Who on the Escapist has heard of this guy?

To be short and frank, this guy is a god of ad-libbing entire sets of music, using naught but a mic and some audio looping/modding equipment.

This is him without his extra equipment.

And him with his equipment.

Im personally pretty particular to his 'with-equipment' stuff, cause it allows him to do alot more with his music.

Thoughts, Escapist?

Pretty but not amazing. Link worthy but not overly praise worthy. Talented but not the pinnacle of human enterprise in the musical realm.

 

[MakerOfRoads]

I dunno, the fact that none of his shows are pre-recorded in the slightest, that everything is made up on the spot, thats pretty amazing imho.

 

[Jackhorse]

Its fairly impressive. Doesn't he ever get repetetive by that route though?

 

[MakerOfRoads]

He would, but from what i've seen there are enough genres of music that he injects into his sets to make it interesting without being repetitive. That and humor as well split the parts that could have dragged on. I dunno, im biased.

I was expecting a much grander beard, this man has almost nothing.

Yeah, Beardyman's pretty cool. I love the bits where he gets audience members to shout out genres or ideas and he creates them:

The entire show was pretty badass.
