This thing feels like it would be used in a score to signal otherworldly mystery. The sound it makes is strange, ethereal. It'd be perfect for space things or something from Cyan Interactive.
remarkably clear and not at all what I was expecting Glass to sound like. used in this way. the tone is haunting. It would have been interesting to hear a more complex piece than what was played.
Awesome! My brain was getting confused, however, because I think the video footage beginning at 1:19 seems to be just enough out-of-sync with the audio that it gives the impression that the lower notes are on the right and the higher notes are on the left.
Very cool! Just curious if your mounting system was inspired by the Tonflot marimba. It looks like weather strip with bungee cord stretched on top and maybe a little "booger" glue on each key. If so, I'm incredibly proud and honored. If not, great minds think alike :) Excellent work!
I wonder what if one attached a mallet to each finnger, wouldn't that make it possible to play all these glockenspiel-like instruments ten-fingered, like the piano?
Pour le calcul d'une note, utilisez la formule : X = 2 ^ ( n / 31 ) n est le degré de la note entre 1 et 31 X est le rapport de fréquence entre la fondamentale et la note recherchée Je ne sais pas s'il y a des correspondances avec les notes naturelles, multiple d'un son fondamental ? Notamment pour les multiples 5, 7, 11, etc, qui n'ont pas de correspondance convainquante par rapport au système à tempérament égal de 12 sons ?
Beautiful! Subscribed! Will look for more works by Mr. Roark on his wonderful instrument. And looking forward to all the exciting looking videos at Redshift. But I admit I was also fascinated by the other wonderful glass in the room -- that incredible leaded glass window behind the players. Can you give us any info on where this was filmed so I can hopefully research how to see that wonderful window?
31 pitches per octave is certainly a lot more normal-sounding than 15 such as used in the Mizarian Porcupine Overture. Still distinct, but a lot less 'greah what is going on here?'
Guitar is great for microtones, as you can move the frets around. An entire microtonal piano would be an ordeal to make. If you want a microtonal keyboard instrument you'll probably need to make it yourself.
There is a piano developed to play in quarter tones ( specially for middle eastern music)with an adjustable keyboard system. Don’t remember the name though
@@nab626 The term 'quarter tones' confuses the issue - unless you really mean 12-tone equal temperament semitones equally cut in half - which gets you nowhere much. Middle eastern music doesn't use such intervals because it doesn't use 12-tone equal temperament to start with. There are many scales using microtones that produce much more listenable music than 12-tet 'quarter tones'. The tones in the tuning used here are roughly third tones - but only roughly - and there are 31 equal divisions to the octave (hence the name 31-tet) The resulting scale, as well as producing usable harmonic microtones, also produces semi-tones and whole tones that are acoustically, harmonically more accurate than those on a piano tuned to 12-tone equal temperament. Anyone interested in hearing a piano tuned to Just Intonation (not 31-tet but more accurate than 12-tet as long as you don't play in harmonically distant keys) should check out the music of Michael Harrison.
The Instrument is amazing. But why give it a bazillion notes to just play on like ten of them? That feels like a waste of time and space. I hope there will be more complex compositions following that show more of the obvious potential of this amazing artwork of an instrument.
...well, I started jazz-whistling a meander to your song here soon after you started playin'...us tuned in, stayed there, playin' away...big pleasure...yp...thank you and band for that impact, be well, all!...
You can get a tongue drum such as Rav Vast and play it with mallets or even with bare hands. It's awesome and made me very happy during the lockdowns! Check G Pygmy and B Kurd scales, they're most popular and fit a large variety of music.
All the prep. to make a sound and it doesn't work for me there's crystal glass that has a much better sound maybe you shoulded pound on it and play it with you finger tip's or play it in a Crystal Cave.
I'm sorry.......I found more interest in watching them ASSEMBLE the thing than listening to the....music. I guess this is where artistic license/interpretation comes into play. 🤔
Somehow I have the feeling that this majestic instrument has a plethora of fascinating possibilities beyond a few chord repetitions.
ua-cam.com/video/7Z6upBD6gKQ/v-deo.html
Certainly _no less_ than a plethora, I would have to agree.
Homage to Phillip Glass
@@MendTheWorldI concur, a plethora at minimum. We may even be talking about a cornucopia.
You'd have to ask Eric Whitacre and Vaclav Nelhybel lmao
Great tones! I’d call it a Crystralumapercussatonaphone, but only when it wasn’t looking.
My tongue broke.
😂
I'd like to hear a cover of Swordfishtrombones on a Crystralumapercussatonaphone.

i was just thinking, this sounds straight out of riven!
What a unique and haunting instrument! The world needs more of this! I hope it was preserved somewhere so that it can be played again!!
Glad to see the spirit of Harry Partch live on. Thanks to you Ol' Harry is still ridin' the rails!
It’s very Philip Glass( no pun intended) but I love the sounds.
People who say "no pun intended" are cowards. Intend your puns, weaklings.
@@HokoraYinphine You have to say "no pun intended" or your audience will miss your witty humor.
in all seriousness, I completely agree.
Phil would love this.
Be a man. Own your puns!
I get more of a Steve Reich vibe
The sound of slowly but surely descending into madness, of when you're starting to question what's real and what's not
ayo why's this description so on point, exact vibes I've been getting too
Real? What does that even mean?!
remarkably clear and not at all what I was expecting Glass to sound like. used in this way. the tone is haunting. It would have been interesting to hear a more complex piece than what was played.
Is it an old Arts umbrella building at Grenville Island, Vancouver, BC (currently Ballet BC)?
After they put that thing together, they got super high and had lots of fun.
Elegant design and sound so sublime! If only a new building could look and sound like this... Imagine that!
omg coming from 43 this really bends your ears in strange ways
Coming from 43... equal divisions of the octave? How so? They both behave rather similarly when playing meantone-inspired music
Maybe they meant their age?
How are 43 and 31 EDO both meantone? can you suggest some further reading for a noob?
Eamon Bohan yeah he ment his age.
This was fascinating... definitely stretched the auditory limits... pretty in a scary way!
Gen Z, the generation afraid of everything
@@ThomasistheTwin this is immediately one of the dumbest comments i've ever read
Where do they grow those giant olives for the end of the sticks?
Spain.
@@DrRiq lol
Beautiful instrument, expertly played, but the piece sounds like watching a test pattern on old broadcast TV.
That’s a beautiful instrument ,and the sound wooow
This is beautiful, now one made out of ice please :-)
Thanks so much for sharing this, and best wishes for your future success ✌️
This is lovely.I would also buy the Glass on glass album. 😉
Headbending. Just lovely.
Looks like another instrument Joe Porter needs to add to his collection. He’s a got an aquarion and a crystallophone.
I'm not really a big microtonal person myself, but I like this.
For a marimba it sounds so hollow and I love it.
I think UA-cam recommended this to me because of all the Baldur’s Gate 3 stuff I’ve been watching. I’m not complaining though.
Beautiful stuff
Amazing tone, or is it just psychological, the suggestion of glass?
This reminds me a lot of some of the pieces in the Land of the Lustrous soundtrack
Glad to hear 1 minute of how it sounds
Man, some of those intervals and chords feel incredibly itchy.
This is interesting, but I don't think the music played really showed off its microtonal possibilities very well.
Good job on making that instrument! They all sounds exactly the same!
A very beautiful and well sounding instrument indeed!
SO BEAUTIFUL!
A remake of the Forest Temple theme from Zelda OOT would be awesome on this!
Oh you guys are reading music! 😊
This is beautiful
Seriously, amazing piece
Could be used for a ringtone I feel.
Gorgeous sound and look 👍
That was so beautiful, thank you!
Awesome! My brain was getting confused, however, because I think the video footage beginning at 1:19 seems to be just enough out-of-sync with the audio that it gives the impression that the lower notes are on the right and the higher notes are on the left.
This is so pretty
Is this the full piece? Is a longer recording available anywhere? So soothing! Poor Minotaur.
It's literal Phillip Glass
That's hypnotic

Cool. It's like Harry Partch meets Terry Riley.
in the thumbnai lt his looked to me like a miniature olympic swimming pool.
Well, I know what I'm asking Santa for this year.
I’m guessing he’s now broke
One crack and it's over
Can you play us some tunes on this amazing looking, and sounding instrument, please? Something that we can hum along to?
You should make one for Philip Glass
Cool! 👏👏👏
I wonder if the sheet music uses an A-G scale with microtonal accidentals/key signature.
This is awesome!
Super awesome, but please, GET JAZZY, GET FUNKY !!!!!!!!!!!
I am inclined to listen to this with headphones. But, that is just me...
I wonder what if one attached a mallet to each finnger, wouldn't that make it possible to play all these glockenspiel-like instruments ten-fingered, like the piano?
exquisite 😭
This is cool
So lovely
This is mesmerizing to the point of making me drift off to dreamland lol. Are there any other works written for it with a bit more grit and flare?
It would be interesting to hear someone play music on it.
Nice! Let's turn some jazz musicians loose on it.

Fascinating instrument, the composition, not so much.
I'd be curious of watching a sheet for this instrument.

Very soothing sound ❤️❤️❤️
I love it really😊

The tonality does *insane* things to my brain...is it simply a result of living in a western modal world, or a function of the notes themselves?
Are there other acoustic microtonal instruments? Like a piano? Where could I get something like this?

woahhh eeriiee . like a ufo vist in the night forest
The look of this, as well as the project name, make me think of Stargate Atlantis...
This is better than the warbling chorus crescendo from 2001: a Space Odyssey.
How about a duet with a glass harmonica ?
For anyone w Android, there's an Application where you can make well tempered scales from 2 to 51 notes per octave.
Full performance??😢
I'm picking up what the algorithm is laying down

If only I could play this! I have t played any mallet instrument in so long because of Corona

А мелодия будет?)
Same Instrument at heart, different Principals at play.
Sounds like something I'd hear in Warframe
That instrument is crying for some Zelda covers to be played on it.
Totally amazing! 🎉
Attention au triple forte ! Je serai à leur place, je mettrai des lunettes de protection !

How are the glass pieces held in place?
I don’t know if anyone else asked, but how long did it take to set that up?
