[chainsaw195]

i masturbate to this song...what? too wierd?

[wicky42]

Sweet, I love some of the beats in there, and some of those camera angles are ace ^_^ A couple of bits of the video don't seem to be quite synched, but I guess that's cos of the crunch. Good job - I wish I was half as musical!

[orangefishcity]

Wow this is amazing im not sure what i like more the music video camera angles or the music itself you should definatley make more videos and songs

[edytajagus]

[cosmoman360]

That was amazing! And made teh right choice to buy that camera cause it looks great.

[koolperson55]

did you need permission from the school to do this

[Sk8erLyz]

This is so amazing. I could listen to it over and over again. I love the break down at 1:24 :) Wonderful.

[ImitationBlueberry]

Well done. I'm goin to that school next year!!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite musicians of ALL TIME

[JotheInvader]

You are awesome! You do great art!

[xochrisox]

Awesome video. Extra Baller。２４　People weren't looking carefully and missed the like button.

[GreenDayGrl2010]

This is one of those times I wish Youtube had a repeat button. I could listen to this over and over again! You've got a widespread of talent in you. I wish I could download this onto my iPod and show my friends. Or even just the audio. Kudo's! =J

[SgtGecko]

Keep with your music Ben, you are truly talented.

[Vavfaf]

awesome!

[Vulpixy111]

i found this through stumble upon and liked it so much i had to come on youtube to throw a "like" on here. I love finding great songs like this that are made with unusual objects. BTW what school is this?

[tinnytintinman]

@Vulpixy111 Governor Thomas Johnson High School!

[angbabe089]

this is awesome! great piece, its phenomenal. and i went to tj (c/o 2007)...once i saw the familiar lockers i got REALLY excited i came across this haha! keep up the wonderful compositions :)

[freshvisionmedia]

Love what you have done... Very kwel (Canon 7D is a great camera too) ... :)

[JusticeMan1776]

Brilliant in all aspects... :)

[Bythesw23]

The funny thing is. Some people get annoyed when someone's idea is more inventive than they ever could imagine. So when they see quality stuff they could never have dreamed of making, they go like, well it's not that hard. Only to make it less hard for themselves. Cause they obviously can not.

[whitewillow27]

fantastic! i see a little imogen heap in this :)

there's no doubt that you will go far.

[IRonanN1I]

Ben 10!! :) - good work

[ElisaN92]

[mavixya]

Wow! This is so cool. I wish I could do that>

[leea1776]

Looping is really cool and i like it but the complexity of it is really overrated.

[94XJ]

Amazing blend! Everything just sounded so right...I've watched over and over and can't get enough.

[ewokbreeder]

I'm jealous dude....you're very inventive...and I respect you for doing something like this...because it's different and unlike anything I've ever seen!!! :)

[isajokas]

do you wanna know how i found you? i saw you on spanish television dude!

you're phenomenal!

[njdesai1992]

@isajokas LMAO

[ruthmagdalen]

Hi Ben Myers your hauntingly mesmeric 'Empty School' composition could well be an anthem for current dialogues around school reform, unlearning, the learning revolution, the transformation of education and systemic institutional collapse.

[hugio55]

@ruthmagdalen Very well said, mate! Thank you! The public school system definitely needs change, but the task seems impossible at times,

[chsbassdrummer]

@ruthmagdalen haha i like how much you broke that down, but it really is well stated.

[123tanklin]

the ending is awesome. great sound. keep up the good work man.

[Komandero56787]

Good Luck from POLAND men :D That's AWSOME!!!!!!! I HOPE THAT'S IS ONLY BEGIN !!!

[diverseintelligence]

The quality of this video is sick. (<--that's a good thing).

[SpandauJerry]

[ellimac3]

Keep making good stuff! You are the cream of the crop man.

[JohnLRice]

cool milk

[Fleurrriej]

simply said; AWESOME !!

[erinheartstrivan]

magic!

[mudpuddlemermaid]

ummm

how come the mics aren't plugged into an xlr cable, OR any other power source?

Condensers require phantom power and there is no visble interface either.

I have no doubt that the sounds are from those instruments but I have a feeling that you did the video after the audio... no?

[drummer4life53]

@mudpuddlemermaid because using a M-Audio MicroTrack 2 which supplies phantom power through battery power.

[Chaaarlie96]

he had a good idea bout makin some tunes in empty school

[doska13nh]

it's amazing ! : )

[lamaz90]

[cat1012000]

Very good... This Multi-media shows you have a Multi-talented ability..... Keep loving what your doing & enjoy the ride... it should be a good one!

[Skipster61]

I've done similar, sampling various "tactile" sounds and editing them together on a keyboard with SoundFonts, etc. But I never thought of putting them together on Video. Awesome job! I've favorited this one!

[VdaiTroy]

this has a nice beat (;

[junehouse]

Good job, pal!!!

[skateboard772355]

Dude...your awesome!!!

[beebeesee1]

Feel like dancing and weeping at the same time. Very cool stuff! Never stop listening to your talent man...

[GJungst]

great idea en very well done!!

Very curious about the big project (to come)....

you'll get there!

[kuusteist]

I'd say it's a bit one dimensional for a sound composition

[duckwithnukes]

TO ALL

If you think racism is wrong, go to jamaicanlager's channel and take a few seconds to read his profile details... then leave a comment on his channel showing your appreciation.

[joelygoe]

Well done buddy. You'll make a good Art Director. Nice camera work. Top tune too.

[HoneeeyxD]
