When he watches the horror movies, he will not to watch the stories, instead, he will busy to guess what probably instrument that be used in the movie... 🤣
This instrument is officially my utmost favorite already. It's awesome to think such a whack-looking thing could make such amazingly effective sounds you'd think would belong to the sound of two metal bars or some shit scraping together.
It's crazy how the sounds produced at 2:30 can sound so human-like. Some parts actually sound like someone crying and whimpering in pain, especially towards the end of that segment
How can an instrument like this create so many sounds is what fascinates me. I can see or hear some of the sounds being used in movies to be fair. This is oddly satisfying to listen to.
Everything between 2:24 and 3:00 gave me chills. Just imagine right at 2:40 a silhouette of what looks like a person rises up behind you, but still at a bit of a distance away from you. Then at 2:37 it's standing directly behind you, so close that you can feel it's breath on your neck. Spooky stuff.
It's round midnight, thought I would watch one last video before I take a pee and finally go to sleep. Now I don't freakin' dare to go to the damn toilet.
The long drone strings could probably be used to play melodies with a slide, either with the ebow or just by plucking them. It wouldn't be easy, but with overdubs or looping you could construct basically anything.
Those suspended metal rods and bars are awesome! You can do some great stuff with that! And I like the hurdy-gurdy style spinning wheel for the strings. Although, everything is great. The Ebow stuff is also worth mentioning, that has a real weight to it.
This thing is so good at producing these grating, unsettling sound textures, but then the guy playing it has this uncanny ability to just pop a little crescendo in there that sounds like a distorted inhuman scream
Great instrument ! It can produce so many different sounds ! I found your video because I'm trying to build something quite similar (and close to Folktek's instruments too). I see a "guitar mic" under the strings, but how do you capture the sounds of the metal rulers ? With piezo microphones ? Would you agree to make a video explaining how it is built ? Thank you very much, Thibault

Hi Thibault. I use one multi pad K&K contact pickups. I don't know how many contacts, since I didn't build it. You can check out www.apprehensionengine.com if you'd like to contact the builder Tony Duggan-Smith. Also, there is www.markkorven.com/Apprehension_Engine.html if you want to see some more recent videos.
As terrifying and amazing as this is, did anybody else expect the halo 2 bungie intro when he was messing around with the electric guitar-ish mechanism?
After stumbling across this vid during lockdown, was inspired to build my own. Even thou it evolved into a different (more percussive) type of instrument I must thank you for the spark.
the re-verb Tank creates some Awesome effects. I had one when I was in my early teens, and when I got bored with just the echo voice effect through a mic, I started messing around with plunking and rubbing the springs. the tank had a small Vac. Tube Pre-Amp. which I fed its output into a Vac. Tube power amp I had for a turn-table. But I never thought of mounting the tank to a box and adding all the other things to your device is like a electronic version of the water harps they used in Old horror movies from the 60's, 70's. but I think it does a lot more effects then they did. Awesome Vid Man, Thanks :)
what i find amazing is that someone thought to use sounds like these to evoke fear and applied it to films successfully. so successfully in fact that there's now an instrument for it. people amaze me
2:20 - 2:59 I love that sound. I liked the sound of the Tripods(War of the Worlds) and Reapers(Mass Effect) and that sounds like it. Like a big Alien machine that is arising out of the ground.
What you do is you finally old abandoned Mill and you get down in a basement or somewhere where you can hide and put cameras everywhere where you can get video of unexpected victims who come into building and then start playing some of this crazy music and get it on video.
Before circuit bending, there was... Apprehension Tell you what, I wouldn't have been so apprehensive about going to shop class had we been building these magnificent contraptions.
This is what I call the appropriate use of avant-garde. It's not different for its own sake, like a lot of advant-garde is. When something is different for its own sake, then it's really just a gimmick. But this actually serves a specific purpose that cannot be achieved through conventional means. In this case creating a sound score that doesn't sound natural.
Listening to this with really good headphones and omg. The Callisto Protocol is supposedly using this machine for the music in the game and if that's the case it may actually be the horrifying game I've been searching for so long.
It was constructed for a single purpose as practically as possible under the circumstances and everything had to playable and adjustable. Inspiration came about from what was possible in a very short amount of time! As far as inspiration goes, sound sources that can be manipulated expressively by a 'player' are paramount so that the player has room to explore.
Imagine producing this sound in an urban cityscape via multiple connections to speakers with the volume dial at its max. Has the potential to be a fun little social experiment to test emotional response when exposed to such an eerily unnatural sound. This instrument is a total breach of conventional ambience and its ingenious in that respect. 👊
Im gonna play this in our garage, in the middle of the night, when kids still roam the streets. I would scare the crap out of those kids.

Damn psychopath, okay.
Then you, my friend, are my kind of person
Not at all.
Music is a compilation of sounds that evoke an experience.
When resorted solely strict, trite systems, it is no longer music.
no, music is subjective, I finds these sounds very pleasing as well..but I also like harsh noise blasting through my eardrums so yeah that's that
He would be probably the only guy that's not gonna be scared to any horror movies

who knows...
I’m guessing you haven’t realized yet that all the ‘scary’ moments in horror movies happen when the music/sounds stop and it’s suddenly quiet..
This instrument is officially my utmost favorite already. It's awesome to think such a whack-looking thing could make such amazingly effective sounds you'd think would belong to the sound of two metal bars or some shit scraping together.
very interesting, i would have thought they'd gone all digital with these types of sounds

It just sounds like a distorted electric guitar...
Sounded like the start of a doom sound track
It's called an ebow. People use it on guitars, usually.
With the right sound you can summon Cthulu

Wonderful! Incredible SFX from an analog machine. Much easier, actually, than making them digitally.
Well, mostly, kinda. It is certainly being run thru a digital or software based reverb. 🙂 Which I love.
But *why* does music like this work so...effectively? What makes it so horrifying?
Hi Vsauce, Michael here!
(The answer you're looking for is on his channel)
Science
Ambiguity. You know its music, but you know its no music any sane person would make.
Vvibration and frequency
Discord,sustain and shitloads of reverb
I think the echo effect is what makes it truly horrified.
This is insane. Lots of effects, but the sounds are unreal
Interesting that you say "insane". Before we decided on "The Apprehension Engine", Tony wanted to name it "The Insanerator"!
"Unreal" is an understatement. How about "inhuman"?

this is all over the hannibal series ost. glad to finally know what makes that amazingly spooky sound!
This should be on a loop, so we can all listen to it while sleeping.
Imagine if you could get discernible notes out of this! I want someone to play lavender town's theme with one of these
You can with harmonics.......but it's nasty!

Having great songs in a horror movie is fine but a great score is what gets you there. Your work is *really* atmospheric!
How many of u come here after sushin shyam interview?
😃
😅
I too came
People who make these sounds during movies are called "Foley Artists". That machine is so cool.
I don't really think of it as a musical instrument per se. It really is a musical foley machine.
its like a kalimba and a violin had a child
and the child was terrifying
edit: and then that child had a child with a hurdy-gurdy
They then make a band with a theramin and a waterphone, and sleep is cured!
