"I didn't have a cathedral at home" -- great line. That said, this sounds a lot like Tomita in the 1970s.

I randomly discovered Tomita from a TikTok slideshow a few weeks ago and I love his music so much! If only I saw your comment earlier! :)

i love tomato's. They really bring home the love of Father God

I never considered that the _church itself_ is an essential part of the instrument! That makes me love church organs even more!

Also, resonance in neighboring pipes, giving a kind of harmonic reverb which is also a huge part of piano sound. The spring reverb does have some of this harmonic quality (If you flick the spring of a spring reverb while it is connected, it reveals its artefacts with this bouncy arpeggio-like sound).

Basically room acoustics affect the sound which the listener receives. The same effect is had with ancient Roman and Grecian play stages (the seats in the auditorium reflect sounds), and face masks amplify the actors voices.

It's quite logical though, if you think about it. It's like the headphones or speakers you use to listen to music. The music itself may be good, but if you use bad headphones, it will sound bad. For speakers, room acoustics are also important to consider.

Great work! That was fun!

​@@memes_gbc674yep, that is the man himself

I've never seen someone shred so hard playing music on a computer keyboard. Also, the SID sounds good going through that spring reverb. Nice work.

A modern reverb can simulate the sound of a cathedral, but I never knew a old fashioned spring reverb could sound so great.

Spring reverb on a 64, never would've thought of that, you're an absolute genius... as if we didn't know that already :) I can imagine you entering a wild compo with something like this.

Your musical dexterity on the C64 keyboard is incredible, but it makes sense if you're already familiar with the accordion.

Now I understand how David Bowman felt when he said: "My god, it's full of stars"

Finally, a video that combines all the things that my Dad and I like: organs, accordions, and the Commodore-64! 😀👍

The nostalgia at @4:00 is immense!!! That Amiga Basic demo is probably my most profound computer music experience ever.

Yeah, exactly. I recognised it too. Was wondering if anyone else did.

Amazing, what a great project! I love spring reverbs in guitar amps, never thought about their role in electric organs.

Ingenious work! Accordion fingering is something I never considered for my midi toy apps. Thank you for something new to investigate.

Pure genius! It was a real pleasure having this little chat with you at Revision some time ago. You, sir, a real nice guy. And as said: pure genius! Thanks for sharing all this.

This is inspring, hilarious and illustrates so many facettes of knowledge and skill - presented in such a beatifully dry way! Love it!

The AmigaBASIC demo part was perfect. :D

Fascinating research, lft! So glad to peer into the workings of your mind once again. (And I had no idea spring reverbs existed! That’s a brilliant electromechanical solution.)

You're such a underrated musical genius!

That's an incredible find! That spring reverb combined with that SID chip really brightens the sounds nicely. That spring reverb really adds a lot of depth for sure. I want a Commodore now.

Linus this is amazing sounding. Nice work.

Glad KZread finally recommended this today; thanks for making this, I think it's absolutely awesome. And also weirdly emotional. I love C64 music, I've heard the mighty church organ play but never would have imagined the two meeting. But you made it happen!

Outro gave me goosebumps. Beautiful!

Awesome! Finally music from an 8 bit system that sounds good to my ears.

I'm absolutely at awe! This is wonderful, how this sounds...! Thank you!

You sir, are a genius! Thank you so much for sharing.

Is this my cue to say "Welcome Bach"?

I am so glad that I have your channel on bell alerts

Excellent engineering and educational work. !

Love the nod to the Amiga Workbench demo program during the recital of Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire

That Amiga Basic demo callback was just so spot on

"I didn't have a cathedral at home" = comedic gem of the day

And now we sing hymn no.321 Thing on a Spring

Brilliant as always

I love this video so much. I have watched it at least half a dozen times since it was posted and every time it makes me laugh with delight at its ingenuity and beauty. Thank you!

Unbelievable, really awesome! Also, an incredible skill to play music on the C=64 keyboard. My respect! 🙂

Loved the Amiga Basic homage :)

Mind-blowing sound and brilliant technical solution!

lovely ^___^ when you played the art of fugue subject i was eager to hear more ;D spring reverbs are so nice-a raw electric guitar signal can also sound rather plain, but it too comes alive with just the addition of spring reverb…i know some people think of them as "cheap-sounding" compared to plate or room reverb on account of their "pingy" or "squeaky" qualities but i think they have a special character all their own

That's so true! I love the subtle noises in electromechanical and electronic instruments and effects!

Thanks for the explanation about the church acoustics. I never thought on that

"Switched on Bach" now makes more sense.

Awesome as always, lft. I was literally blown away. Need to find my way back home now, vi ses!

Brilliant, both in concept and implementation

That sounds incredible. Always nice to see a new video from lftkryo.

Lovely work! Thank you for sharing this new project and the beautiful music.

Genious, beautiful and one heck of a flex to throw out at parties! Thanks for enriching the world with silly, cool nerdy builds like this! We silly nerds of yore love it!

Love to hear more pieces performed on this.

You are such an interesting guy! You are an audiophile of the most rare variety. You commordian video brought me to your channel, this video has me officially subbed. Keep on being you good sir!!!

awesome video. I remember the guitarist from Captain Beefheart said that the poor man's reverb in the 70s was to lay the guitar amp on its back under a piano

The coordinated blinking at the end killed me XD

After a couple of whiskies I can't imagine a better video

Simply brilliant!

3:16 such a sublime sound

Amazing. This is one of the coolest things i’ve seen in a while. Thanks for the video. It was a delight.

You're an amazing person and everything about this video is good

I am always so excited when this guy brings out a new video!

Simply awesome.

Amazing as always

dude, this is one of the coolest stuff for classic meet retro

it is a thing of sheer beauty

Jag satt precis nu och lyssnade på din presentation "Poems for bugs" när du laddade upp den här videon :D Supercoolt och inspirerande!

woah.. i've forgotten when did i subscribe to this channel. keep up the good work

a wonderful project to cherish the SID chip with an impressive transformation, a great performance by you, happy holidays, and greetings from Germany

Pure genius at work.

So you're gonna pull a "switched on Bach" and release an album of this stuff, right?

it's always a thrilling experience when notification of LFT's new video has came :D You definetely should consider starting patreon. Not to collect money for your projects (as they are priceless in their simplicity or ingenuity accomodated within, while being in the same time just economically cheap), but to allow fans like me to show appreciation and giving us a way to say "thanks Linus for"... :)

4:12 NICE! AmigaBASIC was a huge part of my life back int he day. :D Great project! You should get a breadbin 64 and put the spring reverb inside of it... or maybe I should. :D

such an amazing sound

This is just brilliant. Love the keyboard layout you used as well.

Speechless. This is amazing. And just when I thought the music of a C64 couldn't be any better. ;-)

Really drives home how much Uematsu was imitating Bach in pieces like Dancing Mad (which brings things right back to game music).

great sound. cool project!

I love the amiga touch 4:07 :)😊

I recall I had a program from one of the Commodore-specific magazines (c.1984) that let you play the keyboard synth-keyboard style (rather than accordion). It worked great except that, as with your project, it could not correctly read all the possible 3-note combinations. I also recall building a spring reverb from a kit back then but it always sounded twangier than yours.

Thank you for all that you do Linus, very inspirational!!!

very beautiful

You just helped me understand why my keyboard can't play certain note combinations and chords.

wooh! glad to see new videos :D

*Standing ovation*

Bravo!

Excellent! 🔝👍😊

THE KING RETURNS!!!

Wonderful!

thank you for this video!

Brilliant!

Brilliant! Again!

Now seriously: you can combine it with Chipophone and/or pocket operators and play something. It would be amazing.

Really cool idea and execution. Nice job!

Love the swinth reference :)

I’d love to give thumbs up a thousand times. Amazing!

I don't think I was aware of just how much the reverb matters for the sound. I will remember that, though! I do think that not having each sound play in two or three different octaves (or even fifths) makes a very big difference as well! Of course, you can play with just one stop open for each manual/pedal, which this sounds like.

Two sad sad people pressed thumbs down on this masterpiece. What is the world coming to?

Magnificent!

Superb

Maaaan, the SID chip just sounds great no matter what u do to it. Idk why more musicians don't use it, underrated by everyone but nerds :(

8bit organs will always remind me of the great Nobuo Uematsu.

Linus is a genius.

Full circle indeed! congrats!

Ingenious. On the editing part I think you should have mixed it additively, each organ sound adds to the total volume, then it would have been perfectly realistic.

And by 6:24 I actually cried... I think you need to tour churches and play this instrument.

Amazing👍
