A wonderful, rare example on how you can melt into your instrument. He is one with his guitar ❤️. Even his breathing is music ❤️ Pure expression, pure art, pure contemporary virtuosism
Outstanding performance, valid original music played in a unique, personal way. Pure genius. Bravo Paolo Angeli.And Bravo NRP for showing this exceptional talent to the world.
Not for everyone.. But, i love it. What an innovative, creative and talented man! You can tell he feels deeply and expresses it through his craft. Perhaps a simple guitar was not enough for him to share his thoughts, so he created his own instrument. He is a beautiful person, indeed.
This is amazing and beautiful, but for some reason I completely lost it when he started smacking that dang spring around at the bottom of the guitar. Check 27:09 its this intense, atmospheric feeling, and suddenly "SMASH" and then seconds later "BOOOONNNGGGG".
Great music! All the technology in the world, just like all the technique in the world, will not create beautiful music by itself. I don't care if it takes a petaflop processor or a bowl of water to make the music I love. So long as the instrument is in the service of beauty, in all it's subjective forms, that's what matters. And as someone who takes pride in being an unconventional guitarist, holy hell, am I a slacker compared to Mr. Angeli.
he is guitar contra bass and all together.what a sound. he's from heaven. what a great look that instrument. someparts of that guitar moves like it is a train. wow
A very unique take on the one man band concept. Not for everyone that's for sure. Taking him 12 years to upgrade the design to this state does him justice. He must have made a lot of searching to come up with all this.
Holy cow I didn’t realise he was playing the mechanical hammers with his feet, I thought that was automated! I’m sure my brain can be pretty busy, but this guy’s focus and commitment is phenomenal. Mind blowing. Thank you.
So, not only is he an amazing musician, but an engineer, literally fricking crafting his own instrument O_o... Dang.
more: he has a degree in musicology and he is an ethnomusicologist
seeing paolo live and having a chat with him is a nice memory that i'll hold dear
Just when you thought you'd seen it all, you get blown away again. Fantastic. What an instrument.
That's arobot and a guy copying Tim Reynolds
Grande paolooooooooo!
So captivating. Is anyone else's heart beating a little bit faster just listening to this??
Ecco un altro extraterrestre ITALIANO fra noi! Incredibile. Grazie

What an instrument! And such mastery! Truly a master of his art.
An acoustic Plini with an extra ingenuity and craftsmanship....proud to be italian!
Not for everyone.. But, i love it.

I was not expecting this. Now this is all I'll expect.
How is this not more popular
A man after my own heart, truly though as a noise-punk musician and noisemaker his instrument is my idea of heaven
God yes, you're supposed to feel heavenly when a miraculous musician pulls at your heart and soul. Loved it! Thank you kindly.
I love finding someone who's both technically talented but has a love for weirdness/noise.
He already exists. Search for "Fred Frith" on TH-cam 😉
You're welcome
wasn't sure how to take this initially, but was warmed up to it considerably by the end of the 1st piece. very nice...
I thin I just found one of my new favorite artists... just simply amazing. Literally just put me in a trance the second I started listening.
A skilled and fascinating musician playing a fabulously interesting instrument.
This guy's a true original.. very musical and as eccentric as it gets.. very enjoyable
mother of god, the talent
Great music!

au contraire! bad music (for me) but a crazy instrument
Gourgeous work... Thanks

Holy cow what an awesome instrument!
Beats anything I have ever seen, or heard. And reminds me of Barcelona.

His textural pallet is mind blowing!
This is one of the most creative musical things I've ever seen. I need a guitar like that!
Really awesome. And inspiring!! Thank you!
This guy has won life.....
What really wonder me is... How did he managed to pass this instrument through the airport's security?
:)))
Extreme fretting!!
He told them it was made by Trump and the composition was mske America Great
@@robford3211 that was so funny I forgot to laugh
Like they pass any other instrument to the airport. The X-ray machine!
Yes!
Now that you've really opened the box, you have to get Fred Frith...!
What an amazing mucian ❤
That was so analogue. Awesome.
this blew every facet of my mind
Mind blowing stuff

BEAUTIFUL!
Brilliant & Stunning!💋
I've never seen a guitar used in this way... Love the extended techniques
Extraordinary
This is the Man❤
Wow! Why didn´t i think of this... The Frankenstein of guitars! True genius this man...
Amazing!
Holy shit. These sounds are the work of one guy? Damn

Mind blowing. Thank you.
Tom Waits vibes in the second piece. 😀

Exactly! The same dynamics and sense of dramatic repetition.
beautiful
Alucinante!
Interviewer : any favourite instrument?
Paolo: Yes: ALL

That instrument isn't a gimmick at all. Obviously. Incredibly beautiful music.
Joey Barton really is a versatile player!
Very creative! Nice Steampunk kinda instrument!
