These sound like instruments people in a broken world would make. A dystopia where life has been ruined, but they are trying to grow back, and it starts with music. They don't quite have all the proper materials to make instruments so they made their own, and these are the results. I love it.
had similar thoughts. Like the people who refused to live in the new world metropolitan districts (outcasts) made these because thats what they have to work with. love it aswell
While watching the video, I created a playlist to put this video in. It was named “retaliation”. I love music. I love drums, bass & life; in the astronomically low chance of me actually able to experience life. Thankful forever, this was amazing truely, coming from a 6 year drummer!! 🥁
The name of my project means "music from nowhere", that's how I like to see those instruments, some traditional instruments from a culture that never exists
Being able to "find the music" in each one of these instruments, bringing them all to life with interesting tones, while keeping them all sounding unique, is something really impressive. Your playing made each one of these beautiful
I know these are all just screwing around, but the amount of sound understanding required to make a single one of these experiments work is mindblowing
My good God....the session was absolutely stunning to ears. Beyond Being a flutist, I personally enjoyed the string ones than the wind versions. This person here has ocean depth knowledge upon eastern and western type of music. He is a real gem for the music world.....Wow man.
One of the most creative things I’ve seen in a long while. I particularly appreciate how he figured out what music and style seem to work best with each instrument.
Where there is the will, there is a way. Incredible. What a magnificent orchestra these all together would make. I would love to see and hear that. Much respect to the designer of the instruments.
Wow, that Tin Can Harp is beautiful! And the Tin Can Cymbalum (3:19) sounds *awesome*! I think you should be hired to do music for a western game, similar to Borderlands. Their music sounds similar to some of what I hear in your collection.
I'm. Honestly surprised how close most of these sound to normal folk instruments. Great job! The drone lyre sounds like a Shamisen and as some who is learning the lyre it's exiting!
@@Metal-Possum If it sounds wrong it is played wrong. Simple... If it doesn't sound wrong it is played in a correct way. That how music playing must be taxed. :-) Don't care about scales, trust you ears.
Pink Floyd made an album called "Household Objects", made entirely using household objects as instruments, they found this album way too difficult to finish, and abandoned it half way through, due to them not having good enough sounding instruments to complete it properly. Some of these instruments are good sounding, some sounded terrible, get some local decent musicians, you've got a bass, bicycle slide guitar, tea tray Kyoto, and make an album of pink floyd inspired covers, called "Household Objects Revisited", ? . Instant CZcams smash I think, 'if', the good musicians would put their name to it.
All depends on purpose, some of the ones that sound "terrible" in your opinion make work better for FILM, instead of straight ahead music for casual listening. Even terrible sounds CAN also be put into casual music, all depends on how its used, usually using them as nuanced pieces in the BACKGROUND is best.
My first instrumental injury; 9 years old I built a coffe can drum kit with cymbals cut out from the cans.. got one of the cymbals between 2 of my toes.. Now i´v got coffe and rythm in my blood.. and a scar.
I met this wonderful artist last year"live" during one of his performances! Besides his undeniable artistic qualities, Nicolas is a wonderful person! If you have ever the chance to see/listen to his one man concerts GO!
Now I’ve got this idea of a music store filled with these kinds of instruments. I could absolutely see some legendary artists wanting to try some of these out.
Just WOW! Such talent! You create such amazing instruments! Musicians need to hire you this instant! You could make back up tracks that would propel bands into the stratosphere if they had half the ability you do! Kudos sir!
Thank you for reading that for us. I started that book, but didn't make it very far. I'm inspired now to pick it up again. This is why CZcams is extremely valuable for humanity, despite the outer mantle and crust of toxic nonsense.
Some of these were really nice! My favorite was #67, a combination of wind and string instrument that makes a person able to play together with himself. There could be a two hour version of this video where we could hear more of the possibilities of each instrument.
This is so underrated!! I love the sounds some if those instruments make. And the music you come up with - Captivating 😍 That makes me think... I've got so much junk lying around, maybe I could make a cool sounding instrument out of it :D
I just explored your videos and I must say that these instruments are incredibly beautiful. I am also trying to invent instrument. I consider myself lucky to have found this channel. I really liked your videos. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing the video. I do not know if you have shared the instructions to make them as well... It would be really nice. I see that some of the instruments, the guitar ones, are some recycling guitar necks in most of the cases. Very nice video. Thanks.
Definitely you inspired me to experiment around with pvc pipe flutes! Until know, I made primarily upcycled trash-string-instruments, but this gonna change :D
Unbelievable! Wes Anderson should ask you to do the next sound track! (And i say this as a music composer, who's aspiring that dream, but man you're really way ahead everyone I know ❤)

These LOOK like musical instruments made in a broken world, and I love them.
This is very much what I was thinking. Reminds me of video games set in post-apocalyptic settings, like Left 4 Dead or LISA: the painful.
its like instruments made during an apocalypse like guitars out of milk jugs and stuff

I'm wordless. Each instrument is a ticket to a far place, a new story never heard, an adventure through an unknown culture long in time. 👏
The name of my project means "music from nowhere", that's how I like to see those instruments, some traditional instruments from a culture that never exists
Some of my favorite destinations were:
- Cyber-Medieval battleground
- Toy soldier crowning ceremony
- Alien bayou rocking chair
- Hell
That's a lot of words to be 'wordless'
He has words but doesn't appreciate the words he has.
For being wordless you had a lot of say
You should make a library of synths with all the sounds you have created.
Working on it!
@@NicolasBras Available for Kontakt? Pls 🙏
@@NicolasBras Absolute lovely sounds. Love the pilchard guitar I think it was lol
@@NicolasBras Could you do a leaves from the vines cover (from avatar the last airbender)
These sounds just remind me of that song
@@NicolasBras I would be super interested in that library.
Oh wow! As a composer, I just see a whole new world of colors and possibilities with these instruments. So fascinating!
Number 69, the drone low whistle, is my favorite. I’d like to see a full performance of just that instrument.
Same, reminded me of the intro to The Mandalorian
Nice
I like 69 one too😂😂😂😂iykwim
Canyon flute, F major
I wish we could get longer videos on all of these instruments! I wanna hear each one played to its fullest extent!
I had to constantly remind myself that I had already liked the video
Same here!
Thanks for reminding me

You know, in one sense, all instruments were homemade until they were standardized. I bet it was a lot of this kind of stuff. Awesome!!

A fun game i like to play is closing my eyes and trying to imagine what the instrument looks like XD
That ironing board guitar is nuts (0:41)
And sounds arabian

Some of the most genuinely crisp and beautiful sounds I've ever heard in my life. Thank you for this.
The ironing board guitar sounded amazing
*why do I smell Indian music?*
As a double bassist this is extremely impressive that it sounds the exact same 3:16
so many of these sound actually beautiful! I'm mostly in shock that you managed to make them all, and that you can actually play them all.
Thanks!
A lot of these have a a really traditional and folksy vibe and sound to them. Absolutely love it
I am blown away.. Some of these sound really good!

As a flutist who loves experimental music, this is the best thing I’ve seen in ages! 😮❤
I smiled from ear to ear during this vid. You don't understand how much joy I got from your inventions and passion!
Thanks!

He's cheating though. If you invent your own instruments like this, nobody can prove that you're playing it wrong.

72, I'm guessing.

Great statement I totally agree
Cocorosie made their first album with pretty much nothing and it s one of the most beautiful things I ever heard.
The Harmonic Ball is just bananas!
Great awesome work, Nicolas!
I'm glad this is resurfacing YT right now!
The Harmonic Ball dictates my day-to-day life now.

If the apocalypse comes, please, nobody kill this guy. We will still have musik
I was thinking that!
All you need is more ppl who can play your extraordinary instruments and make a music piece! 👍🏻
2:48 Cool sound.Please, make 10 hours video.
There is a loop by chapter function
i feel like many of these could change the world in the right hands
It’s crazy because a ton of sounds are so goofy and then all of a sudden I got reminded of when she left me at 6:14
:(
I’m not sure why this video doesn’t have more views because there is so much talent going on rn. And more people NEED to see this!!
05:03 we need this
05:44 and this one
06:01 and this
02:57 ummm yep, u just cool sir
Thanks!
This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. You are a true artist 🎶
Thanks!
Everything is the work of a genius!
It's just one word, awesome! It's fantastic!
The Ironing Board Guitar is incredible, what a sound!
Thanks, very fun to play!
I think it takes a special type of brilliance to invent instruments like this
6:25 When that heavy truck passes you by the road
Bravo! 🌟 Chapeau bas Monsieur "Géo Trouvetout" ! 😉

The level of your creativity is truly mind blowing!
You have created a library of awesome instruments that would fit perfectly into a dystopian sci-fi setting. It would be cool to see these in one
Now I’ve got this idea of a music store filled with these kinds of instruments. I could absolutely see some legendary artists wanting to try some of these out.
1:42 was almost sweet child o' mine and i got really upset for a quarter of a second
Beats me 4:22 sounds like peppa pig theme tune
There is smart, there is brilliant there is genius and then there is this level .... I salute you.

Drone low whistle sounds good, like a Native American flute.

1:09 I certainly wasn't expecting a guitar made out of two tins of duck confit to go that hard but I approve 😂
Me: this is so creative
My gf: are u changing ur ringtone
Incredible... And this is before the quarantine...
"How many different instruments can you play?"
Yes.
I would LOVE to hear some full songs with these! They’d be great ambiance for… really any game.

Literally post-apocalyptic instruments right here.
Also, the ironing board made me go 😳
PDQ Bach would be so proud of all you've invented....
These honestly look like they belong in a museum
3:08 - #34 looks like something a Who in Whoville would have. N’est-ce pas?
You need to do soundtracks to movies. Virtuoso would be an understatement here.
Wtf I thought you were playing the theme of project winter with the 40-flycase guitar(3:31) for a sec 😮
40 is the instrument number
Nice to know there's still genius and creative people outhere who still make things
