It takes critical mass to get a crowd on their feet, and this wasn't that crowd, not to say that in a different setting they wouldn't be dancing in the aisles, but it was a talk. the applause at the end shows all the energy and fascination they were holding in the whole time.

A DJ is a performer, and a performance is a series of acts done with both visuals and audio. The performer puts them all together into a show, he is part of the medium that brings it all together.
Beardyman once MC'd over one of my drum and bass dj sets in Brighton,UK in a tiny club called the Volks, to about 90 people and now he's on Ted. At least those 90 people loved every second.
@@garethmitchell7723 yeah I know Battle Jam, went to a few. We gave JFB one of his first gigs in Brighton at a little night we ran at The Pav Tav called Casual when Goggles finished. Surprised I still remember it all after so many nights at The Volks. Haha
@Alex Cannon "British accent" functions as an umbrella term in this context. A British accent, as in an accent that is British. To better illustrate how wrong your little correction is: "There's no even number. There's number 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and so on. There is no single number."
I think it's because it's a growing talent worldwide and loosely becoming somewhat of an art.With new sounds in pop culture & different influences in modern day it expands & progresses like anything. I'm a beatboxer myself & seeing different beatboxers do their acts, although ultimately it's the same thing it's completely different in it's own way. :)
This is cool and all.....but if you remotely liked this, I implore you to look up his live set at the Reading Festival. It's here on UA-cam(what isn't?) and it's incredible. The crowd was WAY into it and Beardy was in prime form. Definitely the best live performance of his I've ever seen...and that's saying something. And the entire set is 100% made up on the spot. Incredible....
Beardyman is more than a beatboxer, he's a pioneer. He's the holy trinity of what TED stands for Technology, Education, and Design. Like a Jesus-Davy Crockett mashup.
Guys, the real audience of TED talks isn't the live audience, their reaction is irrelevant. its us watching from around the world. the live audience is at best a few hundred. Here online, it is limited only by our access to it, and already numbers in the millions.
Cool,couldn't wait to watch this when I seen it in the recommended choice.I've seen a few videos of him already and he is excellent.I used to do similar things with my voice and sampler.
This is the best exhibition of the Beardytron's capabilities he has demonstrated yet!! Flippin incredible, Beardyman is a pioneer and I think will be looked back at as the mozart in his niche of live electronic music production.
awesome. maybe whats not so clear is yes: voice can often be the best way to communicate musical ideas. im a musician & ive always sang/beatboxed to express ideas, say during writing. a machine like this breaks down limitations i find with traditional instruments; this could allow you to just "say" your ideas effortlessly with infinite musical possibilities.. on a larger note something like this allows us to express exactly what we are thinking, something i think art does in all aspects. cool.
I've come back to this video a number of times over a number of years, and I keep thinking every time: "Whoever decided to do 'psychedelic' video feed for people in the back should never work with video again."
What this is is a system, not just a simple looping device, that gives Beardyman the flexibility to IMPROVISE with such complexity in his performances, which btw can last 30-mins to an hour long. Probably only a handful of people can do what he does.
!..This guy has a raw talent and if he has found something that enhances his abilities to enable him to reach another level of this ability then my hat off to you Beardyman!!!....Keep on keeping on!!! x Carey x :)
I'm from his local area and have done shows with him as a dancer so have spent time with him on a personal level. He is a completely normal, down to earth guy who has a lot of friends because of his genuine personality. He is also insanely famous, so what are you talking about? Your interpretation of people is clearly suppressed because that opinion is ridiculous. Jealousy is a horrible thing. You're right, you have nothing better to do, and that mindset is what will prevent you from success :)
I think it actually is :) Given that it's a conference, not a concert hall and keeping in mind that he's not actually performing, but presenting. When you'll be able to see the difference, I'm pretty sure you will agree with what I'm saying here. Honestly dude, what place to present an idea or product is better than TEDTalks ? I mean, of course, maybe it doesn't have THAT many views here on youtube (all though I would say it kinda does, innit ?), it's more about the people attending those conferences and the AFTER the concerence word of mouth spreading into the real world. I think this is the optimal forum where this creative genius should present his idea, product and demonstrate how it works through a performance. Hey, only my opinion. Cheers!
He didn't name it. They did. And his input was essential, in that they wouldn't have made it if he hadn't pulled them together and presented his ideas. He doesn't claim to have built it, but it's a fact that it wouldn't exist without him being involved. He's the idea person. Without an idea, you don't have a project, and a group of programmers who aren't live performers couldn't have come up with this idea alone. It's a collaboration, and Beardyman hasn't at any point tried to hide that fact.
But with that many effects and that immense skill in handling them couldnt he just make anything sound like anything else? He doesnt even need his voice anymore 😂
you'd think so, but your voice actually contains a lot of harmonic information. there's hundreds of overtones and undertones that are harder to replicate in other noises. you CAN, but it's a lot more effort than just doing so with the human voice.
To all the haters, you should really go and see beardyman's live performances to understand what the point of this machine is. He is an entertainer (not musician only) and this machine gives him the ultimate versatility and improvisation possibility. Peace out bitches.
There's actually a singer called Lalah Hathaway who can sing two notes at once. It's not her normal basic singing voice of course, but she's able to harmonise with herself. I won't link here for obvious reasons but Lalah Hathaway and Snarky Puppy, track called "Something". :)
+ToddAndChips Look up polyphonic overtone singing and throat singing. There are multiple ways to sing chords but i'm not sure how Lalah does it, one of the most incredible live musical moments!
When he sang like a monk, he produced 3 sounds, two were an octave apart in his voice box and the other in resonance. I can sing in monotone and put the tune into the pronounced vowels
As a fan of experimental music, I love the production and shows he puts on, but the message of the voice's possibilities is a bit lost after he straps on half a ton of electronics and cycles the signal through looping machines.
ok, 5 years without reply so I apologise for the notification. The main difference here is that he can create all these soundscapes spontaneously. It's not the creation of 3 months of production in a studio. Beardyman can put out in a random UA-cam jam session what some artists struggle for months with in composition and production.
@@raerth yes, he can do it quickly. But to claim it is nothing but voice is a fallacy. The electronic manipulation involved makes it so this isn't voice at all. Yes, the original tone is created with voice, but then it is twisted, wadded, and crumpled to make it what it is...meaning it is nothing more than computer generated sounds.
@@cleatussfmo7437 He doesn't claim it is nothing but his voice. He claims that he uses no samples other than what he inputs using his voice. There is a distinction there. If you want to see Beardyman using only his voice, here's a good example: ua-cam.com/video/S7GGkKpBR-g/v-deo.html
It's not just some sampling rig. It's the Beardytron 5000, basically an advanced live looping DAW developed by Beardyman and a bunch of people he brought together to put it together. It's a real thing, and he's essentially beta-testing it on his "one album per hour" tour. Look it up. He's not using a bunch of samplers. All those devices on the rig are just controllers for one computer, and he lead the project to develop the software.
I mean, when you break a sample (a recording) of anything down, such as the human voice, you just have a basic waveform. So essentially yeah, your playing a synth with your voice.
Looper, layers, sampler, equalizer, 15 instances of a multi-effect real time audio manipulation tool, and software to make all of this work together in a realiable and efficient way and provide full overview and control of everything going on, complete with a touch screen interface tailored for the purpose, even with unique gestures for swift control.
This was such a good performance for beardy man - truly amazing. He a was a so composed talking to the crowd too. I love listening to you man - you are ace!
I don't understand the complaints about the crowd. I would have been considerably peeved if a noisy crowd interfered with his impressive sounds. Bloody brilliant !!!
What he says is kinda bullshit in a way, fair enough they're no samples already programmed but hes sampling himself on the fly, like he has for years with chaos pads. All that is is post processing, be it quite quick, but I find the less technical tricks Beardyman uses the more his unreal talent shines through. If you want to see how class he is youtube "beardyman aphex twin"
+cmomofilm I think the point of this Talk was less about him and more about showing off the machine, and it can turn a human voice into produced sounds almost instantly.
cmomofilm But he doesn't do exactly that. Like he said, you can only do so much with loopers and Kaos pads. They don't automatically equalize and modulate everything for you, but this machine can. He can't mimic reverb, delay, pitch shifting like he said. His voice can only go so high or low, and the pitch-shifter allows him to go high or lower than his vocal range. Like he said, the purpose of this machine is to allow him to make ANY sound he can imagine, not just the many that he is already capable off.
I also thought, wow what a quiet crowd. Then realized that yes the audiance mics are muted. Keep an ear/eye out around 6:55. You can hear the ducking of the mic when he speaks.
thats just sidechain compression, so beardyman doesn't get drowned out by the crowd noise in post

"Well that escalated quickly."
Especially when he turned himself saying “it can be hard to believe” into a fucking aphex twin song
"As you can probably imagine, I was a strange child..." and an even stranger adult! Ha ha! But seriously, this is pretty amazing.
What I learned: The inside of Beardyman's mind is a terrifying place.
Everyone! They mute the crowd mics almost 100% of the time when the speaker is speaking
Is this really true
Yeah, all the time

That dubstep was beautiful
Very interesting, did he make it available for others to use or and in-depth breakdown?
This was such a good performance for beardy man - truly amazing. He a was a so composed talking to the crowd too. I love listening to you man - you are ace!
My cat literally couldn't believe what she was hearing and had a strange experience 😂
I don't understand the complaints about the crowd. I would have been considerably peeved if a noisy crowd interfered with his impressive sounds. Bloody brilliant !!!
Its a shame he ended up with the worlds most unresponsive audience
"that one gbb judge from 2019" but it's marvel's "what if..."
What he says is kinda bullshit in a way, fair enough they're no samples already programmed but hes sampling himself on the fly, like he has for years with chaos pads. All that is is post processing, be it quite quick, but I find the less technical tricks Beardyman uses the more his unreal talent shines through. If you want to see how class he is youtube "beardyman aphex twin"
+cmomofilm I think the point of this Talk was less about him and more about showing off the machine, and it can turn a human voice into produced sounds almost instantly.
Lejundairy Why use a guy who does exactly that for a living, using only his own voice then? Hardly shows off the soft/hardware.
cmomofilm But he doesn't do exactly that. Like he said, you can only do so much with loopers and Kaos pads. They don't automatically equalize and modulate everything for you, but this machine can. He can't mimic reverb, delay, pitch shifting like he said. His voice can only go so high or low, and the pitch-shifter allows him to go high or lower than his vocal range. Like he said, the purpose of this machine is to allow him to make ANY sound he can imagine, not just the many that he is already capable off.
I can't believe this guy is voicing Billy Joe Cobra from Dude, That's My Ghost. He's the legend and that is why Spencer called him as a sound effects.
