What's Up On YouTube: One Album Per Hour With Beardyman
Friday 12 September 2014
The music-making process is traditionally seen as prolonged and painful: weeks spent burning through budget in a darkened studio, wrestling with recording equipment and sweating over songwriting. Beatbox maestro
Beardyman
is having none of that -- he's planning to make an album an hour in a series of live shows on YouTube which harness the power of his audience and input from a celebrity record producer.
The series starts with
Jack Black
at the controls
from 9pm this Sunday, September 14
, as Beardyman prepares to sift through song titles
submitted online
. He'll then lay down a bassline, instrumentation and conjure up verse and chorus using nothing more than his mouth, his mind and a mass of electronic trickery (including the all-new
Beardytron_5000 mkIII
). The weeks to come will see
Peter Serafinowicz
,
Tim Minchin
and
Daniel Sloss
submit to the same process.
So tune in for an hour of music, madness and improvisation with a strong chance of comedy live on YouTube this Sunday. Not to mention the opportunity to watch Beardyman sweat and presumably fast-forward through the 'difficult second album' barrier. For more trending videos head to the
YouTube UK spotlight channel
and if talk of tunes has you wanting more,
