YouTube ProfileI'm really into the idea of teaching an octopus to play the piano. But I wonder—does anyone here have real-life experience with octopuses? Right now all I know they are really smart and has 8 hella nice legs.
I’d like to find someone I can work with to figure out how to teach it, how to design the piano, and a lot more before committing too deeply. Maybe you have contacts with researchers who could be of help.
You can DM me on Discord or talk in engineers-only chat to discuss the idea with other craMattias KrantzPost · 1 month ago
So the muting people in real life gun is quite an interesting concept. My first plan was to use phase inversion—basically, listen to the sound wave of the person, then invert it and cancel it out. This works amazingly in audio recording software, but if there is even a 1 millisecond delay between the original audio and the inverted one, it has no effect at all. Also, trying to do this in an outdoor environment using a speaker adds even more issues like audio reflections, etc. But if it were this easy, obvMattias KrantzPost · 1 month ago
Related to the "I 3d printed a $1,000,000 piano (pls don’t sue me)" idea, what type of piano design would be the most interesting to recreate in my garage using just 3d printing and glue for 1/1000 of the price? I noticed the muting people in real life idea is more popular so I will see which one seems most fun as a video.Mattias KrantzPost · 2 months ago
What would you want to see? I am thinking of ideas that is worth wasting time on. i will do another poll later of some other ones. If you don't like these let me know what you would rather want to see, or how to make the existing ones more interesting. Engineers, thank you for your service! 🫡Mattias KrantzPost · 2 months ago
I am working on a video like "Making your stupid guitar ideas " or "Trying your worst guitar ideas". Anyway I got a list of some really bad ideas, but they are all from myself...
So engineers what is some experiments/mods for guitar you wish me to test in a video? Most upvoted comment wins:Mattias KrantzPost · 2 months ago
ok the gun piano definitely needs some updates before we take it to the paintball range and battle some people. Currently the pressing of keys was wayyy to heavy to be able to play it like an actual piano. No it's more like smashing the keys like kid. I was also thinking that putting it on a rotating base would make it more practical, kind of like a turret.
I had some ideas of using it more like a marble machine and shooting drums and musical targets (like tuned steel plates) but the aim of paintball is wMattias KrantzPost · 4 months ago
Finally I completed the gun piano! Each key controls it’s own gun that can aim. The better piano player, the more powerful you will become behind it.
But me and my camera man Carl will record some studf with it the coming days. What would you like us to try?
For coneft it’s paintball guns. So they can shoot outside with paintball, or inside with rubber rounds. I was thinking of shooting drum set, big xylofone bars like a Marble machine on bluetooth. But I am open to other ideas!Mattias KrantzPost · 5 months ago

I am looking for one of you who will help me work on projects in person at my workshop. It's been a bit frustrating working on trickier projects and not getting anywhere! Check this video for more. Also share it with your swedish friends (who are good at making cool things that shouldn't exist) https://youtu.be/GSVbWZ1C0t0?si=BaSKB...Mattias KrantzPost · 7 months ago
engineers, if I want a standard affordable bass that is very versatile (slap, pluck etc) affordable is like 150-450 usd. What do I get? I got an acoustic bass currently, but it sounds really bad when I plug it into an amp (as acoustic guitar also do IMO). I'm doing a little project were having a bass would be great!Mattias KrantzPost · 9 months ago
Ever wanted to meet me IRL?
Ah, damn it. You’re not supposed to answer that!
Anyway, I’ll be at an amazing creator event this summer at Siegfried’s Mechanical Instrument Museum in Germany. This is the place where I brought my “electric” piano for the pro pianist to play. You might also see Carl, my sometimes cameraman and professional spidermilker.
The cool thing is, they have both the Marble Machines there fro Wintergatan, and it’s going to be really interesting to take a deeper look at themMattias KrantzPost · 9 months ago
