Agreed; the theremin was great, though.

Maybe would have been more believable if it showed him with a tube coming out of the mask (and he kept playing the keys while tube-voicing), and stomping on a boomerang-box to set up and cue the loops on and off.

This looks fake. How are the tracks looping? At 2:35 you hear the same sound the DS makes in the beginning, yet he isn't playing the DS and the DS screen isn't doing anything.


Live electronic music is performed by playing an initial track, then placing it on loop.

Of course, this doesn't only apply to electronic music. I used to go to a club in West Hollywood called the Largo where a composer by the name of Jon Brion played drums, bass, piano and guitar, placed them on loops and hopped between guitar and piano to do improv. Didn't need anyone but himself to play an entire set.

LEDs on his helmet are definitely faked. you can see letter don't move exactly with his head/camera movements.


I don't believe they're fake. The minor movement you see in the text can originate from the difference in refreshrate between the camera and the leds. It's the same effect you get when you film older CRT-computer monitors with a video camera.

I use Ableton Live for live looping, it rocks you can preset how many measures to loop and use any foot pedal to start/stop/overdub i have a simple usb foot pedal set to the ableton macro

and i can use guitar, keyboard, vocals, shakers, etc in a constantly overlaying loop

similar to this, this is good though
