I am currently going through video ideas for a next video. If you have something that doesn't exist yet that you reeeally want to see related to guitar, pianos or maybe even some other instrument. Please let me know in a comment here.
piano where when you press down the key it blows air into a recorder pre-set at that note would be funny
A beatbox with guitar strings on it to give it a boomier sound
A lyre made of human bone with hair strings.
An air instrument that shoots fireballs when blown.
A hurdy gurdy where the wheel is powered by a harley davidson bike.
An ordinary violin with a modified chainsaw as a bow.
Or all of those toguether lol: A violin with hair strings that uses a moded chainsaw as a bow, wich is powered by a harley davidson bike that spits fire 🤘
guitar with a theremin attached. idk how that would work, but theremins are cool and need to be used in more stuff. maybe a theremin guitar that plays notes corresponding to certain frets like an octave pedal?
guitar using wool you spun as strings

The idea of a conservation group rushing to protect a spider was pretty sus. I love spiders but they're the definition of "Least Concern", they reproduce and populate areas in cosmic numbers, you couldn't endanger most spider species in their native habitats if you tried.
Them concerning for an abundant species instead of endangered ones

More than an experimental video, this video was partly also a showcase of the beautiful people in the small towns in Madagascar and i love that
I like seeing reminders that you can go super far from home, meet totally different people, yet some things never change. We see this with cooking programs like Bourdain's, showing how good food or hospitality is a universal thing. This was like that with music. You can go anywhere with a tuned instrument, not speak a word, and make deep connections with people en masse.
The fact they were all so helpful too
Yeah I really loved seeing them! :] I appreciate these people's friendliness
Highlight of the video.
19:02 Sees it, takes it, performs a wonderful song.
Awesome. P.s.: The second dude is also good.
In Madagascar's wild, where tales do unfurl,
A bard sought webs, with a musical whirl.
With a village's aid, his quest was grand,
Each thread a gift from their helping hand.
Together they wove, each string with care,
Crafting a guitar, a treasure rare.
For his gratitude immense, he shared his art,
And they dubbed him Spiderman, with joy in their heart.
I love how curious the locals are and how into it they get. Probably one of those things they'll be talking about for years about that one strange tourist who came and wanted to milk spiders.
They are curious but are also in for the money, can't blame them though!
Maybe they will start making strings themselves now.... 😮😅

Yes! I was looking for a comment like this
I am absolutely amazed at this. Literally at every point of this video I'm like, "There's no way he's being serious. This is obviously a joke." Immediately followed by, "Oh my gosh he's serious." What a huge undertaking. Incredible.
You must be new here. EVERY video Mattias puts out is a (sometimes painful) slow transition from "He can't be serious" to "Oh god he's serious" 😲
I'm so glad that Mattias became an engineer. He could have been a tax accountant, a community organizer, or a non-attorney spokesperson. I especially liked how he faced down the local politicians who tried to make him stop.
"Local politicians" lol Mattias is lucky he didn't get robbed. I was scared for our boy.

Hello from Madagascar.
There are quite a few of these spiders in our neighborhood, they are quite docile and are not particularly dangerous or brutal even if their bite can be very painful. Local people call them "Foniala" (litterally heart of forest) and yeah, their have pretty strong webs
I love to know they are named "Heart of Forest", thank you

- Grandma, grandma, tell us the story about the spiderman!
- Ah yes... that one great stranger. He came out of nowhere. Europe some say, some others say south Africa. We never knew for sure. He asked the people of our lovely village to catch spiders for him. All kinds, big ones, small spiders, any type would do. And he would pay us greatly too! So quickly all the village got buckets full of spiders to the kind stranger. - The elder woman took a moment to breath - You wouldn't guess what he had done with the spiders.
- What did he do grandma?
- He made a guitar string of spider webs! A full guitar string!
- There's no way, a spider string is way too weak to be a guitar string! - One kid said and the others followed. It is true, a spider web breaks with the slightest effort of one's hand, imagine as a guitar string! Simply impossible.
- Yes, but he did it anyway. - The old woman telling the story rested her hands on her lap - He used many spiders and many many webs, the legend say He kindly asked the spider king for the string in exchange of bugs and water!
- And the spider king gave him the web?
- Well but of course. The spider king wasn't a fool like yourself.
- Ewwww no! I don't want bugs, what would I need them for?
- Spiders eat bugs you dummy! - Another kid came in the conversation.
- Yes indeed. Some people say that after everything was over, the great Spiderman went away without saying much more.
- And what did he do with the spiders?
- Oh... you wouldn't like to know. - The old woman stood tall in the front of the children. - Before he went away, some people think that he just - She got close to the kids, talking softly - HE ATE ALL OF THEM! - The old woman screamed and the children went away scared but laughing.
And that was the legend of the great Spiderman.
thanks for reading, I got carried away but it was fun to write it
honestly, this was infact, a beautiful video. the ending where he's showing the villagers what their help accomplished, especially the guy playing ring of fire and the young boy playing what i assume is a native song, its just a beautiful show of culture, and a community coming together over something so small, even if it required one man from somewhere so far. plus, you cant shit on him for the production thing, because hes one guy, not some mass market corporation like Walmart who know the issue of posting that kind of advertisement without intent of such levels of production.
This video was very interesting , Thank you !
I said WOW a fair few times watching this , your ideas to problem solve are amazing

Anyone know the name of the song he was singing?
truly an amaizing adventure you had thanks for sharing this was insane
All outlier projects are awesome. So much learning.
Fun fact that I never had time to say in the video. I did get qoutes from spiderlabs that could do the milking for me during the period of 6 months. They do the exact same process, except not using a bicycle of course. The qoute for a full set of guitar strings (128km of spiderweb if I calculated correctly) was 200 000 USD. Even if this is probably very expensive since it’s niche and targeting science labs, it goes to show just how unique and labor intensive the process is
It's even more impressive if you consider that some mad folks have made a gown/cape from golden orb weaver silk from Madagascar. It's hard to imagine how much labor that must've taken.
I can just see some weird Olympic sport being created where they require spiderweb guitar strings from Madagascar for every competition
Given the attentiveness of the locals, if one were to administrate the process there domestically it looks pretty possible. If they have so much labor readily available, it could be profitable for them if you could train, administer, and distribute.
At the beginning of the video, my first thought was "why tf not try ukulele?" - 4 short strings, less tension... Good proof of concept.
But I'm glad you did come so close to E, I'll count it that you made it!
I think the string was too thick to be an E string on a regular guitar. Probably would have lasted a lot longer as a B or even G string.
If you made it slightly thinner you would have accomplished the E.
Really curious about the math you did on how much web you need for it, but then again, you didn't calculate that Ukulele would have been a more attainable goal, so can't trust your number on the string requirements either, can I? :D
But hey... MASSIVE PROPS for the project. I have a pet tarantula and I'm not letting you anywhere near it, but still... Well done!
That means the string you made was almost $10k!
I was absolutely in shock and incredibly impressed the entire time. My favorite part though was 100% the locals playing the guitar. That moment was just incredible hearing that.

@@joeblankenship377 great now I’m imagining two spiders pointing at each other like the Spider-Man meme
Mattias, this was NOT a waste of time. That spider web string has a unique sound to it. There should be a way to strengthen the spider web somehow either through chemical reaction or the way you weave the individual webs together. This video kept me smiling and engaged.
I’d say he just needed more spiders per string. Or a different method for harvesting.
Its entirely possible since the tensile strength for the web is compared to steel of the same size as said silk web i believe its just a matter of how many spiders can you get to weave it together to make it more durable for playing on
@@unrealsavage9463 Yeah, just needs a lot more spiders. It would also be more helpful if they were using lab bred spiders that they could guarantee the health and diet of the spider and resulting in a more consistent quality of silk. However golden orb weaver silk is incredibly expensive and time consuming. A few years ago people made a cape out of the silk, it took 8 years and is valued at around $400,000. It would be much more efficient to use silk moth caterpillars, which are what are usually used to make silk. Would love to see a guitar strung entirely like this.
thought emporium has a project to make custom silk using the silk genes found in a variety of spiders which can be tuned for different uses. its an old video now but there are even opportunities to use genes that no natural spider uses to give the silk even more interesting properties. basically GMO silk. its pretty interesting and would take much of the animal harvesting right out of the process. getting rid of the "sticky" genes can make durable natural silk replacement and IDK if it was in the video but depending on the genes you can make it bulletproof or stretchy or stronger than rope etc.@@avaleloc1513

I think you're underestimating your own willpower and creativity if you were to be given the money and resources.

The overwhelming majority of people who will watch this video probably can't quit their jobs, and likely *will never be able to go on an international trip for similar passion projects for 6 months* , because they are too poor, because that's how economics and numbers work, because that's how statistics work. Because odds are, most people, will not 'beat the odds', because that literally is contradictory. He is making money and the project is securing his future.

Wow, the ending of this video just warmed my heart- it is amazing how much talent folks have, & how respectful they were to the guitar itself when humbly offered it! 🥰💚
Bringing up the lawyer was a BOSS move, if you're interested in LIVING in madagascar, central or south america, this is the key to happiness. Lawyers move those worlds!
It's the right move in any corrupt country tbh
Locals WILL try to swindle you, they don't see you as human but as stupid prey
The part where you played Spider-Man tho-
Mwah! 🤌
Can’t believe so many people knew it from just the first notes!
I love your vids 😊
one of the best part @@Mattiaskrantz

ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS I HAVE EVER WATCHED, I GAINED SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE, IT WAS A PERFECT MIX OF DRAMA, HUMOUR, INFORMATION, SCIENCE, literally the best.
2:24 “I now have one spider and one wife.” Aaawwwwee 🥹❤️❤️❤️
8:11 what’s crazy is that 4,000 Malagasy Ariary is only $0.89 - so they were getting less than a dollar per spider and still so many people were out looking for them.
The value. In my country you can literally have one good meal with those.
88c for a spider in a little village is a lot
That’s 1.4% of the average monthly salary in Madagascar. ($64 USD)
Bro i live in mexico and 1 dollar buys a big taco with double tortilla, beans, mashed potatoes, and grilled steak plus unlimited salsas and toppings. I can imagine the money goes even further in a small village in Africa. And the tacos are big like 2 are enough to fill you up three to stuff you. They are also delicious.
Its a lot 💀
Getting an orb weaver to bite you is actually kind of impressive LOL they're so friendly
they wouldn't be if they were bigger. fuck arachnids.
Hell, I’d bite someone who’d been milking my *ss glands for the past hour as well, no matter how friendly I am.
Orb weavers are my favorite types of spiders
you're fucking horrifying@@blitzworldace
@@blitzworldace Same here. There's so many of them and they all have cool quirks that make them different.
In Brazil, this would get you arrested for molesting local fauna and biopiracy.
the best part was when you taught the kids how to drop their first F word
i love that they went to show the locals and then found some GREAT players! honestly they sounded fucking fantastic
Great musicians are everywhere making great music with anything. We just need to keep an ear out and an open mind.
You are a true madman. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone more committed to a project.
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.185 Don't sugma
did you see that 360 degrees guitar at the end of the video? crazy
And there is a village in Madagascar where people will tell their grandkids about the white Swedish Spiderman
This is amazing. Love your stories and when the guy played ring of fire in Madagascar I almost cried. This was great. Love it.
Fantastic video, you're gonna be a legend haha - this is how folklore begins :)
If Matt lived in a D&D setting, what weird things would he try to make guitar strings out of? Other than car-sized spiders.
Would he make a piano out of a mimic?
I could see him being the kind of person to be the origins of mimics, like it starts with building pianos, and they eventually gain sentience the more iterations he makes
@@nathanmiller9381 Maybe he should try to make that piano from Super Mario 64's ghost level.
He'd track down a mimic shaped like a piano, tame it, and play Rush E on it
Loved how fast they got the hell out of there when they found out you already did your legal research.
So much talent that’ll never get the light they deserve. Amazing what you can achieve without having a phone thrown in your face 24/7.
Makes me want to pick up a guitar.
this is one of the best videos on internet
this is one of the wildest videos i've ever seen on CZcams, i had no clue milking spiders was even possible, much less making a guitar string out of their silk?? and you flew to Madagascar to do it?? man. Amazing video; absolutely love seeing all the local village people excited as well and how much they and the staff helped you out, so cool!
There are labs genetically altering goats who make spider silk. The silk comes from their milk. So it would've been more efficient
I think you just made the world's most expensive guitar string given how expensive spider silk is. Who knows, some day in the future when they figure out how to produce spider silk commercially it might become a thing.
There are goats they've genetically modified that produce the proteins for spider silk in their milk that can then be extracted and purified into silk so I wouldn't be surprised if something along those lines becomes a source for it since that was like a decade ago
Scientists have already genetically altered some goats so that spider webs come out in their milk.
Smells like a Thought Emporium collaboration.
Minus the child labor.
@@fellipecanalthat company went bankrupt in 2012
The Thought Emporium has been working on this! With genetically engineered yeast
Man their guitar skills are good, and their music relaxing
This is what the demons in hell are going to do to you
"A spider that lives in FUCKING Madagascar" This got me 😂💀
This ain't yt shorts
@@DoTheFloppokay and?
"Well howdy do"
-Spider from DreamWorks' Madagascar
What got me was "we are from the B B C". So the woman probably though he was from Pornhub 🤣
I think it’s awesome how much all the locals tried helping you every chance they could
The money helped
would help anyone if there's enough money
Their voicesss!! So beautiful!!
