thx for all the comments you funny little men, already thinking about new ideas meanwhile, if any of you want you can follow my art ig @pakique i'm not the best (not even close), but i'm trying to get somewhere
u can see he's using a fairly consistent technique and producing roughly the same sound every time. i wouldn't be surprised if this guy is a classically trained musician of some sort, unironically
@@SelfSuckGiraffe yes it's true only the most elite classically trained musicians are capable of the coveted "move the chair to the beat" technique. People have studied this for years and never figured it out.
It's really important you put your leading foot forward whilst leaning into the pull so as to ensure you're utilizing the chair's maximum capabilities, this is something that most chair enthusiasts misunderstand when attempting to play such a difficult song. This is a beautiful rendition of a difficult song played by an equally as difficult musical instrument.
I just started learning how to play chair, I can tell you have been playing for years! Your playing is so natural and confident. I'm hoping one day I will learn to play chair well enough for a live performance.
tip: if you ever listen to this song in a car, you can make the sound with your finger on the window. having a can to tap on makes it even more immersive.
I always thought it sounded like the metal laundry chute in my house growing up. Specifically when a huge pile of clothes went down, creating a suction and causing the sides to warp
O preço da cadeira é o que menos importa. O que fica muito nítido nesse vídeo é a pegada do cadeirista, tocando com muito feeling, imprimindo toda a sua emoção na música e tirando o melhor timbre do instrumento. Parabéns!
this brings back amazing memories from a sleepover i had about 2 years ago with a couple of buddies in high school where we played this game where we had cups, or any movable object, and we put on alberto balsam and we had to move it to that exact sound, it was suprisingly hard but fucking hilarious , i really miss those days.

You're alright in my book, Patrick 👌
Thank lil bud
i realize I am pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@@malakaiissac5819 hah broken comment bot
was "you funny little men" a subtle RDJ reference or am I reading into it too much? :)
this chair is perfectly tuned
I think the screws need to be tuned a little higher.
I think that Aphex Twin used a slightly out of tune chair, so if you're looking for a perfect cover you'll have to bring the chair up a quarter step
@@trashpigeon1164 but the stairs had carpet so he had to settle for the hallway
recorded in bankvault
😂😂😂😂😂😂
i would pay money to see someone play this in front of an audience
I think it would be cool if it was an instrument in a Alarms will sound performance
@@Radgerayden-ist no band just chair
@@hexxxo Lmao
@@hexxxo solo
I've actually witnessed a live cover of this...chair included.
99% preparation, 1% execution. Hilarious
That's genius to you.
@@ivoamari2438 It is remarkable.
@@ivoamari2438 go design a robot that can translate what animals are thinking.
100% chair
@@greenghost7907 please do this ivo. I really have to know
Can you share your setup? What acoustic chair model is this?
just a simple gibson ch-200 with oak legs and a 4-strings mahogany backpad for the aerodynamics
@@averageghoul what leg gauge do u use? are they maple, cedar?
@@sasa-bv9gu oak string
top comment
@@averageghoul Please give details of the flooring as well I love the resonance of the tiles
Now this is what I like to see in my UA-cam recommended
Same!
Yeah wtf
Ye
Love the paper set gently over the chair. Really changes the acoustics and gives it a deep, chairy sound.
It really does 😂
It's the partiture
Lyric sheet
Hahahaha
I love that his body language is indistinguishable from the one of a focused performer.

100% concentrated but yet so relaxed and comfortable with his art, genius!!!!
Especially the impatient percussionist walking off during his 18374 bar rest
It took 27 years for someone to perform Alberto Balsam properly.
This is literally my neighbors above every day
That's awesome. I'd love it if my neighbors did that, lucky you.
Brilliant
2:40 bro u had me for a sec
that part killed me
@@Ruhma.are you still alive?
Thats a Big D energy right there 😂😂😂
@@Oldhunter12gthat part killed him, he'll respawn
MAN WHAT A TEASE

_chair enthusiasts_
You can just see that his grip is very professional
Don't know why but I laughed at literally every chair scoot.
Lol this shit broke my brain
me too xD
Same
It's even funnier at .25x
i cannot believe i watched the whole video and same
I can only assume that you were first chair of your section during band class
I see you are one with the Dad jokes
Haaa
This comment hits so hard
they never liked me, guess who's the popstar now huh?
+
It’s so inspiring to watch a maestro play their instrument 🔥
i wanna know what else this guy plays lol
hahahaghahaha
This song always made me think of slipping and falling in a bathtub
that's fucking funny af
Rat puppy 🐀
lmao totally
Ok guess I'mma do my own cover now...
I am so glad that you put that in my head.
This is genuinely impressive though honestly, doing this for 5 minutes and hitting every cue isn't easy
Thats what im saying
now alberto balsalm is gonna start playing in my head each time I slide a chair awesome lmao
Lol It didnt already ? Every time you use a scissor it should play too xD
gamer
*moves chair slightly to the left*
I GOT ME SOME CHAIR PTSD
thgis song has the most emotional sounding chair
Best Aphex Twin cover on youtube
My dad has always said about how he would love to see someone do this for fun. I'll show this to him, thank you!
That is so lucky !!!!!!!
So this is what people mean when they say they play "musical chairs".
Lol
Literally came here to comment and the same thing. You beat me to the kill!
This is the thing i've always searched for... thank you for this masterpiece
Thx for your appreciation!
2:37 my favourite part
he followed rule of 5p: proper preparation presents perfect performance
Hey. Thank you for making an old Aphex Twin fan smile. This is very clever.
I can soooo relate to that!
@@alphathemoonunit5390 That you're old?
I smiled, once...
Happy to know that! :)
Same! So glad to see the youngins are into him. 😊
Were you rushing, or were you dragging?
i was using the dragging technique
He-he was doing both, technically speaking O.O
Rushing is more of a beginner technique, really.
ANSWER!
Not my tempo
plot twist, this is Richard
Richaird
No this is Alberto.
It’s actually Vidal Sasson
No, This Is Patrick
literally
Plot twist, this is Aphex
I'm going to chair-ish this moment forever
That pun is tearable
+
I love how he prepares himself before executing the scooting of the chair.
Its important to stay limber while playing the chair, as one could easily fatally injure themselves or others.
You are as a player on a triangle, very rarely needed, but important.
🤣
It needs more -cowbell- chair
Never thought about placing my music sheet on the chair’s seat like you do. Great inspiration for a beginner chair player, thank you for sharing
I just started learning how to play chair, I can tell you have been playing for years! Your playing is so natural and confident. I'm hoping one day I will learn to play chair well enough for a live performance.
How does this not have more views??
A classic.
it's beautiful how this instrument also has a builtin sheet music stand
i like how he has to completely reset his stance every time he scrapes the chair
Richard is crying tears of joy
how long have you been playing chair?
“...Here I come to save the day!” Not even Kaufman walked off stage during his bit like this.
LOL
Do you think he walks into music classes and yells out "ALRIGHT, I'm gonna play you something fantastic, take a seat"
"HEY! Not that seat!"
this is an amazing comment. Gold star, I say! ⭐️
There's nothing like recreating Aphex tracks with home appliences/ furniture. Well done lol!! 👍🏿
Thanks!! I'm glad you liked it
hey thaddeus u know that's the sound of an actual chair in the song right lol
@@SelfSuckGiraffe Really? I didn't know that. I heard Aphex Twin would pluck soda cans for certain songs
@@ThaddeusBigsby he's a mad genius
@@SelfSuckGiraffe I second that
3:40-3:47 are the best acts of the performance
This is a mfing masterpiece,
The absolute peak of human evolution
Yes, it is
Always thought that sample in the song was a chair being moved on the floor! Glad I’m not the only one.
The walk away into that stance at 3:27 was so powerful wheeeeww
Almost fell off my chair
tip: if you ever listen to this song in a car, you can make the sound with your finger on the window. having a can to tap on makes it even more immersive.
I've always thought it sounded a bit like a stuck windscreen wiper
I love people. Thank you for this masterpiece
I always thought it sounded like the metal laundry chute in my house growing up. Specifically when a huge pile of clothes went down, creating a suction and causing the sides to warp
I watched this while changing my clothes and now I’m laughing the shit out on bed only wearing my underwear. Quality content, best cover.
Imagine this is your introduction to Aphex Twin, thank you UA-cam gods
This guy is going places. What a genius :)
Please share the tabs or sheet music for this thanks
im dying. this is amazing
Yeah! Fantastic ;)
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

I’ll never forget when my brother told me it sounded like a chair. I’m so glad I got this on my recommendations. YOU ACTUALLY DONE IT 💯 I DIED
OMG first one actually sounded like the original one, what a brilliant cover!
25 years this sound has been in our heads, thank you for this.
27 maybe? 🤔
@@designerv5713 That would mean he created Alberto Balsam at 22, he really is a prodigy.
I laughed my ass off, this is just so perfect
I've been recommended hundreds of these by now and this is easily the best one
Dude, we just all sit here and smile in front of your performance.
Imagine you're his neighbor and also Aphex Twin fan
i lost it at 2:40
I lost it at 3:24
I've lost it
Total fake me out
SAME
All jokes aside, that's often resulting in a very cool and fitting and analogue sound.
Your dedication to the artform has not gone unnoticed. I salute your masterful rendition.
A bold interpretation. I give you a standing ovation.
Well done! Unbelievable that you found the exact sample, nothing like oak!
00:42 really good timing on that one
i just so much appreciate this video. im in such good mood now
This guy's good, I bet he'd get 100% for this song on Chair Hero
Watching him re-adjust the chair is the funniest thing ever
This made my day. Thank you. Great cover!

This is the best thing I have ever seen in my life. It it so accurate
this is so underrated
that's peak chair performance, look how he positioned himself into a stance before playing a note from the instrument
such talent, much performance, wow
It’s as if the UA-cam Algorithm began interpreting my innermost thoughts and displaying them via suggestions.
Indeed. That’s where it’s headed
Going straight to my Covers favourites, brilliant lol.
this brings me joy...thank you sir!
This is the best thing I have ever seen on the internet.
Foda, toca muito (comentando em português pq tenho altas suspeitas que tu seja brasileiro)
Casa mais brasileira impossível
Deve ser mesmo kkk
parece muitoo
Tropa do AFX
Are there really Brazilians named Patrick tho?
These days I've been feeling like shit, but your video made me laugh my ass off and forget it for a lil' bit. Thank you, sir.
This is gold, definitely!
Outstanding! I've been waiting for somebody with musical talent to do this for years. Perfect job well done
This is such a Masterpiece sir, thanks for making this possible, cheers!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
oh shit, finally... after too much years... Alberto Chairsalm
absolutely fantastic great work
I've been searching everywhere how to play this. Thank you so much

@@auspoke9477 o #bumpin
One of the best rendition of Aphex Twin songs.
A true masterpiece cover
Wow man great tone and dynamics
This is beautiful
Its just after 330am and im watching this. Should go to sleep. Can't stop watching.........
This is not the kind of content I was expecting and now I am so glad that I have discovered what I have discovered
Perfect execution! Bravo maestro!
Why is it so perfect
That's some good internet use. Bravo I say.
Best performance I’ve seen so far
Love this guy's Patience & Effort 😇👍
Yes, very accurate intonation and rhythm, flawless
