If you're new here, my name is Andrew Huang and I'm a musician who works with many genres and many instruments - and I've also made music with many things that aren't instruments like balloons, pants, water, and dentist equipment. For more info visit my website: andrewhuang.com
You can also stream and download my 40+ albums and EPs at andrewhuang.bandcamp.com or check out my other videos at / andrewhuang
Thanks for watching today and a big hug to you if you share this video with someone!
Making a brain sample pack! Gonna do an open-call 4 Producers episode with it! Join my mailing list if you want to be notified for that: andrewhuang.com/#signup
Hey Andrew, I'm an autistic musician that would love to share some stuff with you! "Everyone-else Moved On" on all platforms!
you should get Galen Tipton (the brainscratch queen) on the 4 producers ep with the brain sample pack!!!
SO STAR TREK EH
What a blast of a time! Thanks again. Glad we got all our "calm" "energy" "out"
I would be honored to participate. I’ve been dreaming of making music with my brainwaves since I was a child. I use heart rate monitors, thermal and moisture sensors, blood pressure monitors, and more to compose music. I don’t have access to these EEG monitors which would seal the deal for me. Please please include me in that episode 🙏
Now you have to make a song only using your mind
Sonic Boom gonna go crazy
Imagine needing assistance from your meat sticks
I think that’s happening always
That's just making a song
What other routing options?
Introducing the new math game show "Minus 75"
That's numberwang!
5:04 Andrew hopping into the rap beef game 🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒
I immediately came to the comments to see if anyone else mentioned this. Cheeky little jab for sure
Fuck the Big 3, its just Tracklib
I was literally about to comment a sarcastic joke that "The Kendrick v Drake beef was manufactured to make this sponsor pop" 😂
brainwaves (alpha, beta, etc) are defined by their frequency ranges so I would assume the vertical axis of the graph is amplitude, not frequency. The colors/names are frequency and they get more or less intense (amplitude) over time.
EDIT: I saw that is says "dB" now on the graph, so indeed, it's amplitude in decibels.
My brain isn't braining anymore
lol i just wrote a whole explanation then saw this
If literally any other human on the planet did this I'd be like "WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK" but when I saw this I was like "Oh nice new Andrew vid."
Gotta respect andrew
The day I can just imagine the song in my head directly into a DAW will be so awesome
This was an absolutely WACKY session! This was so much fun to work on and be apart of!! 😂😂
How many Shakira's is optimal for healthy brain activity?
@@gitsurfer27 a shakadakadaka amount of Shakiras 😂
"You use your brain to control musical things." Well, so do we all, indirectly.
I love how instant it is. You can literally HEAR Andrew's mood shift as he talks.
Tracklib used by Drake, Kendrick Lamar and J Cole? What an interesting selection of artists
Why? I don't follow the music industry.
@@607something J Cole said months ago lead to Drake and Kendrick having a beef. Beefs are common in rap, what makes it not normal is Kendrick saying Drake is/associates with pedophiles and allegedly participates in sex trafficking. Basically trying to nuke Drake's career. Not a small claim to make, but stuff like the video of Drake kissing a 17 year old *after* she says her age doesn't exactly help him.
@@MatthewPherigo Ah, right, I remember hearing about that! I didn't recognise the names though. Thanks!
I almost feel you should've just cut to black and ended the video at "AAAAAAA I'M DOING MY TAXES AAAAAA!" 😄
I really hope we get a season of Sonic Boom with guest collaborators that join you and Rob and Maylee is one of them.
holy shit this is insane! i cant even imagine the videos Andrew gonna release in the year 2030 lol
8:27 This kinda music would fit perfect into the altenative music festival called Safe As Milk, which run in Haugesund, Norway in the late 90´s!
Well that was definitely interesting - I wonder, if you wired different waves into different things like maybe have 2 waves controlling pitch, one on a bass scale & another mid-range and have the other waves controlling other things, that could be a viable instrument you could learn to control. I think it probably depends on having it fairly consistent and practising it regularly. Definitely worth further investigation.
I honestly doubt it's doable. But I would enjoy experimenting with it!
This is awesome to see other Brain wave performers!! I spent my Masters developing a BCMI to do almost the same thing here, with VCV Rack and EMOTIV - Awesome Stuff!!!!!
DAMN Andrew, one of the coolest vids I cam across this week dealing with music controllers :D you kick ass man
This is one of the coolest things I've E V E R seen. Thanks so much Andrew!
Maylee was really funny! You were reading my brainwaves because I was just thinking of doing this a couple days ago!! That was a fun video, just wish it was longer!
ohmygosh I love Maylee! I remember hearing Aerobics In Space on CBC Radio 3!
I love Maylee! She is chaos personified but cerebral but its fabulous 😂. This is SUCH a neat idea!
i love it when you just trying some new thing
I think Andrew met his match! What a crazy amount of energy these two give off!
Crazy video! Loved this
Yes Maylee KILLIN IT AND MAKING ME CRACK UPPPP as usual :*
This episode was mind blowing. Good job
This is so fun ! Great video as always !
I don’t know what I like best, the technology or Andrews outfit
I would love a follow up video where you talk to a nero-scientist and deep dive into how the brain waves are working and interacting with your synth gear! It would be such a fun and nerdy music learning science video! :D
we absolute need this for all the nerds around here 🙏
@@SlyceCaik Welp, I guess Andrew should do it then! I love science of the human body and it'd be a great learning opportunity for us all!
how is maylee SO GREAT! that was amazing.
I love her personality
How much does a brainwave reader cost? I liked the simplicity of that headband, but I have seen consumer-oriented brainwave equipment which has more sensors, which seems like it would be ... better. I'm also dubious about equipment that depends on proprietary software, like I guess that phone app is for this unit. If the company goes out of business, your expensive hardware is suddenly useless. Is their any consumer brainwave reader option that uses open source software?
Oh man, the two of you got my laughing to tears!
Very fun video!
If you find this video interesting, you might be interested also in Benn Jordan's video on using his brain as a synth controller as well. He goes into it a lot of depth about how he uses it. Very different take but super interesting too!
I'm surprised they've never collabed honestly
I thought I was familiar with this concept for some reason
That would be it
love the vid
this engaged me so much xD
"I'm in a padded cell right now talking to a bunch of pillows!" I feel called out.
I really loved their vibe, seems like a blast to hang with. Hack the Planet!
She's an absolute riot! That looked so much fun 😆
this was a cool vid, loved the guest as well!
I am here for this unhinged content! Maylee is rad
If what you ended up achieving is your synth responding to how focused/excited you are, it looks like the end result is to pass the signal through a few filters and make a tune that increases in BPM when you do.
THIS WAS A BLAST OF A TIME!!! THANKS FOR LETTING ME JAM OUT SHAKIRA STYLE!!! You're the best!
don't know if anybody has the answer to this, but what is that guitar at 2:49 (and all throughout the video) that is next to the mandolin?
Oh my god, I think I'm in love. Her energy is intoxicating
such a great video that 10 minutes feels like a 10 minute trial of software and now you want a 30-60 minute long video that feels like you just bought a perpetual license for the current version. mega dope though, and hope there's more of this coming!
This makes me very aware of the effects the thought patterns are having on the body...power of the mind...with the book he wrote, "Make Your Own
Rules."
Señales del cerebro traducidas en música , sonificacion ❤ amo amo amo ❤
This is so cool! I wanted to see more applications.
I would love to see someone do a soundtrack to a video game (like Minecraft) where the base of the songs start with brain wave midi from playing the game. I'm fine with things being manually added to perfect and fine tune the songs that people ultimately hear hundreds of times... but how cool would it be to know that the base of the song came from someone doing something similar to what you're doing. I'm thinking songs that are triggered in certain areas or for certain activities (exploring a jungle, swimming in the ocean, fighting a dragon).
HOLY MF-ING SH*T MAYLEE TODD IN AN ANDREW HUANG VIDEO I AM TEARING UP SO HARD RIGHT NOW, TWO OF MY HEROES COMING TOGETHER
SO BEST SCARY IDEa. ADD mind controlled Motor and AI to increase Command help. LITERALLY YES BAND GUY'S DREAM
Haha Maylee's hilarioius, i love her!
The math part is one of my favourite tracks of all time
😂 so cool and so weird, that was great 👍🏻
so awesome!!!
Sonic Boom-ish idea:
Use this modular patch brainwavealyzer setup but with the output muted, then write a song while recording the (muted) brain-modulated modular synth.
Then get Rob to do the same thing and compare how your brains differ when writing music.
This video was awesome 😂
this has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life
This is such a weird video, I love it
this is so sick
So fun!
The video ending with Andrew screaming "AM I A GOOD FATHERRR??!!?" is a nice touch, I must say!
I cant wait
Congrats on somehow finding a way to make modular even more mad sciencey than it normally is 😂
honestly i'm curious as to what would happen, if rob scallion or sam from look mum no computer, got a hold of a mind reading head band. the end result of that, would be totally chaotic, in the most metal way possible. i would love it, if the hacksmith saw this video, he'd most likely use the thing to pilot a drone or move a large robot.
man. that is cool. amazing things that no one has thought of before. that is using your brain.
That's a lot of fun!
This may have been one of the most chaotic collab videos Andrew has ever done and I love it
Wow I was so happy when I saw this vid 🎉
It'll be great when there's a finer degree of control, this is only 'controlling synths with my brain' on a semantic level. Very cool tech though, it's exciting to think about (no pun intended) how in the future there might be hope for people like me who have grand musical ideas in our brains but aren't able to get it into a format where someone else can hear it.
Sick video! Sick outfit!
that....was gold.
I want one omg
This is the "most chaotic episode I have ever seen. " comment you were looking for.
this was fun
You should check out Perrikeryal, she's been using a higher fidelity EEG to control video games. I could see using that to control a modular synth and generative visuals system
WOW this is awesome 👂
I love this. I'd love songs to be made with brain power.
that is genuinely fucking amazing
Ahaha😂 this is GOLD!
thats dope
ive never been this early on an andrew huang video
Get more channels on that EEG. Also think about getting a magnetic shielded room and try this with a MEG brain scanning device. I am a computer/electrical engineer in the middle of the US that would like to collaborate with something like this.
Maylee was really funny, like her energy was insane. Loved it.
This was so cool.
So how about this: Sonic Boom uses a sample of @RobScallon spinning guitar neck (for background drone sound?). Then control the amount of distortion with that device (and your brain waves or two devices averaging both of your brain waves)?
for anyone wondering what the vertical axis of the graph is (1:53), it is the overall amplitudes of different sections of the brainwave frequency spectrum. in other words, the headset splits your brain activity into many different frequency bands (e.g delta waves are slower), and the average vertical measure of each of those at any given moment are graphed.
but yeah “shakadakadaka” is close enough lmao
What a perfect guest you got there heheheh she seems like an awesome person to be playing around with that!
That was much funnier then I expected :)
This is next level CARNAGE
Ooooh!! This will be interesting
Spoiler: This was interesting.
Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Have a sound in your head"!
That was so much fun!
She was hilarious. Always nice to see someone bring Andrew's insane side out!
where can i get that dress
That was really cool and funny.
I really want to see Andrew making music with MiMU gloves next 🤩🤩🤩
BRO WAS MAKING SOME FREETEK
Let me try to explain what a brain wave is:
You have a whole bunch of neurons in your brain that produce an electric field when they transmit information. The headband measures the total electric field, kind of like the average of all your neuronal activity.
Now sometimes some of the neurons kind of sync up and start firing at the same time, at a constant frequency.
When this happens, we call that a brain wave. Depending on the frequency the brain waves are classified as different Greek letters. And different frequencies and intensities are associated with different activities. A calm, focused brain will produce cleaner brain waves, whereas a distracted brain will produce a whole bunch of uncoordinated activity.
I hope this helps someone :)
