This is just one of those instruments that will never be able to sound right when reproduced by a speaker. It's such a thick and resonant sound that you really have to be in person to experience it properly. I've been lucky enough to be in the same room as a small one in high school but it was only a single octave. I'd love to actually be in the room to feel the resonance of that instrument.

@noesunyoutuber7680 2 жыл бұрын
@TheDireWolf To record it and really capture it on a record, I suspect you'd need to mix a lot of different mics together. I'd be interested to hear some ambient artist go at one of these with like, a whole 16 channel mixer worth of different mics all around the room.
@TheVirIngens 2 жыл бұрын
@TheDireWolf even then it wouldn't sound the same - the resonating plate heavily modifies the "raw" sound (= the vibration driving the plate), it doesn't just amplify it, Each of the plates is going to have a specific frequency response. Also there are probably also some nonlinear effects at play and feedback into the tuned resonators themselves, which will be really hard to replicate. I think a professional mic setup from different angles would do it a lot more justice. Although going to town with a piezo and a pedal board would be very cool too :)

By his own admission, Rob is mostly so proficient because he's good at adapting his musical knowledge. He knows guitar and keyboards, so anything that plays like a guitar (many of the stringed instruments) or a keyboard (like the Cristal Baschet here) is fairly intuitive for him. There's definitely a high level of musical ability required, though, you can throw somebody like me off by just tuning a guitar slightly different.

He plays several different glass instruments, and compositions inspired by Benjamin Franklin’s glass armonica by Johann Hasse (1699-1783) and Mozart to modern pieces- including the piece he plays at the end of the video! Had to find the CD in my collection again! 😊

My guess is because it was invented by a sculptor. The sound is mostly likely just a curiosity to them, without any interest in fully exploring the musical capabilities.

I suspect that the only way for an electronic musician to truly capture this effect would be physical modeling - a software instrument running a physics simulation of the real instrument's physical properties. No idea how much acoustics and programming knowledge that would require, or if simulating such a complex system of physical interactions would even be possible with current hardware. Just recreating the behavior of the plate reverb-like speaker cones would probably take months of full-time study to accurately simulate.
@nomindseye 2 жыл бұрын
@@noesunyoutuber7680 The current physical modelling instruments are not capable of this kind of modelling. They are basically just a whole bunch of resonant filters (resonator) with exiters (white noise, pulse, or some other sound source). It's called physical modelling but, it's basically just a hack. It CAN sound extremely close to real instruments in some cases, especially if you intelligently modulate parameters while playing. But modelling this accurately... I don't even know how you'd go about it. You can "easily" model aspects of this instrument on computer, but the whole of it seems a bit beyond current techniques.

As a percussionist and experienced wine glass toucher: our director wanted us to pick up a new technique or new instrument constantly, which will take an undetermined amount of time because WHO KNOWS how naturally and quickly we can learn our part, we've never played that instrument before or with that technique. Meanwhile the band directors believe it's harder for the wind players to learn new music on their same old instruments they always play.

First, most wood wind players play other woodwind instruments and instruments outside of woodwinds often. The difference is role in the orchestra. Percussion drives tempo and accents dynamics. Woodwinds can ruin a performance, even when their rhythm and pitch is technically perfect, because of the timbre of the sound is off. So yeah, different instruments have different roles and all have to fulfill their roles to make the ensemble whole.

When I worked as a machinist, I would cut 20'+ bars of metal tubing, and upon using compressed air to clean the chips out, I discovered the beautiful, deep notes created by different lengths of tubing. Combined with my high school physics lesson on nodes, I always wanted to build a combination organ/tubular bells art installation that I could play with two different keyboards - one to blow into the tubes, and one to strike them. Maybe once I reach ridiculously disposable income, I will pursue this project. I did build wind 4 sets of wind chimes with smaller lengths of narrower tubing, using the node principle to generate a pleasing chord. My mom still has the set I built her, 7 years later.

Perhaps ironically, the Cristal Baschet was originally invented in an attempt to replicate the sounds of electronics - Bernard Baschet was a fan of pioneering Electroacoustic musician Pierre Schaeffer, even working with him in the 1960's as part of Schaeffer's "Musical Research Group," and was inspired by the futuristic and otherworldly sounds of Schaeffer's manipulated tapes.
