RE: Show me your genitals

[Phroggy93]

sounds more like a fart out of a tin :D

[OnlyByFishStandards]

sounds like a constipated moose

[mastarkill]

or goose

[bradlycriswell1990]

Lmao I was not expecting that.

[distefano71]

Oi mush, take a break from being a daddy and post more videos of Lochead musical mentalness. How about a vid of you playing a sink trap like a saxophone? btw, what happened to the anti-grav helmet? Unable to get a patent? ;-)

[subgerocallidus]

A reed mouthpiece like a basson mouthpeice might work better.

[brianpatrickhill]

Lets get a bit of those SYNTHS mate! I see an OLD Arp and Minimoog back there!

[meljaymusic]

you're kidding right?

[lochead1]

No. Deadly serious. :-I

[hvolkhart]

music to my ears

[maniac2011]

its for sucking not blowing wahaha

then just add some water

[puppies21616]

your lips farted

[truthwarrior89]

HAHAHAHA!! I watched this like five times... o man... very funny! LOL

[zevvay]

ROFL!! THAT SOUNDS TERRIBLE!XD

[fedsteri]

These are very awesome musical homemade instruments! I hope you can make more!

[andyboi95]

LOL!!

[prakdapb]

my butt hole sounds better than that thang

[Zeppelin4962]

LOL! the sound is quite similar

it looks like it takes a lot of effort to play though. props to you!

[54spiritedwill54]

vow realy melodic instrument

[y2k2012now]

ha, thats what I sound like on a trumpet

[robinart366]

Ow, mate, that wuz bloody awful. Nice try though.

[PureT3x4n]

this is music quality for a king!=)

[ChristianDavis629]

That was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard...*tear*

5/5

[bonnyjishop]

I'm sure you Farted towards the end of that clip!!!LMAO!!!!!! best tune ever!!! Go i bet you're laughing your arse off too!!!!!!

[lochead1]

Whilst I admit it sounded like I released a little tommy squeaker I can in fact assure you that my bum cheeks remained tightly clenched throughout the entire exercise. No, honest!

[MikeIsMe18]

haha tommey squeaker....bum cheeks...

[slovibond]

@lochead1 You win at the 'Being British' game.

[shalalaszwee]

Lol! so hilarious! You should come here in Canada and use it in the woods, I bet you can call a moose, this sounds like a male desperate for mating!

[dspaila0man]

ahhjaja hajajahajaja hajaja

[karenboox33]

Haha. At least you tried. :]

[username695]

that was the most amazing sound I have ever heard....

[vince117]

LOL. That sound really made me laugh.

[mooman436]

Good effort!

To me, it sounds like a trumpet without the mouthpiece.

Try widening the opening of the mouthpiece so you can buzz your lips more effectively- that may make it sound better.

[ohsocute93]

lol, it sounds like a dying cow

5 stars!!

[coyotecrow4]

@ohsocute93 That's what my 5th grade trumpet teacher told me... I'm now a flute player. LOL

[daviddaddy]

it sounds like a constipated rooster lmao

[theholy0]

I think something that might improve the sound is something as simple as a lid to the 'dustbin' to reduce the acoustic loss. In a sense, by reducing the size of the hole, it would compress the sound waves/particles and would greatly improve the harmonics. Disclaimer: In my own opinion.

[ebake74]

For some reason this video and responses are the funniest thing i've seen on you tube. Out of curiosity, did you happen to pass that class. I hope the professor was at least deaf, if not blind also

[lochead1]

Haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Um, yeah, believe it or not I got one of, if not the best mark in the class!? I think the tutors sympathised that I didn't know what it would sound like when I was building it, they also appreciated me trying to come up with a new instrument - which sounds easy until you try it. Also, the competition was crap - some bloke put an elastic band over a f*cking shoe box!

[theater40]

sound like a fat dude with really bad gas

[jat388]

sounds like a dieing farting ox or boar thing

[Magnetohydrodynamics]

LoL good job

[wetdog54]

Try a baritone or tuba mouthpeice 20 - 30 bucks easier to play tho

[SpeedzterZ6]

Maybe i could sound better if it was made out of something different. Maybe brass. Or, you could do something with it, since you're the expert with acoustics. I'm only 11, I'm just guessing.

[Nephalen]

this looks like a ghost catcher that the ghostbusters would use

[mylomaster]

looks like a toilet to me

[lochead1]

Bloody hell! What kind of toilets do you have in Holland!?

[jat388]

lollollollol

[nelinksmas]

vow realy melodic instrument

[thegmanyo]

oh, well. At least it looks cool. probably would sound better with a professional trumpetier. Kinda cool, 4*.

[wolfhunt123]

yea, I've seen professional horn players use a tube(size varying on the octave of the instrument, longer for lower), a funnel(larger for lower), and a mouthpiece of teh instrument being imitated and it sounded amazing...of course they were all University professors lol

[ChiTownShakeDown]

did you say malarky? that is some secret ass shit i havnt heard in a long time. if you studied acoustics what are you doing with those egg crates? thats an old audio engineer wives tale.

[lochead1]

I can't believe I said malarkey... Don't think I've said it in my life before or since - at least I hope I haven't!

Sorry to disagree with you but the saying that egg crates are an audio engineers wives tale is an, err, old wives tale

Egg crates reflect sound waves at an angle and so help to disperse any standing waves that the room is prone to. They also absorb sound waves and increase the surface area of a wall. Have a look at acoustic tiles, they look like foam egg boxes for a reason

[ChiTownShakeDown]

haha, malarky. well your right, its better than having flat surfaces. and those standing waves will bring havoc upon your low end. i guess i wouldn't call it a permanent solution. Ever been in an anachoic chamber? man its crazy, it made me sick to my stomach not having any reference reflections.

[lochead1]

Yeah, they had one at a TV studio that I used to work at. It was used for voice over's and continuity stuff.

I know what you mean; it certainly is bizarre in there.

[ChiTownShakeDown]

voiceovers? thats crazy, did it sound natural?

[lochead1]

Yes, perfect. I suppose you don't want the Voice Over guy to sound like he's in a bathroom or something. Come to think of it I have ready access to a Live Voice Over suite in the TV station I work at at the moment. There are no acoustic tiles but I think it's acoustically sealed (probably to keep sound out rather than in (there's a whole lot of high tempered and high volume swearing that goes on during live programming that is obviously not wanted on air!)).

[ChiTownShakeDown]

haha, im applying to columbia college of chicago this week, they have a great audio and acoustics program

[lochead1]

Is that the course you're applying for?

[ChiTownShakeDown]

well they have a couple different degrees in the AA&A dept. i think ill stick with recording since thats my strong point or sound reinforcement sounds good too

[lochead1]

There's something you should bear in mind that I didn't know during my education. I don't know if things are the same in the States but Sound Engineers don't get paid a great deal over here. However, Acoustic Engineers are paid in buckets of cash.

I had to employ one to gain Planning Permission for a house I was altering a few years ago...

[lochead1]

...(when you structurally alter a house in England you have to get consent from the local Council and they generally make you jump through a load of pointless hoops). Anyway, the cheapest I could find was £850 for a half day (and for that he did essentially f*ck all).

...Thats $3400 a day!? If I'd known that years ago it may have changed my career!

[pyromohanzed]

Can you play something with all those machines in that room?

[lochead1]

Yeah, I play keyboards, guitar and sing a bit, but actually I see myself as a programmer/writer more than anything.

I've been meaning to upload more videos (a couple containing stuff I've written) but I've got no time at the moment :(

[PuNiShErCCA]

HAHAH thats some ghetto shit !!!!

[mournfullax]

i say GRAVITY BONG!

[topoyiyoraton]

too mucho blablabla

[Danny7930]

lmfao

[saleall]

ahahah is that tubes from toilet? lmfaomlo XD and you farted while you where playing da shit. aahhahhahhah

[GBuck276]

coming from a brass player, get a larger mouthpiece, like one for a trombone. the size of the amplifier doesnt match well with the size of the moutpiece, which happens to be the most important part of the because it is where the sound begins.

[Ephitaph]

xD; I think it's like.. An acoustic simulator type of thing.. The garbage can is supposed to expand soundwaves or something.. o: Ingenious I'de say..

[aliutku]

canı sıkılmış götünden çıkan sesi benzetmeye çalışıo

[Revaign]

FART FART FART LOL

[lochead1]

hmmm... I went to your site - not very interesting. Try this one GoFuckYourselfYouNobGobblingLu­mpOfShit.com_

[tohtorigyro]

propperly said mate!

[bathrugby13]

nice comeback

[SpikeMinoda]

Aww, I all I got was bestiality...

[XxnoitcelferxX]

LOL!

[dcp01208]

thats tite...but u cant play it for shit. it sounds like ur taking mega farts. u should learn how to play it...

[rule001]

What the hell where u smoking when studying???

u do know a simple piece of pipe (or gardenhose) gives the same sound don't you?

It's like builind a ten foot constructionthat makes two spoons clap together!

[BenDempster]

ROFL this Is Great ! ROck On !

[sup3a]

Nice but all these "home made insturments" videos has too much talk.. Don't talk, show you're instrument :P

[TrojanTM]

HAHA!

[goldenmonkey133]

Riders of Rohan, assemble!

[Pokygirl2001]

Buaahaahaa, sounds like a sick moose. Great! :)

[DjBeast]

ROFL this is just hilarious ! Nice job

[SkAreKro71]

Dude! can you say "LAME-O" I JUST LOST MINUTES OF MY LIFE WATCHING THAT DREK!!!

[lochead1]

Dude! can you say "cock sucker". Pull your finger out of your fucking arse hole, put your mum's clothes back on and go back to tugging yourself off over your fucking favourites.

[Fable98]

omg... Skare just got OWNED lol yeah go team... just thought id tell u way to tell them off and also u can play WAYYYYYY better then the trumpets in my band clas

[moedady]

its only fruity at the end when blowing but nice job on the hottie your saved

[sabotagethefool]

I was expecting more, it looked impressive lol. You coulda done that with anything!

[lochead1]

Yeah, you're right. Problem is that I didn't know that when I was building it. I had to "demonstrate" this in front of a class of music students. Must admit I felt a bit of a 'narna. There again other students had put a f***ing elastic band over a shoe box!

[lochead1]

The general consensus was that the volume of air in the resinator (dustbin) was too big for an individual to shift efficiently with lungs alone. I said I'd connect it to a compressor and a reed to make a pretty huge fog horn but never got round to it.

[menotyou66]

don't know what a "narna" is, but i can imagine ;-) good job anyway. funny! better than most of these stool samples could do anyway!!!

[nornornor333333]

sound like killing someone! funny!!

[thefiftiesguy]

lol looks like you were gonna turn blue tryin to blow in that thing

[redbaron1913]

Fun.that's what music is all about.thanks for sharing.

[pabloe0168]

man i thouht that taht thing would do eomrthing to the piano lol

[Doombox162]

LMAO Nice bro!
