@@lileinstein104 yup and parts of it's software were custom written for Beardy while the rest is an amalgamation of various stuff he made to work together. It's mostly based on Ableton and few ultra low latency and high efficient plugins the iPads are essentially just very efficient control surfaces for all the things he does. There are loopers, and each loop can go through the Turnado vst which is a multi effect with 24 effects to choose from. The Turnado itself is powerhouse of a vst not only you have 24 effects to choose from you can use 8 at once if you want and they can take you on one hell of a sound design journey. The cool thing is that Beardy now can take the master stereo out and record it's output as one of the loops to then make a remix and then switch to a completely new song that he made 5 minutes into the future.

Oh that's just a brief intro to the world of craziness, wonder and unpredictability that is Beardyman's performative improvised music. Each twitch stream is fully improvised form scratch, each live concert is fully improvised from scratch (I've been to two in one weekend and can confirm that), the only drawback is that you can't really sing along because you don't know what's gonna happen next second. Sometimes even Beardyman isn't fully aware of where his skills and gear will take him thanks to the symbiotic relationship between the two. And his gear is state of the art custom made and continually refined live music production system. This video and set up is a legacy og stuff at this point, this is like a car while the latest Beardytron can achieve warp speeds, kind of deal.

Beardyman, taking the concept of improv to new and absurd limits since god knows when. If you want an extended taste of what insanity he's up to in more recent times, I'd recommend checking out the recording of him live in london from 2019. Even if you're not into electronic music, the sheer spectacle of seeing sounds and tunes one would expect a producer to build for hours in a studio just being produced live in real time by a guy making noises into a mic is something to witness. Oh and you can catch him on tour if you happen to be near where that's happening, or on Twitch where he does the same beardyman things.
