  • sublime :)

  • This Machine is incredible...

    heard about it down the pub last night and thought i would check it out..

    a thing of the future for sure!!

    Would defo like to do a colab...

  • This is about as cool as it gets!!

  • Stravinsky would have loved this.

  • really bad ass!!!

  • I MADE THEM!

    yahhh!

  • I heard this before I first listened to aphex twin, and when i heard Nannou, this jumped into my mind immediately

  • WONDERFUL!!!

  • amzing job!

  • amazing!!!!!

  • Very impressive setup, indeed

  • ahahah!

    my machine

  • Is there any way I could hear the entire piece? or perhaps a score? I would love to arrange this for pit percussion ensemble with your permission

  • yeah thats sounds cool , you need to contact felix thorn about this his is the creator/composer

  • This is pretty cool. Now I want Felix to make a machine that sounds like a Hupfeld Sinfonie-Jazz orchestrion!

  • Amazing - very musical and technically staggering.

  • Fantastic!

  • Nice and beautiful.

    I'm working also with self-made instrument.

    If you have interest, check it out my page also.

    Thanks for the uploading.

  • Brilliant! And then some!

  • This is SO damn inspiring!!!!!!!

  • Very well done. 5*

  • Aphex Twin for the Win!.. Damn i just loved this...

  • Amazing.

  • Fantastico!!!!

  • mindblowing beautifulness

  • c'est génial

    Awesome ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

  • Brilliant; both machine and filming.

  • Love it!

  • Hi tomswindell, the video upload I made(and requested as video response) is dedicated to you. Nice job of the Felix' Machines..

  • why does Aphex Twin's Drukqs/monket drummer spring to mind???

  • Drukqs, my thoughts exactly!

  • yeah sound familiar yet different

  • This composition is strangely addictive, it's better than plenty of officially released tracks imo. Will an MP3 version be available eventually?

  • Mais c'est trop fort =D

  • I take it that it is all done with midi but very well done indeed.

  • Wow Amazing!!

  • This, my friend, is an outstanding piece of cinematography! 5/5 stars - Well Done!

  • I love the modern Brother's Quay feel. And the HD = I'm wet.

  • Available at all fine Guitar Center and Sam Ash locations near you.

  • click HD....amazing

  • And on August 29th, 2009.... Felix's Machine became self aware.

  • In a panic, they try to pull the plug..

  • Comment removed

  • And Felix's Machine fights back.

  • genius machine...

  • I can't stop watching!:)

  • Nice.

  • WTF

  • amazign!

  • Hey, I am doing doino toppling. So if you wanna come film my hobby, you are free to come! contact me please!

  • I want more! Great job!

  • Intense but creative.

  • Ausgezeichnet!

  • AWESOME!

  • Intense...

  • tres chouette

  • Beautifully done! Real world Animusic. Great machines and a well-done video. A+++

  • Epic.

  • dude reminds me of robots a movie with music with crazy lights

  • ELEMENTS

  • cool

  • cool

  • very nice

  • very impressive. what type of interface is used to control the machines? can you load/play other songs?

  • Don't you get the urge to smash this machine with a sledge hammer ?  I suppose art affects people with different reactions, but this is the feeling I get off this piece.

  • Why?

  • I think I would enjoy smashing the crap out of this music machine with a heavy axe while it was playing. It would be cool to see the bits fly everywhere and also see how long the music lasted.

  • that'd be awesome!

  • That's Nuts !!

  • Kool vid!

  • yeah yeah thats what i am talking about this is the type of video people out there should be making not like other videos i have seen

  • this is goddamn amazing.

    aphex much? haha; i kid i kid...

  • hint of Drum and Bass there

  • at least, not for this moment, but it has got a tendency to get mixed up, sometimes. However, when I do play, I use digital drums, so you can call this a salute to the unnatural acts of instrumental process .

  • I Love this

  • it wasn't supposed to be electric, since regular drums and piano are not run by electrical impulses. But strangely mechanical.

  • Waouw;;;its really beautifull!!

    what a good work,and good good imagination ...

    c'est très beau!! quel travail et quelle imagination vous avez!!

    bravo vraiment

  • the reason i thought of those title sequences was because they looked similar in style to some of the effects you achieve here with out of focus light. and they had such amazing wee jingles

  • man i loved this so much and also malusi, bassekou kouyate in london (amazing), and all the earthen parts. maybe you can help me? im obsessed with the title sequences before films in odeon cinemas. theres a new batch now that they show, but for about 5 years maybe there were these amazing title sequences. do you know anything about them??? its a very long shot i know that, but maybe you remember them?!

  • Whats occuring at 0:40 to 0:43? Is it the arcing that is the desired sound, or is it a mechnical sound that similar, like a pice of wire being dragged over a finely pitched washboard type effect. I can't quite work out how that sound is being produced.

  • looking at what's making the noise, i don't think it's electricity arcing. it seems to be made by a motor spinning a cog against something and the teeth of the cog are causing it to make the sound. if you look closely you can see it spin then stop when the sound is made.

    i can see why it could be confused with electricity arcing, it sounds very much like it and the colour of the light flashed is blue/white too, but i think that's just another LED.

  • This is great... you should be filming my work :p

  • is there a math sequence for this sync?this is divine!!

  • simplement magique, quelle création... succulent mélange entre sciences et art. cela mérite des applaudissement...

  • I have smashed stuff up similar to this. before Christmas we smashed up a piano that had been in our house for a few years. It was working OK but I cant play it and we needed the space. I completely splintered it and burnt it in a couple of hours. My father in law was a bit pissed when he saw the empty space and said he's take it and then I told him I'd smashed the shit out of it. You should have seen his face; not happy.

  • I have smashed stuff up similar to this. before Christmas we smashed up a piano that had been in our house for a few years. It was working OK but I cant play it and we needed the space so I trashed it in the garden with an axe and we burnt the pieces.

  • I think this is a simple midi signal sent by a computer

  • yeah this is being controlled by midi computer. I hope its an atari

  • simply fabulous :-)

  • i like it very much!! thank you!! :)

  • the beginning reminds me of a washing machine with pennies in it :). This is pretty cool design

  • This was truly amazing. Awesome filming skills and the machine is so pro.

  • the machine, impressive,i like how the vid showed all sort of angles while the music played..but it gota sorta draggy..it lacked the video playing honestly..maybe if you show the other half like how the machine was made and programmed..that would have pulled off..

    btw guys, want to share with you about this new blog that shows only the best youtube videos, reviewed, scripted and discussed!

  • GENIUS!!!! That is sooo favourited!!!!!!!!

  • Repus looc

  • however, this was meant to be like an art form, I think.

  • people don't share the same taste when it comes to music, I learned that a looong time ago. How about you wake up a little and realize that too. I can put my comment and critizise every friggin' genre, if I want to.

  • wow its actually quite small.

    i was thinking it was gonna be huge

    nice!

  • sucks...

  • Needs more cowbell.

  • Hahaha,good one,you made my day.

  • ha ha! that is a good one!! but i do love this vid very much for some reason... it's one of my favorites!

  • i think the machine is genius thank you

  • love it ! very nice filming, genius idea

  • this actually is really cool

    people have to have an understanding for film making or cinematography to appreciate it, or just good taste

  • fuck everyone THIS IS AMaZING!!!!!!!!!!!

  • reminds me of the cover of Aphex Twin's drukQs album.

  • wow. another excuse for musical LAZINESS.

    but all the drums sound terrible, so its ok. machines do not know proper technique.

  • Sooo, I'm guessing you also hate "rave" music, and anything with synth. First off, just cause YOU PERSONALLY don't like something doesn't mean you can say "..Another excuse for musical LAZINESS." Second, music is something that is only good to the creator, the fact that people enjoy music is purely taste, therefore all music is good music. Third, if you can build a machine that dose a better job, go ahead and do so. Forth, when you get angry at this post, go listen to your rap.

  • Dear sir:

    Would it not be easier for Mr. Felix Thorn, to utilize a midi computer with modules, program it, and let it play by itself, just as todays modern music is created and recorded today?

    Good day.

  • super,rien a dire a part que c que du bon,j'adore

  • the electromechanical pulse was first viewed from the inside of a piano. Notice the almost coppernized shades of the reflecting atmosphere almost camouflaging while hitting the steel-cans.

  • Génial! magnifique quel beau boulot technique et musical! super, j'adore!

  • just awesome ! i love it

  • sorry for my english ^^

    yes I will see your profile and videos, how you do that ? automaticly or manually ?

  • that was good

  • Very nice... but. How come we don't listen to the "noise" of the electromechanical parts and just the music?

  • very original...very awesome =)

  • Very Impressive!!!!!!

    I love electronics, electromechanics, and music........to see it all play together this beautifully..........I tip my hat to you all.

  • Pretty damn cool!

  • I like this

  • interesting.

  • Mdog 2700 Approves this video !

  • josiah. the pree teen years called. they want their ladies back.

  • hi! ahm... scuseme but you say if somebody needs something we can ask u

    cand u make a film about strees? something urban but without people, something caotic?

    contactme

  • but can it play ska/punk/hardcore/death metal?

  • Pure genius!

  • mesmerizing.

  • he should call this the industrial orchestra! I want to shake the hand of whoever filmed this! amazing!

  • why does everyone always want to credit the filmmaker? I can think of many many people who can make a short film... but have you ever seen anyone make a machine like this before?! Exactly.

  • i think credit to the guy who built and arranged it is a given. If it makes you feel any better:

    HOLY CANNOLI! NICE MACHINE! LOVE THE SONG!

  • A given?! Hmmm, seems odd, especially when you read how many other people think like you - that the filmmaker is entirely responsible. Besides it's the editor who's done a great job in the film, that would have been a nightmare to synch with the music, forget the camera guys. And yes it does make me feel better.

  • Impressive, though I've seen better
