If you want a longer reverb time from that lamp, speed up (and pitch up) your audio X2, X4 or X8 before sending it to the lamp, and then bring the lamp spring audio back to original pitch in daw.

@@DavidHilowitzMusic it was original multitrack trick to get different reverb sound. Especially useful if you have one reverb room only (most of us have none). Send reverb/ Record reverb at 15 ips, while playback at 30.

Good grief, when I was a music student in the early 80s, we had to find a household object that could serve as a musical instrument, and compose pieces for it, and I chose my spring lamp! So, yes, I wrote a rhythmic little thing for my spring lamp!

Neat!........this video reminded me of when I was a bored youngster, and I noticed our wooden screen door had a simple steel spring, to pull it closed. On its own it would sometimes make a melodic "sproing" sound, when the door was opened abruptly. That accidental discovery, lead to me "playing" the spring for my own entertainment, and if it annoyed a grownup, all the better. ha!

Refreshing, from the inexpensive gear and parts, to the crazy simple yet highly effective lo-tech representation of the sound molecules! And of course your chill, yet engaging presentation style.

Also to extend the length of the spring reverb you can use a feedback loop. For more control I know there are some modules specificaly for this. Could maybe be an interesting part 2 if you wanted to carry on with this experiment. Theoretically you should be able to make a Crude Infinte reverb out of this lamp, for a lovely droning lamp !!!
