My body is my instrument | Thorsen | TEDxOdense


I really like to beatbox and beatboxing

is multi-instrumental vocalist blah blah

blah for me

the vocal is an instrument kind of

instrument and what I like to do with

this instrument is I I think there’s a

lot of perks that is really good about

this instrument and one thing is you can

do it everywhere you can go around in

the streets you can sit in your toilet

beatboxing you can wait for the train

actually just every time you’re waiting

for something you have something you can

do instead of sitting like this on the

phone you can be beatboxing instead and

that’s what I would like about this also

a thing that I really like is that this

is an instrument not an imitation of an

instrument this has its own sound and

every single human has its own sound

like if when I was born that’s the sound

you know and that that’s where it all

started so I’m carrying all this

emotions with me in my body and this is

coming out of my mouth that’s how the

instrument works and that’s why I think

this is so original yeah and let me show

you something

hmmm this is level one

[Music]

[Laughter]

and the before

damn you guys you just clap before the

[Music]

so for me one thing is that I think that

the beatboxing itself is it’s kind of

something that other instruments have

that it’s something that you have to

practice years and years to like get

this emotion out of like a bass guitar

I’ve been playing bass for seven years

and I’ve never ever achieved the sound

and the emotion that I can get out of my

voice for example let me show you

something here the Reese the reason why

I beatbox and the reason why I love to

love it so much is because I can create

music that’s coming from a brain to my

mouth there is like this only channel

here and I don’t need anything else

to make music but there’s one problem

and it’s kind of like because I like to

sing a lot you like to write lyrics I’m

a singer/songwriter and when you’re

trying to sing like I have a I have a

high delivery’s like this and now we

open with when the time of your heart

with my business have upside you got be

stupid

could you hear what I said did you

understand it okay and this is why this

is why I’m using something called a dip

station and what it does is that it

loops yourself like this soups yourself

like the soups yourself like the soups

and you can really use this for good

when you’re singing so I will be caught

the drums

and we caught the bass I can wish on

symphonies if you wanna take it down

with the bass style goes wrong oh you

get out with the face down go if we did

with them how is she I choked oh you did

how with the face stop I’m removing with

the wooden every time we feel it I ever

say when in my mind you know with this L

by desire cannot be stupid if you’re not

moving your body we cannot be taking it

and yeah that’s basically what I love

about Loop Station do you want to hear

track all right before I make the track

I want to I want to show you mention

that I use effects on this one but still

everything that you’re about to hear is

coming straight from my mouth and the

only effects I’m using is for this crazy

effect I’m showing you right now is

delay and a slice effect and together it

thank you guys

I found myself dreaming body good life
