- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. An inventor of electronic instruments and a DJ, Tim Exile recorded sounds from the data centres of the Large Hadron Collider and mixed them with the sound of the audience at TEDxCERN to create a unique audio track. His performance brought the audience dancing onstage.
Tim Exile composes, improvises, and produces electronic music. He also invents and makes the electronic musical instruments. A violinist as a child, his life changed when he first heard house music. Ever since, he has been experimenting and exploring the world of sound with bootleg rave tapes, Djing, programming, drum and bass, before moving onto polished studio productions and creating instruments. Exile has a degree in philosophy and is also an occasional hermit. He has toured the world and released software creations in collaboration with tech music leaders Native Instruments.

Idk why there is so much negativity in the comments! This guys is amazing and so talented. Sure it doesnt sound like ur normal music, but it still sounds unique and so cool in my opinion.
I always come back to this one every so often. Utterly brilliant.
I only heard of Tim Exile 10 or so minutes ago, while watching a FACT magazine performance. If you aren't into electronic music (and even if you are) you might not know this mag. They have something called against the clock, where they interview thousands of electronic music producers and show what kind of music they can produce in 10 minutes. If you aren't a musician you might not appreciate how difficult it could be to create an entirely new groove in such a short time. What is beautiful about what Tim does is that he creates new arrangements spontaneously. People that aren't into electronic music, or those that only listen to top 40ish electronic music, won't see the beauty. Which is why it is amazing that this guy was able to get even a tiny fraction of the crowd dancing. Some people wrote they probably pre-planned to dance. Ha. Obviously you have never been to a TED event. I was honored to speak at an event before (don't bother looking it up, my talk was awful), and one of the other speakers had performance similar to Tim's. It was very akward indeed, having some music that is only appreciated by a small group, and have it played to a group of people that don't know why they should appreciate it. Usually these kind of performances are very weird at TED, it is totally the wrong venue for this kind of shit. I would love to see this guy in a club/rave/party/etc , he'd kill it!
indeed
I've been a techno DJ for close to 20 years and this was truly inspiring. This clip has made me inspired and has made me excited about music in a way I haven't felt in over a decade. If it weren't for "life happening", I'd be locking myself away in the studio for the next several weeks and calling out of work a lot. Kudos, Tim Exile, and a sincere thank you.
Jared Ross you need to goto Native Instruments website and lookup the demo videos for the Mouth, Finger and a few other plugins. I'm not sure if they're actually coded by this dude but he does all the demos and it made me love making music again too! He just brings a level of fun to production that most people only really keep in their first few years of making music. Totally reminded me of what's important....having a blast and making something all your own while you do!
polarnj He "coded" it, yes. In Reaktor.
Truly brilliant! Finally an electroacoustic improvisation instrument that allows for and requires full engagement and gestures. After seeing too many composers with glowing faces, hiding behind laptops (and being one, myself) I find this video invigorating and inspirational.
Just love seeing music like these when they are made live in front of the audience. It shows how the dj/creator is really talented and knows his craft
WOW!!!! The power of vibration and personal expression unfolding in the present moment created from life. "LIFE is LOVE" great message at the end. I saw a lot of life at that TED talk. Keep sharing you in music and life!!!
TED's crowd dances more than the people in boiler room vids. who'd have thunk it
i wish i could up this 100 times
Nick Hampton Haha same here!
lmfao
lollllll
best comment I 've ever seen
I love improvised music like this. I really shows the talent, intellect and creativity. You know you have done it right when the crowd reacts like that! An amazing performance!
I got so happy watching this and then all of a sudden, Brian Cox, just sprinkling another layer of joy on top my evening.
Trance DJ and producer here, this is very refreshing after the bigroom house infused trance tracks. 10/10 would dance.
He's legend... and I don't say that very often. Truly a brilliant programmer, truly underrated.
This video is great. Even if you don't like the music, you have to admit it is pretty awesome to see how music can bring people together like this.
this was the most lit TED talk I have ever seen lol
no way reggie watts son
TED talks: BoilerRoom Sessions.
A small rave inside TedX.! This proves raving is basic human instinct..!! Awsome DJing :D
this is old school techno. not modern house. making music from a/c units, hums and other nonsensical things does take a measure of talent, not to mention he actually DJ's. Way more talent than your famous DJs Nicky, David and Robert.
Exactly, he's actually creating on the fly. I love going to a rave and just having a good time with some "DJ" whose just playing through and mixing songs together, but I would LOVE to go see this guy.
I wouldnt call this oldschool techno. Just generic electronic music, and if you want more you can say it had idm inclinations. I would love a TED talk on classic techno and such.
It's Air-conelectronica. Get it right.
bskdopeboy add much to the conversation?
RealMandraque I meant that genre boundaries are for fucking idiots. You made my point; cheers.
That said, and keeping with the stupid topic of genres; wtf is 'Generic electronic music'?
Holy Shit, that was some inspiring stuff. This guy has more talent in his little finger than the rest of the world combined. Absolutely amazing.
Seven out of 5 stars
When you can get a crowd of intellects dancing to the sounds of air-conditioner music (new category?)...
I first met Tim in 2005-2006-ish at a club in Atlanta. He liked my dancing and asked me to be a choreographer for a project he was thinking of. Sadly for me, he moved on to another project.
I'm glad to see success is still in his cards!
Vortex...
If this man does not influence you to create your own music then nothing will!
Best TED talk ever.
Think Tim did a great job and is a great performer. I'm certainly not the biggest glitch fan out there, but I can appreciate what he has done here, it what could of been a very inaccessible situation, and he got ppl up on stage, what more do you want from a dj ???
As for the sound, you have to look at it in context. When I used to be a strictly Junglist in the very early 90s Apex Twin didn't sound like music to me, now I listen to some of his sounds, and they sound mainstream, this sort of artefact sound will be mainstream too some day.
very good, good music and musical equipment, good video, encouragement with joy ..
At the LHC and no lasers for that sick rave? C'mon CERN lol
He is truly a modern day composer
and then Tim was arrested for inciting riots...
OM god. Quite brilliant. BC does get everywhere, too. Nice touch.
His sounds at the end was meant for listening not dancing. He lost the crowd because they could not anticipate the rhythmn and found it difficult to follow. Got caught up in creativity in abstract and forgot the human audience.
Good piece. i appreciate its creativity
Exile is a true artist. He knows his craft. Check out his videos for The Mouth and The Finger. He knows his tools intimately.
CERN kills it on his new release called Spirit House!!!! amazing track!!!!
I get that this is TH-cam but people hating on this is ridiculous. Awesome stuff
Really interesting how sliders are preset to sounds, in some ways the chopping and so forth reminds of the old school Transformer scratching. This was very cool. Kind of felt like the opener for a Kraftwerk show,👏👏👏👏
Nice one Tim, so different of what is usual at TED.
And CERN started to become a club. Lab/club
Uui98 tntn iu7fupi hi y 8ojuju uu I i588ii 8uuziizi477 I 88upkhm I III 77f i8 tuition 8us i
music created with sounds the LHC makes
this dude needs to collaborate with aphex twin for sureee. They can make some crazy shit
they came from the same planet
i like how all the rude comments forget to notice that he said that "this is all improvised" call it whatever you want but id like to see you come up with something that actually flows.
you know whats cool about this? this is better than most of the dj's who just press play and switch over.
My favorite TED video has been found!
this is such a joy watching this guy, beeing a dj and be able to make ppls dance to what u do...very nice job. love it.
Exile is great! Love his work on the coolest Native Instruments plugins! I've been a huge fan of his ability to be extremely experiential but not totally boring or offputting like most experimentally created work. Also got some great ideas for my MIDI controller setup from watching him work.
I liked the mysterious chanting more at the beginning tbh xD so mysterious 2:54 - 4:55
He got these people dancing! Proper. Very proper :D
Music is expression of self and of mind ur opinions dont matter because people still appreciated this.
GrizzlyAus thank u
Ive done music production and various software this guy is Sick how does he bloody do it so quick just in real control and beats and samples.
great to see people having fun..
This was the most exquisitely nerdy thing I have ever seen.
Brilliant
This is too much fun !!!
Damn, that guy is fucking genious. He makes me move , he makes me dance
so good talent, so good audition
Not a fan of this music, but honor given to the man on the controls. I can not do this if I try. As much as the music repeats a lot, as you can see, it is very complex to dominate what this guy already accomplished over the time. Respect!!
Yes you can, just record a bunch of samples shouting stuff on a cheap mic, load them into a midi controller and start stretching them, cut them, bend them with all sort of audio effects plugins, until you get something that sounds logical..then practise is the key...
This is pretty Cool :) Some good tunes right there
TED Boiler Room! Yes.
kool, freaking awesome dudes.
A M A Z I N G !
Roses are red
Violets are blue
This was awesome
And so are you
This is my favorite TED talk of all time lol
so sick!!! Madness
I loved every second of it
how awesome is that?!? they all went up
To everyone saying he is a bad DJ, you've clearly never been to a rave/festival/event. You may not enjoy the style, but you can't say he isn't good at DJing. Most DJ's out there don't do 10% of the stuff he's doing.
would love a dank vj on that mega screen pairing with the music !!
just amazing!
Awesome homie. That's like music.
Reminds me of the end to revenge of the nerds. Pure awesomesauce.
This. Is. Awesome.
he makes awesome music just from simple sounds
In 2005 I used those same BCR's and BCF's and 3-akai z-4's and one akai z-8 to make a rig because i was not excited by ableton and using a mac onstage. I use ableton to build parts and organize them for my samplers, but I still dont use a laptop onstage either.
DJ Party , rocking !
Tim u r really unique :) i love your work and your face like a kid full of happyness says all :)
This was a beautiful thing
Cern is LIT!
wow!!! IT SO fantastic
looks like so much fun!
This is fuckin unreal. I've never thought that you could do a live performance like this. Genius!
Awesome !
TEDxBOILER ROOM
One of the sickest live techno performances I've seen to date and I've been about a fair bit.
"TED STAGE INVATION,YEAH!!" FRICKIN AWSOMME 😎
Nice one Tim, thanks for Flesh and some others, keep the punters jumping up and down.
Amazing!
Damn this is so amazing!
No it isn't.
chaiTV
Oh yes it is.
Ty Pacchione yes it is

Performances like this make me want to quit making music, because I know I'll never be even 1/4 as good as Tim Exile.
Zvox Then you should definitely go back to your stamp collection.
3:30 - 3:49 it sounded like the blade runner opening theme. amazing.
Waaaoh !! Greaaat !
Exile Tim Ladies and gentlemen!
i got goosebumps! how great is that?
This is pretty dope.
KING "I chop whatever I want" EXILE.
If anyone is interested in more incredible live mixing artists, I highly suggest Beardyman. He does these kinds of shows and almost all of his samples are of him beatboxing.
Amazing.
He's very talented!
very good work
and there is always that crazy chic. LOL. Love it.
OMG! So unique live@
I loved this. :o
I've watched many Ted Talks by now but I didn't expect to see something like this...
o.O
imagine if elementary school classrooms across the world each had one of those setups. holy fuck that looks like fun
awesome!
omg lit ted talk so lit bruhhhh omg
