Inspired by a Short Movie from Felix David - Hudba
The Hurdy Gurdy arguably has the coolest sounds of any folk instrument in the existence of humanity.
To be fair it sounds like he's playing a clarinet at the beginning, a violin at the middle, , and an electric guitar at the end. All with one instrument.
well, its pretty much the fx pedals and electronics in this case.
check out the Bowed Psaltery.
@@limitless_93 You explained it perfectly. Never heard so many different sounds from one instrument (+ the pedals)
@@limitless_93 Because it's electric hurdy-gurdy. You can play any instrument on bass too.
Listen to Andrey Vinogradov's hurdy gurdy. He plays an acoustic one and it's much better than this.
The Hurdy Gurdy is a medieval synthesizer keyboard.
Best analogy I’ve seen!
This one is electric and its plugged, that is why is making so many different sounds.
@@TheGrainhas Nope, all those sounds are possible from just the hurdy gurdy.
@@EntropicEcho you have proof?
@@IzopropilmetilFosdonofloridat I've played one for years? :)
Cool thing to look up, if you can find it: "Hurdy Gurdy Project". Made by the gurdy players of Garmarna and Hednignarna. They've sampled lots of weird and funky sounds from their instruments and made some weird ass electronic/folk music with it!
The instrument smoked a cigarette after this...
the world smoked a cigarette after this....
Shoot maybe 2.
You are most definitely not the only one who felt or thought that way.
rofl )
I killed my mother after this
I love how he utilizes it in so many ways to produce different types of sound
It's plugged up to a synthesizer.
I love that you've taken a medieval instrument and made music with it that would absolutely get you burned at the stake
@@mikepatton1873 not really, and americans are finally getting a bit of karma from themselves, for always trying to demonize what is basically their origins (and that is indeed sad)
jh5kl can you explain what you mean by "always trying to demonize what is basically their origins"? Not that I disagree necessarily, just curious what specifically you're thinking of.
The Satanic dragon head on the instrument gave me pause. What is our society's obsession with evil imagery? I know its only a carving. And a well done one at that. Why not a cherub, a flower, a bird or some other object conveying beauty? The music is THAT beautiful. I have reached an age where I seek beauty, and reject nihilism and evil in all things. Just thinking out loud. No need for anyone to over react.
@@videolabguy beauty is subjective. Where you see evil or "demonic" imagery others may see a wise being of a fanciful time long forgotten to modern man. In much fantasy, dragons especially are personified as being of nearly unmatchable intellect and wisdom as well as power beyond that which any one man can ever possess.
@@videolabguy is it really satanic? And why is it that this is something that's bothering you.
never seen someone with such an intimate knowledge of every part of his instrument
iNahtanoJ if they don’t know everything about their instrument then they don’t deserve it. This man truly deserves his instrument. ;-;
It's almost....sexual
The Hurdy gurdy is as much a piece of machinery as an instrument. You can't properly play one unless you understand how to make it work... So I've heard from practicioners at least.
@@sommmathechamp5801 So the how is one supposed to get to know his instrument?
Benjamin Haase playing it is the best way. If you’ve had it for years but left it to dust then you shouldn’t have it. This applies for all instruments ;-;
the part that starts at 2:36 feels like you poured everything you had into the emotion coming out of that instrument
That was a master showing off his musical prowess within his own elements, exemplifying mastery over all methods and uses of the hurdy gurdy. THAT is how you play an instrument! THAT is what we musicians aspire to be!
Thank you, Guilhem, for the astounding performance that was delivered by this eloquent tune. Cicatrices, though I have never heard it before, will now never seem quite as awesome as when I first heard it from you!
Pax!
Amen!
As an amateur luthier,making mostly guitars,I've toyed with the idea of building a hurdy gurdy.Now I know that I absolutely have to add one of these amazing instruments to my collection.Guilhem is obviously a virtuoso musician,with what sounds like practically a spiritual connection to the instrument and the music being created.I will try to learn to play my hurdy gurdy,but I have no illusions that I will ever develop the sort of mastery on display here.Kudos to Guilhem for bringing this antique musical tradition to a modern audience in such a beautiful way.
@@zekeoden5377 You never know, it could take hold of your soul! Muahahaaaah!
For those who don't know, "Cicatrices" means "scars" in Spanish :)
Agreed!
I've never witnessed anybody shred on a Hurdy Gurdy till now haha.
No shit lol, dude is tearin it up 3:05 getting into that shit
If you wanna hear him make a hurdy gurdy sing listen to break your crank. I swear i hear the thing singing
Sounds similar to a violin, also this instrument reminds me of how unique instruments exist like the thernim
@@puppersjr6389 have you ever seen a musical saw! That thing is awesome, it also inspired the theramin
never expected to get chills from an instrument called a hurdy gurdy but i sure did wow
Fun fact: this instrument was also known as the _symphonia_ at one point in time, among other names such as _vielle_
@@PixelOverload Yes, it is "Vielle à roue" in French
Zanfona or zanfoña in Spanish.
Me: I want to hear some electronic music with violins and electric guitar and just a unique clash.
CZcams: Here's a hurdy gurdy
😊
Thank you CZcams.
when the algorithm gods know you better than you know yourself.
This shit made me laugh
It's an electric hurdy gurdy with a synthesizer tuned to sound as everything EXCEPT hurdy gurdy though.
Послушал наверное раз 200. Это эйфория !!!!Аплодисменты Мастеру!!!!!!
я слушаю раз в полгода точно. У меня это видео в избранном.
Do you play guitar, bass or drums?
"Yeah."
It must be "Yes" 🤣😂
@@darmawan1934 Exactly what I thought
Actually, "Do you play guitar, violin, bass or drums?"
Or rather:
Which instrument do you play?
Yes
Gold
This is what it looks like when a bard gets a nat20.
Also love that you use the entire instrument.
Found this song. Listened to it like 60 times in a row. Found out he has an album. Bought the album. Now listened to the album over 100 times. Amazing sound, amazing album, amazing talent. 20/10, over 9000. Hope he keeps making more.
over 9000. ahaha. haven't heard that in a while.
Similar story; One day I realized that I had heard the Donavan song Hurdy Gurdy Man I had no idea what a hurdy gurdy sounded like , so I you tubed 'sound of a hurdy gurdy' ; this came up at top of list. I took their suggestion and was utterly blown away, probably listened 30 times in a row. Even now years later ,when I listen I always listen to it many times in a row and it still blows me away.
Currently, I only play the cello and the bass guitar. This guy makes me want to add the hurdy gurdy to my string instrument repertoire.
I encourage you to do it and if you can buy one from his family you'll be well on your way to doing things you never imagined before!
I want one too but they are so expensive
@@riftmanhun5243 You can buy a nerdy gurdy kit for $400 or something, which isn't very expensive as instruments go. However, there's a bit of a wait list, as it's just one guy making them (albeit, with a 3-D printer). Also, he lives in The Netherlands, so if you live outside the EU, you'll have to pay international shipping fees. There's a website for it if you want to look into it. Just Google "nerdy gurdy kit."
Oh wow dude. At times this sounds like a theremin, at other times a violin, at other times like weird chanting, then it's an electric guitar, that's incredible.
BazilRat I want to hear a violin and an electric guitar played with this.
@@vukman2665 exactly what I was thinking.
@@vukman2665 Check out Eluvietie. ;)
I also hear a sax in there for a second or two.
It's a true medieval analogue synthetiser.
Random CZcams suggestion.
10/10
Using the Hurdy Gurdy like the Magical Instrument it is?
Absolutely priceless. Unless you have a CD. I'll pay for that.
And a digital copy
I found out about this instrument because of Fredrick Knudsen’s video on it. He plays it personally and goes into detail about why the sound can be so varied and unique. It’s extremely customizable and requires intense maintainence.
@@mindfulselfindulgence WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB
Andrei Enache yes
If you were logged in, not so random...
@@korzalm I had no hurdy gurdy suggestions. It was random. Fail.
My Mother passed suddenly 8/21/2020. I found this specific song, played with digital delay through what i think is guitar peddles...
It's helped me to grieve...
Just listening again & now I'm in tears...
Thank you..! Song means more then before.🔥
Name is basically "Scars" in Spanish, so slightly predictable
The song title literally means "Scars" in French, and it's the feminine variant of the word, so perhaps appropriate.
I always interpreted the title as referring specifically to 'Heart Scars'.
i love how you can see how he really gets into playing it like his body legit moved backwards
I want a feature length animated movie built around this song. It’s a journey
@Prime Journey Maby Postapocaliptic with a mix of Steampunk and Fantasy?
@@auraknight98 YES
Something akin to Chinese martial fantasy movie?
A post apocalyptic Chinese martial arts steampunk sci fi movie
Check his channel. He has one.
3:30 I melted. That instrument cried. It stole my soul simultaneously.
Bruh...understatement of the year!
My soul left my body for a while too !!
Me too brother
Amen.
2:41 holy shit that straight up just doesnt sound like a Hurdy Gurdy anymore
Simply Brilliant, the layering of sound and rhythm was a superb assault on my ears and my soul was swept away to a different time to a medieval rock concert. What genius. Thank you.
I WASN'T READY FOR THAT
I just wanted to listen to hurdy-gurdy while I ate dinner, but no. That was art, art is art, and you don't ignore art.
Because art is a question mark, not an answer.
this man said it himself
Not to say regular hurdy-gurdy is any less art.
@@Shyuthrosnaevin no one even said that
Indeed, but it was inadvertently implied.
1st time listening:
"Holy crap, this is so awesome it gives me shivers!"
42nd time listening:
"Holy crap, this is so awesome it gives me shivers!"
For real, same
42 times....Rookie numbers , you have to up those numbers.
I felt the same way!
Hehe....
Haha! Same here.
Edit: Just realized that I replied to this a month ago, and entirely didn't realize. Oh how my memory fails me....
this is a live demonstration of the evolution of a musician from elegant to passionate, and eventually mad....
Ight
It seems I've dropped my bass, acustic and electric guitar as well as a friends violin in a box with a Yu-Ghi-Oh Fusion card by accident and this beast popped out.
Everyone's gangsta 'til Guilhem pops the top off the Hurdy Gurdy
This is quite possibly the most beautiful thing my ears have ever been blessed to have heard.
I highly recommend you lister to’ caoineadh cu chulainn’ by davy Spillane. Let me know what you think.
totally agree!
cheers from cologne bay, germany!
arthur
Yea its very nice. Good sex for the ears.
It's in the passion for the sound
When i'm feel sad or i'm overthinking on my life.
This track healing me.
Thank you Guilhem Desq. Thank you so much
If he played this back in the medieval times, they would think he was the devil himself who played the instrument. I love it!!
So that sounds like he'd be in the same league as Paganini of which they had the same opinion
The guest gurdy used to be known as the Devil's instrument.
Maybe but back then they didn't have a pedal repeater. Still a boss
Wouldn't even have to play music. Those lights on the pedals and computers would be begging for a stoning.
Humans are just as stupid as before, it won't take too much to find such a place.
The only music that can make me forget to breathe...
My thoughts exactly. I don't know how you can feel as if your heart is racing and it also stopped at the same time.
The solo between 2:35 and 3:25 is out of this world. I just can't get this instrument out of my head. Incredible
1:30 is just mesmerizing ❤️
Yeah, that solo is pretty amazing. :)
Beautiful and amazing instrument, never heard this before ❣️
sounded like electric guitar solo
As you yourself have pointed out, this is a “different instrument” because you are able to do things with it that are not possible on a traditional hurdy-gurdy. YOU ARE A PIONEER, and you are fearlessly exploring new gurdy territory in a unique and totally wonderful way.
While I love the traditional gurdy repertoire, if the instrument is to make it into the 21st century as anything other than a curious relic of the past it must adapt, like the guitar and the keyboard, to the world of electronics. I think what you are doing is magnificent! I am familiar with the peripheral equipment you are using, and it requires a degree of dexterity and virtuosity that rivals what is needed just to play the gurdy. You appear to have mastered both.
The problem with being a pioneer is that it is a lonely and often thankless existence.
Well balanced and well thought out appraisal, I couldn't express it better. I concur on all counts.
@Peter Pringle thankless existence? Nah bud. We can all thank him by liking his videos, subscribing, sharing, and buying his work as well. ;-D
May it be so little thing but I thank him for this experience.
"new gurdy territory"
He is not a pioneer. This has been done many times before him. Many if not most hurdy gurdy players are aware of the abilities of the instrument.
I'm honestly speechless. I'm along time gurdy fan, but I've never seen anything quite like this. My mind is blown and I'm covered in goosebumps
If there was one instrument that could express all of emotion… this is it, and somehow you captured them all while releasing them at the same time! Well done. Can’t hear it enough.
You sir, provoked my first comment on this platform ever. This was absolutely stunning.
It’s... violin and guitar and everything at once and also not any of those instruments at all!!! Amazing!! Wow!!
if you didn't knew about the hurdy gurdy, I can recommend this vid for you : czcams.com/video/xv52jaxkHPw/video.html
it's about the hurdy gurdy history, its rise from Constantinople to its dwindle existence past the french revolution and finally to its resurgence in the last century.
I warn you tho, it's half an hour long :p
I came out of a DMT experience and listened to this non stop for the next day. Summarised the whole experience so vividly, words can't describe. Thank you for this!
czcams.com/video/soP-VolZi0A/video.html
I have no words to describe how beautiful this melody is. Beautiful, yes, but also sad? Mournful? It's so well made.
1:32-2:08. Oh my goodness. So beautiful. So haunting. Emotional. It certainly distills many feelings for me.
Marvelously done.
I could listen to it all day.... and I have been.
When you can play the sax, the violin, the guitar, AND also drop in an electric guitar solo, all from an instrument that actually qualifies for a real musical instrument.
Don't forget the thermin
Now that I think of it, the hurdy gurdy is the ultimate instrument for the left-handed.
This version is so much better than the version on his Spotify, I can't get over it.
Now I picture a druid elf chilling in a Cadillac watching the city's nightsky from across a lake.
a Netflix production.
Yep, this would indeed make a great addition to the soundtrack of Bright
@@ajdegroot1980 A better Bright.
While his bitches out there gettin his money !!
Well, that was spellbinding. Some parts sounded like an erhu.
1:35 to 2:08
Это было нечто. Никогда бы не подумал, что с колесной лирой можно сыграть вот так.
No Instrument cries out to me in the way that the hurdy gurdy does. It's like it's sounds were taken from my dreams themselves. One Day I'll have one of these beautiful instruments so that I can express a fraction of the emotion you do.
There is no greater sadness than finding an amazing artist, looking up their tour schedule, and seeing that you missed them by four. fucking. days. Ah well! I am thankful I found you at all. :)
I was lucky enough to ear this guy in concert. That was absolute madness ! This is one of the most amazing thing i've ever seen and eard
I've never heard something like this.... i was breathless, had goosebumps and felt like crying from wonder.
This is a virtuoso performance and composition.
Thank you. I needed something different and this was it.
That "cicatrice" will surely leave a scare to my soul...
That was hauntingly beautiful 🙌

I'm so lucky that I live in the same time period with you so I can hear all of your masterpieces.

Благодарность, теперь знаю что за инструмент...
@@ivanklein6636 "Хурди Гирди", если говорить на англ
@@samurai-ky1ti что в переводе шарманка
Тоже не так давно узнал о подобном инструменте, совершенно случайно, звучит очень шикарно и эмоционально, звук похож на помись скрипки и баяна (аккордеона ), отличное сочетания душераздирающей музыки ))
Виноградов тоже отлично играет
It's not out of ignorance but I don't know the words to describe how this makes me feel wonderful just doesn't cut it it's not just the music it's the musician that has brought it to life
I don’t know how I’ve ended up on hurdy gurdy youtube, but man does this go hard!
This is incredible; I love the distorted solo near the end
The hurdy-gurdy isn't necessarily my favorite instrument, but you've managed to create something beautiful and ethereal with it. Amazing performance.
Second to my son and daughter being born this is one of the best things I've ever seen.
This is permanently my most favorited Song i have ever heard since its a really calming and soothing song with an instrument that is rarely seen by the public to know the possibilities of this thing and plus having an amazing artist of the music trade play this complete mystical music i have heard in ages. It legit makes you feel like you slowly ascend out of the normal plain and into a abstract reality. The more you listen to it the more it opens your mind. You my good sir deserve better praise than the 2.5mil views, you my good man should be praised for your hard work.
You could make a religion out of this
no don't
@@CubicApocalypse128 That's actually the best answer I could get
Funnily enough the Hurdy gurdy was used prominantly in churches for several centuries.
So in other words there already is a religion out of this
is this a simplified reference huehuhuehue
Words just cant explain how good this is..
When the cover flips back and that solo drops....I was done, like DONE.
Never thought you could shred with a crank. But then again, there's a lot of things I didn't know until I saw this video. Incredible work. ❤
It's been forever! Hurdy gurdy man be back in business!
So sad and beautiful :(
All the sounds from this instrument, wow 😮
Loving this music too.
I come back here from time to time, always extremely amazed at what a true master can get out of his instrument. Having an extreme musical talent helps too I guess :)
Can't believe the different sounds you were able to produce from one instrument
Огромное спасибо Вам! За то что тронули душу, этой великолепной игрой на музыкальном инструменте, который я вижу впервые в жизни, я обожаю подобную музыку, люблю слушать соло гитарные с закрытыми глазами, представлять как ноты проходят через меня, мурашки по коже, словно идёшь в по речке в маленькой лодке в шторм, чувствую что гитара уже не такой душевный инструмент для меня после увиденного, да что там увиденного, Услышанного! Спасибо!
Не знаю сколько раз уже пересматриваю этот ролик. Это круто.

This is it. This song is like when you get out of a long term relationship, it s bittersweet, its beautiful, its a time of self reflection, and remembering the good, and dulling the bad, but never forgetting. fantastic piece , thank you for sharing this! I feel like this has answered some question I had in my soul, but didn't know how to ask.
I can listen to this a thousand times and still not getting bored. What a talent!
This has to be the coolest thing I've seen in a very long time by far.
Thanks to the CZcams algorithm for recommending this masterpiece🎶🔥🎶
You know what I find so beautiful about all of this ? Is that I feel like you express what we all feel. The truth. All of it.
To be precise, I feel exposed by this work of art. And I feel thankful for it. All of it :)
2 words. Holy! Shit! Coming here from Andrey Vinogradov being the only other Hurdy Gurdy player I watch/listen to on CZcams, this was absolutely mind-boggling to watch and reafirms my NEED to get a Hurdy Gurdy and learn to play. From the moment you opened the keyboard and played manually to the raw passion and emotions this song made me feel, I've just been left stunned quite honestly. 20/10 performance, I will be subbing and hitting that notification bell. Good god man that was fucking amazing to hear/watch. Shivers and Chills will not go away!
I can see that it takes a lot of skill to play this instrument and whoever' made it is very professionally skiled and tapped in the head
I've heard someone in his family makes instruments and they worked with him on this one.
@@benbrown8258 He made it himself, with his experienced father's help & advice, but all the innovation is Guilhem's (and I don't just mean the playing). I love just watching his hands and hearing the music.
Wow, I’m blown away, never heard anything like that.
I can imagine you playing that to a monarch and him abdicating his throne to you.
This is a modern masterpiece, let's be real
It's like ... weeping . I can't help but shed a tear and watch it shatter .
I swear to you, I've listened to this wonderful song over 20 times.
my favorite part of this instrument is how left hand friendly it is like yes finally something i can try lol
I wish they made a right handed one...
I never thought anyone would make such a blasphemous beauty with this instrument. I just discovered this instrument yesterday and thought it was pretty cool and all but would mostly only be used to play classical and medieval stuff. You shattered that perspective
The energy this tune carries can bend the fabric of time and space. I'm five years younger now
2:44 i can hear my soul cry
Preach It my brother, my soul agrees with that Spell
There are no words that can describe the sheer splendor and ecstasy this song brought toward my soul, sincerely thank you mister musician man…
Also it can NOT BE ONLY ME that thinks “GODAMN this sounds like Risk of Rain 2 HOLY SHIT”
(Also English ain’t my first language so if I get stuff wrong sorry)
Absolutely agree.
This is amazing! Besides the fact that this music pins like ecstasy, my headache also went away. I listened to this 2 times in a row! Thank you!
These 2020 quarantine recommendations have been spot on lately.
Едрён батон! Это шедевр! Исполнитель монстр! Проникает до костей, ты крутой чувак!
This tune is like a drug. I just keep coming back.
Stumbled across this today as part of the old algorithm and I have been enthralled. I love the way you shoot your videos in addition to the music itself. Fascinating to watch how you are doing all of the various sounds...doors clapping, etc. Well done!
Sir, you have managed to somehow capture the haunting melody of a daxophone, on a hurdy gurdy.
Thankyou for mentioning this instrument, and also how dare you.
I'd say I disagree, but it's not easy to come to the same level as a daxophone, so I can't disagree
Wanted to buy but most are 1300$....time to sell some plasma
At $1300 those are the cheaper ones. A gurdy like the one in the video will easily set you back $5000 or more. Don't sell plasma for that, you won't have any left :-)

So genius. What an instrument and what a skills of the player
Raw talent is getting the whole sandwich 🥪 just like everyone else has gotten.
But you pull the bread apart and assemble the ham, cheese, and Mayo into a tune that chills the spine instead of taking a bite out of the corner just like everyone else does…
I got so mesmerized watching you play that I forgot how cool-looking your hurdy gurdy is. You know how to captivate an audience. I would love to see you play live some day!
