00:00Hello, sir. Hello.
00:05Hello, I'm Charlie Puth, and today I'm in the Bon Appetit test kitchen, and I'm gonna make a track out
00:10of
00:10everything that's around me because my whole goal is to just show that anything can be made into music.
00:16I want to inspire people to create music with whatever they have.
00:21Let's find some instruments.
00:24Do we have a...
00:27Blender? A Vitamix. Will it blend? Remember that? No? Okay.
00:41How does it get a little... Is there only one speed? Or variable? Here we go.
00:46Hold on a second. Do we have a microphone?
00:51Okay. When it goes all the way up, it's hitting a G.
00:56But I wanted it to be minus three, so I'll just...
01:03I'll just do some s***.
01:09Is that a pleasant sound to you? No, not at all, but I'm gonna make it...
01:13I have something stupid in mind. I'll get to why I recorded that blender. So here...
01:19That's what we recorded. I pitched it down a little bit. Put a little reverb on it.
01:25So it sounds like it's in, you know, like a concert hall. Let's cut this up. I just wanted just
01:30like a little...
01:33Just a little, like a pizzicato string, like...
01:38Let's take some highs off the blender reverb. So it kind of sounds like it's underwater. The EQ bend is
01:45going to go...
01:47So it sounds like you've walked outside of a building now, and that's just what the blender sounds like.
01:54And there's this great plugin for all my music producer nerds out there called Lossi.
01:59It kind of just degrades the audio and makes it sound like you downloaded it off Bear Share or LimeWire
02:06or Kazaa.
02:07Never use those.
02:09You can kind of hear the artifacts a little, you know what I mean? Like...
02:17And now that resonance that's like kind of above like 6 to 10k above there...
02:27It's kind of fun because you can put a little... Let me...
02:38That's from the blender, and then you put this little pattern together, and then just drop everything down a third,
02:45and you have the start of DTMF by Bad Bunny, who just played the Super Bowl. Such a good song.
02:50Okay, all made from a blender.
02:52Do we have a... I can't whistle, but like a tea kettle? Ah! They put it right here for me.
03:00Cool.
03:02How does this work? Is there water in it already? We're gonna wait for it to boil. I'm actually
03:07terrified of setting off the fire alarm, so I don't really turn on ovens too much.
03:15I'm not a very good cook. I'm kind of good at one thing. Oh!
03:19No.
03:23Sounds kind of startle me anyway, but I have a baby on the way, and I have to get used
03:28to certain noises.
03:29That's for sure. I'm not opposed to making music with weird sounds in it. I just didn't do it for
03:36this album. It was more about put the life experience first, and then find music that
03:41happens to go along with it. It was less about, like, find the interesting sound. This is just saved for
03:47you guys.
03:49Any minute now. Oh, finally.
04:01All right. Anxiety. Okay. Just to review, this is what we produced from the blender. It came from this.
04:10And now we have this. I'm gonna pitch it a little lower. A little lower. A little lower.
04:22Y'all can hear that? The little low sub? Okay. A little lower.
04:29I'm gonna make it super low. I'm gonna use this plugin called Decapitator to distort it, make it sound
04:36really fuzzy. Before, this is after. So now you kind of have the start of a bass.
04:52And what we're going to do now is we're going to take the sounds that we produce out of the
04:55tea kettle
04:56and put them on top of the blender.
05:03Ooh. So I'm going to make.
05:07And you put it all together.
05:14Okay. So we need some. That's the last thing we'll do. So I need a spoon.
05:21Um, to make this melody.
05:26Um, so any spoon will do. What are the smaller spoons? Can I slap them together?
05:33Yeah. Oh, this is fine. Ooh, holla.
05:39Um, I can just do it right here. I'll do a couple.
05:48Can I get a bigger spoon actually?
05:56No. Still a tiny spoon, but I'm just going to hit it on something. Maybe a glass? Can I?
06:01Oh, that'll work.
06:06Oh.
06:11This will work. Is this someone's water? Sorry.
06:18Sorry.
06:25Um, that was not slick. So
06:32it sounds like there's like two notes in there. So we're going to melodyne out.
06:40Amazing.
06:43Pitch it down low.
06:45It's like a different tonality when you, it does like artifacts on it.
06:49I think any instrument you can hand make, it doesn't sound so perfect. And there's pitch
06:56variations and it just, it just sounds like you yourself made it. It feels very human. It's very
07:01important to be human nowadays. Pitch it a little lower.
07:09Kind of sounds like the teriyaki boys, but that's not the song we're making.
07:15So you have the blender, the tea whistler, and the spoons.
07:26I love Bad Bunny. It was so chaotic backstage. We didn't get to
07:30see each other, but now I've just recreated one of his great songs with this kitchen.
07:46And that's how you make a Bad Bunny song with some kitchen appliances from the test kitchen.
07:53Just cooked up the beat. Or part of the beat.
07:57What's this? What is this fun cake?
08:03Really? So there's alcohol in it?
08:06I'll take a tiny bite.
08:08Really? I'll just take this really big dagger.
08:14Oh my God. It's amazing.
08:16Wait, how the did you make that?
08:19Wait, that's so good. This is amazing.
08:22Oh God. Oh, that could have been the kick drum.
08:25Okay. Thank you, everybody. Sorry for being weird.
