Yes, that's a presave link in the description, Beardyman's actually released this as a track. There's a load of more stuff, plus the final produced track, in a video over on his channel!
Cool
Sick drop for my spotify
Aaaand just like that, it's on my running playlist! You wanted a banger and you made one! :D
But we want "We flew a kite in public place.....🎼🎶".
Let's make this Christmas number 1!
Oh my god! Just discovered beardyman from this video! He’s awesome!
...and if you gaze into the beardyman, the beardyman gazes also into you
Wait a second....
Usually you pay someone to post this with their accounts, but i like your style.
The real beardyman was not in this video, not nearly enough curse words for it to be him
hi Jay!
HYPERPOP TOM SCOTT CAN'T HURT YOU
Howdy-Hey!
MC HYPERSCOTT CAN'T HURT YOU!
howdy hey, hipyo
Surprising appearance
Making Tom Scott a custom keyboard?
Beardyman: "Give me like a plossive with a fricative"
Tom: "I've been training my whole life for this moment"
Tom: "Aveolar or bilabial?"

"i will never use cos in real life"
No better person than a linguist to ask these to!
I like the fact he’s called beardyman and is completely clean shaved.
He's also Jay Foreman's brother. Get your head around that.
@@vacuumssuck26 Are you serious?🤯🤯
I mean, with such a gigachad chin, it would be a waste to hide it under a beard
@@vacuumssuck26 oh really hm
Oh, that explains a lot
If anyone's wondering why beardyman looks kind of familar, he's actually jay foreman's brother.
For real? I was wondering what was going on. I was thinking, "I've never seen Beardyman in the flesh, but I KNOW YOU."
Talented brothers. I always enjoy Map Men 8)
Say whaaaaaaaaaaaa
They sound similar too!
came here to say that!
And they have the same ability to make deep knowledge accessible through goofy absurdity
I'm living for Tom silently losing his mind in the background as Beardyman just does his thing.
yup
That was vital.
His reaction to every noise is priceless.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 I can see a Surge of synthesis puns coming from this.
In fairness, his thing, as observed taking place live, would seem to be little shy of sorcery.
They've let a linguist in the same room as a musician, and it is exactly as nerdy as I would've expected
I love ittttttt
Hm......I beatbox, I used to be in high school Varsity Choir, and I know English and progressively less in 3 other languages.
I think I can do this! xD :P

Tom Scott is a linguist?
@@guisampaio2008 Indeed he is! Not by trade, necessarily (though he does have a series on the subject), but at least by training.
"Quantum entanglement"
"A bridge in Leeds"
it seems beardyman's patreon supporters know tom well
He's not a physicist, though
I absolutely love those two suggestions together and now I desperately need a hyperpop song about them
"The bridge that doesn't want to be a bridge" would've been even more classic Tom Scott. xD
"I'm on a bridge in Leeds, quantum entangled with a gazebo"
@@HappyBeezerStudios Sounds like a romcom I'd watch.
"A plosive with a fricative, sir"
I did not know this was going to be about turning linguistics into music but I'm here for it.
I don't understand a thing but I'm also here for it.
@@Artaxo A plosive is a sound that's made by building pressure. T, D, P, B, K, and hard G are all plosive noises. Fricatives are like a danish meatball.
@@Artaxo plosive is like a p, mini explosion. Fricative is like a v, something vibrating.
@@ashtar3876 or in this case, a P, followed by a F, or Pf. Say Pf. Now say it repeatedly in quick succession. It's a mini drum beat. Now try K (Not Kay, but Kuh - as in kicking k) Now do Pf K, Pf K. Basic beatbox beat in a few mins.
Tom Scott getting utterly gobsmacked for 20 minutes as Beardyman knocks a track seemingly out of thin air in real time. Seriously, dude works crazy fast.
The crazy thing is that normally Beardyman does work in real time, this is actually slow for him.

@@CricketEngland Oh you're serious. Well in that case there are still a plethora of bands out there who make music in classic styles. It's just a matter of looking around on Soundcloud and Bandcamp for a while.
For a total of 20 minutes Hyperscott was a person, a star, an idol
How will I continue now, without Hyperscotts gazebo
Feedback, imperfections.... 🎶
I love how Tom was initially confused but eventually got into the whole "just pile stuff in there because whatever" attitude
So this is what a 21st century wizard looks like. And he's exactly on time.

2010: Throwing drum kit off cliff
2022: I AM THE DRUM KIT
Does that mean the next video is Tom throwing himself off a cliff? (abseiling or base jumping)
@@chrisanderson8889 no, a drumset is throwing a cliff off of tom
That's some cool character arc.
@@lonesome3958 that’s like 3 cuils away from the original video.
As someone that knows many people that are hard of hearing and has an auditory processing disorder myself, the effort that you put into making this video as accessible as possible with the subtitles really impressed me! I've never seen another creator use them so effectively and it's set a new standard for me. Seriously, thank you so much it made the video 100x more enjoyable!
It's the standard in the UK for formatting subtitles -- because the EU/UK had Teletext (I believe Tom also has a video on that) instead of the crappy system of putting subtitles into invisible lines on the TV transmission, and Teletext supported 16 colors for text, you could make subtitles like this.
"Oh, look at me I bought a Lamborghini- buy some damn subtitles!"
I can confirm this too, despite me not having any auditory processing disorder or anything of that nature, makes it easier to describe to my friends roughly what was occurring in the video.
@@thebaker8637 How is TV broadcasting standard relevant to TH-cam?
@@jacquelineliu2641 very. UK laws apply to TH-cam too. For example you cannot do a promotion without stating it or you will be done by the government.
This is gold.
It made me let go of my papers!
I dropped my papers hearing this.
My papers are shivering right now
My papers are on the floor 🥶
what a time to be alive!
hyperpop and tom scott are two words i thought i'd never see together
three words
"hyper-scott"
Just seeing the video title absolutely FLOORED me
didn't expect to hear "pc music" in a tom scott vid
I think that is the whole purpose of this channel. And I love it.
As a music producer this guy blows my mind, his ear for rhythm where you usually wouldn't find any is insane. His use of on the fly fx are insane, what a lad.
I know, right?? I kind of understand what he's doing but this would take years of practice, building up and buying equipment and plugins. I would not have the patience (or money) for that, let alone the talent this guy has!
As a musician with a little more than a basic level of musical knowledge, I could appreciate and understand the fundamental stuff. But only just enough to keep up with the development of the track. I haven't actually played anything in a few years, I just have the knowledge that I learned from that time.
As a person with a bad ear and no music experience at all this is magic, just simple magic. I don’t remember who said it but there is a quote “sufficiently advanced technology will be like magic” or something and now I understand what that means. Beardyman just touches some buttons and suddenly there is rhythm and harmony, it’s mind boggling.
You might wanna look into Beatbox Looping if you find this cool!
@@squillz8310 I used to play the piano when I was very young, but I feel like my electrical engineering knowledge helped my more than my music theory knowledge.
They should release an instrumental version that's just pure silence for a solid 3 minutes.
i love you
Can we please get TomPop as genre, where people use samples of Tom's voice from different videos to make music :3
by your description it's more like tomcore, as using tom Scott samples doesn't need be pop
we’re just inventing ytpmvs again
Beardyman, explaining: When you turn up the "zap" thing, it's turning up this thing...
Tom, confused: Those are some words I vaugely recognize.
Beardyman, simplifying: It's like a tempo-synchronized low-frequencey oscillator which is sweeping a resonate filter... That's what that's doing.
I know what these words mean but hearing them so quickly one after another still made my head spin.
For the people who aren't music-savvy: it means that it's a note that slowly moves up and down along the beat, with some feedback on each end.
"In English, please?"
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 noise go wawawawa very fast through filter :)
Beardyman is playing his "4-screened-instrument" so well, so intuitively, that his swift inputs and motions kept me thinking something was speed up and fast forwarded.
Just awesome!
I also really appreciate the bonus descriptions explanations of what's going on in the subtitles :].
That "4screened-instrument" is called "Beardytron"
It's amazing to watch him play those control screens as an entire instrument. Anyone who says electronic music takes no skill is talking out of their arse.
Me: spends 35 minutes drawing the automation curve of a high pass filter for an 8 bar phrase
Beardyman: controls 10,000 FX and plays the launch pad simulateneously and live
lmao thisthisTHIS
Literally
The pain. While people just buy premade rise effects and call it music. Ugh.
LITERALLY
Good lawd… speaking truth haha… I just got the push 2 w/the full Live suite and this is super inspiring for sure!
Tom Scott bringing linguistics nerdiness to heavily-produced music. This is brilliant.
Please get a hard punk or death metal band to collab with you. You'd be great.
"Tom Scott learns to do death growls" would be awesome.
omg yes i need to see that :D
U should suggest that on the Tom Scott Website. Would love to see that
omg, yes!!!
@@00wolfer00 Growling about Ragnarök and the white cube at the end of the world.
love this, because as a linguist, tom going "i'll just do the ipa vowel chart" is extremly relatable. what is the POINT of learning the primary cardinal vowels if not being able to just whip them out at literally any random time
8:10 I love how his hand just defaulted into his pocket
I've never seen Tom's composure drop as much as it did in the intro to this.
You haven't seen him vaping...
@@lassehauerwaas3078 There is aahaah... uhh...uhhh......uhhhhhh....uhhhh....unnhhh......

I hope one of the goals of this channel becomes "produce a Tom Scott Album." It would be great to just see a 12 track of 12 different musical collabs and genres, with a cover art that he designed with the help of either a visual or digital artist.
I really hope it includes a remix of We Flew a Kite in a Public Place
Eliminate should definitely participate
@@CJMAXiK Tom Tearout album wen
YES
@Lainey Larsen It should include "If Educational Videos Were Filmed Like Music Videos"
I watch this and realise that, as someone who has had synths for 30 years, the sentence ‘it’s a tempo synced low frequency oscillator sweeping a resonant low pass filter" means a lot to me, but very little to most other people in the world.
Reminds me of that old Retro Encabulator video.
What does he mean by sweeping a resonant low pass filter?
@@rvbxn04
Filter - electronic circuit that allows sound shaping by only allowing certain frequencies to pass through. All EQs are filters.
Low pass filter - a type of filter, very common in synthesisers, that only allows the low frequencies to pass through, cutting off the higher frequencies
Resonance - applying a boost in the signal at the frequency above which the frequencies cannot pass, known as the 'cut off frequency’, leading to the creation of new and interesting harmonics in the sound.
Resonant filter - a type of filter that allows individual control of both the cut off frequency and the resonance, allowing you to move the cut off frequency around change the amount of resonance you add to the sound.
Filter sweep - the manual or automated movement of the cut off frequency from low to high or high to low. Think the sound of a wah wah pedal.
@@danpreston564 ayy thank you for the Explantation
‘Your singing voice is No Doubt Sublime” I don’t know if this was intended, but I would love it to be.
Tempo synchronised low frequency oscillator performing a band pass filter sweep is some proper jargon - genuinely meaningful but completely impenetrable to a newbie
and on the other hand meaningful insight about a nice trick I'm sure to forget when I need it...
The techno babel jargon was the part that made sense for me. Much better than a linear sine sweep.
Brooooo. That’s what lfo stands for?
I mean. So that’s what LFO stands for. Cuz, that’s what an LFO is. I just never thought about it being the short form for something.
Or I did. But, was too lazy to google it.
Do turn on subtitles on this, even if you are a native or fluent speaker. Tom has generally really well done subtitles, but here there is a high amount of additional interesting information packed into them.
Thanks so much for the suggestion! It was highly entertaining and interesting.
I'm mostly intrigued by the fact that youtube has the option of coloured subtitles? I have *never* seen those before-
For example... *_(snort)_*
@@montrovy Tom Scott's videos' subtitles are the golden standard on TH-cam and I've seen no other videos with up to par level subtitles
Thanks so much! Great rec
I'm a massive fan of these subtitles, I don't know if that level of detail is standard for you but it really was helpful and interesting
It isn't, but it really should be.
It is now!
The subtitles were thrilling! As a VERY amateur linguistic enthusiast and complete newbie to modern musical performance, I loved everything from the IPA for Tom's vocalizations to the artistic depictions of Beardyman's furious button mashing.
"That is very weird and uncomfortable, but we'll go with it." has basically become the mantra of this channel. With amazing effect.
I love how his linguistic skills actually helped him make a pop song. Would've never expected those two fields to help one another like that.
"I can do that! That's a standard sweep through IPA vowel chart. I can do that." "♪Absolutely♪"
Tbf most drum sounds can be described in lingustic terms. Beatboxing is like linguistics in practice without having to know linguistics
lyrical meter is also a linguistic thing, although it's not as universally applicable
It's so easy to become dazzled by the tech and how comfortably Beardyman uses it, but what's really striking as well is how good a keyboard player he is!! He's a superb musician!
Here's a really interesting thing. When Beardyman asks "Do you want to take some notes?" he makes a "phone typing" gesture. My generation would have made a "Pen writing" gesture.
Also I don't know what software he's using but that interface looks like hyperpop sounds.
The DAW is Ableton but I don't know what the other ones are.
I bet he still mimes a signature when he's asking for the bill after a meal though 😂
@@pkpckls Why? it's ages since you needed a signature to pay with card, ever since they brought in chip and pin.
@@randomwerewolf1099 It depends on where you are. Most sit-down restaurants I've been to lately in the U.S. still require a signature. When I was in Germany a few months ago, they required me to give my signature at the grocery store when I used card.
Most people would do the writing thing
i've never seen tom so bewildered and confused and confounded in my life. regardless of all the crazy plane flying, centrifuges, volcanoes and all, it took THIS to break his brain.
The science stuff you can figure out how it works. This is just wizardry that has no other logical explanation.
It helps that Tom is fully willing to believe the world is magical, but unwilling to believe that his own voice could be. I'm sure many of us can relate to that.
Science is exact knowledge, this, this is creativity. Enough to break his brain and my
Can we just appreciate the captions filled with incredibly technical and convincing descriptions of what's going on that make absolutely no sense to me at all but I also completely believe what they tell me is 100% accurate? Impeccable job!
Well now I'm rewatching this with captions on!
It's telling me there are no captions right now. Weird.
As someone with knowledge of both linguistics and music production, it's impressively accurate and I have great respect for all the work that's gone into this!
I can confirm that the captions are accurate
I love watching Tom just stand there desperately trying to not laugh or make supportive noises.
I love how they can just dish out instructions using linguistic terminology and they got a common understanding in that. Amazing overlap of crafts!
Hats off to the person that made these subtitles,the color coding is a fantastic touch.
i didn't even know that was possible!!!!!
"Adds low harmonic"
"Plays hi-hat beat"
Theyre always so good and descriptive
As a person with a bad ear and no music experience at all this is magic, just simple magic. I don’t remember who said it but there is a quote “sufficiently advanced technology will be like magic” or something and now I understand what that means. Beardyman just touches some buttons and suddenly there is rhythm and harmony, it’s mind boggling.
Abe Lincoln, John Glenn, Dalai Lama, Albert Einstein, Robert Heinlein, Carl Sagan, JS Bach, Don Henley, Harry Krishna, Ram Dass, MLKjr, QE II, FDR, Adyashanti, The Pope, Fred Flintstone? Those are my guesses for who said it
Science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke: "Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Such technology is known as Clarkian technology.
The true magic is the artist's understanding of music and rhythm and being able to use technology to make it into a song, but there's a lot of factors that makes the artist that unique that makes music just art.

I was surprised when they both instantly agreed that "keep me in your shade" was somehow negative. That betrays your sun starved credentials as British people, shade is a lovely thing where I grew up in the tropics. We would tossle for the shady spots when I was in school.
made me think about throwing shade tbh
It's got nothing to do with weather, it's because of the slang meaning of "shade".
Shade is defined by Urban Dictionary as 'acting in a casual or disrespectful manner towards someone/dissing a friend'.
Casting an overbearing shadow. One cannot shine in the limelight if they are obscured.
I love their energy. It's so refreshing. "It makes no sense, I love it"
The way Tom gets simple joy out of this whole experience is the best thing about this video.
Beginning 9 minutes: okay cool beatboxing, nice nice.
After Tom does the vowels: I have ascended my mortal constraints and now live in a metaphysical aether.
Ended up sounding more like liquid drum and bass than hyperpop but that doesn't matter at all. Fascinating video!!!
It's not a true beardyman set unless it drifts towards dnb :D
love how you get
19:19 - ambient liquid dnb break
19:33 - melodic chord chops that scream HYPERPOPPP
that was a neat transition in the video editing there too :o
also i'd say the tempo of 158 saves the hyperpop vibe, compared to dnb which is (usually) a tad bit higher
I don't know what those words mean but I'm inclined to agree with you.
4:15 was ALMOST, so very close to CBAT that it gave me a mini heart attack
So... I really enjoy watching his hands move so fluently on his equipment. He's mesmerizing.
Is that Beardyman, a British multivocalist, musician and comedian from London renowned for his beatboxing skills and use of live looping? I simply can’t believe it.
Also renowned for being Jay Foreman's brother!
@@edderiofer OMG WHAAAAAAAT?!

@@Lilly-Gorney Their biggest resemblance is their voice, imho. They also both have perfect pitch and are gifted as hell with anything relating to music
I was wondering if they were related
Tom is like a very much internet person, his videos and many references in them are much internet oriented. So as a child of the internet much like many of us its fitting that Beardyman (coincidentally or intentionally) chose Hyperpop for Tom.
If you watch the video on Beardyman’s channel Tom actually knows Hyperpop
Son of the internet
@@Giurigi123 But also father of the internet
The vocal prompt Beardyman was looking for is probably "talk like you're trying to record on a coastal cliff with a lot of wind." I would LOVE if you could have the ability to work with Beardyman again. I want a remix using your iconic Tom Scott™voice.
Just realised Beardyman and Jay have the exact same laugh, which is an undoubtedly great quality to share.
It runs in the family.
15:52 uncanny!
For a guy who is perpetually on air, Tom is quite self-conscious in these Plus videos. Nevertheless love this one
Because he's doing things he's not used to doing. Just because you're used to performing in one way, doesn't mean you're used to performing in other ways.
Toms normal videos are heavily scripted and shot a dozen times, but these plus videos are very close to live with very little script control. Not being in control of the action is what usually seems to throw Tom off.
it makes it so much more raw and real and I love that part. properly edited videos without any hiccups tend to feel so clinical and unreal. these are natural and give me that "hey, _I_ could do that too" kind of inspiration.
You can really see this guy loves music for what it really is, and isn’t caught up in today loop of fame, money, and open to Toms taste. Just making good music and having a gaff. Excellent.
Who knew hyperpop Tom Scott is actually GLaDOS
This guy is so insanely fast at processing the samples

Name: Beardyman.
Face: No beard.
Hotel: Trivago.
Tom, can you perhaps do a video with/about the folks who do your captions? Your captions are consistently excellent, and they don't just transcribe the spoken words, but there's actually quite some technical know-how in how the sounds are described, and I really admire that.
Would love to learn more!
As a musician, I agree with this.
It's like watching a more electro-heavy version of Jacob Collier. So fun, so free, so effortless.
Edit: 11:47 might be one of my favourite "extra-musical" moments ever. I simply love the idea this proves: inspiration can come from anywhere, often when you least expect it, and even directly from a place of "failure".
I don't know who he is, and it's not really my thing, but both his skill and the fact he genuinely seems like a nice guy means I immediately like him.
That's become a theme of this channel.
He's actually jay foreman's brother
I need to find myself a hobby that would make me as pumped as Beardyman seems to be in this video.
give beatboxing a try. you never know it might become your thing the same as it became mine after i saw beardy
Beatboxing became my thing! It could be yours too!
Tom has this incredible ability to show us people in their flow state in such a natural way
7:23 sounded like sci-fi script writers putting in “vaguely sciencey sounding words” when explaining the earpiece someone is putting on or something

Let me in your shelter
I got a message but couldn't tell her
The words do sound better in your shade
Crossing the wires
In a broken world full of liars
Desires do sound better in your shade
Shelter me from the rain
Keep me in your shade
...From the rain
Keep me in your shade
Lost connections
Across the decaying orbits of time
Transmissions sound better in your shade

I sound better in your shade

This sounds like a hymnal for a new religion
@@Dong_Harvey It really does, right?
I love how it makes no sense at all.
Even though they were just making up random lyrics from the back of other lyrics, I feel like it actually does somehow make sense. It feels like it’s about finding someone that lets you speak your mind freely after being alienated by the world for so long
4:24 Watching Tom giggle in the background as Beardyman does his thing is wonderful.
"where we're going, we don't need words" ...
Two minutes later...
"Right, we need some lyrics"
4:50 - 5:10 this moment. Those twenty damn seconds right there. It is one of the most important and powerful moments that you can give a newcomer musician. I've had so many of these moments and given quite a few of these moments from hearing and creating music on the spot myself. Tom portrays all of us embracing the "impossibly unbelievable" moments right here. More precisely 5:03 - 5:08, that was definitely where Tom was the MOST blown away the entire video
Tom's linguistic expertise is coming in real handy here..and he's right, this is MAGIC.
Never in my life did I think I’d see “hyperpop” or “Beardyman” in the title of a Tom Scott video
My heart cannot possibly handle the obscene mountains of coke it would require for me to process even 1% of this, but what a lovely way to spend 20 minutes of my day.
Beardyman is a creative (and musical) genius. It is amazing to see him work here on TH-cam, and I can't imagine the amount of awe I would feel from seeing him do his magic in person. From your reaction, I'm sure that you understand what I mean. Just wonderful!
Tom Scott a hyperpop queen
A magician with fast moving fingers weaving music and music into the tapestry of beats
And huge applause for Tom really trying out things outside his comfort zone, and overcoming shyness, embarrassment and awkward feelings to do something totally different from his usual
Gahh!
I'm so glad I stumbled across this video......to be reminded that Beardyman exists.
Back in 2015 or so I was OBSESSED with his music. His improvisational talents are insane. He's immensely talented and creative. I need to get back into his stuff.....
Exactly what I was thinking
8:09 I love the gentle slide of the hand into the pocket 😄
Beardyman is honestly one of the most talented musicians alive. What an honour to watch this - thank you!
Go see him live if you can, it's truly amazing to watch him compose in front of you!
@@vailpcs4040 No doubt. Definitely hope I will be in town when he's in my city!
I now want Harry Mack X Beardyman
Beardyman did an incredible job! I’ve never seen Tom as amazed by anything like that. Also, are linguists becoming hyperpop artists?
I feel like linguistics is a great way to approach the types of sounds produced for this
Given how there are actually lyrics written completely in IPA for professional singing purposes... well.
Beardyman litteraly only gets better and better. Pure inspiration and CONTROL (in caps!!!) over keys and software.
As someone who doesn’t often listen to genres like this, I can’t believe he was able to make me enjoy it for 20 minutes (and 39 seconds) straight

Two things strike me about this video. Firstly, It's made me appreciate the immense amount of effort and time that goes into crafting a piece like this, and I am humbled by it. Secondly, I was always confused on Star Trek how their data pads and computer interfaces supposedly had buttons indicating fragments of algorithms that would then be programmed together in real time to get the effects that the characters wanted. That never made sense to me, but really, that's essentially what is happening here right now.
If I'm not mistaken, the synths of the time were a big influencer on that datapad design

Dammit. Now I can alreday see myself having the "shelter me from the rain" stuck in my head at my next shower.
I mean... during a shower, you DON'T want to be sheltered from the "rain" right? 😀
Any sufficiently advanced skill is indistinguishable from magic.
I still can’t get over the fact that beardyman is jay foreman’s brother
Loving how Tom’s linguistics knowledge means he and Beardyman are instantly speaking the same language.
Imagine what it's like to just sing and then suddenly you're in a Sonic the Hedgehog soundtrack
12:08 the (snort) in the subtitles made me cackle
Been a Beardyman fan for over a decade, and then Tom Scott comes in and does his amazing thing while they're talking about hyperpop! I feel like this video was custom made for me!
i didnt think about how toms linguistic background would come into play with knowing what vocal sounds are what, but in hindsight it totally makes sense
How....does one's brain fly a mile a minute like this. Beardyman seems on a whole other dimension of existence in general and I love it. I know someone like this who hasn't found a strong calling yet that I know of, and I'm definitely going to lean them towards producing if so! ;D ;P
I'd like to see Tom do some real hyperpop some day. Could you imagine a Tom Scott x 100 gecs collab
I feel like I shouldn't be surprised at how much of a relationship there is between vocal performance and linguistics, but I'm delighted at how much Tom Scott's linguistics background is informing this.
