Beardyman is great, always entertaining to watch him.

This video edit is crap though.

Thanks Synthhead, I appreciate that.

It came about by wanting to combine what we both do, in particular the live loop with a style I delevoped for this project : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn__pIssFGs

There’s a more basic, but similar illustrative edit with Beardyman here : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qidhwTUcCJ8 , and a different sort of edit here : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qg40SBmJcac.

The “Monkey Jazz” edit took a good few months so don’t expect anything new too quick, but still, watch this space . . .

I do not believe that anyone is in any danger of becoming ‘obsolete’ because of this character. LOL. I can personally commit more mayhem with just one Kaoss KP2 (and Beardo has two KP3’s). If you want to hear
a solo artist whose ‘lo-fi’ music is actually worth listening to, I would
encourage you to check out AYMERIC HAINAUX. What he does live with
nothing but a mic is amazing (and much more artistically advanced).
If you want to see the absolute extreme in solo lo-fi projects, do a search for MERZBOW (Not for the faint of heart, I have warned you).
At least Beardo has a hobby that keeps him off the streets.

@Dead Panda: “AYMERIC HAINAUX”? you mean the guy who puts a mic in his undies and gyrates? lol. I don’t think Beardyman has anything to be worried about from that guy!

Uhhhhh, No. I’ve seen an Aymeric concert, no undies involved.
Perhaps you got a hold of an old G.G. Allin vid, not recommended.
btw- does anyone here ever listen to MUSLIMGUAZE? Yummy.
