Diego Stocco - Experibass

[nyok443]

Grande Diego, veramente straordinario. Una composizione coinvolgente e immediata ma al contempo estremamente raffinata, la ricerca timbrica è audace e mai volgare. Bravo, bravo e ancora bravo=)!

[21380]

While playing AC Brotherhood I recogniced Experibass right away when it was played.

[SoundsandImages]

This is awsome, amazing idea and sounds, when can we have it as a sample lib? ;< )

[paoloromo]

Bravo! e complimenti per la parte nel ost di Zimmer!

[TurinDarein]

first 10 seconds...my heart stops beating ....

[laztoy1]

epic music at its finest!

[Yargajargsplargmyarg]

heh i remember finding this video on vimeo and thinking to myself "sounds like sherlock holmes.." only to find out it was your instrument , damn man i wish i had talent like that, you are amazing

[maestroforexful]

l think u have something in ur head lol but u realy2 briliant, l can

't make music but l love all music like this life

[TheEvsC]

Your work is fantastic! Maybe there's hope for humanity after all! Thank you very much for your efforts and art.

[scotthazellcomposer]

Wow, such innovative work here Diego. It's incredibly refreshing to hear and see someone working in this way, very inspiring. What kind of projects are you currently working on?

[titamelodi]

GRAZIEEEE

VIVA LA VITAAAA

SIEMPREEE

ci

[katpiercemusic]

I heard an interview with you on NPR and went looking for this... and also re watched Sherlock Holmes... and will be looking for any CD's you might have shortly. I love that great crunchy sound you get in the bass mixed with the percussive stuff. Excellent!

[MaxwellsAttourney]

pretty gimmicky if you ask me, but i give him props for doin what he wants.

[keeroyz]

Exactly the right man to work on the Omnisphere psychoacoustic section. Love it.

[dragonsember]

YOU ARE A MUSICAL GENIUS.

[51362879]

No thinking inside the box, here!

THANKS!

[aricacat]

how do you know things are going to work before you start making it? i mean, instuments have to be expensive

[DSSessionVideos]

@aricacat Actually I don't, I start building and adjust until it works.

You'll be surprised to see the amount of cheap parts or damaged instruments available around.

[22DexterFan]

As an independent filmmaker, I want to make a movie just for this music. As a fellow musician, I am inspired!

[thefrogger161]

This is awesome man! :) I can't believe you made such an amazing instrument- and you rightfully deserve getting on Assassins Creed! Keep it up!

[ObiTrev]

If Dr. Frankenstein and Mozart were abducted by aliens and forced to make music, then you would have Diego Stocco. Awesome stuff, one of my favorites.

Ever thought about taking an Aeolian harp and combining it with a vibraphone?

[youthXattack]

That was beautiful the way that you turned that into a percussion instrument

[michieldijk13]

Besides Assasins Creed, I think this music suits well in certain parts of the Hitman game series.

[keemocore]

one word:

INGENIOUS



[boswell255]

I love how you've somehow managed to get the sound of an 808 cowbell out of a double bass :P

[ToRunMusic]

Good music comes always from good artists and there performances. Diego is definitely one of those guys! Good job man! Very very cool! If you are in munih, whenever, let me know...

[ernevici]

Muy buena música, 

[mattia26rock]

TOP!!



[myhimothrr]

senza offesa e senza rancore, 'TACCI TUA! XD ho sofferto per il contrabbasso, ( anche perchè venderei un rene per poterne avere uno e poterlo mantenere )XD ma sentendo il risultato ne è valsa veramente la pena... grandioso!

[88fuzz]

at first I was like WAHHHHH!? What are you doing to that bass!? But then I heard what you were doing and I was like AMAZING

[helloimbubbles]

OMG! How can anyone dislike this...are they crazy...it's great!

[checkeredtoadstool]

This is just too epic.

[undeadpresident]

Pretty cool

[StopTheMoti0n]

musicians are crazy people. i love it.

[KintaromOe]

Sounds like some japanese drum stuff. Good work.

[TheDragonCael]

kind of reminds me of assassin's creed

[DSSessionVideos]

@TheDragonCael Yes, it's because you actually heard it on the soundtrack, I played as a soloist on that video game : )

[TheDragonCael]

@DSSessionVideos really? wow! That's awesome!

[BonnieDaFaz]

At first I was shocked to see what you were doing to such an expensive instrument, but then I smiled when you started playing. It sounds pretty awesome, and it reminded me of the music from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

[HEDSHOT]

What a crazy instrument

[amieluy]

I just fell in love with you!... and your music! =)

[NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Sounds like something from a movie soundtrack.

[TetrapakProdzekt]

he is a genious

[HollyRoseFowlCasson]

This is brilliant, this and the Bassforte, and I'm wondering if there's anywhere I can buy the track you linked to.

[NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

@HollyRoseFowlCasson I second that. I would buy and "Experibass" album right away if it existed.

[DeXound]

I can see this added in trillian :p

[mecca777]

I love it.!!

[traspatio]

you're simply just briliant

[ghaibboy]

YOU ARE TOTALLY "CRAZY" MAN... LOVE YOUR WORK SO MUCH !!!

[SneakyBastard5]

that bass is an mp3 all in one music  paradise!!

[Indication92]

amazing!

[22DexterFan]

Now here's an artist. Love your work; you expand the medium in great ways. You're the next Hans Zimmer! Enjoyed Bassoforte, too.

[clarksvegaseast]

did anyone else say the same thing when they came around his shoulder to show the experibass.....'holllllllly...­..'

[Anadune0903]

awesome

[LinusDino]

Wow - you've got an amazing way of creating music. It sound so incredibly deep and epic!!

Veeeery good mastering!!!

[Denkyuu]

Yeah, barely noticed you on the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood credits! It made me feel special when I recognized your name and the instrument. Looking back, though, I could totally hear you in the background. Nice going!

[bobbieholbrook]

And the God of all instruments descended from the sky.

And it's name,

Was Experibass!

[MrSmoothpie]

In my opinion you define good instrumental music :)

[turntapzap]

Genial.

[CriticsConfession]

Diego, I just finished Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and while the credits were rolling, I was browsing Facebook on my iTouch. The one time I decided to actually look up was during the music. "Music By: Whatever His Name Is. Vocal Solo: Whatever Name. Acoustic Guitar: Whatever Name. Experibass: Diego Stocco." HOW COME YOU HAVEN'T PROMOTED THE FACT THAT YOU WORKED ON ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED GAMES OF 2010!?

[blackangelblog]

Hey, I'm a great fan of your work, I hope to see more of it!! :)

[Jabaro67]

Diego sei davvero un "cacciatore di suoni" dalla fantasia ineguagliabile...fai "suonare" qualsiasi cosa...sapresti far suonare pure una pizza margherita!

[drumonzen]

great!!! nice working space BTW!!!

[shugalluful]

Its funny how so many people automatically associated this music w/ a visual component,i.e., movie or video game soundtracks. I think its great...but for me personally....this music stands completely on its own with no need for any visual context. Truly great stuff....I could listen to this instrument & your composition for an entire CD with my mind fully engaged w/ the complexities and subtleties.....just f-in' brilliant. BRAVO!!

[NOXBEATZ]

What monitors/headphones are you using? Clean mixes man.. looks like a rode nt1k on the bottom of the bass? Love the fork as a percussion , again..inspirational

[fbudinichd]

Man. I love you.

[kieran360]

is the song for sale?

[worlddictator85]

This is the song that plays at the center of the earth...

[88Agatka]

You are Amazing! If I were a film director, you would be the first person I would go for producing soundtrack. Thank you for your work in 'Sherlock'. Keep on developing your passion! Wish you all the best!

[KubaSpore]

Hans Zimmer would be proud.

[burnedsoma]

Cheers from Russia, that was awesome beyond belief. Thank you for this musical delight.

[DoomShifter]

Has anyone noticed that Diego is in the credits for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood... while playing the Experibass? That's how good he is.

[alisax]

F R A N K E N B A S S !

[indovinakisnLN]

Italian people love you

[King31395]

WOW!!! Holy sh#%!!

That was absolutely bizarre...AND you made simply the coolest sounds from this instrument! Fastastic! Bravo!

Just that you had the nerve to cut apart other violins to put this together and try this idea out...is amazing! That takes balls!

Brilliant job, Mr Diego!

[ZebraMalte]

first i was like:

WTF is he doing with these wonderful instruments

but then i was like:

IT'S THE BEST DAMN THING I'VE EVER SEEN

[izzo4lp]

basskenstein

[SamIves85]

This is kind of how sounds are made for film, TV and video games and projects similar to this are within everyones reach. Thanks for being an inspiration!

[wollehabibi]

Nice :-)

[tennek100]

Wow awesome dude !!

[clickHEREforlife]

59 people don't use forks.

[89SamT]

my mind = blown!

[Dimka205]

wow... bravo good sir :- )

[Talon4ce]

I dearly hope you will be featured in the soundtrack for the Sherlock Holmes sequel.

[dimauru]

Это прекрасно! Я занимаюсь звуковым оформлением - и я в восторге от фантазии маэстро!

-------------------------

It is fine! I am engaged in sound design - and I in delight from fib of the maestro!

[Synthesized13]

this is so amazing. 0_0

[xkalivasx]

i like the way you think about the music!

[MarkoRuzinOfficial]

anyone notice that the last sound of this video is the first sound of "discombabulated"? or at least quite suggestive of it :)

[DSSessionVideos]

@MarkoRuzinOfficial Hi, yes you heard right, that's me playing on Sherlock Holmes, I'm one of the soloists : )

[theoriginalmcsquare]

@DSSessionVideos When I first saw this video a good 2 years back, I thought: this should definitely be on a movie soundtrack. I guess I wasn't the only one with that idea in mind :P

[Parkerhdeb]

he's got a double bass, a cello, violin, and a viola all in one instrument! and a bass drum just for.........kicks. lol

[DowneyAdmirer]

Please please PLEASE put out an album.

PLEASE.

[1Rockbilly]

I bow deeply to the mastery of this great musician and improvisational genius! Rock on brother!

[deftonesfan11]

Man you are a genius! Sounds great.....

[Zizrastaen]

This would be perfect for a horror/action adventure movie.

One of the best pieces of music I ever heard. Genius!

[101MTL]

Amazing, best video/idea/revelation i've seen in a long time

[danielaparr]

sei spettacolare

[Kefviranah1]

This would make epic theme music to an action movie chase scene.. I can totally see that..

[wfmgeraci]

@Kefviranah1 i totally agree!!! diego is awsome.

[KingMaamoun]

One Man = One Band :D

[amambah]

holy cow. intense. awesome.

[AceAvena]

this sounds like a movie song that took place in a jungle!

[BrainstrainVideo]

This is the track I am looking forward to seeing on your bandcamp site Diego, I got the rest ;)

[bluemasterlol]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! XD

[LaBone99]

I'd very much like to make a similar style video. I know this is a techy question, but how did you put this together? Particularly mixing the audio recorded through the Cam mic and audio captured through the DAW? The sync issues seem daunting - how the devil did you do it?

[Fantasvale]

Diego sei un genio... :-O

[hanxopx]

Awesome

[x360z0cker]

do you make music for videogames or movies?

sounds just like something like that!

[psych0]

@x360z0cker he does. look for his other videos.

[davidgtr]

You are unbelievable the way u think out of the box!

[mintruffle]

Wow! This piece really touched me

[Daryoosh69]

amazing,thats all i can say !

[Jhonbxl]

Result is surprsingly good. Makes me think of film scores, I'm pretty sure this would be amazing on some action or monster video.

[supadorf24]

This gave me chills, but in a good way.

[Masturbassest]

!!!!!!whaaat!!! thats awsome!!!! u do the coolest stuff dude keep makin music!!! *subscribes*

[cosmitchny]

Discovering new sounds is one thing, putting them together in such an intriguing and fascinating way is completely another story. Ingenious, love your music!

[RyaVids]

So Kick Ass!!! :D

[throbule]

Diego - This really is quite the most extraordinary piece of music and playing I've heard in a very long time - it is no wonder the great Hans Zimmer asked you to work with him.

Me? I'm just madly jealous (and highly appreciative) of you both.

[illspirit1965]

wow dude that was incredible

[sammacloskey]

you are brillliant, you have a great sense and understanding of rythm :)

[GENJU77]

Wow... and here I am only just pondering about making a two-string electric stick bass with all the old bass strings I got laying around. Loved the kick pedal on it too, do you have to go softer on it or can you really go whack-a-mole on it without fear of it punchin through?

[gabrieloliveiramusic]

Crazy genius!

[altamirodn]

Sounds like a movie soundtrack of the best kind.

Incredible job, I am amazed!

[littlesister327]

that is the single most awesome string instrument I have ever seen!! i wish this was around when i took up the cello.... maybe i would have played for longer!!!

[Chilcat590]

this basse is the single most beatifull thing if seen in years ! and the sound that comes out of it the best thing iv heard in years !

[Doomhamma5]

You are a true visionary in the music world. I was intrigued when you posted the Bassoforte video and i came upon this one. I love them both because they are so unique and amazing. Keep making hybrid instruments that nobody would claim until they heard them!

[blakerson09]

Fantastic!

[yoyoyoymon]

The 55 who dislike this video have no taste in art and music

[babidipu]

coool!!

[animesquirt]

I can't help watching your videos and not just listening to them XD

[KingHarkinian]

who needs an orchestra when you've got a guy who makes instruments like that and plays on them! xD

[sandynordahl1964]

I was in pain at first watching you saw on an acoustic bass, But then Nirvana! This is amazing! Please keep up the incredible work. Bass Rules!

Thank you.

[lauraalittle]

Love the innovation & pure creativity. Thanks, DS, for a peek at the process and an avant garde sound that's actually a pleasure to listen to. Please keep up the great work!

[masafisto]

You are incredible man !!

[LucieFurr85]

I wish I were this creative. This was awesome.

[vomiol]

this is fantastic. inspiring beyond words

[KillerInstinctXIX]

Whoa! You and "That 1 Guy" should do a song together. That would be awesome.

[thinkglobalfuturenow]

Whoa.

Acoustic caffeine - I am an older woman with aspergers (autism) and get endorphine rush from twinkie lights... now this too. Better than drugs. I think I just built new synapses. Thanks. sf

[stevemangler1]

I wish you a ton of money for your work - you deserve it !

[duke69able]

You should send this to Blizzard and tell them that you're doing the soundtrack to Diablo 3. Not ask them, tell them.

[2illusion2]

wow THIS is AWESOMEEEE!!!!! EPIC music :D KUDO's to you! and i recognise the awesome sound from Sherlock Holmes

[Jmaccaable]

You must go through a lot of instruments

[flignotme]

Today is the first time I've encountered your work and I've been looking at everything I can find from you on Youtube. Your work is creative, inspiring and original. I've seen greatness here. Thank you for sharing your talent! I'll be looking for your name regularly from now on.

[rhett443]

What kicker are you using?

[fetor41]

You're like Jónsi, Gavin Harrison, David Gilmore and somehow John Cusack all thrown into one man. Great work sir!

[thekiyote]

As an armature luthier, you, my friend, are an inspiration. Especially when it comes to experimenting with new and crazy instruments! Thank you for these videos!

[Mikeytitz]

You are truly a master. Fan-freakin-tastic.

[lisamann]

I love the weird digeridoo sounds that you get from it. What's unique about it is that everything is from the same resonance chamber.

[justmeduhfull]

Im gonna subscribe

[FourPartFox]

Wow... this is amazing! Seems to me to be a mix of tribal, electronica, and raw expression. Really moves me. Love it!

[wesdsomething]

BRAVO

Excellent as always. Keep up the good work.

@TheSchimmi An awesome, awesome monster.

[girotube]

LOL man I'm putting this one on my facebook!!

Wish I had the time to mess around like this... You're the man!!!

[Jorashima]

I felt alive listening to that beautiful piece.

[EverydayAdventures]

If anyone asks you what instrument you play, you can now respond with:

"oh, um I play the 12 string bass."

[LordZeratulX]

@EverydayAdventures ''and the mutan super-piano, tree, bonzai and also sand :)''

[51362879]

@EverydayAdventures LOL> But actually I believe it's a 16 string bass. I think it actually has 4 necks. Yes. Stop on 2:27 and you see all 4

[Marinemiketobe]

I just gave a thumbs up for building the monster! =D

[mahioper]

It was AR Rehman whom i used to follow for his music. But such a kind of music??? first time in my life.......

All hats down to you..........

[aylera]

[buttertaco]

I appreciate your audio skill!

[DeathNest94]

really cool i kinda make this abstract music with spoons and ... bowls and some wicked sounds that i've recently discovered from my guitar...

[hisvorpalsword]

awesome. can I get the tabs?

[mikamiller2008]

This song could easily be in a suspense part of a movie (samurai movie, kung fu or even horror movie, scene of somebody running in the woods or in a crop lol)
