Sergio Altamura - Flipper Special Part I and II

[teunv111]

guess he is the multitask-KING...

[linkan43]

This guy is the king of Multitasking =)

[opusdei1545]

im starting to think sergio wrote the soundtrack to the movie 300 

[r1chie311music]

how did he do this? Did he loop the stuff he did at the beginning?

[todesfaelle070]

@r1chie311music - the percussive taps? Nope. That's pure skill.

[r1chie311music]

@todesfaelle070 well yeah, hes doing it in the video lol

[smileypie22000]

@r1chie311music - He uses loops in a few videos so I'd assume the same things is going on here. LOL at the other response.

[r1chie311music]

@smileypie22000 pretty elite regardless

[Ev1on]

chills starts from 1:38 . . . and last for the whole day

[SkateForJesus95]

That was insanity haha

[1Lunatic1]

I love it... Where can I find Almatura's MP3?

[merrycenci]

@1Lunatic1 search on candyrat.com

[nonaksanamon]

i would love this to be remixed in trance/techno music...he's awesome!!!

[thoriswar]

@nonaksanamon why remix this when its not needed people that want to turn original bits of music into techno dont respect real music in my opinion because techno suck balls!!

[nonaksanamon]

@thoriswar different people listens to different kinds of music style..if we all listen to one kind of music it wouldnt be interesting.I am curious to what it would sound like in a different form just as this artist put together different kinds of music into one: and thats why it turned out beautifully.Personally i listen to all kinds of music on certain levels .I agree that not all techno music is good music,some are just annoying. All im saying is different music appeals to certain listeners

[ZaggiusZiggius]

@chaotixmachine

Thats exactly what I thought of, like a buddist prayer .. this is amazing..

[bathory1234567890]

What a genius unknown guy.

[EternalRecovery]

RPG music anyone? I love all artists on this label. Everyone of them has someone unique to bring out into the world of music.

[vonCarstine]

reminds me alot of "the Books" lemon of pink album check if anyone like experimental or like mushrooms hahahaha

[ChaotixMachine]

Reminds me of a secluded buddhist temple on a cliff overlooking a vast, expansive mountain range. Beautiful visuals, and great music. Sergio Altamura, ladies and gentlemen.

[Colbs777]

14 seconds in and my mind was blown.

[killtheego79]

this guy is a beast!!!!

[Ev1on]

this man is insane . . . I rly like this guy . . . he makes such a stoned music xD

[Minimenus]

greats from poland!! love

[StariyEgorka]

GREAT

[Joashgamit]

The most creative and unique guitarist in th world!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He know's how to fuck music.

[Dirtbagging]

I didn't like this very much.

[sphinxart]

Fuck me sideways with a dead porcupine.

[AlleyFunk]

I'd have to say Sergio is one of my favorite candyrat musicians, he's an incredible artists with a style and sound that I can tip my hat to.

[muzikman1793]

Good music is good music, Everything else can go to hell. I have to say this is good music.

[sl4yar]

Boring

[PhanTomKing8888]

this video deserves a few billion views. yet some untalented singers get a million views over a night.

[pinoixboi]

insane right hand technique =D

[GarretsShadow]

I don't know why but this song makes me laugh

[sachary]

the technique (minus the delay effect) reminds me of Erik Mongrain.. who really fuses the percussion and melody together in a way that sets him apart from most solo acoustic guitarrists. I recommend checking him out as well.

[Barbramajk]

Nice sound, but redundant music.

[luapnea]

caro Sergio

chi suona l'acustica ha per gran parte, la mente sodomizzata dai vari trik trak bluesrag e viscerobasso alternato...

che c'è voi fà

devi avere comunque un bravo tecnico del suono!

bella anche questa flipper ;-)

[SerBrian88]

sergio te voglio bene!!!!!! mentre facevo "zapping" su you tube ti ho trovato per caso...non posso fare più a meno della tua musica....sei un geniaccio!!!!!!!

[MrMinhtien]

i like it!good song!

[scaryvisionary1]

im really diggin sergio's art.

his approach to sound is unique.

and it sounds great.

[schecterGman]

1. i love this to death.

2. altamura is insane and a genius.

3. the last 3 letters of the URL of this vid is hilarious.

[holyswordsmanoffaith]

LOLOL I JUST SAW THAT! AHAHA win

[schecterGman]

haha...

was pure accident...

i was copy pasting this on facebook chat, to a frnd of mine, when i noticed....

[GarretsShadow]

@schecterGman HAHAHA no. 3

[AllThingsGuitar]

@schecterGman LMFAO! And to top it off your name has the best guitar brand ever in it ;)

[roehee1234]

@schecterGman fuckin ehh haha too good

[RiouxItsMe]

this music reminds me of the music writer of silent hill , Akira Yamaoka, weird with emotion.

[booon15]

i dont think the "why would he be signed" arguement really works. Candyrat i think is all about innovation and since he is really one of the only people to do this, candyrat gobbled him up cause he does weird stuff really.

[Raitaro85]

Hey, I have a question. Whats the orange joystick thing he was fiddling with inthe beginning?

[K1LL14N]

it looks like an ashtray.. and it probably is because I recognise the mechanism.

he was probably just having a cigarette before he recorded xD

[Raitaro85]

lolz.

[beef410dc]

he is really fun to watch, but get's boring

[FoOoRg10]

for those who say " he is not talented , this is stupid , misusing his guitar"

first off .. it's his fuckin guitar , its not like he is using your stuff .. second go grab a guitar and start making songs then come and say " i'm better" so we can judge , third IF HE IS NOT GOOD AND REALLY TALENTED THEN WHY THE FUCK WOULD CANDYRAT SIGN HIM ?!!!

[sixstringhero20]

the skill is him even comming up witht the IDEA for this song

[urudufusmisrael]

i see some people criticizing Sergio for using guitar effects

just want to point something out:

guitar effects are NOTHING without TALENT

Sergio has a very creative out of the box art , mind & style = its a fact .

[Guyomproject]

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!

[olishant]

Waiting for something interesting to happen...

.............

Maybe I missed it. :[

[jdalt252]

August rush a little.

[MartaineJr]

lol.

he's not skilled?

do you have the slightest idea how hard it is to tap with the left hand and produce percussion with the right while keeping the tempo and not getting confused?

[Lucifall]

You forgot making echo effects with his voice.

[olishant]

Not so hard with a little practice.

[shinshikamaru]

Does it have to be hard for it to be music to listen to and enjoy?

[olishant]

Well, no. It just has to be interesting. It's only a coincidence that complicated songs are often much more entertaining. However it is entierely up to each person to decide. That's just my preference.

[shinshikamaru]

I can't argue with that...you're right.

I disagree that by coincidence that complicated songs ends up being more entertaining. But that's just me. Like you said...personal tastes has a lot to do with that.

Well anyway, enjoy wtv you are enjoying =)

[frontino050]

this man its whack! XD <3

[supersnake93]

this was horrible :(

[openmy3rdeye]

In your opinion maybe.

[mickeypopa]

This was great! A mystical feel to it, almost like being in a shade of a palm tree surrounded by a desert wasteland. Really, really fantastic performance! I loved it!

[ways1234]

Nice Post.......n passion.

[tigreslokos]

most creative mother fucker on this planet

[lalegalitalprimopost]

ma chi caz tla miss sta chitarr man???v

[lalegalitalprimopost]

ma chi cazz tla miss sta chitarra man??????

[budtheman1234]

I have see 5 of this mans Videos and to say that he is Bad would me a overstatement but he is not on pair with most of the musicians on CandyRat Records that I have hear. I think you could really do better but after the first 20 sec I was not impressed, get better with just Playing then work with the sound effects and you will be amazing

keep working on it if you love your craft you have a good start now refine refine refine

[ShatOnATurtle10]

If you listen to his other songs like luna or viandti on his other album, you might like that more. Unfortunately that album isnt on candyrat, so they dont have his better songs on video

[RuthlessToothless89]

True he isnt as skilled a player as Mckee or Dufour ..but you can not say that this guy isnt creative. But if you want an example of someone who isnt as skilled as other CandyRat musicians who produces great music listen to Craig D'Andrea ..amazing stuff. This guy is good too.

[bloodstain3000]

in my opinion it is really not about skill - it is just about what you communicate with your music, one way or the other... and i think that this guy is skilled indeed

[stuajs]

crea todo un ambiente, de buena forma, nose si es de lo mejor de lo mejor pero que es un innovador lo es...

[NadorsGoddess]

Sounds like he's got at least one octave thing on the mic as well as the delay on the guitar... O.o

[music4fusion]

it actually reminds me of Into The Wild type of song

[music4fusion]

wow..very cool

[JacksonTheGod]

his a 1 man show

[babbersabber]

which effect does he use?

[BrighamHB]

not only is it impressive that he can do a song like this using only himself, his guitar and repeat pedals, but the fact that he can make a whole CD of songs like this, each of them original, unique and good sounding, amazes me.

[Feylihn]

That sounds sick as hell

[memorieslive]

Actually, really cool.

[nysnaggadmammut]

Is it just me who thinks it sounds like Knight rider in the begining? Lol

[pzamma]

Bravo Sergio!! una conferma se mai ce ne fosse stato bisogno.

Wicked!!

[roygift]

your speakers are going to die....

[loredrago93]

Complimenti Sergio

[HeadMinerve]

The rhthmic signature from 3:00 to 4:00 (nearly) is weird. Kinda 3 times, but not very clean... Hard to keep the groove in mind !

[Dreamslideproduction]

man that really envoke some emotions man, thx for the post

[ransan6025]

It's music. I'm not sure why it matters how it is done. I enjoyed the sound.

[OpiumKoolaid]

I listened to this stoned and tried to eat my left shoulder.

[MoanaLindsey]

lmao

[ransan6025]

Heheheh, LOL. That could be dangerous.:)

[poupa89]

@OpiumKoolaid im in tha same situation you were....and im trying to keep my mouth closed

[angrypro]

@OpiumKoolaid Its funny cuz i started to try to eat my shoulder xD

[franksportz]

For the first time you have let me down Candyrat I guess it had to happen at some stage. I don't like it at all.

[K1LL14N]

Well this is indeed totally different stuff than other candyrat artist, so it doesn't amaze me if people don't like this AT ALL. Because it's all very raw and pure and well it doesn't really have a nice package.. I see this more as Art through music and I looooove it! not to listen together with my girlfried on a romantic saturday night but well :P just to listen to from time to time.

If people don't like this, I can understand that but this music is still full of skill and creativity! :)

[MidnightPolak]

Wicked use of extended technique!

[lakaygayyad]

thank you for the music

[demstudio]

What's the name for that effect for voices? Sounds really cool

[vincent06800]

The goal is not to be the only one able to do that, just to share music !

[bacdoliljo]

And anyone else can play a song by plucking strings or pushing keys on a piano... it's about creativity and art.

[justanuisance]

That's sweet!

[WedenatorIrons]

It sounds good, therefore i like it.

Speed, technique and over-the-top talented measures are impressive, but if they don't sound good in my opinion, why would i want to listen to it?

[Soggycorndogs]

shitty and completely un-candyrat worthy.

[valerii2473]

laga!  full huinya! this is track, not live!

[r3ck0rd]

innovative... I like this :)

[Chyphor]

HAHAHAHAA

[traptraptraptraps]

GTFO

[ilumon]

This is why I hate this guys songs... Carece de belleza...

[mrboogerz123]

cool idea but a bit bored towards the end.

[BelieveIntheBucket]

its cool to see guitarists write songs they can play by themselves live in one take. but it would be cooler with multiple tracks of him playing, like for the second part.... but then it would be less impresive but it would sound cooler.

[BelieveIntheBucket]

hahaha. thats cool. with the delay.  its like he has a whole band of percusionists and a choir.

[CaptinCaruso]

This guy is my favourite artist on this channel.

[Genesimmonsrocks]

If it wasnt for all the pedals and what not this song would be crap...

[asphyxiafeeling]

OOOOH BRILLIANT OBSERVATION!

[BelieveIntheBucket]

this song wouldnt be crap... he just wouldnt be able to play it the same by himself... but if he had a huge ensemble he could. and the song would be the same... without the effects

[KiriamLeech]

He doesnt do anything!

[oldschoolhappymetal]

is that a loop pedal or somethig else????

[BelieveIntheBucket]

not looping. its just echoing what hes playin... delay

[xTroop18546x]

A whole other musical mind

[jballnswish]

I don't understand. but I guess its good for what it is. I admire people who try different stuff.

[JSoucy21]

wow. freakin pro man, loved the sound. so new to me and so awesome sounding

[pupsoid1]

What else can I say? Cool. Still Antonie does it without any sound effects.

[LucasontheAxe]

agreed

[K1LL14N]

well, Antoine does different stuff :P

Antoine wouldn't be able to play this song without pedals :P

Love Antoine btw, but also like Sergio's stuff

[IHaveAMask]

The percussion on the guitar was the best part. I hate when this idiot uses the guitars strings, because he tends to fuck it all up. At least he's finally learned what a whole-step and half step is.

[HeartaQ]

More experimental stuff like this!

[wubi2]

amazing

[TrooperCX]

i guess

[uwideo]

Sehr cool!

[jasonr123guitar]

Pretty dope. It's different but I like it. Nice job!

[Incontrolados]

Bravo !!!!

[jonas227]

I love his experimental compositions and overall sound - oh and comparing him to Antoine Dufour or Andy McKee is ridiculous, their music is completely different.

[danielml01]

This is super brilliant.  Although, when I saw the title I was thinking, "OK, how is he gonna make his guitar sound like a dolphin? This is gonna rock!" Still rocks, but no dolphin sounds. :(

[Disposable12Hero]

Brutal right hand rhythm.

[HempFriend]

there are .. just look on the rpoland channel

[RSKueffner]

Sir, I believe you have missed the point.

[MartaineJr]

it may not look like it, but setting "hi-tech" toys is quite a hard job, not every1 can do it and it takes a lot of ingenuity, experience and understanding of the flow of music.

he is a true musician :-)

[hkim927]

just because you use a lot of effects and loops, it doesnt automatically exclude you from being a true musician. It takes a true musician to know how to manipulate sounds to make better music. If it takes a couple pedals for him to achieve that sound that he wants, who cares.

[legunncat]

This song may be weak, but some of this others are amazing.

[LifeSon777]

I fucking adore this guy!

[NPC919]

Yeah I mean... Umm...

I don't really know lol... I'de like to see him on drums lol... I mean he's capable of very very melodic stuff... But it's just ...Oh I can't be bothered.

[kengkaru]

yay..

[RichPark92]

I like how he plays with the echo effect to make it sound interesting :D

the intro was pretty cool too.

[thema6ician]

and anyone thats been playing guitar for more than a week could play this stupid shit... just beat the shit out of the body of the guitar... in horrible time, then start moaning in the mic... grab a cpu fan and strap a pic on every propeller bc you cant tremelo... then scrape a DS on strings... bam you got this guys music

[kubastanek14]

So where's the video of you playing sth better? or are you just a stupid looser who can only write shits like that without doing a thing?

[0011023]

Yeah, but if you tried it, you'd just sound like a fucking tit with no idea about music.

This is more like a movie soundtrack than ANOTHER FUCKING FINGERPICKER! Getting sick of that crap now. This is more interesting.

Yeah, so all in all, shut the fuck up.

[thema6ician]

this guy is SSOOOOOOO TERRIBLLEEEEE he makes me want to remove this channel from my subscriptions. his music sounds like shit. FAIL

[SaveOurServer]

not a fan of it. Definitely more into the original acoustic guitar style. bash me if you want for not being into all the effects but it just didn't sound that pleasing to me.

[Zemtex2451]

sounds fucking awesome love it!!! Make more! :D

[thormaxtwo]

When he was just using his acoustic, nothing else, it sounded great... The entire song is just, well annoying. I subscribed because of people like Andy Mckee, Kelly Valleau, not because of some guy who plays more with technology than he does guitar... It must be hard, it must take tons of practice, and it must take lots of preparation. Just... Cant' he use that time and practice on something actually... Musical?

[DamianM6060]

Why does it matter if he uses technology to create music? When the guitar was invented it was considered new technology, they found out how to use strings to make different sounds. He uses whats available to him to make music, and what he does is incredibly creative and musical.

[1firehawk3]

guaranteed he can run circles around you playing "real" guitar without effects or technology.

[thormaxtwo]

Oh I'm sure he could, I'm not saying he sucks, just saying that he sounds great without the effects, and if he did without them he'd be pretty damn good. I've only been playing for about 4 years, I'm sure he could play beyond anything I could do.

[Glenlego]

<33

[AnApatheticJester]

This guy is probably my new favorite artist from Candy Rat. I love getting new videos from him. I can't wait to see what kind of unique sound he comes up with next.

[Geoshi]

This is so unique and special, great job! =)

[lui93t15M]

WTF!!!!!!!!

[tman916x]

1:38 feels like I just walked into a church or somethin.

[alonsoalonchis]

jajaja wtf? great job men!

[FaddaWolf]

ok, if u think this is sh*tty then something's wrong with u.... or u just can't understand the level of difficulty and or appreciate the sound.... but all in all... that was actually VERY good.....

[Dgc2003]

Someone can put a lot of time watching what they eat so they have tight stools...but no matter how much work they put into all they're doing is making shit.

I'm not saying this song is shit, there is some artistic value here..but i'm never going to listen to this with the intention of enjoying it.

[shaggy2dope150]

this guy is like jimi hendrix but wit an acoustic=)

[Muzikman127]

shut the FUCK up

[shakesk]

It's alright. I was more impressed with some of his other work ---> Dragonfly!

[sockersimon]

srsly?

[xXshermanaterXx]

thats some trippy shit lol

[ttrays]

L'arte dei suoni... eccola.

[alwsfaction]

Very nice !!

[killer1098]

Ok its just Wow.

I cant stop listening to it its so good.

really he got very special talent
