It's been 7 years and these guys are legends now. Crazy.

the look on their face when they play looks like me when i play for my dad.

They should really do another Tedx about the produtcion side of electronic music. I feel it would be a lot more interesting and they have improved a lot since 2010

It's great to see Noisia getting involved in TED - a combination of 2 of my favourite things.

this is so fucking awkward, my friend put it that it's like they're telling their parents what they do

Oh my god! Computers are so amazing! They can do so many fun things! I didn't know that! I might consider getting myself one of those! Yey!

lol its gotta be so weird playing high energy music to a low energy audience... they both look like they're cringing the whole time haha

Thank you guys! It's 2021, at this year you finish Noisia project, it was amazing ~20 years. And yeah, nowadays digital created "laptop music" is normal without orchestra, but you are still absolute legends! Im 24, but my future kid will know, you were the Beatles of 21 century.

I loved the reaction and the presenter,it seems like they're kinda open minded. Awesome!

Didn't know these guys did a Ted Talk. So much respect for them.

I've been a noisia fan for years and clearly these guys aren't pro public speakers but their music speaks for itself. simply phenomenal

they should have actually broke out the DAW and showed them vst's and explained HOW the inner workings of digital synthesis have changed how music will be made forever.

probably were invited on short notice and didnt had the time to prepare, otherwise theres no explanation as to why this is so poor

AHAHa imagine if you showed people the Exodus video in the 18th century.

The video they showed was sick!

2:26 sounds like one of my mixes

I saw them live in a small club last saturday , Freaking awesome

My take on the 3 years to make a song is that it's a project. It might take three years from the first development or rough draft of the song until it is completely finished. Doesn't mean they work on just this. They probably did more things during the making of this, but we don't know that. Who knows (:

And we are noisia army ~~~

exodus is quite something and the drum & bass in it really hits the magic spot, but than again it`s not just drum & bass

I really like these guys, so it pains me to say this, but I think they really missed the boat on their presentation here. This would have been a great platform to share some of their in-studio techniques, or perhaps give some structure to their process. When the host asks, "so you put that in your computer and play with it," I thought, "man, that's the part I'm interested in!" Tell us about waveforms, or sidechain, or what your routine is, you know? You're talking to an audience of designers and engineers. They want to see the guts of what you do, not be dazzled by examples of it. Sorry, that got angsty.... I'm gonna go listen to I Am Legion and calm down.

This didn't explain electronic music what so ever lol

heck yeah - EXODUS - Noisia & Mayhem ft. KRS One - damn that track is hot

When I saw TED and NOISIA in the same tittle, I was like what? That's so dope =)

That piece with the track and video was awesome. I especially liked what was said at the end about electronic music and sampling being a craft in itself, not to say it's better or worse but the effort in creating something totally different.

NOISIA people want to know a little bit about HOW you approach audio, what instruments, DAW's, the smell of the space you were in when making it, what inspired the project and where you see yourselves when making music in 20 years. Really like how you sound but i agree with the sentiment that you could have "upped your game" with this presentation. Hopefully your next one kicks as much ass as your master channel!

why they been so shy there? they fucking genius

Oh god that ending, Noisia is great!

Yeah okay, you can remove "An inside on" from the title now, thanks.

yay

It sucks that they didn't talk at all about the process they use to make the music, it's really a ton more than just "messing around" and I think that their approach to production is very unique.

These guys seem pretty intelligent and a decent example of what electronic music makers are like and what potential there is in making electronic music. That sort of "Inside" on what potential the career has and its value. Making some good production? Throw some electronic music in there, because it's composing music and they put their hearts into composing whether instrumental players or not. Reasonable. But I don't know if it's like TEDx worthy I feel they got to present this on a dime for promotional reasons.

Snore. This is just a show n tell, with more show and less tell.

what was the point of this video?

yay!

You cant be best at everything from the first time. Waiting for their TED in 2014 'Things you can make live with electronic music'.

Long live Noisia

Imagine the Collaboration between Noisia and Linkin Park :D Noisia next time try to make time for these sorts of conferences..

"Has alot of magic" you're damn right it does

I think what's wrong with electronic music is the unfortunate way a lot of people show it off, and I"m very guilty of this myself and struggle with it---- I have this idea in my head of dancing like crazy when I play my music, but i do the exact same thing as these professionals do for a room of people.

Oh wow TED talks does talks on music. SICK

that.... was... epic...

agreed...aren't there festivals or conferences with instruction for people interested in production techniques from the pros or artists?

they had 10 minutes basically, how far into it did you expect them to get?

awsome camera sound.....or its like they(not noisia) just lined one top speakers mixed with the room mic sound..

Noisia on TED? Holy shit :O

'yay'

Please, what's the name of the second song?

It's from the new Devil May Cry if I'm not mistaken, check their soundcloud page for more info.

YEY!

Don't hate on them, this isn't really what they're not meant to do

Yay

Did they ever end up releasing the song at 4:30? Shazam isn't picking shit up.

FAKIN AWESOME MUSIC VID!!!!

"Yay."

Their being fucking awesome is a sign of their success. It has fuck all to do with Robbie Williams asking them for a remix or any lame advertisements.

lol are you making the human voice on the computer

These guys are fucken awesome.

what is track first track on 2:13 and is that from noisia

The minute they played the first sample clip, I knew they were gonna bust out Exodus :)

I love Noisia, but just be yourself. Create your own sound and take as long as you need to perfect it.

Anybody have any ideea what the song at 4 minutes in is from?

what was the pop song called??

I think it would be enough if Noisia easily played Stigma or Shellshock. The folks would be impressed enough and knows what's up

You can tell Martijn majored in public speaking lololol

WHAAAT Noisia was on it?!

Does the song they play at 04:00 (the orchestral one) have a name and is it on KZfaq?

What's up with the "yay"...

Cool

Yes, Noisia could have gotten into more technical aspects of their work, but they didn't. It's a little disappointing. For instance, why did the track take 3 years of work? They didn't explain that vital fact.

Yeah.....as a Noisia fan it was kind of painful. Where's the friggin passion? I think they should have discussed vast possibilities of electronic music, maybe with a simple demo of sound design....something. Their talk was so damn pedestrian.

U Right...

Crazy they broke up.

For sanity sake 5:42 anyone know the name of the song?.

what was this about?

@7:03 "it also features KRS-1... I'll put it on for you"...

Oh lordy lordy Anyone know the name of the song at 3:55 to 5:00

Well this is more for the public that arent really that aware of this.. "old and stiff" people.. there are alot of different masterclasses though if you want to learn that stuff from other people.

4:00 song name?

And then what? The only instrument is a play button..a lot of EDM producers enjoy the ego feeding of you wanting to know how they manage to sound so amazing but they are not sounding amazing its just you are forced to fit into that framework of sound..this is reason why I see a bunch of dudes in the comment section screaming "dope" "banging" "I love my sub woofer" "sick bass" and so on.. Let me tell you..Djs and bands wanted to use a more rough sound and tense melodies, they never stopped on one simple beat and started layering along with sampling. They incorporated different sounds and noises, genres and styles and the final product was always electric and amazing! You couldn’t call this music simply electronica, because it was a mix of so many things, which I think makes electronica a mix of different products. A lot of the bands that are the best examples of 90s electronic music are not alike at all.. The Prodigy, Underworld, The Chemical Brothers, Boards of Canada, Bjork, Muslimgauze, Fatboy Slim, Massive Attack, which is actually trip-hop, but I included them anyways, because what the trip-hop musicians play today is total bullshit, it’s just a cheap, “underground” remake of todays’ EDM. These musicians created radically different sounds from everything everyone had ever heard. The reason these musicians were so successful and so diverse is simple they knew how to play music. At that time, a computer wasn’t enough for all the sounds you needed, so you had to use actual vocals, actual drums and actual guitar. Even if you didn’t have real drums, they used drum machines, and the sound of the drum machine is totally different from the sample drum sounds in the computer. Some might say that electronica has evolved along with technology and that’s the reason people have given up on real instruments and it’s part of growing up. Come on! Just because you have evolved doesn’t mean that you have to forget about the good things the past has.

not much information about electronic music. First example track did not sound very good for this occasion

NOISIA rulz

How's the last track called?

1:50 nick: 'hij doet het niet!' hahaha :D

Holy Schnikes

4:00??? plx

80% showing off their music 20% generic talk about electronic music that almost any other electronic music producer could have said too. I love Noisia but this was a pretty bad presentation.

@5:40 what's the song? Id anyone?

song name @ 3:55?

I love Noisia and love TED, but this was a very bad TED....had very little to no information that everyone doesn't know. Would love more information on sampling, the evolution of EDM and how its not as easy as everyone thinks. Disappointing :/

for evolution of EDM you should watch Pump the volume - the history of house its 2 hours long but it explain how house was made and how it evolved into acid house, techno, drumnbass etc

Redbull music academy?

wow... this was.. informative?

NOISIA are gods, but i dont understand the point of this TED talk

hashtag TEDaudioEngineers :/

this is really superficial talk what a disappointment and TED???

Machine gun?

i really resent how much he says can be done in a laptop, yes you can record full orchestral parts in a laptop, but unless you plan on editing them in ways to sound deliberately artificial, they're just going to sound cheap. this really separates out the good Hollywood music producers from the bad. Even pure electronic music tends to sound less tacky and glossy if its created in 'out the box' ways

The concept of musical clip is simply about destruction.

Hij doet t niet!
