Noise-Ode to the Neptune Audio Mixer

[rogo324]

Hi I was watching your video, I have a neptune mixer powerd 610p but is broken and I wonder if the few schematic diagram of the amplifier, if you would greatly appreciate you could provide me

[ajvlvXyi]

Some nice Robert Wyatt-style vocals would go beautifully with your sound!

[sonictrasher]

That. sounds. awesome.

[Gencturk92]

Terminator theme, nice

[abbaarydumbfuck]

ddoooppeee

make some tapes maaannn

[ashfordaisyak]

Tapes are deployed weekly, to be sure. 'Tapedropping' is my forte and poverty demands it.

[chuy655]

lol you cant make music with that i gonna tell you what i told my math teacher that bull crap

[DRAN4612]

I love this.

Show more of the spring thing you made - that thing was fantastic!

I hate it how everyone has to moralise sound, like there are some combinations of frequencies that are not good together. or that anything without a 4/4 rhythm is "BAD". That's the equivalent of saying, "You may wear a shirt and trousers, but never green and red."

anyway, I enjoyed that - didn't care too much for the mixer but cool nonetheless.

[MrHungryal]

some how this sickly noise makes me laugh lol

[Huuumanuuure]

That's so cool...

I think it's his mother's bosom did the trick.

HAHAHA, funny shit, dude.

[nofix3]

i think this is the best thing i have ever seen on the youtubes

[mattmylescheesys]

MAKE IT STOP!!!!

[simonhamid]

OMG My ears!

[marypoppins002]

hey ive got a neptune 611 and it works pretty well. happen to know where one could find a manual or some other information about it?

[chrishove123]

metal machine music number 2 me thinks lol

[Biopharmer]

BEDSPRNGS

[ajdicks]

not to be rude but, why take a warm analog mixer with old-school reverb and run horrible unmusical noises through it? then why make a video of said horrible noise to demonstrate the analog warmth of the mixer?

[ashfordaisyak]

Because I'm a comedian

[needlescrape123]

What the hell? I cannot understand any of this...Do you just need some broken equipment and make noise? What do people get from this emotionally? Is it rage? Is it a protest on typical music?

[ashfordaisyak]

There's no broken equipment here. The Neptune is a marvellous mixing machination which should never be desecrated. What you're hearing is, regretfully, my own incompetence at making good music. I must surely be "not all there"! Or else it is merely a failed study in staccato resonance. Forgive all this.

[DropBassNotBombs]

fucking awesome

[drrzr12345]

Dan - it's so great to see the Neptune again! I got it in 74 and I can see it's in good hands. It isn't the music I make, but it's the music you make! So keep up the good work! I'm proud of you!

All the best, Dr. Robert

[cromlek]

SANE))))))))))))))))))))))))))­))

[thewhitebarrywhite]

Nice at 2:34-38

[zcrewd]

ever heard about headphones?

[PureSynthesis]

You are one crazy mo*fo!

I've seen some mad sh*t but a synth made out of bed springs is the craziest thing yet.

It sounds like an industrial sander.

:)

[vicha777]

...o yeah ...this is a fucking something ...you are fucked up mate ...i realy love it ...send him your new demo ...

[vaspers]

this is post-boring, tape-dropping Brill Y Ants, it's slimpy stats!

[ReapearingDoubleChin]

are those bed springs being used as body contacts?

[NoRestForTheObsessed]

dope

[DeafeningTheDaisies]

that's hot, I dig it

[TheWhiteNationalist]

私は打撃を受ける白い民族主義者、しかし、今では美しいを最後に­して利得を尊重します。しかし、それで構わない。

[DJmisplacedmarbles]

yes! good stuff. now stick a beat on it, TUNE

[wckdplsh]

awesome! hey, you don't perchance know anything about neptunes's 826 sound reinforcement mixer, do you? haven't found any info on it yet, its preamps sound great...

[ashfordaisyak]

I haven't heard of this Neptune 826 curiosity. Do its preamps sound great=great or great=grate (i.e. grate=sick)? The latter offers higher romance, methinks. Tangentially, I did see a beautifully grotty Neptune 410P mixer on ebay awhile ago.

[digtbk]

FYI, you played a slightly flat note around 2:19.

[ThomasBarnham]

Wicked noise, loved it!

[jdjlc83]

ese no es un genero ni estilo musical, solo es una gran basura contaminante y perturban para nuestros oídos

[ashfordaisyak]

The vast majority of 'estilos musicales' are a 'gran basura' anyway, so I can't see why this warrants your finger waving.

[odakueffect]

Now this is owsome stuff!!!!!!

[stalag3333]

brilliant.  reminds me of the blender guitar pickup incident of 2006 wich lead to the demise of the studio monitors i owned at the time.

[bottlescrew]

why don't you cut your hair? (you animal you)

[pattern101]

oooooooh fat boy gets angry. (you animal you)

[pattern101]

you still haven't cut your hair fat boy (you animal you)

[tokenacc]

but hey, w8t .. 7 years and that's all? How ya 'r gonna explain this to Neptune, bieatch?

[tokenacc]

muahahhha yea

[damnbdboy]

Mother fuckeR

[cretin4321]

This is what i hear when i close my ears... How do the springs interact with the audio signal?

[tommica]

wow this was cool! :D nice noise.

[Karpalo11]

The ending was nice

[xms32]

I like it

[ericthemannn]

is this really a form of music?

[Vi3tSurviv3r]

that was a total waste of time u suk wat kind of music is that

[ashfordaisyak]

Hello Vi3tSurviv3r, that's an interesting question and contemptuous statement. It's not so much a question of 'what kind of music' is that, but 'what kind of noise is that' (hence the title clearly bears 'noise'). The answer to this is that it is the barest acoustic electromechanical freeform. Indeed, it must be said that this kind is the most likeliest to impart a sense of temporal angst perhaps borne of residual memories of machine-labour and its lack of enlightening conclusions or something.

[panickingjuggler]

christ, it sounded like when bill hicks does his impression of satan. what was that noise right at the end? more of that!

[psychedelica59]

it sounds like a demon possession

[divideroot]

I think you fulfilled his dream that was great noise peace in

[drohnwerks]

Awesome :))))

[nanantr]

-MAD-

would be glad to hear this music live, hope you show.

[celethon]

three words.. What...the...fudge!

[Pighood]

I'm not worthy, but I expect I will be my next week or so.

[timdrage]

Superb!!

[jon666poop]

i thought you said you didnt make any beautiful music....that was orgasmic

[ZiggaC]

wow great noise.

[richyroolahs]

There is nothing quite like the sharp and haggard blare or fucked up analogue signals. Dr.Roberts would be proud. I await your musical fruits with baited breath, like a child on a quiet christmas eve.

Nice noises, keep it up mate.

[brandonut]

anyone that has any affiliation with radio is an idiot

[ashfordaisyak]

Hmmm?

[curalia]

scary........it hurts my ears (im wearing ear phones)

[Industro]

So am I.

Pussy.

[tiradorfranco2]

The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. You have fulfilled Dr. Robert's wish. Brilliant.

[Bimm3rcc]

what was the point?

[Radiokid1010]

BTW, I think next time, you should use real music instead of this stuff that we don't care about. What type of music is this? Next time, post videos that everyone can watch.

[improvisations]

I would love to see an example of a video that 'everyone' enjoys.

[Radiokid1010]

I was wrong about the worm video, this one is the worst yet. No one wants to hear this stuff. All we hear is noise. Let's see something better than this. How about Animal Music Part 1.

[timothyreal]

How do you know nobody wants to hear this? There's a very large underground of noise artists who play music that sounds very similar to this.

[djamorpheus]

beautiful!!

[orngejuce]

this is what its about man. old bedsprings, exposed wires, and an old mixer. you are a fucking god!

[himckybam1]

scary........it hurts my ears (im wearing ear phones)

[swarm69]

i love your sounds there so absoloutley industrial its fantastic ..anyway you shoudl sample thjis stuff layer it and make more cohearent tracks from it thats fantastic

ps ..and its realy dramatic woo! i nearly died laffing there haha ace.. im so glad im english i dont think the yanks will find it as funny :)

[improvisations]

I'm a 'yank' and I can detect such subtle forms of humor as glaring sarcasm.. (:

[MisfitDoctor]

but the Doctor is an enemy to the Daleks. exterminate!!! exterminate!!!

[Industro]

The doctor would be proud of you.

[DaanDobber]

hahahahhaahaha great

[masterbassist]

i find this more on the side of art but on the other hand music is art so this can be classified as music or art

[ashleebabe]

what do you call this shit lol its all noise wheres the so called music dude

[Industro]

And what the fuck would you know?

[pyexperience]

j'aime l'intro ,l'achat sur ebay ...

j'aime l'utilisation des resorts de sommier.

[atomicwave]

You're a nine inch nails fan, aren't you?

[idprism]

you know, occasionally i find some resonance or structure in your noise/projects (eg 2;38+ in this video), and its somewhat pleasant. i think that most of what youve made is a bit too harsh-sounding for my tastes, though. bit unfortunate, since i tend to like your ideas.

[laurie3df]

Great stuff :-)

[kbsuperstar]

I don't get it

[amcsdmi]

hillarious, haha

[Seth38101]

hmmmm :\

[charlienutsak]

wow... you have tried for 7 years and all you have is that?

[hyphenunderscore]

interesting.

[junosix]

Dan! I've bee-n meaning to send you another of our bi-annual love letters. It's absolutely comforting to see (hear) you're still hurting us with the aural equivalent of a cheese grater.

Hope you're not dead,

Your darling Juno-bear.

[kinder1990]

that was the shittiest thing ive ever seen

[ashfordaisyak]

What did you expect? Bowling for Soup?

[MrMuskOx]

ignore the haters. They don't get it.

[eatmychild]

I LOVE IT

[monnie110]

LOL! More noise please! - Stephen Jesse Bernstein

[improvisations]

I could jive to this groove, although a teddy boy I am not.
