Beatboxen zou ik omschrijven als 'geluidjes maken met je mond'. Beatboxen omschrijven kan dus simpel, maar het beoefenen ervan? Niet zo simpel. Probeer het maar eens. Een pfrrrt ptssst pah lukt mij nog wel. Maar om er echt iets samenhangend van te maken zal ik nog veel mogen oefenen, je pense.

En dan moet je weten dat samenhangende geluidjes nog niet genoeg zijn. Het moet ook goed klinken, net zoals een instrumentaal liedje. En alsof dat nog niet genoeg is, moet je tussen - of op - de geluidjes ook nog eens tekst kunnen zingen. Talent vereist dus.

Laatst was ik bij Jasmine thuis. En guess what? Haar vriendje is zo'n talent. Misschien heb je er zelfs al eens over gehoord? Fatty K? Hij trad nog op in het Swingpaleis, of op de Radio Donna Zomertour.
Anyway, ik heb hem laatst dus bezig gehoord. Hij beatboxte onder andere een liedje van Justin Timberlake. Ik zweer het: DAT moet je kunnen hoor. Zo zingen en muziek maken met diezelfde mond.

Fatty K - Lonely

First up we have the Youtube user VaDrum, he is an excellent drummer. Here he does his rendition of The Barber of Seville.

Second we have Greg Pattillo with a beatbox flute rendition of Peter and the Wolf.

Third I present to you Art Rodriguez with a metal cover of Mozart's Turkish March.

Last but least to complete these modern day classics, Zack Kim plays Prelude No.2 in C minor, by J.S.Bach on two guitars at the same time.

I've hope you've enjoyed this, as always have a great day.

(thx Martin)

This guy called Mike, currently working with Luckyiam, just shot a new vid showcasing how you can make beats with your own mouth using this beatbox.

The video is a couple years old but still nice. Features Last 4 One dance crew. It's a really cool cultural mix showcase.

In their August 8, 2008 article, "25 Most Exciting Bands in America," NME honored our red-blooded Americans artists from HEALTH to Yo Majesty.

That's right, we're absolutely smashing.

Supposedly the best beatboxers of the the UK. Long video but is really good stuff.

But, first, and I hope you can forgive me for saying this, but I think stalkers in this day and age are wimps.  I mean, come on, you log on to Friendster (or any other social networking site), search for the name of the person you are obsessing about and voila, instant information! No sweat. During my stalker days, I had to do everything the traditional way. There was even a time that I went to Mass every Sunday just to get a glimpse of the object of my obsession, making careful calculations on where I should place myself especially during the “Our Father” part (where the churchgoers where required to hold hands) and the “Peace be with you” part (where the churchgoers were required to face each other in greeting).  Stalking before actually required guts, mathematical calculation, and strategic thinking.

Disclaimer: There are actually two types of stalkers: the harmless  ones where I used to belong (harmless being contented with obsessing from afar and totally aware that the obsession will not be reciprocated) and the harmful ones (those suffering from insanity or delusions of grandeur… in short, these are the stalkers with restraining orders under their belt…)

So anyway, the first step to stalking is to know the appropriate theme song for your object of obsession (which we will refer to as “stalkee” from hereon). I have compiled a list of songs which deals specifically with stalking. Please note that your choice of song reflects the category of stalking that you belong to…

1. Wala Nang Pwedeng Magmahal Sa’yo (aka The Stalker Song) from the Itchyworms’ Noontime Show album

This song tells of an obsession from a point of view of a fan. For fan stalkers, same type applies as the one indicated in the disclaimer. There is nothing wrong with fantasizing a threesome with your favorite actors or actresses, however, there is something seriously disturbing when you start sending them marriage proposals and then threatening them if they rejected you.

2.       Your House by Alanis Morissette from the Jagged Little Pill album

To those of you who happen to have a cassette tape of Alanis Morissette’s breakthrough album (her best one, IMO), Your House is hidden on the B-side track list. This song is both haunting and painful and Alanis singing this acapella is enough to send goosebumps all over your body. However, no matter how beautiful this song is, let us not forget that this is about someone who went to the house of his/her object of obsession and started imagining them together to the point that the stalker even wore the stalkee’s clothes, smelled his cologne and basically made a mess of the stalkee’s house.

3.       The more you ignore me (the closer I get) by Morrissey from the Vauxhall and I album

This is for the proactive stalker. Just look at these lyrics:

Beware !
I bear more grudges
Than lonely high court judges
When you sleep
I will creep
Into your thoughts
Like a bad debt
That you can't pay
Take the easy way
And give in
Yeah, and let me in

See. For the stalker who knows what he/she wants and knows that the quickest way to the object of his/her obsession is through fear and intimidation.

4.       Spiderwebs by No Doubt from the Tragic Kingdom album

I’ve read from somewhere (I’m not sure if it’s from an online article or the album sleeve of No Doubt’s greatest hits album) that this song was based on a man who used to call Gwen Stefani for hours to recite bad poetry to her. Although this song was written from the stalkee’s point of view, it still provides us with an insight on how, through sheer “kakulitan”, a stalker can annoy the living lights out of the stalkee. Remember that for stalkers who belong to the second category (the harmful ones), annoyance of the stalkee is a positive reinforcement.

5.       Every breath you take by The Police from the Synchronicity album

This is the national anthem of all stalkers. Enough said.

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you

La-di-da-di, we like to party.

In other news, my Summer Holidays have started at last! So that means 6 weeks holiday! Whooooooo!!!!!!!! I'll try not to post more than three times a day :D ! I might work on a few pages, add a few more and maybe make a new header!

Now isn't that better?

Thanks to Douglas for alerting me to the existence of this.

Cada vez hay más gente que lo tiene como Hobby. Parece sencillo, pero después de ver el vídeo que hay mas abajo, intentad imitarlo sin ningún instrumento extra.

En este vídeo, el beatboxer hace una "receta" añadiendo cada vez más sonidos.

En mi opinión este es uno de los videos de Youtube que mas me gusta. Este video se te mete en la cabeza, y os aseguro que cuesta mucho quitarselo...
