He’s a living example of creativity = 10% inspiration + 90% perspiration. A wonderful chap and musician. Saw him at Forward Fest with Aphex Twin last weekend here in Bristol U.K.
He sure is! I saw them both at Field Day last month! Such a crazy day. AFX at forward was mental too! I do prefer Simons older albums though. His housey vibes since Migration are not my cup of tea.
Ever since I heard "Flutter" and "Pick Up" playing SSX: On Tour during winter break in 2005, this guy has been the artist I share with everyone I know. It's cool to finally see how the magic happens.
Man that brings back great memories, a time when there was no smartphone or streaming services, I listened to this album on repeat on my USB MP3 player and Bonobo sounded very impressive, detailed, unique and new to me back then.
There's huge inspiration from Arthur Verocai's 'Sylvia' track opening. He states that he would typically sample, but was moving away from doing so with new recordings. The different parts make an amazing, different whole. Bajkas lines and vocals elevate it, right up there, in the clouds.
I've been looking for something like this for years! This is so cool... just the inspiration I needed. Here I was thinking that this album was all random jazz and world music samples... he did all these parts in the studio! That is epic. I don't know how he does it. He's one of the few artists that I can just listen to endlessly and I never get tired of it.
Thank you so much for posting this! Theres another old video of Bonobo demonstrating how he composed the track "Kiara" - its online ,albiet low quality, but I still watch it often to catch a bit of inspiration. I'm just a huge fan of Bonobo's work.
I have loved his music for so many years! Finally saw him live last year in Bristol (Aphex Twin was the other reason why I went there). He’s a brilliant guy.
Thank you so much for uploading this. Simon is a major inspiration to me and it was great to peer into his mind. I would love to see his creative process now.
around 11:30 he takes off the top of a wurli and shows the crazy stereo sounds you can get out of micing the top. effortless musical genius, what an ear for delightful sounds.
I was hoping he'd explain how he came up with that "squeaking" sound at 16:50. Probably rubbed finger on a window or asked one of the string players to hit something like a harmonic and map it. Alas we'll never know!
This man is the reason I still want to be a great producer.

I get back pain just from watching Simon's back. Hope he has a more ergonomic chair and studio now :D

This is gold!

haha yeah bro! thats how i came across him too!
same! since then his many albums kind of became like a soundtrack to my life, growing up and going through different phases.
Yeesssss! That how I got into Bonobo as well!
it's incredible how much more interested in music these producers are than I am. it really explains a lot to me.

Getting to know how this track was made after listing to it for so many years now... Its just something. :)
genius... I saw this like 15 years ago and was unforgettable. thanks for the upload

Yeah, that surprised me as well. Very well thought out and some great studio work. Those strings ;)
Very well said, I thought the same! This is so awesome
It's interesting how much TL Audio gear was about then but hardly anybody uses it now. Talented guy.
Yeah, he is a genius indeed, he understand very well the tribal music and mixing them very nicely. God bless him!

Hey, can't seem to find the video you're talking about, could you send me a link please ? :)
Yeah I remember seeing that years ago but have never found it again. I remember he uses the iPhone app Bebot for one part 👍

Thanks I've been waiting years for someone to re-upload this.
love this album and his older stuff too 👌🏻
Mans a genius, this is so awesome
This makes me so happy, one of my favorite albums, and favorite artists. Thank u for finding this
Thank you for sharing this! This is one of my favorites by Bonobo and I always wanted to see how he made it
Thanks for sharing, this is pure gold!
Awesome. Didn’t know this existed
Quality synths and instruments for quality music
So much gratitude for these amazing insight on one of my favourite tracks
and amazing production tips too
Phenomenal 🌞
my man simon takin the wurli apart for us :)))
Wow, didn’t expect to find something new from Bonobo in TH-cam, even though the record is more than a decade old I guess 😅
2006
Had the exact same thought. And its about his older stuff whichis the best by far.
Its right there man.... Future Music Issues 181 November 2006"" Open yr eyes buddy lol
Che sho tampoco
@@JM-yu8sb I saw it today in my TH-cam Music library xD
Absolute Fantastic 👍
thank you for this.

Finally know how to pronounce "Bajka"
I love bonobo, i also find it funny that this was released a month after i was born
Shit man, awesome! I have t-shirts older than you.. But you have epic taste..
Thanks dude🤘
makes some great music...
Thanks a lot for this video !
Love from Poland
Given his talent and success I expected him to have a bigger studio , it looks like a council flat, ah just checked this is from 2006
Thanks bud
YW, found the dvd in my stuff and saw it wasn't online, which off course it should be ;)
@@Dsil303 Please put more stuff, if you have, online
@@footytv1203 I don't think there is more, its a Futuremusic magazine dvd. If i stumble upon another, I'll upload it ;)
@@Dsil303 There is a low key gem of him explaining Kiara. Its on some other website that allows copyright I guess
I lost the links for it :(((( but may friend may have recorded it.
wow
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing musician, horrendous posture when he’s sitting down though lol, hope he’s sorted his back and shoulders out now
Trust me he hasn’t lmao
The screen recording is so 2000s haha
The" zero dB " remix is off the chain
I miss Logic Pro 9 (if it is the version I see correctly). Great tutorial.
Still branded as Emagic. Probably Logic 5. Last Emagic version was 5.5.1 before Apple took over.
Its logic 6 hes using
@@AlexZelaMusic Logic 6 was not branded Emagic though. Check the logo on the EQ at 24:24.
@@bosonbreeder Logic 6 was emagic, look it up
@@AlexZelaMusic Sorry mate. You're absolutely right. As a long-time Logic user my memory failed me.
Posture of a bonobo
Here, he definitely looks like someone who has spent far too much time in a small, dark room, staring at a screen!
Gollum gollum
w.o.w.
Reminds me of lucious Lippy
@12:48 Sounds like something from the early SimCity games :D
Simon gets out his screwdriver!
I was hoping he'd explain how he came up with that "squeaking" sound at 16:50.
Probably rubbed finger on a window or asked one of the string players to hit something like a harmonic and map it. Alas we'll never know!
That is not a secret, it's an instrument common in Brazillian music called Cuica - the lions cry, check it out!
with the rubbing you were on the right route! i am sure it was part of the percussion sample he used.
2004 maybe? Trying to guess the year.
It says 2006 in the video description! LOL!
i didnt get something? the drums are a sample?
Yep, they are =)
Treat that room and get some guitar racks, dude.
yes that would really help his career
