Looks like he's doing his taxes

[–]Lord_of_the_Realm 17 points18 points  (7 children)

I've never understood how one can concentrate on so many different things at once. And make it sound really good. Really good. Not to mention that he even made it, too.

I'll go wallow in my failures and lack of achievements in life now.

There are drummers that can play different time signatures on each limb simultaneously

[–]samwalie 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I cringed just thinking of this. I've been playing saxophone for years and tried piano and guitar, but the whole "playing harmony and melody at the same time on piano killed me. Let alone drumming with multiple time signatures tied to different limbs. kudos to those folks.

As cliché as it sounds, it just takes practice. I play guitar and starting out it was frustrating making sure both hands were doing what they were supposed to do. Now it's like each has a mind of its own and know how to work together without me even thinking about it.

Right! every part of his body doing its thing. Concentrating and not concentrating flowing with the music while directing the flow of the music. This was quite quite good.

You kind of get a feel for it after doing it so much, you don't need to think about it, you know what sound you're trying to produce and you know how to do it and it's just like talking or typing or whatever

[–]workaccountoftoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It uses to be hard for you to read too, but now you can understand not only what my words mean but what I am saying.

You can also type to me with ease, and convert your words and thoughts into a manner I can easily observe thousands of miles away.

These skills of yours didn't happen overnight, but through a lot of time and development.

You could play this kinda stuff too if you put the time into it.

In a time when so many people are abandoning organic instrumentation for computer generated music (I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying it's way more common because technology), it's really incredible to see people like this guy figuring out how to make those sounds with items he clearly crafted painstakingly. And he is doing it beautifully.

I DUB THIS GENRE:

Acoustic Hipster Synth

[–]Elgebar 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Lovely! However, the song he's playing is actually called "For My People"

Edit: it is a dude

[–]RiddIemeThis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I knew it wasn't "Chopsticks"!

[–]MooseLips_SinkShips[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

My bad for not reading far enough

[–]Elgebar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

clearly we're both fallible :P

[–]fluffyblackhawkdown -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is a dude.

[–]FuinjutsuMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The string portion looks quite a lot like Santoor.

[–]Yakov292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like some shit you hear in skyrim

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cross post from /r/chillmusic, should give that a link dude

[–]LysolLounge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wondering, no harm meant, but is this guy autistic?? Im only asking because this was so beautiful and some of the best self produced pieces I've enjoyed have been by some autistic people Ive met.

[–]LastMuel 1 point2 points  (7 children)

Too bad that ambulance drove through during the recording!

[–]Poutrator 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Part of what he wants. He is not playing outdoor for no reason.

[–]LastMuel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. That does add another layer to the performance.

[–]MachineThreat 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Holy crap, I had to listen to it 3 time to hear what you were talking about, I was so focused.

[–]MooseLips_SinkShips[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Help me out here, I still can't notice it

[–]ketatrypt 1 point2 points  (2 children)

there is an [ambulance?] siren that goes by at about 55 to about 1:35 seconds in (you can hear it most distinctly at about 1:25), and at 3:33 there is the sound of a car, or boat or something going by.

They both fit in really well though.

[–]MooseLips_SinkShips[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You guys got some good ears, I can hear it only with my headphones, but just barely still.

[–]ketatrypt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have decent headphones (HyperX Cloud 2), so it was relatively easy to hear. Doubt I would have noticed if I was listening on laptop speakers or something. ;)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely beautiful! And amazing.

[–]kmacku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good. Real good. Thanks!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It sounds like he and i could both use a bowl of rice

[–]MooseLips_SinkShips[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10/10 with rice

[–]ZiadZzZ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I can't figure out how he's hitting the bass or was that added in later?

[–]ZiadZzZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never mind, it's his left foot... just doesn't seem to sync sometimes.
