I listened to it twice. To my ears it's sound like a tune that being played backward. Think of riding a carousel, and suddenly, they wind everything in reverse. Merely an observation 🎠
It's a shame UA-cam doesn't seem to have an option to play a video in reverse. I don't know if there's a currently existing VSP with this feature, but I think it would be useful for some cases
I checked a 30 sec part in Audacity. No, it's not smth recognizable and sounds very bad, as every single sound rings back too and this is a nightmare. Ofc there will be no such effect if really spinning the disk back but no, it's not a reverted melody anyway.
@@orisphera it wouldnt work that way if its backwards, it's the disc thats backwards, not the song. Playing the song backwards would give u other kind of strange psychodelic tune
One of the best things about this video is that it will introduce a good number of people to disc music boxes. I have known of them since about 1970. Wonderful sounds.
I haven’t seen one of these in ages. I have a few music boxes with a barrel roll type, but I haven’t seen a disc since the 1980’s. How cool this popped up.
This is defo gonna be one of those videos that gets randomly recommended in 15 years for absolutely no reason 06/01/25 1.8K likes: Yo this comment has blown up, thanks for all the likes
it's a pretty tune, I bet there's one person who could find the answer. My boyfriend. He knows so many obscure and forgotten songs from the 19th century. He used to be obsessed with wax cylinder records. I showed it to him and so far he said it sounds like And The Band Played On but even more like King Cotton March, but that neither quite match it.
This reminds me of my grandparents' front room. They had one of these but it was in an upright cabinet. We would put an old penny in a slot and watch and listened fascinated as the dics slowly revolved and the tune played. We would then retrieve the penny from the drawer at the bottom and starte it all over again. Thank you.
Some person spent a substantial amount of their life building that. I don’t know the song, but it’s a priceless piece of history and humanity for that reason alone.
Humans are so strange but awesome at the same time.... Like I wonder what led some dude or chick to stab a thin piece of metal and thought "This is gonna make a banger song, I just need to setup some pins and get it to spin in a circle"
@@zyxw2000 I know that much, just odd how some things came to be. Especially since it was probably something accidentally discovered, like pirates with their rum bottles humming in the wind at different tones making drunk songs.
These discs used to be mass made and sold. This music player is probably an Olympia from the late 1800s. These could also be played on the Polyphon Music Box large disc changers. Which were the original multi-disc changers and were effectively a very early jukebox.
Honestly a little shocked about the lack of comments talking about how eerie it is. Or at least, to me it is. It sounds beautiful but off at the same time, like a facade.
My Aunt Mae had a Regina music box like this one. I Loved playing it growing up and remember this very tune but not the title. Kind Thanks for this memory! Merry Christmas! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
I've never really been fascinated with a lot of today's technology, such as the smart speaker, which is something I've never even used, yet I find things like this very interesting.
For those people saying the music is A box of music by Animus the fox, it's not. The artist just took the audio from this video and put it in his music months after this video was released.
I curiously clicked this video after watching the live performance of "Forever" by the band Kamelot, and the singer Roy credits Edvard Grieg's "Solveig's song" for the melody. A Norwegian legend I had to binge on.
Someone up our street in England has something like this. It's upright, has a cupboard underneath holding a selection of discs to play. You wind it up and put an old British penny in the slot to get it to play. It used to be in a pub in Liverpool, a very long time ago, there are circles on top of the cupboard where people rested wet beer glasses. An early version of a pub jukebox, before places had electricity.
Makes me think of Carousel music they even play to this day on history rides in Pennsylvania. Very haunting and eerie. Love it. Definitely following for more content like this.
For anyone commenting Shazam's 'A Box of Music - Animus the Fox' this is not right. It was release just a few days ago and is using a sample from this UA-cam video. Doesn't help finding the right name, unfortunately.
I'm trying to think of how they would mass produce the disks. I realize that "Mass production" meant a lot less numbers back then than now, but they probably made hundreds or thousands, I am (totally) guessing.
I love it!! ❤️❤️ It makes me think of a snowy Christmas time in the 1860s' , a child looking in the window of a toy shop, with this playing in the street on a barrel organ ❤
I love it. It sounds hopeful and fanciful to me. That method of playing music is incredible. Thank you for the perfect Christmas recommendation Mr. algorithm. ❤🎄
Looks just like the Regina mahogany box (22 sq") playing a 15"disk that my Mom had from her father, circa 1900. The tune is 2/4 for the first half, 3/4 (waltz) for the 2nd half, and it's in A (major). Don't know the title. If the print on the front of the disk is wiped out from handling, the info on the back of the disk might still be legible...
Someone in the comments has probably already said this, but... This reminds me of the toy record player with the colorful plastic records. I had one in the early 70s. I think it was Fisher Price?
I so want one of these disk music boxes! It could be one of the simple ones, although I would love to have one of the console ones with the bells, chimes, and whistles/pipe organ.
I had never heard of Polyphon disks before, it's such a cool disk format, and an extremely unique way to "record" audio ! Something like a phonograph, although entirely mechanical, is ultimately still a speaker. The sound is recorded and mechanically translated into the disk, thus forming the grooves, and the phonograph "merely" does the same thing in reverse, amplifying the grooves back into sound. But a Polyphon is manually translated from a music sheet into a pattern to be stamped into the disk, that then drives the mechanism to pluck strings, it is not a speaker, but an instrument. You could write an entire song, and hear it for the very first time through a Polyphon.
Reminds me of the Porter Music box that I would listen to up at Hearst Castle. I bought the Christmas collection on CD and going to listen to it now since it’s the season! 🎉😊
“May Parade”? It’s nostalgic aura is like a portal to the past that didn’t get thrown away. We need history in objects and items, like even though some things are cool now, but the past is precious, that’s why we have memory.💯👍✅
Тоже так думаю. Надо просто найти производителя и углубиться в этом направлении. Мне это лично напоминает мультфильм Анастасия, должно быть это предмет из рубежа 19-20 веков
If you're not aware, the most mysterious song was finally solved about two months ago. Turns out the song was called "Subways of Your Mind," or something like that. There's even an alternate recording of it.

You just turn the disk upside down.

It’s quite interesting how the divots are all the same dimensions despite the inside rotating much slower than the outside.

wait til they dig up the spinning crystal cube music boxes from the 32nd era (before the veta wars)
My mother had one and I have fond memories of playing it as a kid.
My sleep deprived brain misread the year as 1770, and for a split second, i thought you were a vampire 💀
This is incredible - I'm 62 years old and this is the first I have seen of this format of player. beautiful
I was 10 when i saw my first Polyphon. Must be a regional thing
Love the channel btw
hi ya birthday brother :)
Sounds like one of those musical Christmas snow globes tbh
Also kinda gives merry-go-round
Yup, this was the precursor to a music box
Uhm yeah because they are both music boxes that have the same mechanism
Also called carillon

A carousel or merry go 'round at the local fair...
right before a clown appears with chainsaw dripping with intestines
That's because of the instrument, not the song

I can imagine people in the 1800's camping outside the music store and talking about how much of a banger this is.
If I had to guess. It’s probably an original and was never for the masses.
This is really neat!
as usual, I can see the Lostwave community, FNaF community, and The Caretaker community all going crazy over this
It definitely did
This comment is for me when UA-cam recommends it to me again years from now, Merry Christmas future me! =D
Вот такую штуку я слушал вживую. Звук неожиданно очень чистый, громкий и качественный, приятный. Видео не способно это передать.
Да. Вживую всегда звучит намного лучше.
This was an absolute club banger back in 1782
Dropping a comment to remember this by, for when the Lostwave grabs it in a few years.
GREAT!! Now we all have only 3 days left to live 😮
I've been searching for a while now and still haven't found the correct one, but as soon as I know I'll bring it here
It almost sounds French maybe but I'm not sure
I've found a manufacturer who makes custom disks and emailed them as they may know the melody. Someone will find out sooner or later.
I'm searching it too. Not luck with the humming apps so far
@@PADARM I spoke with a custom crafter of these disks and they mentioned it could be two songs on one disk, which explains the silent gap at 0:26
That would also explain the sudden tempo shift
time to put this in an indie game so fifteen years later when youtube recommends this again everyones gonna be like "dude that's ____!!"
A definite time machine, I am really enjoying the music,
