Beardyman: The polyphonic me
11:10 minutes · Filmed Feb 2013 · Posted Aug 2013 · TED2013
Frustrated by not being able to sing two notes at the same time, musical inventor Beardyman built a machine to allow him to create loops and layers from just the sounds he makes with his voice. Given that he can effortlessly conjure the sound of everything from crying babies to buzzing flies, not to mention mimic pretty much any musical instrument imaginable, that's a lot of different sounds. Sit back and let the wall of sound of this dazzling performance wash over you.
Beardyman, a "ruler of beats and destroyer of dance floors," has developed a real-time music-production system that places live looping at the center of a new musical paradigm.
