I used songs from Blue Wednesday find him here he’s awesome:

[ElectroBOOM]

HAAA HA HA! This is awesome! Thanks for including me in the design, although I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING! :D

[TheSuperSushiMaster]

As an electrical engineer, seeing those resistors glow red was terrifying

[DjSunexx]

Matthias: "like, should I worry about it?"

ElectroBOOM: "yes, you should!" *cue maniacal laughter*

[Mattiaskrantz]

I'm working on a tesla coil piano that will play the notes through electric arcs. This was just to clear the piano from strings cus we won't need them. But it ended up looking 3x cooler than I expected. Also, when I took the thumbnail, three strings snapped. In case you wondered what actually happened with the string damage

[cryingemoji]

The fact that you got ElectroBoom to guide you in building this is goddamn legendary

[connortremblay]

I have never seen a resistor glow like that, and something about it happening twice and being completely unaddressed both times is truly part of the magic of these videos.

[EagleMitch]

Time to play "Through the Fire and Flames" on this instrument. It's like it was made for it!

[VexxyDaProtogen]

if you listen closely, you can actually hear that the sparks are making their own pitches and music actually sorta matching with the notes he plays

[norXmal]

Wasn't ever expecting this collaboration, I am all for it.

[Christopher_Wheeler]

Now do a duet with Mehdi and his electric guitar…

BTW, you’ve gotten much better at playing. Loved the Zelda song.

[lickey]

The Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team always has a piano in stadium at the games that is played live to hype the crowd up. This piano fits their theme 1000%

[nottrademarked]

I love that ElectroBOOM can just reach off to his side and suddenly be armed with a capacitor and means to charge it

[VerchielxKanda]

Mattias: "But there's one tiny problem."
Me: "The piano is wood and could cause a fire-"
Mattias: "I've never worked with electricity before."
Me: "OH."

[Pikakeung]

Thunderstruck is such an appropriate song for this piano! Lol. As an electrical engineer, I got cold sweat from you discharging the caps or plugging the prototype in for the first time. Speaking from experience, I get this hallow feeling in the stomach before I test a prototype that has a chance of catastrophic failure.
All in all, this is a great piano! It actually sounds good in the video despite being hard to hear in real life.

[clintgrimes]

“Why start thinking now?” — this seems like a phrase that deserves fame.

[StuffandThings_]

Now *this* is a collab I absolutely _never_ expected and never knew I needed. Two chaotic engineers together is absolutely amazing! Next up you ought to try and get a hold of Wintergatan, I imagine you two could make some amazing mechanical piano contraption.

[peejay]

As an Electrical Engineer I admire both your level of cringe around high voltages and your level of insanity!! That's something I thought only I would be mad enough to make! Those circuit boards were beautiful, amazing job all around.

[Artstical]

I can see a future where metal bands start commissioning pianos with Mattias.

Rammstein gets a keyboard that shoots a flame jet whenever a key is pressed.
Dillinger Escape Plan gets a piano with Fibonacci tuning.
Dimmu Borgir gets a piano with razors instead of hammers.

And so on. Only Mattias would be up to the task.

It's always impressive, really. What a joy to watch your new project come to life :D

[aaronnorman]

I think the reason your hammers weld together is because you are effectively using them as a switch causing inductive feedback causing a voltage spike high enough to weld the contact points, the solution is to add a diode in reverse bias to the end of your string, however that will clamp your voltage so you need to choose a proper diode that will produce a good enough arc but not weld the contacts.

[stevezanders]

This has to be the wildest thing you've made yet. I've never felt so nervous for someone I don't know.
