Horror Musical Instrument - The Apprehension Engine

Ойын-сауық

NEW The Apprehension Engine has come a long way since this video was made. Here's a performance from 2020: • Apprehension in Quaran...
I made a sketch of an idea I had for an instrument that specialized in creating horrifying sounds, and together with my good friend Tony Duggan-Smith, we designed it and Tony built it for me, with the intention of using it in horror film score.
Credit where credit is due: the ideas was influenced by a Vimeo video called, "Koka's Soundtrack Box #1". Go see for yourself. It's pretty cool. vimeo.com/168312956
It consists of metal rulers which are bowed, a hurdy gurdy like mechanism, a string played with an attached Ebow, a spring reverb (also played with an ebow) some long metal rods, magnets, trash, anything at all to get unnerving sounds.

Then at 2:37 it's standing directly behind you, so close that you can feel it's breath on your neck. Spooky stuff.

    Great instrument ! It can produce so many different sounds ! I found your video because I'm trying to build something quite similar (and close to Folktek's instruments too). I see a "guitar mic" under the strings, but how do you capture the sounds of the metal rulers ? With piezo microphones ? Would you agree to make a video explaining how it is built ? Thank you very much, Thibault

    Hi Thibault. I use one multi pad K&K contact pickups. I don't know how many contacts, since I didn't build it. You can check out www.apprehensionengine.com if you'd like to contact the builder Tony Duggan-Smith. Also, there is www.markkorven.com/Apprehension_Engine.html if you want to see some more recent videos.

    I like this a lot. Yes, it frequently refers to waterphone, but this has more. The E-bow is quite crucial. Great device! Also not less important is the use of your reverb. Would say it sounds Eventide-ish. My compliments for the very tasteful development of this instrument and filming/recording it in a beautiful way. Thanx for the shivers!!

    the re-verb Tank creates some Awesome effects. I had one when I was in my early teens, and when I got bored with just the echo voice effect through a mic, I started messing around with plunking and rubbing the springs. the tank had a small Vac. Tube Pre-Amp. which I fed its output into a Vac. Tube power amp I had for a turn-table. But I never thought of mounting the tank to a box and adding all the other things to your device is like a electronic version of the water harps they used in Old horror movies from the 60's, 70's. but I think it does a lot more effects then they did. Awesome Vid Man, Thanks :)

    It was constructed for a single purpose as practically as possible under the circumstances and everything had to playable and adjustable. Inspiration came about from what was possible in a very short amount of time! As far as inspiration goes, sound sources that can be manipulated expressively by a 'player' are paramount so that the player has room to explore.
