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 hopes you donts haftas Waits until too many Tom Arrows have been stuck upon ze Moons.
Somehow I have the feeling that this majestic instrument has a plethora of fascinating possibilities beyond a few chord repetitions.

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
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.
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.
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.
Sound is everywhere consistently playing music. We just have to know how to listen. Recently there was a person who made a musical instrument from a spider web to show how spiders actually hear the web and what it would sound like when it was brought into human hearing. Because the thread is so small we can't hear it. It was fascinating to watch and listen to. Someone else made a guitar string out of spider web as well. Although that wasn't as Plesant because he basically tortured a bunch of spiders to get their thread.
I think CZcams recommended this to me because of all the Baldur’s Gate 3 stuff I’ve been watching. I’m not complaining though.
I'm not really a big microtonal person myself, but I like this.
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
Headbending. Just lovely.
Looks like another instrument Joe Porter needs to add to his collection. He’s a got an aquarion and a crystallophone.
For a marimba it sounds so hollow and I love it.
One crack and it's over
So play it!
Glad to hear 1 minute of how it sounds
SO BEAUTIFUL!
Is this the full piece? Is a longer recording available anywhere? So soothing! Poor Minotaur.
Elegant design and sound so sublime! If only a new building could look and sound like this... Imagine that!
Man, some of those intervals and chords feel incredibly itchy.
That’s a beautiful instrument ,and the sound wooow
A remake of the Forest Temple theme from Zelda OOT would be awesome on this!
It's literal Phillip Glass
in the thumbnai lt his looked to me like a miniature olympic swimming pool.
This is beautiful, now one made out of ice please :-)
Thanks so much for sharing this, and best wishes for your future success ✌️
So lovely
A very beautiful and well sounding instrument indeed!
This is lovely.I would also buy the Glass on glass album. 😉
This is interesting, but I don't think the music played really showed off its microtonal possibilities very well.
This is awesome!
Beautiful stuff
The look of this, as well as the project name, make me think of Stargate Atlantis...
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!
This is beautiful
Seriously, amazing piece
Very soothing sound ❤️❤️❤️
That was so beautiful, thank you!
Cool. It's like Harry Partch meets Terry Riley.
0:06 Windows 10 Timer-Sound. Pizza is ready
This is so pretty
Gorgeous sound and look 👍
Well, I know what I'm asking Santa for this year.
I’m guessing he’s now broke
Could be used for a ringtone I feel.
That's hypnotic
This reminds me a lot of some of the pieces in the Land of the Lustrous soundtrack
Oh you guys are reading music! 😊
woahhh eeriiee . like a ufo vist in the night forest
Beautiful instrument, expertly played, but the piece sounds like watching a test pattern on old broadcast TV.
Cool! 👏👏👏
For anyone w Android, there's an Application where you can make well tempered scales from 2 to 51 notes per octave.
Where do they grow those giant olives for the end of the sticks?
Spain.
@@DrRiq lol
exquisite 😭
I am inclined to listen to this with headphones. But, that is just me...
I love it really😊
Is it an old Arts umbrella building at Grenville Island, Vancouver, BC (currently Ballet BC)?
Good job on making that instrument! They all sounds exactly the same!
Super awesome, but please, GET JAZZY, GET FUNKY !!!!!!!!!!!
It would be interesting to hear someone play music on it.
That instrument is crying for some Zelda covers to be played on it.
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.
I'm picking up what the algorithm is laying down
After watching this video, I wonder what music would sound like in this 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!...
Time to dust off my microtonal glass marimba
Same Instrument at heart, different Principals at play.
Sounds like something I'd hear in Warframe
Oh Jesus this is fantastic
Amazing tone, or is it just psychological, the suggestion of glass?
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?
You should make one for Philip Glass
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?
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?'
Like and to favs
Godly sounding af
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 ?
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?
If only I could play this! I have t played any mallet instrument in so long because of Corona
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.
I wonder if the sheet music uses an A-G scale with microtonal accidentals/key signature.
Nice! Let's turn some jazz musicians loose on it.

Ed Marimba is a Tripp
Beautiful ! ... but let's see what the 'Blue Man Group' can do with this.
Reminds me of Indonesian Jegog music.
Steve Reich would love this.
they called it Phillip...
Can you play us some tunes on this amazing looking, and sounding instrument, please? Something that we can hum along to?
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?
Okay, Smart Guys, now play Stardust on that thing, and I mean the Lionel Hampton version.😁😁😁
Ice caves from a pokemon game vibes.
Totally amazing! 🎉
adam neely approves
How are the glass pieces held in place?
I'd be curious of watching a sheet for this instrument.
Маримба значительно красивее, чем музыка, которую на ней сыграли...
Fascinating instrument, the composition, not so much.
1:31
Are there other acoustic microtonal instruments? Like a piano? Where could I get something like this?
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.
Sounds like vaporwave synth
Why do i think about "cowboy bebop: knocking on heaven's door" hearing this?
