MAKE A STUDIO DELAY WITH SCIENCE AND A HOSE.

You can now get both of the EP's on vinyl!!! there is a bandcamp vinyl campaign link above!!! PEACE

Sir there's people blowing in the hoses... again

You and Hainbach make a great Adam Savage / Jamie Hyneman-type duo

6:38 : 89ms is just around exactly what you would expect -> 30m hose divided by (speed of sound) 343m/sec = 0.0874sec, or 87.4ms. This will change depending on temperature but the hose is probably a bit longer than 30m (so they don't go to prison for false advertising) and that's likely where the other 1.6ms came from. 89ms is 1/16th notes at 168bpm.

Can you call the manager there's two weird guys lurking about up the plumbing aisle, they're making strange noises and blowing in the hosepipes! "Excuse me lads, can I help you?" "We're fine, we are going to be recording a song called Pipe Dreams."

When Hainbach and Sam are going to Obi, you know it's gonna be good. I wish there was a regular segment where those two could go to a hardware store and build mad instruments from random stuff they buy there.

Good to have you back!

Back in the 70's when I was a child my grandfather had a huge coil (maybe some 100 meters) of 1" polyethene water pipe at the summer place. I would always be shouting and speking into the pipe and listening to the echo coming through the other end.

You need to get a hose that is made of plastic, one of those pexal hoses, that also has aluminium insertion. This hose is rubbery, it will dampen the sound. 100% procent will sound a lot beter with a pexal hose.

Two guys tooting into hoses in the hardware store is one of the best things I've seen on the internet this year. 😂

IIRC, the og. Time Cube had 2 hoses of 14ft. and 16ft. respectively, which gave it 14 and 16 ms of delay. For practical purposes, you can calculate delay times with 1ft.=1ms or 1meter=3 ms.

"Next week, we'll learn how to make a looper with a coffee grinder. Stay tuned!"

I work in a plumbing warehouse and I’m surrounded by coils of pipe in tons of sizes and materials. Wonder what a 100 foot coil of 2” copper would sound like? Or maybe a 500 feet roll of gas pipe?? Gonna have to try this out on a few 😊

DIY talk boxes use speaker horn drivers for the speaker, which are designed to pump sound out of a small hole that you can just shove a tube into.

Back in the early 60s I had an earthing spring from a TV CRT. At one end was a loud speaker attached by 3 x threads through the cone at the other end was a record player cartridge. This used a stylus that was held in by a screw. The stylus was replaced by a sewing needle and again thread was used to attach it to the spring. This gave a beautiful sound to the input. Although my mother didn't agree! Also you could tap the spring and produce noises that would considered to be in the Star Wars canon.

Speed of sound in air 330 metres per second. 30m of hose pipe = 30/330 = 0.909 seconds, or 90.9mS, so you measurement in the video at 6:36 of 89mS is pretty spot on. I love old school solutions that are sadly just digitised these days. I’ve been aware of spring reverb and delay units, but pipe delays were not something I’d come across before, so thanks for sharing.

It's worthy of a like just watching you two walk around a B&Q playing a hosepipe. I wish we could have caught a customer or workers reaction. Oh it's those two nevermind 😁

In the 60s, reverb was something everyone seemed to want, even in our cars. They made reverb units especially for car. These used the spring units that were originally designed for Hammond organs, only smaller. When you went over a bump in the road, ....twang, twang, twang. Anyway, Popular Science or Mechanics, I think Mechanics, did a thing where they used a garden hose, a funnel, speaker and microphone, similar to the one you built in the video. I always wanted to build on myself, however, I never seemed to have the time or money at that time.

As a Canadian, all I can say is: "What a pair of hosers, eh?"😂 When I was a kid, we used to fool around with garden hoses like this all the time, talking to each other . You had to be careful that your friend didn't get cute and attach his end to the outside water tap!

Air/Water Tube delays are watery cool :) Like trying to sing in an indoor pool room. Ive often wondered about flat springs as delay (laser cut sheet metal to a spiral, place a driver element at the center, and pick up points along the spiral arc) or using the spongy action of a column of magnets in a tube, South to South then North to North, as there is a period of absorption time before each repelling magnet moves next, drive one end and pick up on the other :)
