SPACE ODDITY (New Stylophone Version) Remix

[alexeykh]

Classic! Full on lo-tech minimal to the hilt. Even the little fudge you do at 0:36 seems just right.

[0ooMICKoo0]

@alexeykh There's a lot of fudge in there. Even the hi-tech sounds lo-tech coz the Line6 Variax 12string is no match for the real thing.

Thanx for looking & fab comment

[Zelatynaxyz]

this is cool...

[MalquiLans]

hahahaha... I'm trying to figure out why this is popular; So far, 3 reasons:

1: It's Bowie.

2.:It's funny due to Stylophone sound/me playing it in Goonish fashion.

3: I show respect by doing the harmony as well? :)

Thanx for enjoying it.

I have been enjoying the original since my mate Tim sold me his sister's 45rpm single with 'Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud' on the B-side!! Now, there's a song & a half!! - Stylophoners..... to the right!!... Ahh..... Yuuuuupp!!

Go for it! :)

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

i want a british made sylophone so much. and a 350s, and a Stylophone Beatbox. CHRISTMAS LIST COMPILED :D

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

how did you get you stylaphone to sound like that?

[MalquiLans]

@ZILOGz80VIDEOS I used the headphone socket for a direct input to my recorder.

[turdarella]

One word... Brilliant.

[EpilepticElbow]

Might need to clean your stylus/keyboard a bit, but AWESOME!!

[MalquiLans]

@EpilepticElbow Thanx for watching!! You are quite correct. I gave it a good clean-up before unleashing my other vids :) It's now doing quite well for 40yr old piece of kit.

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

@MalquiLans you have an original sylaphone, wow, thats amazing. I have one of the new ones. i suppose thats why i cant get mine to sound as cool as yours. what notes did you use?

[perfahunter]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I LOVE IT, thanks for uploading this! :DD:DD:D:

[MalquiLans]

@perfahunter Thanx for watching. You might also enjoy my stylophoned Rebel Rebel, Laughing Gnome, & Under Pressure. They don't last long so you won't be wasting your time :)

[hendrixnow]

i love this I just order a stylo

[MalquiLans]

I keep trying to Respond to this vid with my version of Rebel Rebel but YouTube doesn't work proper! Please check it out after viewing this, fans :)

[MalquiLans]

Rebel Rebel on a Stylophone?!!! Yes, it can be done! :)

I have done it, please check it out.

Long live Buzz the Fuzz! :)

[Hobbyist56]

cool bro

[MalquiLans]

@Hobbyist56 Thanx man. I hope you can say the same about my Rebel (stylophone)Rebel :)

[HiJackZX1]

OH WOW.... I have never seen this instrument in life..... That is so cool.

[axelvonwebern]

has the spirit of the original - ground control to major tom... good stuff !!

[cybervideos]

Yeah, please, show us how to play, please

Beautiful video.

[Jammminjelly]

Please post a vid showing what keys you're pressing.

[MalquiLans]

Hmmm... I've posted Rebel Rebel!! That might not help, but it's as funny, I think. Please check out the 'Oddity' vid response. That might help with the key numbers :)

[Ndsntionz]

do you guys hae otehr stuff lol.. awsomeage

[MalquiLans]

yes, some of it is as funny :) Cheers

[Ndsntionz]

omg this is halarious and cute and funny and great and perfect in ery way at 2 am .. and im sober..

[MalquiLans]

My 'Laughing (stylophone) Gnome' is funny!! I'm now working on a new vid of one of Bowie's classics......... :)

[valerock667]

also the voices in the back ground are funny! Great Performance!

[MalquiLans]

Thanx :) I have to say to all the viewers that I have loved this song from the moment I heard it. But in answer to Frank Zappa's question "Does Humor Belong In Music?" I say "yes, please" :)

[ElettroShock90]

great! you have the tabs for stylophone?? can you sent it to me?

[MalquiLans]

Tabs for stylophone? You're kidding?! I used my ears, try it :)

[ElettroShock90]

Tabs or notes.. ^^ ..I love this song and i would play it on stylophone... i've ordered it by an english shop on ebay because i'm italian and in italy i don't found it... so i'm waiting for...

[edwardlyttoncobbold]

white stylophone!!! thats GANGSTA!!!!

[RetroRanga1993]

absolutely brilliant -- i've never heard anything like it before. i'm gonna go and get one now., dunno how but i will. thanks

[MalquiLans]

I'm not too sure about my performance but it was a brilliant idea, I think :)

I hope yours will sound better than mine.

Cheers :)

[robinhoisgod]

can u post the numbers for stylophone?

[MalquiLans]

I didn't look at the numbers (I play by ear).

I don't have a battery for it so I can't help you I'm afraid.

Thanks for looking :)

[Isolar]

Fun:)

[galoalvarez]

thanks for posting this!

[caelich]

Oh man, what an awesome vid, good job

[MalquiLans]

Thanx very much!! You are now ready to take a look, & have a laugh, at my Gnome vid :)

[LinkBulletBill]

Stylophone was actually use in the song, but as like a long bass track in the background...

[MalquiLans]

hehe... it's Fuzz Bass on this one!! :)

[Feltmanmusic]

absolutely brilliant!!!

there are so many shit stylophone covers on here, but that was actually beautiful!

haha.

[MalquiLans]

It's a bit fuzzy, but I like that comical sound

:) Thanx for looking

[therelaxationstation]

Just brilliant ! Really enjoyed it :)

[MalquiLans]

Ta very much :)

[diegolinbg]

i like your hat

[MalquiLans]

Which one? hahaha.... They're both worn in appreciation of Laurel & Hardy. One is a Derby, & the red 'Sons Of The Desert' hat is a fez.

Thanks for watching :)

[markthewhalekiller]

Man the fez is my favourite hat! With the derby being a close second. The fedora is far overrated, it's been whored out lately.

[Trixxterboy]

hey that sounded good. im looking for a stylophone right now and there is a lot of hype about the old ones being better than the new ones. do you know anything about this? also is that a standard or treble one?

[MalquiLans]

It's a standard model from the 1970's!!!!

I hear the new version has 2 other sounds as well as the original. I'd buy that.

Thanx for listening :)

[TheModCon]

That sounds really good :D

[sirant]

Fantastic!

[unholyspider]

i like it.

[Isabelleeeeeeeeee]

you are pretty darn cool.

this is awesome.

im getting my friend one for xmas

long live the stylophone :)

[MalquiLans]

Tell your friend to check out my Laughing Gnome vid. It's like a tutor vid :)

Thanx for watching

[MalquiLans]

It's OK the therapy is working - I've taken out the batteries!!

Well, I've been told (by little gnome voices in my head) that by doing the song properly I will be able to face the outside world again....... It's coming soon......... Then I'm going....... out with friends!!! HOORAY!!!!

:)

[zeppeter69]

I was going to laugh and ridicule you but that was really good and anything with Bowie is good, now, get out more and make some real friends instead of playing with silly toys, ok sorry was being nasty! good luck anyway!

[wayneamania]

hi is there any chance you could put the numbers played up or send them to me thanks :)

[MalquiLans]

Well, you could first check my Gnome vid out. You can see what I'm doing on that one. If you master that, Space Oddity will be easy!!!!! Failing that, I'll put a battery in & see what numbers I played.

Until then, keep practising, & if you can hear when you're doing it wrong, doing it right follows quite quickly, I find.

:)

[rachelharri82]

haha I like it from about 2.43! It sounds really trippy lol!

[MalquiLans]

Hehe.... it's a copy & paste job!!

[rachelharri82]

Yep stylophone definately gone to your head!!! :0)

[rachelharri82]

where did this come from? I have never seen it before yet its been posted here for months!? Its really cool! This is my fave bowie song too and I think you have done it proud!

[MalquiLans]

Hello Rachie - where did that come from? I mean "Rachie" :)

Really, I did this for a laugh - I didn't put it on your CD because it sounds so bad!!

I think (when I get some new strings) I should redeem myself & do the song justice instead of ruining it for the sake of art!?!

hahahahe. xx 'Love on ya' as Bowie used to say

[MalquiLans]

I bought some new strings!!! "Hooray!" And, like I said I would, I have, hopefully, redeemed myself & done the song properly.

It's coming soon, this week.....

[Koofteh]

I like the idea, not so well executed though. There are better players on YouTube.

I need to buy a Stylophone a try this out myself.

[MalquiLans]

I did this for a laugh, really! Yes, the bloody thing sounds horrible!!! I agree. It's just unfortunate that so many people have witnessed such an awful act. hahaha... My "execution" of The Laughing Gnome is more satisfying for me in terms of musicality...

Yes, get one :)

[Merlin5007]

Best one I heard yet.

[MalquiLans]

Oh no... you don't mean this is better than the original, & with Rick Wakeman on Mellotron!?! I'm not worthy

:)

[dalal52]

can add the basic notes to the description wanna play this or can u send me them please

[MalquiLans]

Do you mean the numbers on the Stylophone keyboard? I have no idea, I just hit it until I got it right. You'll have to play along to this effort! hahaha... Well, I can tell you this demo arrangement starts with a C chord.

[kirbymkiiFTW]

haha great i just got me one of these things :D

[mugwump1971]

Marvellous. Sounds great.

IWOOT have got the stylophone selling brand new with extra sounds for a tenner! I bought 3 and used a voucher code, got a fiver off. Birthday pressies sorted...and for me...serious musician.

[btcctouring]

I just got one for about 12 qid on ebay. Arrived today. I love this version of the song especially where it sounds like 2 stylophones playing together.

[MalquiLans]

Yes, I had to do the harmonies... as best as I could hahaha... Have fun with yours

[unefleurdecactus]

Hehehehe this is delicious! ~;o) I love that version!

[MalquiLans]

Well folks, please check out the Stylophone solo on my song 'Shelley The Tortoise'. It's short but sweet...

[MalquiLans]

Stylophone fans out there, please check out my 'Laughing(Stylophone)Gnome' for a more professionally played Bowie song. This one was purposely played 'farty'. Thanx

[TrancetasticWilza]

I've got to get one! haha

[XSportSeeker]

Nice... proves we can do music out of anything.

Kinda funny too... sounds like farts or something. :P

[MalquiLans]

One of the appeals of the stylophone was that it sounded funny, especially when the contact between stylus & keyboard was fuzzy.

I just hope the new version hasn't corrected that flaw (which is easily cured by Brasso - The Wonder Stylophone Cleaner, for those concerto moments)

[joshmakesthings]

buy the newer stylophones :) itll sound better, you can adjust so many things, i bought one yesterday. funfun

[Zipgun1]

That was very cool, bet Rolf Harris would be pleased to see this I think he advertised it on TV years ago!!

[MalquiLans]

Thanx. Yeah, & I reckon that 12-string sounds good considering it's played on a Line6 electric. Rolf should get in & advertise that if he's not busy with his wobble board. Anyway, be the first to check out my Laughing (stylophone) Gnome...

[kate128346]

I would have preferred you singing? that Stylophone thingy freaked me out a bit... but great, liked it too.

[MalquiLans]

46!!! How old are ya???

[kate128346]

Ya knobber... think about it? 12 stands for 2 things, so no point in writing it twice, eh?

and well, #46 speaks for itself.

[MalquiLans]

Get to bed!!!

[kate128346]

eerrrrr... I'm back

[MalquiLans]

cyber stalker!!!!!!

[1stlagitana]

Hey rated it yesterday so ... love it still!!!

[MalquiLans]

Thanx, Thunderwing!! I'm glad I did it (again)

I hope my Laughing(Stylophone)Gnome will have the same affect...

[1stlagitana]

I'll fall off my chair laughing with joy soon well just about noooooow..... love Bowie and your vid.!!!

Thunderwing.

[usedforbattle]

Nice vid man, ive just ordered me one of the pocket stylophones :P cant wait to play aroudn with it!

[MalquiLans]

Thanx, hope you have fun with the Pocket Stylophone!! I'm now going to check that out...

[bolanrocks]

you are still crazy, great vid mick, but why the remix?

[MalquiLans]

Ahh, buddy. I did it for the fans. I thought they deserved a version without the irritating stylophone 'clicks' that were bugging me. I'm a perfectionist, as you can hear...hahahaha... Look out!! Drums,Guitar,Sitar(L6) recorded for Laughing Gnome already, my God!!!!!
