They're called Klangphonics. Here's some more:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAbMBUvsn6s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAbMBUvsn6s)
The Ukelele guy is pretty good.
I was partying with these guys in Belfast after their gig a little while back. Absolute legends, all of them. The two on the right did a DJ set for everyone at the party and blew the roof off the place. So glad to see them getting the recognition they deserve!
A computer.
Edit... Wow this getting too much attention for me lol.
For the record, it might be an analog synth, so not technically a computer. This day in age those are much less common. Analog synth use capacitors and variable resistors and many other electrical components to change the electric signals with pedals/nobs.
Alterations to the wavelength change the audible sound of the instrument.
Either way, Id bet it was recorded digitally so..... Computer lol.
You wouldn't normally call an analog synth a computer, even if they share some components. There's probably a microcontroller in the pressure washer though.
From the look of it, it's not a Moog Taurus. The lack of anything on the top except the logo looks much closer to the [Studiologic MP-117 MIDI Controller Pedal Board](https://www.sweetwater.com/c520--Key_Pedal?highlight=MP117&mrkgadid=&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=&mrkgbflag=&mrkgcat=&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=92700073384080333&lid=92700073384080333&ds_s_kwgid=58700008069260214&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007215323&dsproductgroupid=1852936823967&product_id=MP117&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&device=m&network=u&matchtype=&adpos=largenumber&locationid=9024591&creative=625135836142&targetid=pla-1852936823967&campaignid=18467073267&awsearchcpc=&&&gclid=CjwKCAjw_YShBhAiEiwAMomsEC9eQ41cxHSmLZ-9Rc-kpiVvWrEvsSCyAJy0qp_1VUmdTD8uvBUoFBoCq7UQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) which would need a.... computer.
Analog synths are still produced on a massive scale. There was a moment in the past where a lot of people switched to vst plugins but the analog market is now more thriving and accessable than ever. Even for people with a small budget.
It's an analog subtractive synth, so no (unless it's one of the modern remakes that does have a computer chip). It's *electronic* for sure, but not a computer because it doesn't perform operations on data (there are no discrete bits). Same way that feeding a microphone into a tube amp is electronic but not computerized.
In more practical terms, you could theorerically build something similar in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with nothing more than basic electronic components (capacitors, resistors, transistors, and the like) although prepackaged ICs make it a lot easier (and smaller) than not.
I fully understand the technical difference. I have a strong background in electronics, I think you gave a very good description.
I am also an amateur musician! Electric guitar, and after 20 years I'm just starting to branch out to other instruments. I got a midi controller for drum machines other virtual instruments.
The title is still a bit disingenuous as far as laymen understanding goes. Analog synths and similar devices are RIGHT up to the edge of computer about as close as you could *technically* get.
It looks like the Studiologic MP-117 MIDI Controller Pedal Board to me. If you look at the Moog Taurus (old and new), it really looks very different.
There's a ton of stuff on the top of it (because it's analog). All I see on this (in multiple videos) is the logo which looks very much like this midi controller.
It’s very [common to pass some seminal fluid when straining to poop](https://doctor.ndtv.com/faq/why-does-a-sticky-transparent-liquid-come-out-while-passing-stools-29572/amp/1).

Imagine this mf shows up asking if you want your back deck pressure washed and says he can get it done with some of his guys on the weekend.
Then you step out back to see how they're doing and see this.
Reminds me of old industrial bands like Test Department or Crash Worship.
Edit: throwing in a bunch of other names too, since people are asking anyway...
Throbbing Gristle
Cabaret Voltaire
SPK
Monte Cazazza
Fad Gadget
Einsturzende Neubauten
People don’t remember but industrial music is THIS, banging on pipes in empty factories and slamming car doors and drill hits….
This brings me back to my morrisey days, dear GOD was I angry at the world.
I wish I’d never gone away from that passionate, angry person but now I’m older and boring.
Yeah kinda without a computer but not really lol it is so insanely processed. This would sound way different recorded directly off a microphone or in person lol
The voice isn't perfectly synced which makes me think this isn't even the actual recording of those vocals. The second line you start hearing the word 'feeling' before that microphone is even up to his mouth yet it's perfectly distorted
also he lifts the power washer at the end but the sound is still going and doesn’t change, making me suspect that they recorded and mixed the tracks separately and then recorded a “live video” meaning they’re totally cheating because that’s more or less exactly what electronic music is
the powerwasher sound is sidechained to the kick, so yea.
well i guess you could perform it live anyway. set up the mics, set up the tracks and processing, and it should sound good. i'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it was done that way.
Saw a guy in a pedestrian overpass in Vegas with a whole kitchen worth of pots and pans cutting a mean drum solo.
Have rhythm and the tools you use will only make you seem more badass.
No computer?
#doubt
That baseline is to deep. Where should it come from? And there are some high other notes that didn't seem to belong to this ensemble. But great non the less.
The title says without A computer, implying that this was made with no audio engineering like normal techno music is. I am assuming you are counting the megaphone, powerwasher circuit board, and video equipment as computers, but in doing so you are missing OP's point of the video and why this feat of music they have achieved is actually quite impressive!
>implying that this was made with no audio engineering
But it 100% was.
There is absolutely FX and EQ on this, at a minimum, and it was likely recorded via tracking, not the single take we're watching. It's way too clean for a live, outdoor recording (especially with a fucking trash can), and the vocals, HH, and kick are far too present.
Have you ever heard a megaphone with that low-end and clarity? That's not what they sound like. And it's not even at his mouth when the perfect vocals begin when he says "feeling pressure" for the first time
I think this is awesome music with a cool video. The claim that it's made "without a computer," even in spirit, is simply a lie, and there's a zero percent chance that it sounds like this live.
Yeah I think it's a great video but the audio was clearly recorded separately from the video. There's no way a megaphone sounds that clean over the sound of a pressure washer, or any of it would have the right audio balance.
it WOULD be great, but it's absolutely disingenuous about the whole thing.
I guaranteeeeeee it's mixed on a computer too, and that kick drum is synthetic, and the megaphone was dubbed in at the very least.
all computer.
it's incredibly common for videos to claim these things, people are like "wow, interesting", and if you take away the premise it's... just a music video.
Definitely not a moog taurus. Go look at pictures of the taurus and the top panel. Looks like a Studiologic MP-117, so probably an off-camera computer.
I think it's a floor controller, about $600. I still would keep it fat away from the washer.
https://reverb.com/p/studiologic-mp-113-midi-foot-pedal?hfid=61786414
It's an input device that's controlling something that is hopefully very far away with the rest of the well protected recording equipment.
Once again. I think that's it. I thought it was a Moog Taurus until I looked a little closer at the lettering on the top stage right of the device.
I have an old analog (i.e. no computer inside) audio mixer with a pretty awesome analog bucket-chain based echo/delay feature.
IOW it can be done, and it was done frequently in the 80s and around
With audio production there is a distinction between analog and digital circuitry. There a lot of devices used with audio that will have a circuit board of some kind, but are explicitly not a computer or digital.
Early synthesizers were purely analog. e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsW2EDGbDqg
yes but there is such a thing as Industrial Techno and it sounds kinda like this
otherwise you could just say “this is more like EBM” hahaha if you REALLY wanna be a 🤓
Folks, techno used to be called industrial because it would sample sounds from the real world like this and make music with it. Funny that it has come back full circle.

Guys I dig the vibe but I’m having a party this weekend and you said the power washing would be done yesterday.
They are working on it. They have begun feeling pressure.
[удалено]
*PRESSURE*

"Pushing down on me..."
The water needs more PRESSURE.

Another one washes the dust-ah!
That one spot looks good... Now move to the right a bit!
"Actually, take your time. This will make a way tighter party than a clean driveway."
Tight, tight, tight...
This is what happens when you hire The Skids to do lawn work you could be doin’ yerselves.
It's almost not worth thinking about.

Tbf, look at the lads in the video, I’m surprised I was the first one to say it, frankly.
Tooo be faaaair
Wondrous
Strrt!
When a friend asks for help you help him.
They are the party!
So you're in a band? What instrument do you play? Kärcher "K7 Power" Hochdruckreiniger
I have the smaller version of this pressure washer and I love it.
[удалено]
Lol that’s hilarious
Yah I legit cackled at that comment. Only in context…
Honestly this name would not look too out of place in the synth section.
Yeah, I can't afford the good German stuff. I have a Ryobi Powermate II (the plug in one, not the dinky 18v).
Wait till you hear the Kärcher Hochdruckreiniger HD 13/18-4 SXA Plus
That is both hilarious and awesome. I want more. Also the dude on the uke is amazing.
They're called Klangphonics. Here's some more: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAbMBUvsn6s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAbMBUvsn6s) The Ukelele guy is pretty good.

> blew the roof off the place They need to point that pressure washer a different way
Haha excellent. They all seem very talented.
Is it just me, or does YouTube force this to be displayed in landscape even though it's a portrait perspective?
It's not a short so it displays in the normal video player, only shorts get the portrait player
Guess I'll have to remember to wear shorts
I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!
*Intense Pokémon Trainer battle music starts*
*It's an electronica remix, but made entirely with power tools*
I force all shorts to play in the normal player but mostly just fuck shorts they're stupid.
It's because it's encoded as a landscape video. Videos don't have to be shorts as long as they are encoded as portrait.
We're losing the battle, [landscape bros](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dechvhb0Meo).
We've lost this battle years ago
The technology just isn't there yet.
They may have matted the video. YouTube used to only support landscape aspect ratio.
YT doesn't have the technical staff to code such a thing (scaling the video player)
Not anymore they don’t
Holy shit these guys are awesome
Ty for the link!!
I would absolutely pay to go see these guys do a show!
Front row bout to feel the pressure irl
The ukulele guy was my guitar teacher for a while. Absolute champ that one!
That must have been confusing
it was real clean for sure.
Agreed! Uke dude is going off!
The band do not look like they're feeling any pressure.
They must give us MOAR!!!!!!
See above and also look up Savage Aural Hotbed.
But... seeing above your response just makes me read my response... /jk
That's cool af! Is that an electric ukulele? What's on the floor, a foot synthesizer?!
A computer. Edit... Wow this getting too much attention for me lol. For the record, it might be an analog synth, so not technically a computer. This day in age those are much less common. Analog synth use capacitors and variable resistors and many other electrical components to change the electric signals with pedals/nobs. Alterations to the wavelength change the audible sound of the instrument. Either way, Id bet it was recorded digitally so..... Computer lol.
And another smaller one inside the megaphone lol
Oh... Oh god... Am I watching this on a computer too??
It’s computers all the way down.
Always has been
Living in a simulation confirmed
You wouldn't normally call an analog synth a computer, even if they share some components. There's probably a microcontroller in the pressure washer though.

Analog synths are still produced on a massive scale. There was a moment in the past where a lot of people switched to vst plugins but the analog market is now more thriving and accessable than ever. Even for people with a small budget.
If it's truly an old analog tube synth. More than likely, it's a much more common effects control board which it's absolutely a computer.
It's an analog subtractive synth, so no (unless it's one of the modern remakes that does have a computer chip). It's *electronic* for sure, but not a computer because it doesn't perform operations on data (there are no discrete bits).

How do you know what it is? I assumed it’s a midi controller hooked up to a computer.

It's the foot setup for an electric 'pipe' organ. Nord makes them IIRC.
The Moog Taurus pre-dates that by almost 50 years.
You're right, I don't know why I get Nord and Moog mixed up.
Moog Taurus - incase anyone wants to know, its a bass synth, its where the bass is coming from, its not made anymore, btw
It looks like the Studiologic MP-117 MIDI Controller Pedal Board to me. If you look at the Moog Taurus (old and new), it really looks very different. There's a ton of stuff on the top of it (because it's analog). All I see on this (in multiple videos) is the logo which looks very much like this midi controller.
The dudes in Rush would play these to add their synth textures live.

Because its edited and processed to be in time and sound robotic. All of the individual pieces are likely timeshifted so they’re perfect and robotic.

Proving that all you need for a rhythm section is a trashcan and a high-hat
All you need for a rhythm section is rhythm. The tools you use for it are absolutely secondary.
Saw a guy in a pedestrian overpass in Vegas with a whole kitchen worth of pots and pans cutting a mean drum solo. Have rhythm and the tools you use will only make you seem more badass.
St. Anger by Metallica intensifies
Is the trash can Lars himself or the way he recorded his snare?
Yes
So, like that time Phil Collins decided he didn't know what a snare should sound like.
There's a whole kick bass there, too.
This fucking slaps
No computer? #doubt That baseline is to deep. Where should it come from? And there are some high other notes that didn't seem to belong to this ensemble. But great non the less.
I'm figuring they didn't mix the song with tapes, so a computer was involved.
I count *at least* 3 computers in that video
More than that. But the spirit of the title is that it isn't samples run through a DAW in a computer.
...explain the kick drum then? And the vocal sample for the megaphone, which isn't live either?
Yeah, the whole thing is an overdub.

I’m a full time music producer. Can confirm. This video is incredibly disingenuous. Cool music but definitely utilizing computers.
True. If they used the camera audio this would all sound like shit
Whatever is giving that uke delay and what that foot pedal is connected to
That foot pedal seems like moog Taurus. It’s extremely expensive and I would never ever expose it to so much moisture.
That’s because you don’t feel the….pressure
Definitely not a moog taurus. Go look at pictures of the taurus and the top panel. Looks like a Studiologic MP-117, so probably an off-camera computer.
I think it's a floor controller, about $600.
