Watch a Stranger Make Music and Then You Do it - Ben Levin

Make some music!

[giannisxrisostomakis]

Me at the beginning, when I heard the first melody " This is it, Ben has finally lost it"
Me listening to the end product " Ben you son of a gun, you did it again"

I like how you included the dry vocals. If I made this video, frankly, I would've been too embarrassed to put that in there, but how you incorporated it into the song was really great. That was probably the most inspiring part of the video for me.

“I’ve been practicing singing with various screams and stuff...” haha only you, Ben. I love it.

There is a south indian percussion instrument called chenda which would be perfect for this track.
It has a sharp tone rather than the round tone of the snare.

Holy shit this is a wierd Track ;D I saw you with Bent Knee in Hamburg couple days ago. Great show I had goosebumps all over my body thank you!

"So, I didn't end up doing anything that strange with the sample, " said Ben Levin.

[J.Millhouse]

I don't know why but every time I see your name I read it as "Dr. Ben Levin". You're just so professorial my dude

[dyce]

glad you played that song from the music from sine waves video. that song has been stuck in my head since I watched that video!

[VectressWasHere]

this is basically a soft organic sophie song

[jonbanjovi]

now we have to, because it said so in the title. click click new project.

[ShortMan_]

The bell and kick sounds have a cool Balinese gamelan vibe to them

[caydilemma]

Thank you for basically making the Iglooghost tutorial we all wanted. Does anyone know what Reaper skin he uses if any? It might make Reaper actually usable for me lol.

[rhandhom]

Your videos keep getting better and better.

[TheSubzeto]

Fry screams would be sick on this style of groove.

[TheDoooden]

I immediately wanted to do a drum and base track with that sample 😏

[tabaco]

hi ben, i love your videos and i love reaper <3. i have a question, do you have a method or something to compose lead vocals for your beats? i always enjoy them :D.
PD: i notice you only colour the name of your tracks in reaper. there's a way to colour the backround of the tracks going to Options>Preferences>Track Control Panels, and click the option "Tint track panel backround"


love from argentina <3

Hey Ben. This is really cool, but I always wonder with these how long it takes to do? I try stuff like this, but often get frustrated about 40 minutes in when it's not turning out. That obviously comes with practice, but with the edited format it's also hard to tell if folks on YouTube are having those same issues. Thanks!

[Guyster]

It does end up sound inspired by iglooghost though!

Could you please tell me which softwares you use (for producing the music, not for the videos)
I really appreciate your work, both as a musician as an animator, i adore your style.
Btw I own a MIDI keyboard, which, I guess, it's basically vital, right?
