Haunting Omnichord Song

The Omnichord is highly underrepresented on YouTube! Few folks post actual songs... This instrument is so fun and easy to play, I wanted to share a piece I made up recently. I figured out the basic progression and then did improv over the top of it. Played through a Danelectro chorus pedal into a Fender Twin Reverb with the reverb on and tremolo off. All sounds are from the Omnichord itself. I love the haunting, funky chirping sounds it makes. Recording this with my photo camera (Canon SD850 IS) also adds to the lo-fi sweetness by overdriving its microphone at times. Get an Omnichord. Take over the world! See my intro vid for more info and a walkthru of the Omnichord.

I found a mint condition Omnichord at a church tag sale today and paid only 10 bucks for it!

@littlelucier that's insane! Great find! Make a song, record a video, and I'll link to it.

this, in my opinion, is the best omnichord video on youtube. congrats. Looks like I'm spending 100 $ this weekend. :)

@whoisbilg Thanks! It is an amazing instrument (and highly underrepresented on youtube... most of the videos are just plain bad). For other good omnichord vids check out the ambient one by NeoKitch with the SK1 and sElf playing a one man band style cover of AC/DC's "Back in Black"

i've seen vids of newer ones but i don't like the sound as much. I may be wrong, but it looks like they added a lot of features (Q-chords) that I don't care for. I'm happy with the old dude.

Interesting tune...

Makes me think of a scary ice cream van of doom or a sinister fair ground. :P

Can't sleep... clowns'll eat me! o.o

@Pelle4495 : Did you get that Omichord? Last time I checked, one like mine was going for $400.

[Hatorah]
