[@bencone3737]

This is the kind of performance that takes tons and tons of time dedicated to experimenting, practicing routines, etc. Incredibly impressive and indicative of what the world could be like if everyone were given the opportunity to pursue their passion to the fullest. Imagine a world where everyone could create so freely like this.

A JD Beck interview led me here and I am psyched.

I love that fake out where he makes you think he's going to hit the snare, but he doesn't.

[@jacobsettlemyre4789]

Funny it’s an Ableton video, but there’s clearly logic on his laptop

[@MyPosible]

Jajajajaj yep

[@NEEDSHES]

Haha you right😂

[@derrickulous]

Lol

[@abrakadeep8810]

„A summit for music makers“, not live users 🎶👌🏼

[@AdamBagleysgoogleaccount]

Was gonna say this lol

[@Gregariariosfeebs]

he straight cut up a single 2 second vocal melody from Windowlicker and used it as a basis for this. that's insane.

[@Faenith]

Bjork Homogenic? Aphex Windowlicker? I have a doubt :) Anyway that's insane, I totally agree with this!

[@geoffreywilliams9341]

Loved it from the Bjork splices on.... monster! LOVE what he's doing!

[@oranjeguice]

Yooooo the second track is fucking awesome. I'm an all-around fan of Deantoni and his Technoself projects. I like that no two performances are exactly the same. I like hearing him find a cool sound or phrase and push/explore it. I think it's awesome that his keyboard is like an extension of his drum kit. Love the subtle changes in his hits.

[@adamfield36]

The fill after 9:46 belongs in the drum fill hall of fame.

[@Warfinger2116]

Yeah! That fill changed my life for a few years! 😂

[@stephenrichards5172]

Starting at 6:11 is one of the most amazing performances I have ever heard.

[@McShag420]

Yeah I came here to type this...so good.

[@theironshiek]

You called it my man

[@shade044]

Björk - Joga if anyone's wondering about the second piece :)

[@lemonhscott7667]

Omg it totally is thank you

[@RobFlaxMusic]

That fill right after the 11:00 mark made me shout out loud!

[@amaddinthenow]

I like coming back to this classic.

[@vondoomsie]

this is my favorite video on youtube, thank you Deantoni

[@alexanderdavidsonbryan7264]

That's actually a really simple yet elegant way of playing sample based music live. I suppose its just like playing samples on a launchpad, but I feel like he's bringing extra virtuosity to it. maybe the keyboard layout has something to do with that

[@gabrielmazza7923]

Alex Davidson Bryan I guess the fact that he's a world class drummer plays a major role there? it's performance based music (forget about launchpad and keyboard layout)

[@angelperezmonarrez9892]

This dude should work with DOOM

[@JezzuZZ7FReaKK]

RIP

[@andthefatman]

Everyone should have worked with DOOM.

[@alexzamora5285]

Bro... Bro. :'o

[@sCumBagDads]

RIP DOOM ALL CAPS

[@THEKHAYYYAM]

I return to this, an iconic moment In drumming and electro glitch history.

[@noahbirdrevolution]

haven't heard Deantoni play in over 5 years... What have I been doing? Sidenote: He is jacked

[@MalacaMusicLab]

always coming back to this performance. This is 🔥 !!!!

[@pdrgallo]

i feel like im in a MRI machine

[@reginaldmcfadden4813]

Thank you.... I knew it reminded me of something.... Now I may have to get an MRI to assess the brain damage watching it may have caused .......

[@amaddinthenow]

Once in a while I like to come back to this video. Always satisfying and inspiring.

[@brianj4090]

I skip over so much music even good stuff doesn’t keep my attention long these days. Watched this full video and captivated. Great work!

[@duncancocker]

that part from 8:45 to 10:00 nearly made me fall out of my chair. mindblowing stuff

[@ForARide]

Deantoni drums a lot for the incredible John Cale. Two musical masters.

[@TheDonZaloog]

I’ve watched this video some many times through out the years, one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen and heard. Wish they would put it on Spotify.

[@vincentcsmith102]

the bjork bit was so good.

[@andrewpolk7759]

Simply amazing. Can't believe my ears. Hat's off!

[@PietroGarrone]

no man im in disbelief this is really really too good. real inspiration right here. thank you

[@zarakonstantin5910]

very good work, thanks for sharing it

[@rossdownes5210]

Amazing - mesmeric and totally captivating - loved it

[@lukahren4563]

Amazing... I wish I could see him live !

[@Feministslayer2019]

5 years later it’s still busting

[@kobbygh8932]

Ableton but why is he using Logic Pro X. strange

[@fdepride]

KGH I think he using it for mixing outs in rewire mode

[@gabrielmazza7923]

nah, why would he do that? he's simply playing a sampler from logic :) dead simple

[@gabrielmazza7923]

I know that it may seem weird since it's an ableton event, but last year Loop was more of an "all round" music workshop, rather than a way to promote Live

[@gabrielmazza7923]

KGH again, he's not rewiring anything..

[@gabrielmazza7923]

nah he's not. guys, why would he use two software for a sampler? I think you're overcomplicating the setup :) anyway, we'll know sooner or later; I was at loop last year, ( I actually was in the audience watching deantoni parks) and it's been a very "open" event, welcoming every type of software and ideas. (apart from NI, fuck NI)

[@andycordy5190]

Amazing work. A very imaginative composition.

[@PeterAmby]

Tight and different. I like it! Especially from 6 min. mark. Wow! He's awesome.

[@iceakanni]

Amazing !!!!

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

[@peterbsims]

Extraordinary!

awesome vid

[@diesto3707]

9:20 is my favorite part throughout!!

[@synoneiro]

Kinda makes me think of Steve Reich, that bit... Different Trains, maybe

[@NoiseisKing]

Thats last part was fire !

[@x1thesoul172]

Holy shit, he was in The Mars Volta??

[@bartondisplay]

Yup! Sure is/was!

[@jamesmorris911]

Not really...he was in the omar Rodriguez-Lopez group.

[@KidAAlvarez]

he played drums on the last Mars Volta album Noctourniquet

[@jamesmorris911]

KidAAlvarez damn! I knew that...thought it was thomas pridgen for some reason...

[@LadislavBehounekable]

he was in both biatch!"!

[@Cangsque]

That's LogicProX!!!

Whenever people say that multitasking isnt possible Im going to show them this video.

[@nickdreikausen239]

So much potential..

[@omkarleon4773]

His a genius how he had this idea is simply amazing love him

[@ElenaZelena]

fooking skillz, this is music !

[@Moneymakinshark-dawg]

Anyone know what keyboard that is?

[@vaughnmontgomery6655]

got to hang with deantoni a couple time in the early 2000s when he was playing with kudu & meshell ndegeocello. what a badass! & gave a green nobody like me the time of day to hang & play some. what a radical performance! thanks, D !

[@Claidheambmor]

I absolutely love Kudu. I saw Deantoni play with The Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Group in 2013, he's a beast

[@allinaline8598]

LEGEND BEAT ENABLED

[@MicheleZuccarelliGennasi]

As all the "new" thing that comes out in art, mostly are very repetitive and focused on a one, simple concept, but very deep. IMHO I think Deantoni is making a step forward in the way we look the music, but more in the way we look the drums and how we play it. :)

[@jamesmorris911]

Parks > metronome

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

It really is incredible.

[@alexanderdeschutter8820]

@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer it is. I loved his stuff as soon as i heard it, but have only finally checked out his live. Dude meshes man and machine seamlessly..

[@TheGeekyAmreeki]

Fire brother

[@T47BH]

I was really impressed With synchronized sound sources, I am happy to know the musicality that I can not express! My eyes and ears are very comfortable now ヽ(　´　o　｀　)ノ haha

[@farvezafridifaizurrahman6980]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

[@AngelGabriel-rg7vl]

fucking amazing dude!!!

[@mr.anderson7233]

Hiya! less bring it back! I wanna learn, I wanna attend!

[@reidknighten8850]

You guys are ridiculous, this is incredible.

[@birdsiview6845]

Love the builds ups and breaks with just snare hits back into full beats and keeping different time with the hi hat than with the right hand. Very complicated shit.

[@pEtr3i]

Window Licker sample...

[@A7exandersca7es]

Pedro Nuno Trigueiro de Sousa oh shit that box? really? hahaha noice

See that's what I call a Unison midi chord pack right here

I name all my video game characters after Deantoni Parks

[@andthefatman]

Like, nut drum fuck?

[@johndhaskell]

wow.

[@ShakingMadDavid37]

D is the man!

[@pedrobulgakov2448]

how do you do that with logic??

[@martynasvil]

this is fuckin sick

[@whoppy1131]

can anyone tell me the name of that little keyboard machine thingy he playing with?

[@steviezapata]

looks like an Arturia Minilab, but any midi controller would work. The sounds don't come from the keyboard though, it just samples from the computer.

[@zaxbit]

holy sh*t

[@frankalfar]

The beginning esp was really cool. Imagine trying to remix this. 🔥tech though.

[@saintnicholas5507]

Anyone know the midi controller being used here?

[@alexanderdavidsonbryan7264]

I believe it's the Arturia MiniLab

[@adisonmiller8552]

This is on Ableton's youtube but it looks like he is using logic pro lol

[@GogOtHeCaT15]

Lots of potential I found that very cool

[@ChrisMaxPinset]

word up . Master D . str8 up

[@AndreaSorrentiZancle]

Who knows which microphones he is using?

[@steventeijeiro5988]

Do people not get that the length of the different parts were intentional? If you get angry that's your problem. Not the artist.

[@espe_cies]

Magazo!!!

[@betweenparties]

after 9:30 in the video, it put me in a trance. Absolutely beautiful

[@1musikgeek]

What is that keyboard thing called?

[@raytheonorion]

Arturia definitely. Model I think is the Minilab but not the Mk ii. I may be wrong though. That's my best guess.

[@xoalinehue]

Caught a BOSNIAN RAINBOWS show at The Red 7 in Austin Texas. It was dope asssffffff....

[@questionmarkphonenumber]

Me at guitar center playing with the DJ equipment:

[@whiterhino414]

fuck.....amazing

[@jeanse27]

Ableton Live is perfect for instant looping... The intro is nice with all the keys and drums playing but maybe make some midi loops on the fly and then using both arms to get a groove starting... I don't know...

[@x1thesoul172]

Drilldoughzer The CV Slave there's a lot more variation when played by hand and interplay. Otherwise it would have static moments, and any point of repetition would be less meaningful. Sounds good with my eyes closed. Don't be fooled by your expectations of virtuosity. They can take away from something that's enjoyable.

[@ChrisBuonoGuitar]

Deantoni is deep.

[@calidrummer2362]

I get what he's doing but as a drummer, I like the Tony Verderosa approach where he plays the samples and loops in the drumming.

[@birdsiview6845]

The Triple Time parts are dope.

[@StankoAx]

But where is the looping part?

[@delasan1860]
