There is so much good about this... how one man can make so much sound, the beautiful violin technique, the seagulls and red buses through the windows. I also find myself appreciating his sock choice. "Hmmm, I might want to take that shoe off for fine toe control... better make sure my socks match."

So much beauty in this music and mind blowing 🤯 every time I get to see him on KZfaq doing this solo looping and creating a song. Pure talent that I couldn’t handle meeting this man I’d geek out.

Seeing and listening to an artist like Andrew Bird should help anyone understand why it is impossibly frustrating to hear people claim that Acts like Kanye West are "genius" or even good? This man makes Prince seem amateurish.

It's not a sculpture, it's a type of speaker that he uses to play with the Doppler effect of sounds he has playing from it. He adjusts the speed of rotation, which gives the music a surging type of feeling.
