Kiasmos - Bent (Live on KEXP)

[@bigburt82]

It's a masterpiece.

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

12:51 you can see his hands trembling. Probably so full of emotion and adrenaline. What a brilliant performance!

[@JoseRG619]

That means passion and love for music.

[@Knacky59]

The synth layers before the ending climax are absolute perfection. I'm totally gobsmacked by such sensitivity, musicality. This is a taste of heaven, guys ! That masterpiece should be shared all over the world !

[@robkobyalov3291]

I remember reading a quote from Olafur that it became somewhat boring making house music, and I get that in comparison to the more subtle palette of his other work. But there is an incredible power in how crossover Kiasmos is - the soul and emotion in this, the shifts in mood during this epic track ... it's like being hugged while you dance and swoon all at the same time. Of all the Kiasmos songs, 'Bent' has this phenomenal edge with the heaviness of the beats, the distortion on the synth sound and the elegance of the piano riff. It feels like everything in being alive all comes together in that mix.

[@exorientelux7200]

My favourite version of Bent

[@bigburt82]

Those who know this track well will know that there is so much improv, remixing and adjustments live on the fly here. It's technical genius how they crafted this and I love to see how much they enjoyed performing it!

[@markbell9973]

"masterpiece" Who can disagree?

I can't agree more with you. That's exactly my thoughts, too. We have two genius here fully enjoying their amazing art. Look at them ! They're totally possessed by their music, and so am I ! I'm just sad about one thing : i discovered this masterpiece only 2 months ago. Shame on me !

Authentic sleeping pill. You don't want it to ever finish! An explosion of emotions in one single track. Thare's nothing much to say after you listen to a masterpiece like this.

[@Stampwousje]

This Track Will Live Forever. Timeless.

[@dver89]

One of my favorite electronic pieces ever

[@bergzoid1]

This is incredibly intense. I used to say that djs aren't real musicians but over the years I learnt to appreciate pieces of art like this and shit, there is a lot of passion and feelings on what these guys are doing. Thank you Kiasmos (and all the other amazing producers) for changing my mind

[@notBradYourself]

This is moreso sound composition/sound engineering than it is DJing, but I agree - both are extremely skilled practices on the higher end of things

[@ignasisellartcombalia2259]

Man is not a dj, is fkn olafur

[@hallocine]

It's because it's not DJing at all... People have to understand that electronic music can be real music with a lot of instruments.

[@AeonSaturnal]

[@jeffakoima9529]

they says djs arn't real people. unless its Olafur Arnolds. Also how is that djing??????

[@soutrikbiswas15]

This here is a transformative piece of music

Are you guys talking about the Paris one?

[@Lenosito]

I'm listening now after that 2016 performance, but really they're amazing every time. My favourite performance of this will always be witnessing it live in 2015, at 4 in the morning, the last song of the whole festival while high on molly.

[@JimmyJohns-u5l]

I always come back to this. How has this masterpiece not been viewed millions of times. Criminally underated

[@JumboBass]

This masterpiece helped me through one of the hardest times in my life! Thank you, Kiasmos!

[@ElvisBangalter]

mine hard times as well, with Looped and Lit. universal healing power of music. hope you are doing better man!

[@kaikdj]

This track is very good. The live version is epic and last 30 seconds you killed the time in space. It works like clockwork - I hear the end and my body is shaking in that powerful energy. Nice and strong. Hmmmm....

[@KalElKent1501]

Electro masterpiece!! Come and do a set in Switzerland please!!!!

[@philiplevins6702]

wow...amazing...who says electronica lacks soul?....this touches my core...epic x

[@JMAdams-ew9yt]

Yes

[@musicfreak8550]

Indeed. Always gives me cold shivers with a warm twist. An amazing track. Maybe try this... First heard about 9 months ago and think it deserves more recognition. m.kzbin.info/door/nIBRfSLBI32Y3ru56tndHA

[@mzervy]

Full body tingles every single time.

[@mariosonnessa]

Best electronic music song ever heard and ever produced !!!!

[@ferrymezzei7181]

vybruje mi uvnitř tělo. hudba je je úžasná, je to jak poslouchat ze vzdálené galaxie ale zní a hraje to že země.

[@kaikdj]

Jéeee, taky tak..:)

[@annoghera1083]

This must be the best live performance i have ever heard, absolutely mental !!

The build-up of the Intro sounds like a whale calling as it passes you by. A whale calling out, falling from space

[@elisavieira737]

Aiiiiiiiiii caramba

[@utopic576]

Insane

[@Thundergod213]

They should make a visualitazion or a certain short movie with two people not speaking or a build up too something. this is soo good! (Like two lovers who are searching for eachother, and a tension when they meet eachother, or in a slowmotion move too eachother).

[@niclast7600]

Was hoping for more new stuff or more songs from the Album Blurred. Still good stuff :).

[@quietmanable]

Super...

WWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW !

[@ClubSoundsForever]

Wow..

[@francescomilloni]

Oh... my.... god.... the jam after the formal "arrangement" was so intense ... it moved me. Guys, you can't stop this project, please, we need more intense emotions like that! On the technical side, that monster bass in Bent is from a bass station???!!! omg..!

[@AlwaresHUN]

I'm not sure... The BS is capable of this, but Oli mostly use it in the shows as a midi controller.

[@taunado]

Anyone know how to produce this sound with VSTs?

There ain't a specfic genre that has Kiasmos sound, they make experimental electronic music with some organic melodic techno vibes

[@uzulim9234]

This song is one of my guilty pleasures. It's essentially a sad hipster EDM. I think the whole concept is actually cheesy as hell but I can't help but be convinced and moved by it!!

[@frottery]

Hey, nice $3,000 Juno-60. I guess it's more impressive looking than if you came out with 2 iphones and did 100% of this same sound, because most, if not all, of it is coming out of that $125 Novation Launch Control.

[@frottery]

lmao - my favorite part is when the strings sample is happening at the rousing finale and he's frantically doing that bullshit "i'm reaching for knobs but not actually moving them" like he's playing the notes.
