"Genesis" by Grimes @ Good Records

[@MTCMAG]

Yes, she was singing. Outside of the backing track (which she triggers herself), she is playing the song using multiple devices, i.e. synth keyboard, sampler, vocal looper, and pedal. It is all live, she is not simply playing a CD or lip syncing. Hope that helps.

[@TS-hw7ro]

all real grimey people already knew, but thanks for reminding the less knowledgeable

[@piecesreesese5913]

pretty obvious

[@danielciancio1103]

Every grimes video there's someone like you pointing out the damn obvious.

[@sekushimitsukai330]

I miss her old stuff. So talented.

[@pioughd87]

I saw her play this live in a small venue before I'd ever watched videos of her performances. The breakdown she does where the song ends on the album was just thrilling - no one really had a sense of where the song was going, but everyone was part of this tremendous rising action built on those lush, gorgeous vocal loops. When she brought the drums back in the whole room lost it, strangers cheering and dancing together. One of the most memorable concert experiences I've ever had.

[@dannylopez4940]

she sounds like magic...

[@enmedallo]

I'm 30 and never in my life fell in love with an artist like this one. Really Like you Claire!

[@dadcanibeagirl]

your 38 now and im just turning 30 hello hope your still rocking out to grimes !!!! haha

[@thomasparkes5707]

old ass creepy nigga

[@PaletaLee]

I still do

[@JijiG1000]

Facking Cool!!!!❤❤❤ I just found this gems now, after 10 years….

[@LoveSetsUsFree]

Being real is the key, that's what it's like when you do something from the heart... rather than seeking fame or the money. True artist.

[@rosee4934]

The different beats fill everything in between

[@Graid]

What I really find refreshing about this is that it shows the rare sight of a woman as a performer and a musician here not actually looking like she's doing this for the gaze of the camera, but for herself.

[@cloudburstlia456]

i hate that the camera guy didn't show her playing the keyboard thanks

[@TheBrainless]

+cloudburstlia456 technically there is no keyboard, but agree for camera.

[@MTCMAG]

+TheBrainless yes, she was playing a keyboard. musictasting.blogspot.com/2012/03/grimes-dans-silverleaf-denton-good.html

[@dvepps6780]

+gundleok what the hell does dude think she's playing? 😕

[@dankmheems290]

It's the producer or director that tells the cameramen where to stand and how to shoot.

[@snooch1]

@@dankmheems290 nobody was directing this

[@stephenbyrneireland]

musical genius

[@Drinkup105]

She fucking kicked ass back in the day. I get in a trance watching her mess with her equipment. True skills right here, and she's beautiful with her voice and her being. .. and I love her just rocking with the beat yo.... too sexy. .. what happened to the old"grimes"... beautiful smile as well

[@saraparks7040]

she still kicks ass idk what you're on

[@babygotblown]

My heart will never be, will never see, will never know Oh, heart, and then it falls and then I fall and then I know.

[@fy90s]

shes like a fairy from legend of zelda: a link to the past thats transcended the video game world into the real world to make beautiful music.

[@hotgurlpolly5236]

8:10 thx grimes for reminding me to drink water

[@guitaria6]

[@IBMboy]

4:30 accidentally play oblivion bass line

[@robccampos18]

Love her.

[@rootsm3]

I love watching her at work. She's the cutest.

[@lelq5989]

She's actually a quite good singer. Didnt noticed that before now

[@nicolagillespie7710]

She’s fascinating to watch 🥰 I love so heavy I fell through the earth ❤️

[@gaboreptile]

How I wish to see it live,she is amazing, her voice, her music also is beautiful :)

[@wisperianeyes]

I actually agreed with what you guys said about 4:30, but then I thought more about it. If you listen to Genesis alone, it has, at the very line, a single bass line from Oblivion. It's a transition and C maybe just didn't cut out the end of the recording in time.

[@MrAcidbrown]

Damn... so much talent.

[@11DaysOfDreams]

She can di all this by her self at the same time, awesome, i live her *-*

[@theresebrandser]

I love Grimes energy! ❤

[@PsychodelicRecords]

[@amyvazar]

I Love It!!

[@billyx67]

So much talent ; not enough shown here through the cameraman's lens. Maybe blind, maybe stupid, possibly both ? !

[@PeterStenlake]

honestly i dont object to said cameraman focusing on her face, think he (or she!) captured a terrific performance for the ages

[@fabioampe]

Much better than the music video version!

[@jasmineolivine]

ahahah i am currently watching that episode of comedy vehicle, and it reminded me of your comment.

[@wickedfkr]

love it!

[@Kenaz24]

Brilliant, love Genesis but the song really gets going for me at 4:50

[@spespespencer]

My mouth is now super dry from the excessive amount of drooling I just did thinking about those three making music together. So, you know....thanks. haha

[@slantyrice]

[@DreamFactoryVideo]

AMAZING GIRL!!! Terrible cameraman.. you missed her hands playing!

[@sonicyouth45]

[@eclectico78]

I love her hyperness haha I don't even know if that's a real word

[@MachenLand]

great vid! (next time,include filming her messing with the equipment) ^.^

[@Nightbrrd]

8:00

[@Kenshin11212]

Sadly, this video doesn't show her tweeking with her gear during this performance. The footage from the KEXP performance (which is in the related videos on the side) shows everything. It shows her starting the loops, playing the keyboard part, triggering the samples, etc.

[@guilhermebalanful]

Maybe it's cool to add that Grimes uses a vocal pedal (BOSS VE-20) that multiplies her voice as a choir (different notes for each voice and all), and that's probably how she sings that second part - but sometimes she may sing along a pre-recorded voice, I don't discard that. Regarding the samples, she activates each one each time, if you listen to her first performances you'll see her fucking up some samples and then it becomes clear how it works hehe. I hope I helped (excelent video!!) cheer

[@jamesbrousseau2736]

Yessssss

[@drofydoc]

like wow!

[@jsmyth024]

Nukka, please! Grimes is like, hella-gangsta. _._

[@AstandsforAlex]

AGREE 100%

[@brianjoseph666]

a talented woman

[@annuccio]

she's a genius :S

[@BonavonVovo]

The vox are heavily filtered too, with that much delay, echo and reverb it doesn't sound "natural". She layers the whole lot using loops as she goes (music and vocals), quite impressive really.

[@piposca]

amo-te

[@DickHern1]

Oh my god, I didn't even think about it. AH!

[@mykelc205]

How about Grimes opening for Atoms For Peace on there north American tour..Please? ♥♡★☆

[@bettysmith6903]

The musical taste might conflict, But all in all, the original brilliance of both Grimes and CoCo; Would make me cream if combined.

[@jasmineolivine]

that guy's a legend.

[@ryandommerman9295]

Guy?

[@ohnothefightsout]

the ultimate girl crush perfection package

[@lisasoul665]

Grimes its Amazing women

[@UltraBound]

helga pataki

[@Graid]

That awkward moment when people take your comment the opposite way you meant it. I wasn't trying to insult women in the music industry or suggest there's not loads of women who do enjoy making music just for themselves. More, I just realised it's rarer than it should be for a woman to be shown like this in music videos and so on- as just making music for herself. I think women are boxed into more limited roles in terms of the 'images' they get to show as performers and I welcome change in that.

[@johnsonbrereton]

I like your sleeves

[@garythompson3130]

I need the same amount of adder all

[@danka18]

Fuck!! I just got to another dimension!!!

[@Adridharma1]

first time i see her giving a concert without looking stoned :p

[@bettysmith6903]

Just the background track, considering she couldn't naturally, or easily, play everything that's mixed together, all at the same time. If that made any sense. Everything is live, aside from the background track, and it just repeats itself, basically, throughout the entire song.

[@darsoulr]

I really do want to be truly in love with the singer.....this artist....stolen lyrics and knocks aside....choice.....and well my soul the power behind the words...in part.....loves her as she has blessed them with her voice.....now back to basements and Kleenex and lotion jokes....or candy cane painted shotguns cleaning prepareinf weapons....or sharing the love of someone with someone ancat curled up with me some thins guy who enjoys hairy guys and acting femine while I do most of the cleaning lol......

[@darsoulr]

Couch cuddleing KZbin up on a big flat screen a work area in the living room I manage to let be gotten away with the smell of gay sex rofting thru the room fully clothed discussing whether we should go to a show.........god my imagination sucks it paints the whole damned thing based on my measurements of probability and profiling.......

[@drofydoc]

oh f^ck magical! like for real she makes me feel magical, but i was totally trying to see her eyes to see if see was on something cause i was
