Kid Beyond in San Francisco

[DavidTheBawss]

@ petitchat

i think thats just his performance style, and the echo probably comes from the acoustics.

ionno thats just wut i think.

[GettoBux]

so sick^^

[xoxopetitchatxoxo]

doesn't he have some kind of bracelet that changes his voice, and makes that echo-y sound? on the left wrist. which is why he is always moving his hand?

[LoganAMusic]

no lol

[xoxopetitchatxoxo]

shit, ok. i've been lied to. thanks, haha

[ahffk]

ya...lol

hes simply moving his hand just like every other beatboxer to keep the beat and make the sounds seem more realistic

[CovenantFan]

I beatbox, and the hand is for 2 reasons (at least for me) 1. it shows what sound you're making, and 2. it helps you keep the beat... but everything you hear is his mouth, he just has a looping machine, and an echo effect...

cool beans. :P

[humdeabril]

no, he controls the voice sampling/looping with his feet.

(the hand movement is just for vibe purposes :)

[CovenantFan]

The echo is automatic, and controlled by a slider directly on his mic.

Being a beatboxer, I can vouch for him that the hand motions are for a mix of showing what sound you're making and to help show what instrument it's supposed to be, also partly for keeping beat, and lastly... how interesting would it be if he just stood there not moving and did it? it adds colour and emotion to the music, and gives you something to actually watch.

-don't worry, alot of people ask about the hand motions. :P

[spiralsayswhat]

Sort of. He uses a Hot Hand MIDI-EXP controller.

[seaweedcn]

[garymgarino]

Kid Beyond is one of the most phenomenal live performers today! To see him perform this song in person is unreal.

[ayeyen]

Kid Beyond and Portishead! That's like... two really good worlds colliding! :)

[jackvaxx2100]

rofl kid beyon makes weird hand gestures xD anywayz hes an awesome looper

[ihitterdal]

It's the Source Audio Hot Hand. It's used by him as a MIDI controller.

[timwstout]

I saw him at CES. No hand controller, same sound, same weird hand gestures.

[ihitterdal]

Wait, never mind. I forgot that he doesn't use it... YET. However, he really is looking into it.

[ninecrisnails]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nine inch nails...si

[m3kkR]

He's not a very good singer. And this isn't a very good cover.

[Proneural]

So beautiful. I'm moving to SF soon, I hope to see him live.

I agree this guy is meant to be seen live. Anyone see him at Burning Man last year?

[Blahsmack]

[SelflessAct]

I saw him live last night - IT WAS NUTS....this video doesn't do him justice, but it's good for getting a feel for how fcuking awesome he is. He was meant to be experienced live, though!!! Check him out if you get the chance!!!

[Llethander]

Wow, he's good. And damn, his chin reminds me of Sin City's "Merv". xD

[Llethander]

Oops, I meant "Marv".
