Someone In The Crowd Requested Blur Song 2 On Modular Synth haha

** im surprised how many people think this was pre planned haha, especially coming from musicians, it is a simple song even if you have heard it a couple of times your brain can retain most of the lyrics and the simple riff, if you are a musician and cant figure out the notes to that riff in your head, id recommend practicing more!!!. it would take wayy more effort for me to plan it, plant some people in the crowd and then orchestrate it lol. **a bit of reference. at every show i ask for songs to play from the audience. half the time its too complicated to figure out straight away, but after a handful of suggestions there is a song i remember ish and we try to tackle playing it. it doesnt always work! but thats the whole thing. just giving it a go. Song order in the video :- Blur song 2 Desperado Vespa Waiting For The World To End Night Or Day

I like how he looks like he is some technician working on an industrial machine

"bro, feel the bass?" "🫨 dude! I can SEE the bass!"

This is what I Imagine when someone says "Industrial Synthwave"

this dude is actually doing what people think DJ's are doing. Edit: DJ's are the gym teachers of music. You couldn't teach but you still wanted to play with the kids. If you enjoy DJ'ing or DJ's thats alright, but please please stop being so butthurt about somebody knowing how useless your profession is. No DJ's Don't do exactly this at home then bring it to the stage, Most DJ's are huge wastes of Space, anything past a DJ, aka somebody that makes music, we call them musicians, not DJ's. It's so sad to see you guys trying to protect DJ'ing like its an art and not just a skill. Yes DJ shit can be hard to do, but that does not mean that it has anything to do with being a musician. If your job is to clean the gum off the sidewalk on the Golden gate bridge, would you really compare yourself to the fella that built it? DJ's SHHH

Dude just spontaneously did a cover live on stage. What a legend.

the bass-induced camera shake is just perfect

"ok guys, i'm done sound balance seems good, the artist can come and play now"

When the sound technician is left alone to test the sound system:

I'm a light guy, I do stage lighting. The guy who's working this has a really good feel for it. Well done mr light guy.

Better crowd than Blur had at Coachella. Nice job Sam!

heavy synths, blown out vocals chefs kiss

The confluence of musician, artist, and engineer. Love it.

sometimes i forget that he's also just a really good musician

i love how the camera is vibing with the song and it's al blurrrrrry

That's insane amounts of multitasking, especially concentrating on the singing in pitch while you work out the rest in real time! Beardyman would be proud.

As many raves I have been to throughout the 90s and early 2000s I have never seen a set up like that. Amazing.

the industrial technician aesthetic of the performance (not just the jumpsuit, but the way that goes perfectly with the managing of the synth rack) is so cool, and really contextualizes music production in an really interesting way.

This is literally how Albarn started the Gorillaz. Ghost Train was the first song he made under that name and it vibes hard.

He is the computer.
