Reggie Watts: Out Of Control on Vimeo
This is an incredible performance, done with a loop machine in real time with no video editing including the slow motion part. For those who don’t know what a loop machine is, it will take sound and loop or play it repeatedly and Reggie is making all of the sounds with his mouth, no drum machines here. He builds up the mix, track by track and then sings over it. This is not only a wonderful piece but it’s a great demonstration of how a top performer can work with these tools to make something great. I can’t stop playing this. Argh!

UNBELIEVABLE!! Now you have me hooked!
Pam: I want one of those small loop machines. Gotta go borrow one from DD when he eventually returns from Boulder. That dude Reggie Watts is way talented. Way.

[...] This is amazing - one man and a loop machine [...]
Jon, the question is, how much of this can we do right now with Garageband? I’m not sure, gotta give it a go.
