I think he needs to visit Tatjana van Vark, who also qualifies, and look at some of their mechanical engineering art, and of course their phone exchange.

for sure! not too many knocking about these days.

A big thanks to all the passionate people who salvage these wonderful machines, preventing their definite loss !

FINALLY! Someone with more equipment than Sam. This Museum is such the slacker.

No No please!! :-) Sam's place is really of an other category, very different and VERY special!!! 🙂

I miss my dad when watching this...He died 4 years ago at the age of 64. He had the same patience when explaining things, though enjoying when us young people try to make it our own. That's the thing with explaining, it his you when you get older.

Willem 2 studios! These guys are so patient and sweet, they love to explain everythung with all the passion they have❤ Big love

As a guy who got hugely inspired by you and Hainbach’s test equipment videos back during the pandemic and built a giant set up known as the ‘End Of The World Machine’ I highly approve of this! You rule Sam good stuff!

It's funny when you get to see these old bits actually being used, as intended, instead of being viewed from afar in some obscure museum. Sam's "Ow many you got!!" Classic.

"used, as intended", ahh, ok, there's a comma.

I have nothing with electronics, yet this is my favourite channel. Especially with all these sounds, I am back in bed as a 10-year-old with my radio with the green eye next to me, listening to all these mesmerizing sounds and voices from far away while moving the dial slowly.

.....totally absorbing, both sonically and visually.....if you weren't on tour I'm sure you would both still be there in twiddle heaven....

Maybe great big huge dials need to make a comeback. Very satisfying.

Two thumbs up for that story about Stockhausen at the radio station.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Incredible collection of someone who clearly loves what he does. So many possibilities with this old gear. Just love it!

That oscilloscope was like some crazy old sci-fi movies stuff, astonishing! It seems the sine waves are truly alive, closed inside these twisted circuits! Don't let them out! >,>

It really is a great experience using an analog oscilloscope with a synth. One time I managed to construct an animation (of a jumping rabbit) in a fairly odd patch. Sounded decent at least.

Very reminiscent of the score for “Forbidden Planet” which was made with similar equipment.

This is exactly how I imagine the Star Trek Classic series got their atmospheric sounds on several planets!

It sounds exactly like the first electronic music soundtrack ever - the soundtrack for "Forbidden Planet" wich was made by the Barons in the fifties.

I met someone who worked on the ship sounds for Star Trek. Lots of air-conditioning hums recorded to reel to reel

the jam kept growing piece by piece with nice rhythms and complex sounds, great job guys, lots of fun to be had. insane vibes past the 25min point with great character to the plucked picked and percussive bits.

WOW!! This is very, VERY impressive!! What a spectacular and awesome setup!! It looks like an electronic scientific research lab from back in the day. It also reminds me of early computers as well, such as the Whirlwind I. So, this is how those weird sound effects were created for those old sci-fi movies from back in the 50's and 60's, like "Forbidden Planet," for example. NICE!!!! It's so amazing that all of the basic components found in a typical modern analog synthesizer also exist in this vintage high-end test equipment. I can only assume this is the type of equipment that was used during the early days of electronic music and sound effects, which eventually led to the development of the modular synthesizer. I can even recall hearing some of these types of sound effects used in soundtracks from classic sci-fi and horror movies made during the 70's as well.

thanks so much and great to have you Sam and Johnny!! 🙏🎂🎂🍰🙃 Do enjoy your tour!!!

Hans reminds my of my late electro teacher.. The long hear. And the tone of explanation.. also the pinging galaxy shapes on the ocilator were out of this world. Loved the visiualization of the sound and "gravity" effect. reminded me of the DIY etch and sketch vid

Thanks for this inspiring video! Love this setup for its pure and well thought out layout. Also love the organic and searching way of tuning and playing the mixer board instead of traditional keys! Guess you had a great day! Keep up the the great work!

It was wildly random to see you hanging out at my workplace. Walked up there pretty tired and slightly late for a meeting so I didn’t expect to see you hahaha But it was great to meet you!

Thanks so much to your good self and Hans, not forgetting the camera person, for this particularly brilliant, educational soiree. I loved it. 😊 This exploration filled in a load of gaps in my knowledge around how the electronic pioneers, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and all the other international music labs worked in the pre-synth days. The time, patience, inventiveness and the pure vision of those early folk shines through in this session. What joy to get those last few niggling questions answered. Questions I would have struggled to even pin down...and you and Hans just nailed it. Top class, as ever Sam. Thank you!

What an amazing place! I enjoyed this video, as well as the ones Hainbach has done from Willem Twee. You two should jam together at the Twee!

This is one of the most awesome sound creating machines in exsistance! Thank You so much for sharing it with Us Sam!

Wow, this brings back memories. When I was in high school I worked at an electronics surplus store so of course I had a home lab with a Tektronics scope, HP200 audio generator and a spring reverb. I have no musical talent but I did have lots of fun seeing what I could come up with. That was 45 years ago. I really like the setup in this video.

Wow. What a fantastic room of audio. I absolutely love the setup, super well thought and laid out. Willem is incredibly insightful. This could have been a 2 hour video and I would have still found it really interesting to watch. I love to think how kit like this is the birthplace of so much of the music we enjoy listening to today, even if it wasn't originally intended for this equipment to be musical. Thanks for sharing, I truly enjoyed the experience of the journey into sound.

i could watch videos like this all day

Look Mum it's the Netherlands !

So cool to see your live performance in Tolhuistuin the other day!!🙌🎶

So wonderful! Thanks for sharing! Watching this fills me with emotion: Excitement, Curiosity, Wonder, Confusion, Jealousy and Inspiration just to name a few.

That’s an amazing looking place! It’s looks very industrial, like a power plant. But it’s a power plant that makes sounds from outer space.

some of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard coming from some of the most beautiful machines I have ever seen

man, no wonder this was the scifi aesthetic for so long... walking inside a huge synth to turn the knobs is rad. it's so clean too, like the controls for a nuclear reactor

That analog computer part🎉

WOW. what a beautiful collection of equipment, and what musical possibilities!

Riveting stuff!!! Thanks for all your invaluable videos!

One of the best videos on this channel

Good Job guys ,ReALLY Enjoyed this.....Fantastic Job Mr Twee

I can't believe I listened to the entire video. Amazing sounds! 😲

What a wide palette of sounds, from eerie industrial drones to plucky and percussive beats. Really cool demonstration video!!

The king of modular synthetisizers.

Those sounds are fantastic. This made me smile a lot. :)

utterly utterly fascinating

well, what can i say? awesome is an understatement. mad respect for collecting, building and maintaining this behemoth of a sound laboratory.

What an aural feast. Sounds like the sound effects from early Doctor Who/Raumpatrouille Orion shows.

Pure tube analog! Must sound amazing in person!

I worked for HP for 5 years on their laptop line customer support and never knew they made these machines, woah. Great video!

Always fun to hear Hans explain!

That was so much fun to see and hear!

I grew up watching the first few seasons of Doctor Who, Twilight Zone, and other shows and these are the exact same sounds you’d hear. Now I know why. Thanks!

Awesome content. Brilliant. Not touched an analogue computer since university in 1985

This setup is AWESOME

this is so mind bending

Mental! loved it. Great old stuff from my days. Thanks.

Very nice, so inspiring. Many thanks from Norway.

Remember a project in Practical Electronics for a box that made coloured noise. You probably have it somewhere late sxties early seventies.. It was completely analogue and used a noisy diode to make white noise and had a series of filters with toggl;e switches and pots with chicken heads. Picture was on front cover.

Fantastic nerd stuff - amazing construction/setup. Imagine that it gave you a lot of ideas 😊

Magnifique ❤ Extraordinaire

I love seeing your interactive perspective on this studio!! 👍👍🎛️🎚️

This studio, along with some quality effects pedals, would be awesome for making sample libraries. Especially if you had some cool 80's/90's samplers to process them through.

nice feature, great video! I love this Space!

That analog computers display is the most hypnotic thing I have ever seen. And to have control over it in that manner.... I could get lost for 3 days straight in that thing.

I remember when I wired my analogue scope in XY mode to the analogue percussion of my Casio MT-88, I got similar strange psychedelic spiral attractor stuff.

Absolutely fascinating

I wish i fully understood how cool this really is..

Great guys, two mad scientists at work!

Strange yet very soothing sounds ,coming out of these machines .

wow.. what an awesome setup!

It's great to see old school mad professor character.. with thier contraptions..

Almost as pretty sounding as my tinnitus love it!

Oh my god how I like all the old equipments

The cool thing with 'test equipment' is that you can actually 'see' what's going on, and eventually mesure it. Nice synth!

Absolutely breathtaking! That's more HP than you have Brüel&Kjær! CuriousMarc would be proud. I'll try visiting the place should I go to the Netherlands again. Makes me wish I could do electronics maintenance and service there. The computer though - it's another thing of beauty in and of itself. "...and the Keri of the counter..."

Awesome, been there once, Hans is a legend!

😮 amazing otherworldly sounds

The Dutch Side of the Moon - Very inspiring!

its kinda cool that in my musical journey im at the point where i know what is going on and what hes talking aboot

Never seen Sam so relaxed...

uff these machines just sound amazing! minimal techno at its best :)

This is truly excellent.

what an awesome studio!

32:05 Hans: "...but something strange happens when you take the output and put it together" me: The Prodigy - Out Of Space happens 😁

This is amazing!

I already had a rough idea what you could do with test equipment. But that was just mental 🤯

Ahh, this is soooo great to see! Went to their channel and hoped there were like hour long videos of improvisations with this equipment, but unfortunately no.

That was some truly interesting stuff! Now all the generation of the sounds for old Sci-Fi movies makes much more sense as well as the term "electro-acoustic music". A real eye-opener! Some of the first sounds in the video was very reminiscent to early stuff from Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream too - nice!

Those 1950 to early 1960th sci-fi movies with landing on foreign planets (e.g. "The Silent Star", "Forbidden Planet" etc.) often had this kind of athmo sounds. Interesting is that they controlled large filter banks by hand instead of envelope circuits to make these voice-like airy space timbres.

This is mind-blowing

Kinda wild to think that in the 1950s/60s this was the "regular" way of making Electronic music

It's a dream studio !!!!!

Amazing, and great movie

Love those little moments of Sam’s heavy breathing lmao 😂

Hans is genius. This place is awesome and absolutely unique in the world.

He's like the missing link between Lookmomnocomputer and CuriousMarc. Awesome setup

Bro looks like an evil genius in his lair, ready to execute his masterplan for world domination.

Superb!

Awesome video… takes me back to electrical engineering lab days. We would have been much more motivated if we thought about using that gear to make real music. Great seeing old and new generation geniuses work together.

Massive - I love #1

I am Wowed!! 🙌 Amazing!! 🙌

Fantastic musical gadgetry...i put you in the Tangerine Dream playlist...

I have been there some times. Hans is as nice irl ! Love that studio and its sounds. Also been in the other studio featuring lots of famous synths. Have to visit it soon, its in my city, 's-Hertogenbosch...❤❤❤
