This is Eric Glazier (me) playing the AKAI EWI with Stephen Gans doing some beatboxing (vocal percussion). We are using a Boss loop station with a Peavey amp. This is a live performance at a talent show in Furman University's McAlister Auditorium.

  • what song did you start playing? i kno but i forgot what it's called. lol.

    great job!! your very talented.

  • The first song was Pachelbel's Canon and the second was "The Way I'm are" (kind of). Thanks!

  • hmm...somebody likes Michael Brecker's EWI solo "Song for Barry"

  • ME ME! Not just his EWI stuff though. I've been listening to/studying his tenor playing for years. It still blows my mind!

  • Hi again. I have a yamaha wx5. I want to make you a question:

    can you make a octave glissando with ewi? (wx5 no)

    can you play a canon live with the ewi? (recording what you are playing 5 seconds back f.e.)

    thank you!

  • Yeah man, you can do an 8 octave gliss if you want to! I was using a loop station to do my live playback, but you can also use delay fx to play canons. You just couldn't do all the layering I did.

  • I don't know what you people are hearing but the beat boxing is awesome. I happen to know him, and hate him, but for a stupid band/chorus teacher he can beat box like a pro.

  • Nice job.. that's a very inventive way to perform Canon in D!

  • you can use a bass or a keyboard amp

  • man i have some questions:

    What things do you need to play the ewi you have, a computer to program it and what kind of amplifier do i have to buy

  • Me Likey

  • Me Likey

  • I heard you starting to playing that "Song for Barry" by michael brecker

  • This is easyer that a clarinet because it hasn't a reed... You just have to blow like a recorder.

  • if you play clarinet can you play this too?
