what we actually need from Andrew is a proper dark techno rave/industrial track using these drums!

Aunty Donna: Everything’s a drum! Andrew: Hold my reverb.

LOL....this makes me feel VERY OLD. We used to love playing with the reverb tank in the mixers in the band room back in high school, circa 1988. We would run the reverb output through a Boss distortion pedal or feed it back into the mixer's eq . The other fun thing to do was to stretch an engine timing spring (aka Slinky) across a room with a cheap pair of piezoelectric pickups (aka Walkman headphones) attached to one end with a rubber band. You plug the headphones into onf of the mic inputs on the mixer and run that signal through the mixer's reverb tank. Viola! You have all you need to write the score to Forbidden Planet. Love you work... Cheers!

I have a similar, sort of anachronistic memory, but just holding a slinky to my ear and letting it hang down, before tapping it on the side to make a Star Wars blaster noise. Heh.

So... the spring reverb has feedback that feeds reverb back into the reverb. Then you added gates to turn that into drums, and then for good measure you put that into Ableton and added some reverb. The only thing left is to sample that and feed it back into the modular spring reverb to complete the circle of life.

So I just quickly gave this a try with "Echo" in Ableton and it's pretty sick. Just crank the feedback and send it anything. Then you can play with the delay time, reverb, and EQ, and as a bonus, there's modulation! It sounds best with the reverb location on "Feedback". Important: put a limiter on the track.

Hey Andrew , ive been following you for 2 years and i just want to say: you’re the most intuitive, creative producer I’ve ever come across! The inspiration you give and the music you make is pure genius! I really hope that you recognize the value of the videos you are putting out to us and the kind of help you are providing for us who have lost inspiration or music-making ideas and different point of views. I really want to wish you the best possible outcome of your life. Thank you Andrew.

nice, thanks

The band Einstürzende Neubauten had a lot of percussion and sounds coming from springs, and doing drums to them. Much later, they dedicated a whole song to this, Feder Vice (Feder is german for spring).

You're telling me that me getting lost in details of the thing that is interesting and realising me making use of the knowledge I have gained and transforming that into a product is a good idea worthy of happening. Thank you Andrew.

I need a version of this that uses one of those doorstops that goes BOINOINOINOINOINOING when you tweak it.

As a noise musician this is right up my ally. Loved the percussion sounds, reminds me of the kind of output i get out the the Pulsar from SOMA!

I love this video! Really inspiring. I've had a spring reverb sitting on my shelf for several months now and I'm ashamed to say I haven't really played with it. My plan was to try to insert it into a violin I'm building. I might have to try using it as a percussive device first. Once it's inside the violin, there's no getting it out. ;)

Loved that choppy industrial sound at 2.45, would be awesome in a nasty dubstep track.

So glad to see you cover this one reverb in particular ! I really enjoyed how you also embrace using it as a sound source/oscillator. I mostly use it for bell sounds and very chaotic places. You can hear it all on my recordings of the last 4 months, often used in combination with a Springray.

I’m about to start scoring my first film pretty soon, and this kind of insight is exactly what I needed to get even more excited and creative with my sound design. It’s a fantasy-horror film, so this is perfect. ❤️

It definitely blowing my mind to see a stringed instrument as a drum. I know like the snare drum uses wires to make the snare drum vibration but it's just astounding that you'd expect a guitar or bass sound and it comes off like a drum

Just joined your class on monthly. Looking forward to learning more about music production!

I agree Andrew! Just hooked up a Doepfer spring reverb in my modular and you pretty much can't imitate the sound it creates. It's awesome. Thanks for all the content!

Andrew should open an interactive music museum with modular synths

Andrew always coming up with the most abstract, creative methods. I wanna hear these sounds on a movie score 🤯

Jamaican producer King Tubby used this type of sound a lot in the 70s. The avant-garde collective The Residents (the eyeball mask guys) used it on their song Smelly Tongues as well.

If you haven’t seen Jimi Hendrix Live at Woodstock playing Star Spangled Banner check it out, part of his sound was manually plucking the springs of the whammy/vibrato system on a Fender Stratocaster fed into a wah, fuzz face, octave fuzz, univibe rotating speaker simulator then into 2 100 watt overdriven tube amp heads outputting into 16 12 inch speakers that are also miked? and fed into the pa, which gave a massive wave of oscillating feedback which He surfed by using the guitar controls and playing it at the same time kzread.info/dash/bejne/l659k9eykZWXY6w.html Don’t know if the link works but Experience Hendrix is all over on the copyright so the clips come and go, full performance is available on DVD.

I've loved spring reverb since I learned about King Tubby, so glad you decided to cover it

Those ghostly tones do have a dub reggae energy to them

I can remember listening to similar types of sounds when I used fl studio and i had some reverb and grossbeat on the same track, whenever i stopped playing whatever it was there were still those ghostly reverb-ish kind of drum sounds that quickly faded into nothingness, but definitely had that quality to it. Super cool to play with that sound!

a few of those reverb hits sounded like a good dark acid bass, would be cool to sample those and pitch them around. love it though, that module isdef going on my wishlist!

That looks insanely fun 🤩 Love the experiment with the percussive reverb

Enjoyed your creative use of the spring reverb, and using it as a drum sound generator. One of the most unique and enjoyable pieces of gear in my home studio is the Ekdahl Moisterizer. Can get otherworldly with combination of spring reverb, VCF and LFO. Also love my Folktek Luminist Garden. Nothing quite like it.

Thanks for the super awesome vid. Feedback loops are an ongoing obsession in my creative journey. What started as a way to keep my visual art from violating music copyrights has become a whole new rabbit hole of soundscape creation. Your channel helped me so much in allocating precious resources for some specialized hardware. STOKED!

Have you tried placing the spring on a snare drum and using it as a contact mic? Other types of drum are available.

I'm reminded of those spring-mounted stoppers placed behind doors to stop them from smacking into the wall when opened all the way. Andrew playing the reverb springs directly kinda makes me think of what would happen if someone attached a contact mic to one of those door stoppers.

Your video's introduced me to modular 3 or 4 years ago and I've been obsessed ever since. Now I have a rack and its so cool seeing the modules I have showing up in your case as well! The modular is looking gorgeous btw! Next you need an all white and gold NLC section! Or an addac red section!?

I started playing with spring reverbs when I build my first Apprehension Engine a couple of years ago, and they're *super* fun to play with. I haven't tried doing this with it yet, but I'm about to!

I loved the saga, but I missed this kind of videos. Glad to have you back on Earth!

I haven't watched your channel in a very long time. I remember when you got your first modular synth case and packed it with a few modules. Now your studio is starting to look like some kind of futuristic mad scientist's laboratory, nested inside a 'cleanroom' ; beautiful.

Wow this really brought me back to high school! Some of my friends had a band and I would attend band practise Thursdays in a basement. So one of the guitarists had an old spring reverb that looked kind broken but the function worked and sometimes I played on the springs lol. Adventures in the new cam and lens was fun, that one really has some crazy distortion in the corners!

Always love seeing the cool gadgets you bring to your show! You're an amazing artist and producer and I really enjoy seeing what you make and hearing your thoughts on things!

this is SOCOOL & i love how skilled you are - your vids are fire!

Yes.. Yes! YESS!!! More sound design sessions please. I really find inspiration when producers just mess around and get something creative out of it.

I accidently had the self-oscillating effects pedal on Logic Pro years ago and that was such a mind blowing moment! Cool to see you can do it analog as well. 😁👍

i'm gonna be honest, i havent actually watched any of your videos in about 3 years, and i was not expecting to see a massive spaceship control panel when i got back. glad to see the pandemic has been productive.

The cable voice shows that you've really become a parent.

I love this video. Such a great comeback

Hey Andrew, so cool to see you discovering something new even after all your experience! Love that such a simple discovery sparks such joy! May the creative juices ever flow!

One of the originators of this sound was the dub master Osbourne "King Tubby" Ruddock way back in the 60's/70's. Grampian Spring reverb, Fischer Space Expander delay and hi-pass filter and then play the springs with a drum stick..

I love how I can get these crazy new ideas and musical inspiration for free. Thank you Andrew for the work you put into these gear videos

Signed up for the class!! Excited!!

You are an absolute MADMAN Andrew. Stay MAD!

I feel like running the vibe boom through this would be spectacular. Or even generating vibe booms spontaneously by smacking the spring.

Wow, your module wall... rack... brick... cluster... place... thing looks crazy😆

I went to a thrift store back in the day and bought a reverb amp. Never seen anything like it. Obviously a 60s or 70s solid state amp. The front has a bunch of lights, each time you move the reverb dial, it makes the lights separate, making a fuzzy light pattern. the effect of the audio through it sounds VERY similar to this!

Your modular setup has become twice as amazing since the last time I tuned in.

I really like that you're exploring and discovering live.

The sounds and rhythms generated by the spings remind me of Ansome - Stowaway, it always felt industrially primal-ish to me. Now i at least understand where i get the industrial viabe from!

I’m so glad you’re back, I’ve missed you.

Before I started messing with synths and Abelton these videos were just interesting or cool. Now I'm taking notes.

I was amused with the cable voices. It reminded me of Bob talking to his garden in Bob's Burgers.

Digital reverb also works well. Different to a mechanical spring, but definitely its own thing. Also, try putting some nontrivial effects in the feedback loop. Band pass filters can give you haunting melody/drone lines. Pitch shifters can sound amazing too.

Natural Gate is such a great sounding LPG, one of my favourite modules

Thanks Andrew, very cool!

Massive Clipping vibes from this and I love it. Great vid!

I'd recommend looking up the Blaster Beam instrument. Basically a giant 5.5m long metal beam strung with tensed wires. Famously used in the first Star Trek movie and a few later productions. This spring reverb sounds a lot like it... which I guess isn't too surprising as they work on similar principles. It's also a bit like how they made the blaster sounds in Star Wars by attaching contact microphones to anchorwires for various radio-towers and banging on the wires. But it is fun to see that even at a modest size it still makes fun sounds.

Thats crazy! I had no idea springs can be used in such a way. What an amazing setup too! I never seen music look so scientific. 🤯

Oh my gosh Andrew play with convolution reverb. It’s amazing for this

That is cool that you show your modular collection in the background. Also, I can see the Moogs in the background. I hope Moog comes out with a new keyboard that is different and loaded.

We used to old 60's spring reverbs like this back in the 80's for experimental percussive & sound effects and loop it with tape loops 👍 ✌️

I had a Great British Spring Mk2. Was great for stereo thunder effects by kicking the pipe it was built into!

This is a lot like piano wire memory, which involves twisting a very long piano wire quickly. the twist flying along the wire is resent around the loop when it reaches the end and represents data

fire flames litty thank you andrew huang

Awesome reverb! Definitely gonna play with this stuff myself. Also I need more space storyline content I need it I need it

So interesting to see you discover something I discovered Freshman year by accidentally kicking the mixing desk where the spring reverb was mounted. Was interesting to see you combine the old with the new. BTW, when the mixing desk is a large chunk of plywood with lots of surface area, with the help of EQ and loud enough monitor speakers, you can get create feedback by getting the desk itself to vibrate... followed by conversations with your professor. lol

You have a gift! I appreciate you letting us into your world.

Gonna be joining your class, looking forwards to it :)

4:01 sounds like it could be the backbone to a horror movie score

Maaan, your synth setup is insane! Great video, very inspiring!

You are my constant reminder that music is just sound waves and that I can use whatever sounds I want to make music.

That was interesting, rhythmic gating, very powerful. Thanks for sharing this information to explore. I have a few reverb springs, I purchased at the dollar Store (they are inside plastic microphones, with no electronics). I'll try putting a mic on them, and running the signal through a gate that is being side key triggered, from a drum track/pattern.

That's a really intriguing idea!!! I will definitely have to try this.

The ending made me laugh out loud. Love your videos and the inspiration you provide!

Loved playing with springs need this in my life lol.
