Get to Know Kutiman's Fascinating Innovations

from Soulbounce.com

Ophir Kutiel, widely known as Kutiman, has upped the ante once again with his virtual arranging and composing. The Israeli musician/composer/producer/YouTube conductor brings us a new installment of his Thru-You series, where he combines music footage found on YouTube and finds the perfect moment in each video that has the right chord, sound, and/or note to sample and loop to fit with pieces from other videos. In his most recent project, his "My Favorite Color" video, Kutiman blends a founding piano riff, French horns, a saxophone, a triangle, cellos, various drum beats, and other instruments (the complete list can be viewed here). For the vocals, he chooses a video of a young girl singing an original song in her bedroom to lay atop it all. The end result is a melting pot of musical genius. Through the massive following that Kutiman has built for himself, he takes some great musical talent out of virtual obscurity and puts them into the viral forefront. Hopefully his Thru-You project will keep producing more of these fascinating and innovative creations.
