[hobbit4life]

[wbrinkley1983]

dead fox

[SuperLucianoLima]

Muito legal! Parabens!

Very cool! Congratulations! I liked a lot!

[jonyanderson]

foda

[2HornDogs]

Damn, that was amazing! Keep this up, I would be doing the same thing if i could be in a band and afford those awesome instruments.

[porousorifice]

At $5000 plus each one would think they could afford to turn on a few more lights!

LOL

[Morkat1991]

@porousorifice Stupido!

[thecaveman]

watch?v=ZdNMoMNKNJQ

[thecaveman]

Do you guys still remember that cool light & sound device from the movie 'Masters Of The Universe' starring Courteney Cox? I can't help but see the similarities!

[eshbena]

Freakin awesome!

[J90JAM]

These hard to play?

[Thisacchasnewsongs]

Moby's children will be proud.

[SkyMurphy77]

oh dear... it's sucking me in...

[tzolkin2013]

reminds of the bar in star wars

[harrellbugg]

Just found this - OUTSTANDING!

[unclebobbem]

The good news is, you guys totally rocked this cover, the Eigs only add to the art.

The bad news? After hearing your rendition, I purchased the original version by Moby, and I'm not happy with it, especially since it has vocals, and sounds totally different.

You talented guys need to start putting some music out there for sale.

Cheers

[drakovolf]

@unclebobbem I always really liked the original! ^_^ They do an awesome cover, though!

[dynastino]

15 people have shitty computer speakers, and no cultural taste

[turdstar]

i immagine this is what optomas primes cokc sounds/looks like XD

[helravenmoccasin]

unreal

[huuvp]

that fox froze in amazement.

[PosDrummer]

14 people were mediocre drummers being made redundant

[Aztlnight]

fucking awesome

[777horn777]

Where can i steal one from?

[peppercat89]

@777horn777 police offices

[Cmpkittykat]

18,000$ standing in one room right there.

[homerjayjunior]

Fucking great!!!! Amazing

[ShaolinViolin]

i would buy an album if you guys released it

[lslewis]

really nice guys...where do u get an instrument like this?

[Buuuuuutch]

It's the fuckin Max Rebo Band!

[Pandalol1337]

Better than the original tbh =)

[dunndirtcheap]

These things gotta be a blast to play. Cool sound, gents!

[RedDubplate]

this is sick!

[Liewald]

i think what people are missing out is that these things (from what i can tell at least) aren't meant to be the only instrument on stage. put them in a normal band lineup and they act as your synths, brass and whatever other weird instrument you need at the time :P

[Dracopol]

That's great but the video is too dark. I want to see these instruments well-lit and clearly, to be able to tell what you're doing.

[peppercat89]

An electric guitar or a trumpet or whatever are cool instruments with a lot of appeal. These things ave nothing of that, although they sound good.

Holding a live concert with these things will be boring I think.

[785Vegeta]

ello m8, dave keep up the good work your very talented i subscribed for you so please send msgs and let us know anything new comes up

[krepechux]

Zero sexapeal. This instrument has same charm as broom stick. 

[streetxlite]

@krepechux

Sex appeal?! This instrument doesn't need to have sex appeal, because it may as well be magic.

[jhbhbvbvbnbmnb]

pussy does not factor into this

[StegoOnVenus]

Bond and Dan Dare's instrument of choice, futuristic, brilliant, technologically advanced, as british as routemasters, tx4's, roast beef and top hats. And it carries a built in laser gun

[mrblue19]

this is nothing short of amazing. can you guys do a rendition of "ecstasy of gold"?

[Staati18]

@mrblue19 would be nice ;)

[TheHellbino]

@Agentsprial Because Agent:Spiral,idiots will try to kill them to get the Eigenharp.But then again,it does have a built-in death ray... :)

[MultiMumsie]

Thanks for your reply. I could listen to you guys over and over again. Love the instrument!

[Agrenoth]

14 guys tried killing Bourne.

[coortex1]

i love the future

[LordDonutz]

Damn! This is cool as hell, make more vids of you jammin, sounds cool. 

[vigil]

You guys could could get a gig at the Mos Eisley Cantina! lol

[tehsimo]

this sounds shit

[jewpoc]

for the love of god, play the mos eisley cantina sog

[sagarbrit]

Guys if you are travelling to India anytime soon... do organize a gig at Hard Rock Cafe or Blue Frog in Bombay.... This is awesome... would be great to listen to you guys LIVE....

[MultiMumsie]

How long did it take you guys to learn how to play this awesome instrument? Is it expensive? Can it be used for any music, like modern gospel? You've got me hooked!!!! I love the lights it makes and the sounds. A one man band for sure. Can you play it without a computer?

[bobnjoe]

@MultiMumsie Eigenlab(dot)com..It is quite expensive at 499 euro's. Since it's an electronic instrument you may be able to simply use an amp, not sure though.

[bobnjoe]

@MultiMumsie Oh, never mind about that, just looked it up, you need a computer to use it. It has no pre-programed sounds, it takes all the sounds from the computer.

[shoopdawoop3]

not gonna lie this seems like like a instrument that could revolutionize electronic music

[sifumartyn]

these dudes should be playing in the bar scene in Star Wars!!

[Megaspek]

@sifumartyn Hehe you stole that comment from the James Bond Theme vid of these guys.

i love it when people are so 'creative' with placing comments...

[malkslap]

LOVED IT

would love it even more if it was more 8bit!!!!!

[D3mang3l]

Ok... that's like 10 thousand bucks in one video... Wow.

[funkyflashfive]

@D3mang3l more like 17 thousand 

[poncasucks]

oh baby.... oh baby... it's like a cantina band for g33ks

[raven50x]

You guys have an mp3 of this?

[bryan46619]

all great



[freek32]

this is amazing. How much does one of these cost you?

[dustsmoke]

Why aren't the Eigenharps cabled into anything? Do they have some sort of wifi adapter thats not for sale on the eigenharp site?

[evillilmiget]

@dustsmoke Theres a cable that goes to a box then to a laptop.

[Solokian]

@guitgeo : Doesn't need a spit valve, because the "condensed breath" (lol) will go down in the pipe, and not stay in it. You may have some in your mouth though.

Besides, there's a unstable version for windows out now, and the stable one is scheduled for this summer (check out the official site).

And you can put whatever sound you have in it, so you can use better drums and guitar sounds if you want to...

(btw sax baritone player here, I know what a spit valve is)

[guitgeo]

@Solokian  Thanx bud! lol!

[guitgeo]

Does it have a spit valve? Where does the condensed breath water accumulate?? Horn players will know what I'm talking about.

[SubstanceFB]

@guitgeo It doesn't accumulate, it flows out.

[guitgeo]

@SubstanceFB Thanx for the info. I visited you channel..fantastic performance! I left some questions for you, I hope you have the time to answer, if not, that's cool. I know how busy people can get....

[whitey1350]

It's awesome and everything, but I wish they'd put the instrument in a bit more context sometimes...There's only so awesome 3 eigenharps are going to sound, esp. when all the musicians are interested in is electronica. Some of the individual sounds I've heard from this thing are amazing, but there needs to be a branching out and a real effort to show just how good some of the tones are...

...a bit of work in post wouldn't hurt these demo reels either :-)

[johnnewman56]

@whitey1350 I am thinking about putting together an Eigenharp ensemble together to attempt some of the great sax quartet/quintet repertoire by UK compose Nigel Wood at Saxtet Publications - any London based Eigenharp players out there fancy giving it a go?

[guitgeo]

BTW - it will only work on a MAC. It's not Windows compatible and you still need to hook it up to your stereo or guitar amp to get any kind of decent sound. The devil is in the details isn't he?

[guitgeo]

$5600 Are you guys out of your minds?? Then I have to use a computer to use it because it's useless without one. Not exactly portable. Admittedly it's very cool - as a very expensive toy. The drums sounds are as cheesy as any I've ever heard. No guitar patch??? Give me a break!!

[capnbiggots]

I'll get one when it's advanced enough that it doesn't just sound like midi

[Necrolokost]

Yeah i want to spend a ton of money for an instrument which play ending credits of megadrive games.

[rubberman2602]

so one costs over 9000 dollars? that's cool.

[Teh3DModeler]

@rubberman2602 what 9000?

[HOLYHECKITSPAUL]

i was about to buy my brother a keytar (he does a ton of behind keyboard stuff, and needed something badass to play live.

I'm chipping in towards one of these for him.. hell i want one myself and i'm just a Bass player :D

[superbooch3000]

they look like the Star Wars cantina band hahaha

[gilzineto]

@superbooch3000 i was about to say tat!! haha

[XFattMonsterX]

Great work guys.I want the Eigenharp Alpha soooo bad, considering selling many of my guitars and amps to get it....may settle for a Pico to get started right away.

[BatmanDCKnight]

makes me want to kill 300 bad guys while wearing a tux.

[Ericman2043]

u should play in the dark, that would look cool

[LinkBulletBill]

I'm fucking up obsessed with all different sorts of instruments!

Guitar to Theremin to Minimoog to Stylophone to Harmonica to Hammond B3 Organ to fuckin etc...

This seems to impress me!

[LofiFreq]

FU<KIN ROCK ON!!

[kirbyfan95]

Spend £11985 and make Youtube videos with the products. I love you three.

[neur0n]

Shit now I want one.

[annedelier]

You were born to play this instrument , the sound and the lights are awesome !

[rattusvulpes]

I'll never forget this song. It will always remind me of Vincent Laforet's "Reverie" and falling in love with Canon 5D Mark II. Terrific performance, wish I had an Eigenharp.

[IRBaboonVideo]

I love these things but they are WAY too expensive. I'll stick with Korg for now as far as musical things go :)

[disturbedrocks992]

Woah, this is actually pretty awesome.

[KESLaser]

Encore!!!!

[AgentSpiral]

Why dont you guys play gigs at bars people will like die over this instrument!

[sircraigery]

@AgentSpiral

I'd be scared a beer bottle would smash over my $8000 controller.

[PutItAway101]

@AgentSpiral hell yeah this'll get the bitchez all over them fo' sho'

[JustaPaperbagWriter]

@AgentSpiral each one of those things is 6000$. I don't think they need bar playing money.

[AgentSpiral]

@JustaPaperbagWriter They made it so they didn't have to buy it.Just because you have 6000 dollars to shell out doesn't mean you don't need money LOL.Do you live in this economy?

[whitedevil121]

it cost 5600$ and i believe you get them in germany or somewhere in europe

[PsyConversion]

From England.

[inigovazquez14]

wow so how much did one of thous cost you guys? were can i get one? and is it hard to learn how to play it?

[duffland09]

Fucking Ace!

[mikkun]

man, you guys play great. I wanted to make a request guys, can you do a rendition of T-Square's Truth? I think the song's right up your alley.

[Kyle2themax]

What the hell...

That was way too awesome. I am going to go contemplate my life now...

[azngamergrl]

I love the way you guys rock this, and look bad@ss doing it.

[hauffenschweiler]

well in the musical perspective and capability..i mean you can be a one man orchestra with this thing. it'll be worth every dollar once you lays hands on it, so just start saving some $. i know i am. ;)

[elpagna]

Guys this is awesome and you seem to have a lot of fun playing that instrument \#/

[Cureageous]

Wow, all I can think of is the Cantina scene in Star Wars...someone needs to develop Eigenharp stage presence...

[Pezdetz666]

@Cureageous

...someone's missing the point of the video and being pointlessly pedantic....someone just wants to throw in their two cents for what little they're worth...someone needs to go back to preschool and learn that music need not carry the influence of bleached white hair and leather pants...

[Cureageous]

Thank you.

[Makiman]

Really, very very amazing! I like it, well done. Greetings from Canary Island.

[HaloPharoah]

I wanna start by saying im not bashin on anyone, but would it kill people to do a little research before throwing information out there. For anyone who is curious, there are three different versions of the eigenharp out there. There's the Alpha, which is being played in the video. The Tau, which is a smaller version, about 3/5 the size of the Alpha. And the Pico, which is very small and an introductory version of sorts for the two larger ones. The prices are $5600, $2600, and $560 respectively.

[furbymeat]

@HaloPharoah

i wonder why they don't have the tau on their website?

i know its around but its not on the eigenlabs website

[Spetznaz666]

Why the fuck do the damn Alphas cost $5600 I can buy a damn motorcycle for that much but god damnit I want one of these so much!

[furbymeat]

@Spetznaz666

buying any instrument is going to set you back a couple thousand bucks

lots of care and technology go into music

[Spetznaz666]

@furbymeat I know, im not saying this thing is great but for it to become remotely main stream and popular they need to lower the price! I could go out and buy a playable guitar for $80 and that's all I need. But $5600, I just feel that's a bit to much, that's like making $20 and hour and still needing to save for about a month or two to make that much money.

[Simolias]

if all you need is a guitar then you dont need the e-harp, if however you wanted to play guitar while turning looping beats on and off and switch to a piano or drums on the fly, then you would consider this ^^

[wagonjaws]

awesome ,just need tight one piece outfits and the future is now.

[nerdyharry]

hahahah key

[Ultravore1]

awesome :P

[KGB076]

yeah u really need to make a album. And teach finlay another move or two. LOL

[mrtessier]

Hell yes!

[userdann3]

yo you guys are sick man i keep playing this vid over and over sounds crazy. i second the motion for you guys to make a band.

[mrdevecseri]

sooooooo.... uhhh... i think you guys should make a fucken band. like

[skigerald]

[madknightjr]

1:37 is a nice beat

[devan616]

I just found out that you have to have a mac OS to use its program! :(

[Tiniuc]

LOLWUT

[aelder2259]

Originally, yes....but the PC version came out today (at least the Pico did).

[cmason87]

its called the Tau and its $2600.

[bloodybojack]

it looks like a rifle

[raiffymut]

This is what u call an EIGENJAM !!

[GravitySk8boards]

thats about $12700 worth of technology. lol dont drop it

[browndl03atl]

Don't forget the MacBook Pros they are connected to!

[Mikal7]

@browndl03atl

Yeah. Just imagine how much BETTER they will sound when the PC Software version comes out this year!

(Don't be a MAC whore)

[lundijuno106]

right!!

[IanSpencerOriginals]

um no its more like 16,500$ worth they are 5600 each

[drocK112287]

that is awesome sounds so cool hahaha.. great stuff guys

[Flippinpinoy09]

yeah I saw that episode of aots and that was fuckin' awesome! post it, post it!

[Mladin66]

FINLAY CROWTHER............. PLEASE POST the song you played on AOTS..... I got FREAKING goose pimples listening to it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

play at least 3minutes of it or a half and hour....!

[bloodybojack]

the beginning sounds like the beginning to cars by gary numan.

[aveart]

it cheaper than buying guitars, drums, amps, and mics.

[bltsandwich567]

@aveart all of that is cheaper than 57,000 dollars?

[bltsandwich567]

@Krazy4life19 oh i thought it was more lol 5600 that is defiantly a responsible price for a full band instrument

[SavvGawd]

dude this is fucking SICK...you guys are nasty with it

[LifeHat3d]

Nice cover, but maybe i'll wait while these will be more aforadable

[YesLoitering]

This.

[wizardninja]

there is also a 2500 dollar version and a 620 dollar version out there

[bloodybojack]

the guy on the left got the 2500 version, the pico

[millipeace]

@bloodybojack tau is the 2500 one

and the pico is way way way smaller homes

[bloodybojack]

@millipeace yeah my bad

[bastec666]

@bloodybojack no, the pico is extremely small. the guy on the left just has a different color.

the pico is much much much smaller, about 1/3 to 1/4 the size of those in the video.

[bloodybojack]

@bastec666 yeah i see that now.

[snoognz]

Love to see this in the hands of Mike Oldfield!

[d3dreaper]

I can honestly say i like ya'lls version of this song better than the original.. It's really rare for me to say that about covers/remakes/etc... but ya'll hit the mark on this song... I love it

[1a5c]

nice u guys are good :D

[xxxm3miguelxxx]

never seen this instrument till now you guys are fucking sick with it

[Dramaram]

haha, stuffed fox

[axelsteel05]

DORKIEST INSTRUMENT EVER!!!

[DylPickleman]

MOST RETARDED YOUTUBER EVER!!!

[axelsteel05]

@DylPickleman Creative formatting. Wherever did you get the idea?

[MissBophaLokei]

i so want to buy one of those too. but they're worth £3,950 <-- an amount which i won't be able to afford till next few years xD

[SpotterOz]

Heyup... They're around $5,000 to $6,000 USD

Money well spent if you're a professional musician to recoup the cost in gigs.

[heckler52]

woah i totally started fantasizing about matt bellamy rocking out on one of these things.

[briannawashere]

@heckler52 whoa me too!

[Kilen81]

Bloody awesome, i need more

[KillerFrettchen]

As far as I know the alpha does need a pc. In fact a pc won't do the trick - you need a macintosh.

Basically it is simply a very expensive controller.

[UVClay]

I'm pretty sure you can get by fine with a PC. Mac's are overrated.

[aaronbobaron]

Nah, at least not until they release the Windows software for it. As of now, they only have Mac OS versions

[MaximeDompierre]

Gosh.. I really want one of these XD

[latexbullet2]

isn't it just a controller?

[zebraluna]

My dad and I both played theramins. Try some of the classics.

Try some Latin.

[HeThatOwns]

Really an amazing "instrument" but I'm not sure that it would fare well with criticism if someone were to perform with it on stage -> audiences, skeptics like seeing musicians who have instruments that make the sound instead of generate it

[calvinandhodge]

Its the same as a keyboard would be..
