- You may wonder how a beatboxer and an orchestra can work together?
Acclaimed beatboxer Tom Thum and classical powerhouse Gordon Hamilton show you exactly how, as they showcase their world renowned concerto for beatbox and orchestra, Thum Prints.
Together with The Bombay Chamber Orchestra, they deliver a never before seen sneak peak into this globe trotting symphonic project. At first glance, you’d struggle to find a greater example of artistic polar opposites, yet anyone lucky enough to have witnessed this creative alliance would agree that the two compliment each other perfectly.
Executing performances with some of the worlds most renowned orchestras, such as the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Malaysian Philharmonic, Cologne’s WDR Funkhausorchester, Florida’s Imperial Symphony Orchestra, Nürnberg Symphoniker, and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra to name a few, the pair have been turning concert halls on their heads and continuing to wow audiences with this remarkable collaboration.
Simply titled, ‘Thum Prints’ this boundary pushing symphony comprises mainly of original compositions, wholly written by Tom and Gordon. Bridged by comedic interludes, it has the ability to be programmed as a full 60 minute show, or as a 20 minute concerto in a longer symphonic program. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Coming from a music teacher, what distinguishes Tom from so many other talented beatboxers is his clear understanding of musical fundamentals, music history and styles. In performance, he demonstrates a clear grasp of all of the technical elements - pitch, timbre, rhythm, etc. Combining all of that with his desire for story-telling, he produces some truly virtuosic sonic masterpieces. I have shared his original TedX video with many of my elementary music students over the years and it always makes an impact. Often those students come to tell me later how his video was one of their true inspirations to pursue music. I’ll be sharing this one, too. Thank You, Tom Thum! Keep doing what you clearly love doing!
Blah blah blah I coming from king of United States of France.
U dont know nothing about music.

Oh, definitely!!! Very well said. I teach Music at an Elementary School, too, and pretty much ALL of my students, K-5 absolutely love to try to beatbox on their own mic AND the 2013 Tom Thum TedX is also there favorite video period.... I also have an a Cappella group instead of a show choir, so my students are beatboxing aficionados. ☺️
If you like Tom Thum, you should check out MB14. He also has an established knowledge of music theory
@@dartheory4423 Thanks for the recommendation. He's quite the singer, too! I think I can begin to build a whole unit on beatboxing for my students. They'll love it!
Isn’t it amazing how musical instruments can imitate his beatbox?
Yes! 😊
yuh
that one dude in the orchestra was enjoying this alot too xD
He was so pleased to be there, I loved that
Yup, that dude right in front was me, and you're absolutely right! I had the time of my life :-D
@@AnishSharma-ro8xy hey! I would too!
I legit couldn't differentiate between Tom's trumpet and the Real one.
Crazy innit?
Get out more then,
It was so small I had to see it, otherwise I didn’t even notice it wasn’t him until later
@@einfjordbreen4239 Okay, we've been out, what next? Tom has incredible skill, why are you trying to diminish that? You act like getting out will let people see what a trumpet sounds like, yet in this video we heard them right next to each other and couldn't tell the difference.
What is your goal? Putting people down or just been a mean person in general?
@@einfjordbreen4239 ignoramus
9:49 - that moment is fantastic
all of it is
This is when I made the Stank face bc it was THAT good!
It's originally from his show on beatbox battle years ago
It was like climax of movie
Gordon’s gesture to to kick off the drop wasn’t just conducting his orchestra. Turns out over many viewings, he also has control over goosebumps.
This is a criminally underrated performance...
TomThum, the best beatboxer in the world...😍
In the Milky Way
Go check out Swissbeabox, you will find so many more amazing beatboxers
Yeah i think so too, he is so diverse
Best or at least one of the be
Tom is a great looper but beatboxing I wouldn't say he is the best. Better arguments would be Alexinho, D-low, Codfish, Zer0, Napom and I can keep going. But I agree that Tom is good if not one of the best at looping.
Whatt.....???
Such a performance without any single sound of the crowd???
I cant even close my mouth during the show...
What an amazing artist...!
@Bamidélé you couldn't have put it better than this.
It’s common sense to be as silent as possible in an orchestra. You could confuse their sense of rhythm, their notes, and their attention. A single musician out of sync could have a domino effect on the entire performance. The reason why an orchestra is deemed as the most sophisticated form of performance is because of how hard is it to make 10+ people with different backgrounds in music and style to make the sound that the conductor wants. While an orchestra is usually played by classical musicians, it doesn’t hinder beatboxers and EDM artists to join them as they’re just a different form of musician that abides by the same musical rules
While it makes sense to shout at a beatboxing or a normal concert, in a orchestra and classical music performance, you would be deemed as uneducated. That’s not to say concerts where people shout are full of uneducated people, it’s just a different environment with different etiquettes.
All of his other videos where he's by gimself are similarly quiet. I think he just catches and keeps attention so well that people are shocked
it is an Orchestra it is a proper etiquette to be silent
At TEDx it's practically impossible to get the audience involved, I've seen him doing orchestra where the audience goes wild.
the lack of promotion of Tom's post-TEDxSydney contents is killing me.
He's admitted that he struggles retaining an online presence. He does a lot of work outside the internet and then pops up every once and a while with something like this.
Like comparing that original TEDx to this, it's like two completely different people. He definitely deserves promotion but I think he just enjoys the actual physical work he does and traveling to spread what he does.
Wasn't his first Ted Talk like the most viewed out of all other Ted videos?
Still is
Still is boy! Tom Thum the GOAT!
Yeah!
I don't know how I've only just now stumbled upon this, but it feels like I just walked into a magical land full of adventures
that static disc sound is very underrated. loved tom singing as a woman
You do a Siren with some saliva on your teeth mate. Real doozey.
Wasn't expecting Ratchet Face.
It was a more than pleasant surprise.
that was sick
How is there only 242k views?!! This needs to be 24.2million views! Such talent needs to be seen all over. Time to share!
Tom 'The Voice of The Universe' Thum!
As an Indian, this makes me very happy. Tom is the best beatboxer no doubt!
Put Tom Thum in a movie!!! Ratings will explode everywhere. 🥰🤩
Tom in my opinion is undeniably a beatbox legend. I love how he incorporated ratchet face into this ensemble
Ratchet face is infuckingsane
Beatboxing was so popular that they made instruments after it, thank you Tom Thum!
Symphonic beatbox. It was a fantastic experience. Thank you Tom.
Straightforward, chills at 9:51
tbh it sounds like the moment in a action movie when they're preparing for a massive war
Evolution:
1. Big Bang
2. Amibas
3. Dinosaurs
4. Humans
5. Superhumans
6. Tom Thum
What's the dinosaurs and humans on your list
Who's Superhumans I meant to say superheroes
You're not supposed to say Superhumans
What is Tom thumb
I meant to say Tom Thum
LIKE. could you IMAGINE?! A whole MOVIE with this? Forget just an album. I want a wholeass new GENRE to listen to!!! This is literally so awesome and exciting to listen to. I had tiny tears of joy during the last couple minutes of this.
Tom Thum is not the best beat boxer... He is a living legend... ❤❤❤ love from India 🇮🇳
Why so low views on this? This is amazing
Beatboxers assemble!
Brand loyalty I love this man
This particular track of Tom helped me go through some of the toughest times of my life in 2019. I can't explain how grateful I am that the two legends came together to gift us a 2020 remake. God bless Tom.
What's the blessing gonna do? Just curious.
@@saneperson3776 its like luck but luck technically just is a synonym to blessing because if god blesses you your going to have good luck so its like a religious good luck
He was born with an incredible ear 👂 and the ability to recreate sounds he hears .....
Born? I mean sure, he is genetically gifted, perhaps, but his talent is the result of thousands of hours of practice
tom thum artwork is a world class masterpiece
This should have a lot more views, honestly
08:30 opening of rachet face. Always amazing!!
Absolutely amazing! I would loooove to go to a full concert like this
This is undescribable, I have never seen something like that before
Every 2.5 mins a wave of goosebumps.
Tom takes beatboxing to a whole different level. Really amazing!
Ratchet face remix. I'm digging it
Tom is gifted in the way of the voice. His Thum is legendary.
Tom thums ratchet face + orchestra = next level genius. Jaw dropping performance
Every Ted x with Tom is so amazing, he is truly a legend
Isn't it a performance that makes you question what music is? I love it.
I just happened to watch it and I watched it all without even realizing it
Tom Thum is a unique GENIUS!!!
🙌 HANDS DOWN AWESOME
🙃
Such a mesmerizing show. Tom has talent unlike any other beatboxer I’ve seen.
With all the smiles on everyone's faces, especially the composer. you know everyone is having soo much fun and that is what it is all about
One of the greatest beatboxers to ever exist. ⭐
Tom is brilliant and one of a kind. It's fusion of so many thing's.
Better than any Grammy intro ever. Real, true, raw talent.
This was absolutely fantastic! I used to sing in a choir with Gordon Hamilton when we were teenagers, too, which is very strange. Nice to see him being successful. And I'm always a fan of Tom Thum. They were a wonderful combination of sounds.
10:45 Tom the Loooord!!! 💥
I really like Tom because he actually creates a performance. So many other beat boxers never leave the technical aspest of it. You are awesome Tom!
Damn this was breathtakingly amazing

This is a masterpeice.
AMAZING!!
Love from India we love your performance
Every bit of song is so beautiful
Thank you for performing in India
I don't know what happened to the audience but I think they are petrified by the beauty of the beats
Just common etiquette in an orchestra hall. You're not supposed to make noise, just to avoid disturbing the orchestra. It's very difficult to have so many different musicians of different music backgrounds and skills working together, so it's very easy to distract them out of rythm, which would be a disaster.
To be fair, wouldn't you be petrified if you had heard that?
this is so underrated
This is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen so far
How have I only just seen this. Epic!!
I'm going to watch it several times so I get every moment!
this was magical
Tom Thum with another banger ! Let's go man ! Entertain us in ways only you, know how to do it
Thank you 👏👏👏🙏🙏

I'll get on top of the chair
