This is pretty off-topic, but you have to love French techno Jew’s harp beatboxing.

Unless you hate mouth-noises.

This is a video look into Beardyman’s Headspace, from a promo for a new online show with Channel 4 and Idea.

Beardyman specializes in live looper-based beatboxing.

Beardyman comforts us all with glad tidings and christmas spirit at this, the season of love, expenditure, enforced merriment and drunk driving.

 OT – because he’s not doing his usual electronic looping – but still fun.

A while back, we featured a video of Beardyman doing Monkey Jazz, noting that “he uses live looping technology to make synthesizers, drum machines and other musicians obsolete.”

This is a chance to see all the camera angles, unedited, from the original Monkey Jazz video sessions.

Monkey Jazz combines the talents of 2 times UK Beatbox Champion Beardyman [ http://www.beardyman.co.uk ]and master of the edit mr_hopkinson [ http://davidhopkinson.org ],

This is a one take performance by Beardyman using live looping technology, visually explained and augmented by mr_hopkinson’s edit and animation.

This is a little off-topic, but still entertaining. Beardyman – the UK beatbox champ – promos his appearance on the upcoming YouTube Live event, to be held on November 22nd. 

Beardyman does beatboxing in combination with a looper to created fully arranged musical tracks live. Check out this previous post on Beardyman for an example.

Anatomy offers over eight-hundred instruments that “twist and transform the human body into one expansive collection of physiological melody and rhythm. Anatomy sonically explores the human condition in ways never dared attempted previously, delivering you a deep, diverse & rich new palette of sonic colors and textures.”

While the marketing copy for this may be a little over the top, the library looks like it’s actually pretty cool.

All instruments included in Anatomy are separated into the following two categories.

• Man: Raw and organic samples straight from the source.
• Machine: Effected and manipulated interpretations.

Both categories feature the following instrument sub-categories:

• Beat Box Kits: Over 50 unique kits with a massive tool box of additional kicks and snares for even more flexibility. Boston beat box guru Steve Foxx stepped up to the mic and laid down an array of sound that the SONiVOX design team edited and programmed into patches.
• Vocal Pads and Leads: Over 100 Vocal pads and leads, from the ethereal tones of Tibetan tuvan throat singing to humming and whistling.
• Body Percussion: Snaps, claps, foot stomps, and heartbeats.
• Vocal FX: Blips, burps, gurgles, growls, groans, and nostril snorts. Laughing, moaning, and simulated emotional breakdowns.
• Choirs: A complement of male and female choirs and choral groups with a variety of articulations and programming variations. Ethereal voices and intimate utterings.

Anatomy is available now for $219 USD.

Beatboxing on my New Korg R3 Vocoder/Synth

via BLaznBeBoPkiD:

I just improvised a simple chord progression, then beatboxed over it.

I am so excited, just got it back to my dormroom and now its time to jam!

WORDS TO SONG:

“Everybody, I’m so sorry but I have no words. (x3)”

In this video, sponsored by Ableton, he talks about how he creates his tracks and demonstrates using a pedalboard and live to create complex, multi-layered grooves.
