All these and a combination of pre-made clips as well as clips made on-the-fly make up the accompaniment, with the clips triggered, duplicated, sliced and looped live with Ableton Push 2.

I gave my brain a solid workout for a couple of days, taking the original production project from Arrange to Session mode in Ableton, then another week of fun but intense rehearsals (broken up with the occasional game of Tetris!) preparing for the live shoot.

I grouped some effects for the master channel, which are MIDI-mapped to the Akai LPD8, and for the lead vocal I use three sends - two ping-pong delays and a reverb - which are also mapped to the LPD8, so I can apply the effects easily throughout the performance. I use only Ableton effects for my live performances as a lot of other third party plugins I've tried tend to cause latency.

My favourite effect is the Max for Live tapped delay, combined with a reverb and gain to build a climax before the final drop, but I also loved mapping the Max for Live pitch drop - it's super clever as you can activate a pitch drop but it still keeps everything running in time. "With the Arturia Minilab on my right I'm playing a sample I made from my vocal and also triggering the 'paper tiger' spoken sample, which is set to zero quantisation so it plays whenever you hit it, like a drum pad.

For the vocals I'm using a Shure SM7B mic, which is great for dynamics and also avoiding spill from my headphones (which are Studiospares M1000s).

Hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed making it! :)

Paper tiger is the best song I've heard in recent years. I push the song in Berlin, in every bar. The response, is mostly positive. I love this song. It is a shame that such a song is not published. You are an outstanding artist, that video to the song is really beautiful. I want more of such beautiful songs from you. You have the talent and the look that song needs to be in 1st place in every country. Please excuse my bad English. I wish you the success you deserve and I hope you become a great star.

In my opinion still the better version. The vocals much clearer and natural than in the spotify single version.
I heared it a hundred times and still can‘t get enough,
It‘s in my all time personal „Hall of Fame“! 😊😌👍🏻

Incredible. Your intuitive comprehension of harmony, melody, bass and voice is really moving. It's true and pure musical art. The words are incidental, and more of a metronome, but the total feeling of this song is phenomenal. Sort of like a sculptor unveiling a work of beauty from a piece of stone, only your piece of stone is your sonic imagination and your sculpting tools are your keyboards, loops, effects, sequencing and your amazing voice. Your visual looks and movements add to the beauty of this musical creation. It also has some semblance of a healing vibe too. Notice how so many people here are moved by your music. That's saying something. I'm a long time musician so you can take this to the bank, the bank of sincere musical interpretation.

It's so refreshing to discover an artist making original music with Ableton and utilising controllers to perform it Live. It's something I've been into for years but never got round to actually performing my compositions. It's quite clear how much you've progressed since I watched a performance from 2015 before this one. I always end up just making music without any consideration for the performance aspects. It would help to develop my keyboard and vocal skills. I admire the passion you have for your music and the effort you've applied to truly make something of your ideas. Praise is also due to the camera guy, great video. Really, it's been very inspiring coming across your videos today...certainly made up for the pretty light shows I came across after searching "Novation Launchpad" - what is that all about? I do have one small question...I've never used Push before, but I see it has many capabilities, so why do you still need the APC and mini controller? I guess if Push was doing everything you'd have to switch modes/menus/pages for different parameter control/clip settings/Instruments etc, which would possibly require an few more pairs of hands? Really well performed, and a great song!

OMG you are sooo talented!!! I enjoyed meeting you at Guitar Center helping you with your power adapter.

OMG. YOUR AMAZING!
So I went and picked up an APC 40mkII today and when I got home I was looking for videos and came across your channel.
I just gotta say that was the best hour of my day spent.
Lookin forward to more.
