well is actually very low in Japan (which in turn leads to really poor educational materials being used in schools, as there is little to no involvement from people who are fluent enough in both English and Japanese to catch the errors) and most films and other media that gets imported is dubbed, so it's not all that surprising that they wouldn't be confident enough to take the interview in English.
@@casanovafunkenstein5090 fiugering then its mostly the elite who go to private schools were its taught as a dual language or take personal effort to refine thier English
