In Real Time Beatbox-vocal Composition : Brandon (aka Box Of Beats) Martinez : Tedxsandiego

From humble beginnings to environment-filling vocals, Box Of Beats takes you on an auditory journey through the art of sound. Using a loop station, his voice, and a synthesizer, he begins with one simple sound and builds one layer at a time into full musical compositions, live on stage in real time—an extraordinary auditory experience. Box of Beats is a one-of-a-kind recording artist, songwriter and live performer from Los Angeles, CA. He creates musical compositions live on stage using nothing but his mouth, his voice, a synthesizer, and a loop station. His live show consists of moving auditory experiences that start as one single sound, then layers more sounds into large music compositions right before your eyes. All elements of a song—bass, melodies, percussion—being composed live on stage. With his extensive history in vocal percussion, he uses his mouth to incorporate live sounding instruments such as drums, trumpets, and violins. He has independently landed placement deals with Netflix for his original music, and is pioneering for the acapela community trying to bring it into the mainstream market. Box of Beats' new album is set to release in early 2022. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
