Jamie Lidell Beatbox Freestyle

[undernative]

Winding up fans is so fucking boring.... the guy is a genius, no fucking matter if you are impressed or not...

[jermaine023]

u just completely copied my statement: He inputs the sound with his mouth. that's what I said. It's not that hard to do, so i'm not that impressed.

[chodes03]

"wow, he uses his mouth....f* no he aint"

anyway see him do it live then get back to me

[Magikdonut]

lol, yes it is. haha. plus, the nice thing with this guy is, he can actually sing, really well, so its not like the only thing he does anyway. playing three chords on a guitar aint hard, yet loads of tunes have that. if music has to be hard to impress you, then you're doing it all wrong.

[jermaine023]

I know Jamie Lidell is a great singer and I really like his music. But my original comment was about 111oose saying Jamie didn't use software and equipment, which he does. And I don't think he is such a great beatboxer also.

[jermaine023]

And.....If somebody plays the guitar and you ask what he uses to make the cool sound....."His finger" wouldn't be a satisfying answer. And music doesn't have to be hard to make to impress me, but if somebody makes a direct comment about his beatboxing-skills and I find the things he does with it not that hard, then I'm just not impressed. I never mentioned his talent for music itself, just his beatboxing skills.......

[jermaine023]

wow, he uses his mouth....f* no he aint. Anyone can input some sounds made with their mouth, he makes the music with that piece of equipment hes got there

[chodes03]

you have no clue, he uses "that piece of equipment" to record the sounds made with his MOUTH so that he can loop and layer them live on the spot

[sume0805]

probably he is using Max/MSP.

[MotheatTigers]

Anyone who knows what software & equipment he is using? I would like to now because that sounds so sweet!

[111oose]

software & equipment??

its called a mouth.

only effects i hear is a delay and some simple filtering (probaly from that korg ms-10)

But you could do something like this with about any live-looping software.

[MotheatTigers]

Thanks. But why rate my comment badly? Man I know what beatboxing is. I'm saying it is sweet. Jesus-fuckin'-christ what the hell I'm I gonna do not to be rated badly? Well great performance with his "mouth"! You happy now?

[MotheatTigers]

I also think he uses some PITCH SHIFTING effects.

[youarelackluster]

could be anything from maxmsp, reaktor to any other bunch of software that allows looping.

he was doing these mic-looping shows back in 2004 already, so its not ableton live 8's looper. its possible that he learnt the techniques from one matthew herbert. hard to say. wouldnt mind having that amount of control tho :)

[randomhunter]

tham sickness ...¡¡GOD!!

[Meilio]

Yhaaarr dam'n this is cool!!! Jamie love you...Reminds me of the danish artist Bjorn Svin!!! Jamie rules

[amsterdamgirl]
