I have so much love for Beardyman. He blows my mind. Hes a pioneer and a total inspiration for pushing beyond the conventional boundaries of our physical capabilities. He's like a real life Jonathan Livingson Seagull!

"As you can probably imagine, I was a strange child..." and an even stranger adult! Ha ha! But seriously, this is pretty amazing.

Amazing!!!! Seriously one of the best TED talks i've ever watched, this guy is skilled!

Нравится что он ведёт себя Как-то непосредственно и этим завораживает. Играючи с любовью к музыке. Восхитительно, браво..

Cool,couldn't wait to watch this when I seen it in the recommended choice.I've seen a few videos of him already and he is excellent.I used to do similar things with my voice and sampler.

I think it's because it's a growing talent worldwide and loosely becoming somewhat of an art.With new sounds in pop culture & different influences in modern day it expands & progresses like anything. I'm a beatboxer myself & seeing different beatboxers do their acts, although ultimately it's the same thing it's completely different in it's own way. :)

That music he makes is beautiful. I could listen to him all day.

A DJ is a performer, and a performance is a series of acts done with both visuals and audio. The performer puts them all together into a show, he is part of the medium that brings it all together.

I think it actually is :) Given that it's a conference, not a concert hall and keeping in mind that he's not actually performing, but presenting. When you'll be able to see the difference, I'm pretty sure you will agree with what I'm saying here. Honestly dude, what place to present an idea or product is better than TEDTalks ? I mean, of course, maybe it doesn't have THAT many views here on youtube (all though I would say it kinda does, innit ?), it's more about the people attending those conferences and the AFTER the concerence word of mouth spreading into the real world. I think this is the optimal forum where this creative genius should present his idea, product and demonstrate how it works through a performance. Hey, only my opinion. Cheers!

I've come back to this video a number of times over a number of years, and I keep thinking every time: "Whoever decided to do 'psychedelic' video feed for people in the back should never work with video again."

Never thought I would see Beardyman doing a TED talk! Fucking hilarious! The man is a genius!

The slap bass is on point!

one of my favourite TED´s!

Makes complete sense that he references Pink Floyd

This is cool and all.....but if you remotely liked this, I implore you to look up his live set at the Reading Festival. It's here on KZread(what isn't?) and it's incredible. The crowd was WAY into it and Beardy was in prime form. Definitely the best live performance of his I've ever seen...and that's saying something. And the entire set is 100% made up on the spot. Incredible....

oh mate this is soooooo awesome i've been on that quest with synths alone for decades......... bless up

What this is is a system, not just a simple looping device, that gives Beardyman the flexibility to IMPROVISE with such complexity in his performances, which btw can last 30-mins to an hour long. Probably only a handful of people can do what he does.

BEST BEAT BOX EVER! I'D RATHER HAVE THAN HAVE PC SOUND EFFECTS

This is the best exhibition of the Beardytron's capabilities he has demonstrated yet!! Flippin incredible, Beardyman is a pioneer and I think will be looked back at as the mozart in his niche of live electronic music production.

they're both great, each has their own strengths

awesome. maybe whats not so clear is yes: voice can often be the best way to communicate musical ideas. im a musician & ive always sang/beatboxed to express ideas, say during writing. a machine like this breaks down limitations i find with traditional instruments; this could allow you to just "say" your ideas effortlessly with infinite musical possibilities.. on a larger note something like this allows us to express exactly what we are thinking, something i think art does in all aspects. cool.

HE'S THE F***ING MASTER OF SOUND! HE NEEDS A CAPE.

This guy is a major contribution and influence in music in general!

havent heard from this guy in ages what a legend.

When he sang like a monk, he produced 3 sounds, two were an octave apart in his voice box and the other in resonance. I can sing in monotone and put the tune into the pronounced vowels

you'd think so, but your voice actually contains a lot of harmonic information. there's hundreds of overtones and undertones that are harder to replicate in other noises. you CAN, but it's a lot more effort than just doing so with the human voice.
