Using a telegraph switching system as an on/off switch to add some stutter to my guitar playing. Really went to town with the props and set design for this one :)

Hope you enjoy!

A new genre was discovered on this day. It shall be known as "Telemath Rock".

James Rudolf

I don't know what it is, but the way you experiment with different sounds and somehow make it sound enjoyable is just so damn inspiring

Matt

Bloody brilliant .... I have to wonder if you enjoyed the music or the acting more...

Andrew

If the nazis intercepted that telegraph the war would have finished there then haha! Beautiful song and what an awesome and creative use of a kill switch! Is that a real pedal ?

Jeanine McCarthy

Love this! Do you think that being a percussionist as well made the telegraph easier for you to "play"? It looks so effortless and it sounds so great.

thanks! and maybe? I guess being able to tap a rhythm certainly helps here, but it's pretty simple so I'd imagine anyone who would be able to play the guitar part also wouldn't have any trouble with the telegraph rythms

RobScallon

Thank you! and yes it is. It's a pedal from Coppersound. They found me at the NAMM show in January and gave me one. Figured I'd be interested in it, and they were correct.

It's really great to be able to do both. I like throwing in a scripted backdrop for music videos from time to time to explore a more film making side of things. I'd say I enjoyed pretending to be an incompetent soldier more then the music this time around. Doing the one take videos can be a bit nerve racking on the music side.

Matt
>>10694112

That makes complete sense. I think sometimes although music can be very expressive and allow you to explore yourself a fair old bit it's not always as fun as it could be. Seems to me you had a cracking laugh and to be fair I had one watching you. Cheers!

Matt Kouba

Your historic experimentation is awesome I loved the wax one. I am just listening to this one, first not watching the video, it works in a weird way. Go WAY back in time.... errrrrrr logs and rocks, bronze age, etc. Be Good!

Jan-Thomas

Great video. I'm sure there is a hidden message to be discovered when you play the music backwards and translate the telegraph-code into real words. ;)

Danielle Ali Shah

Loved the video Rob! My mother watched it beside me and thought it was a little stupid so she laughed the whole time, keep doing you and I hope you continue to make awesome content!

Killer Rabbit Media

Great video mate, love the extra effort you put into the background. Keep it up

Olivia De Koster

No matter if you make your sets beautiful or just play in the comfort of your home the result is always the same: breathtaking and inspiring music! Keep on playing, Rob!

Stefan C Bauer

Holy shite, one of your best. Weirdly atmospheric.

So cool. Where'd you pick up the old school 8th Army Band patch/arc? For those who don't know, 8th Army (the Umbrella Corp-like logo) are one of the major US Army elements still serving in S. Korea ever since the war, and their band gets their own arc added to the patch to identify them. 8th Army was my first unit as a tubist and vocalist for the Army, so I couldn't miss that costume detail!

Now watching the commentary, I suppose it came from the prop shop. Still a nice extra detail, having a band unit identifier!

RobScallon
>>10698711

haha thanks Matt! I really like this direction too. Though this one wasn't even planned, the telegraph pedal just kinda feel into my lap. But this "using old equipment" genre I'd like to continue. Maybe not the bronze age yet though haha

RobScallon
>>10701848

Oh I wish :) that was the first idea for this. Play along to a backing track with someone who knows morse code on the telegraph communicating a secret message.

RobScallon
>>10706163

Thanks Jake! Definitely a different filming experience using all these props, was really fun

RobScallon
>>10746294

Wow... that is fascinating. So you've worn these same patches then? We're practically band mates in whatever fictional universe this video exists in. I wouldn't have thought that these logos would still be representing groups still serving. My grandfather fought in the Korean war. I wonder if he would have recognized the logo. We got this and all of our props from Zap Props in Chicago. Which is essentially a gigantic warehouse full of potential props filmmakers might need to utilize. One worker there had knowledge of what the batches meant, but wasn't there at the time. So only later emailed us to with some basic info on them. I was unaware of what these patches signified outside of that they were definitely American.

Tom Penrod

Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
