not my typ of music but blody fantastic non the least i would love to see more stuff like this on the sift.

Wow!

Have him pick up a guitar or a saxophone or some other instrument and have him create music from scratch...then I'll be impressed. But honestly, a computer can do this by itself....not impressed.

That's patently moronic. A computer could reproduce pretty much any piano concerto with MIDI, too, does that mean it isn't impressive when someone sits down and bangs out a complex piece of Rachmaninoff? The whole point is that while that could have been sequenced, it wasn't - every individual sound you heard was triggered by a button being pressed at a precise moment. He played the drums, bass and guitar all separately. It was an insanely complex and demanding feat of musical prowess. Bow down.

And nobody says this looks fake, amazing.

im not actually sure its *that* hard to do, but he could have saved alot of bother by just recording the drums into a set of loops.

anyhow, still a great performance, and impressivly done. upvote !

Anyone who thinks it looks fake can catch him at a live show, where he does the exact same thing. There's no point in faking it - it only tends to impress people who have a rudimentary grasp on sampler technology anyway, which is not like... you know, girls or anything.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

cool stuff

Love the ending there. Very classy.
Impressive nonetheless.

Heh, I think that's more of a "F yeah!" than a "F you!"

I'm torn. One side of me respects him as a "composer" of sorts, in the same way I respect anyone who arranges music. On the live performance side of things, I kind of see it like someone who's really good at Guitar Hero-- talented, but in a different sort of way.

Well the difference there of course is that guitar hero has a prescribed pattern - there's a logic to his composition here, but it's also very free in that the percussion is all micro-edited - I'd be surprised if the fills and pattern variations weren't spontaneous inventions.

I think percussion is the most apt analogy in comparing this to other music - regular players on the drum kit aren't just glorified dance-dance revolutionaries, are they?

---And nobody says this looks fake, amazing.

Oh fine then: this is definitely fake. That device he's got is just a telephone for people with fat fingers.

actually, i have a similar device to this. Its definatly not crazy hard, still pretty impressive for a nice long take. All a matter of finding some good samples to trigger.

....still got to get it to trigger like his though (play entire sample unless re-hit). bah !

Cool... much better than the crappy hip-hop beats you hear what some call radio.

lgtoast-- good point. Definitely has talent, at least as far as rhythm goes.
