I forgot to mention mind, I went down to b&q and spoke into more pipes. And found the solid metal pipes were much better for high end response. Also if it isn't copper the pun doesn't work :D.
If this project proves of interest I'll try other suggested materials. But when I have something in my head I'll be doing it my way. I just like the idea of a mahoosive tall copper spiral in a Perspex box. Lovely. Aluminium could have been good too I never tested it. But copper oohf. Pex and pvc sounded duller to my Ears similar to the hose pipe.

Idea: drain the plumbing in a whole-ass house, put mic in the sink in one end, and go to the other end of the house and put the speaker in a sink or something there. Capture the delays and reverberations of an entire plumbing system.

Maybe a house that's under construction, where they put the plumbing in, but didn't put water through it yet?

I’m just glad Sam uses his mad genius for good and not evil.

The first person on YouTube who didn’t use this much copper for a Tesla coil or whiskey still!

[Simple_But_Expensive]

Curiosly enough, this type of delay was used (in the form of mercury delay tubes) in early computer memory. It was necessary because at the time, memory was serial.

I just discovered your music yesterday. I saw the older version of the hose pipe delay yesterday -- and I bought a 50ft hose pipe today. I'm 64 and I was in my 20s with Depeche Mode and the whole synth scene. I've got a Kawaii K11, an Akai, Tascam 4-track cassette, and a digital effects processor. So, I lack your expertise in analog.


I love your music. You have all the vibe of the 1980s with none of the posing and pretense. You're comfortable being you and it comes across. I'm really digging the IRL analog DIY stuff you're doing. I'm in the USA originally from down south in Georgia. We watch Britbox and not USA since the writing is so good, normal looking people versus models, and the actors know how to act and aren't full of themselves.


When we come to UK someday -- we will schedule it around one of your shows.

About 5 minutes before you posted this video I booked a cross channel ferry ticket for a weekend trip to Kent, looking forward to coming to your museum on Sunday!

As a particle physicist this reminds me of an interesting delay technic we used for our signal processing:
Since some dozen years ago we hadnt enough storage to temporarily store a signal before deciding if it’s worth saving, we used huge barrels gilled with cable. The signal ran through it delayed and then a trigger decided, if the signal is worth keeping.

[ChartreuseKitsune]

One interesting thought would be to change the gas/fluid inside the copper pipe to get different delay times and possibly different tambres. Helium would have a speed 3x that of normal air, and something denser like sulphur hexafloride is almost 3x lower. With a suitable interface you could also go to liquids like water, but that would also increase the speed.

I played in a brass band for years and the cornet player used to do a solo of the post horn gallop with a garden hose and funnel on the end He did the doppler effect spinning the hose above his head.
Interesting idea. 👍👍

Mate, respect for how you listen to the feedback of your audience and then make your own choices from there. I see a strength of character and artistic courage that shows me strengths I need to build on my journey to being a better bloke. Thanks.

[hugodesrosiers-plaisance]

Dude, you are 100% about to get sneaked-up on by a major leagues rabbithole, with that physical delay stuff.
And we are going to love every second of material you chuck our way. ✌️

[SpergSnakeSecretStash]

firm handshakes from across the pond. you are an amazing soundsmith. keep up the fun!

[Sevetamryn]

This is amazing! reverb / delay from physical devices is always something special to discover.

[kateapple]

The gold chain and the adidas breaker.. like a proper London dj, sir! 😂❤❤❤

[mariow]

Dude looks like mad scientist. Has mad curiosity about boring stuff and make it seem interesting for people that don't have slightest interest in the subject. It really is fun to see people passionate about things they like. The more mad scientists like you the better.

[BunkerMentality]

Apparently there were full height risers built into BBC Television Centre, housing massive vertical loops of cable that could be tapped into at different points to provide variable video delays. Long after these were replaced with electronic delays, the cable remained in place. An old colleague of mine had a tour of the studios in the early 2000’s and was allowed into the delay towers.

[DeadKoby]

I've always contemplated making one of these... but I've not been doing enough recording to justify it. I love that Sam just has a go at whatever idea sounds cool and fun.

At 1:00 the Sticker on the drum machine that says Binni&Jahn caught my attention immediatelly. I have a 40+ year old guitar amp (Echolette ca 30 manufactured in the GDR) with the same sticker on it. Its from a no longer existing music/instrument store from Straubing in Bavaria. What a neat coincidence

[PapaBPoppin]

The first hose iteration video got my attention real quick (just last week the algo was so kind). My excitement of seeing this follow up, I immediately subbed, and excited to binge your back catalogue and also see what your future brings!!
