This one-take performance by Beardyman demonstrates how he uses live looping technology to make synthesizers, drum machines and other musicians obsolete.
Track visually explained and augmented by mr_hopkinson’s animation.
Conceived and Produced by mr_hopkinson & Beardyman.
better than kid beyond…
Simply brilliant…
Concieved and produced by mr_hopkinson & beardyman if you don’t mind !
Though it does appears I can’t spell “conceived”.
He is soooo great !!!
mrh – thanks for the feedback – I updated the post!
Got anything else in the works that you can share?
Beardyman is great, always entertaining to watch him.
This video edit is crap though.
Enjoyed the music, but the video made me wanna punch kittens.
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 . . .
Dude has mad talent.
please for teh luv of gawd do not make any more vidz it took you months to manke that horrible video? give it up man you fail
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.
Please stop this terrible travesty.
