TEDxAtlanta Opening | Moon Hooch | TEDxAtlanta

- Опубликовано: 19 май 2015
- The musical equivalent of the TEDxAtlanta theme “Bold Moves,” Moon Hooch kicked off the conference. The raw, kinetic sounds of saxophones and drums electrified the auditorium and set the energy at maximum volume.
Moon Hooch is recreating the sounds and energy of dance club music with two horns and a drum set.
Moon Hooch captured the imaginations of thousands with its infamous stints busking on subway platforms and elsewhere in New York City: two sax players and a drummer whipping up furious, impromptu raves. It happened with such regularity at the Bedford Ave station in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that the band was banned from playing there by the NYPD. The trio’s subsequent tours with They Might Be Giants, Lotus, and Galactic as well as on their own have only broadened the band’s appeal. Wherever Moon Hooch plays, a dance party soon follows.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
They give a whole speech about love and compassion and everyone's on here hollering "TMZ!!!111eleventy" like you have to choose between them. I will never ever forget the day I randomly clicked on their Tiny Desk concert. These guys are absolute pioneers and astounding musicians.
Agree with u! same here! ;)
have you seen their collab song? moon hooch and too many zooz created a group called moon zooz and did a song
Tsuji87 yeah that was brillant.
Bulletstop75 just had that moment of randomly clicking on their tiny desk performance...I'm hooked
Tiny Desk today here.
they used to hate each other and now they buy the same shoes
Stole my thunder
may you tell me the story?
Man....reminds me of the story of your mom and i
ever since I randomly found their Tiny Desk Concert I've been amazed every time I hear them and especially see them perform, it's completely different from anything else I've heard or seen
try too many zooz or lucky chops, they're pretty similar
if you enjoy this, then probably Thundersmack and Meute are great choices too. There is a very similar band from Germany called Brass Riot too.
How are these guys not more popular?!
I'm not understanding why we have to decide between Too Many Zooz, Moon Hooch, or any other band toting similar instruments. there is room in the music world for all of the great, hard working musicians to spread their message. I love them both & frankly they both bring such different elements to the table that trying to compare the two would be impossible. the two are just so different. the only similarities they have are the drums, the saxes & the size of the bands. & all 6 of these gents deserve props as the excessively talented musical badasses & rebels that they are. show some respect.
Jennifer Gooley Are people trying to choose one over the other? I just want them to make some more awesome collaborative music together
Never mind, I just scrolled down. Good lord, why is it so impossible for people to accept that there are two great bands with similar stiles -_-
Dead Neanderthals is the best
What we need is Moon Hooch+Lucky Chops+Too Many Zooz collab
@@maradupras7278 yes
Someday I will reach James Muschler levels of crazy-eyes.
Drummer is in a deep state of zen concentration it seems.
macarthur19 meth what you are talking about its meth
Acid, actually. That would also explain the love montage and the crystal necklaces. And the music. God damn the music. Thank you acid.
I've never seen him leave whatever realm he exists in.
Having met them in person I can report that they are not tripping on anything but life. They are the real deal.
@@catherinebiggs8162 aww man must have been great to hear em live!
bari 3 is easily one of the top 10 cave songs of all time!!
These dudes have extreme magnitude live. Seeing them is like setting your heart on fire. It was like 98 degrees outside when I saw them at San Diegos xfest. Just three dudes off stage on these restricted stairs to the side of the stage. They were there to play between act changes, but needless to say they completely derailed every act. Hope they play this smart and make it big
thank you tiny desk!
I'm so glad that this band has stuck together so well because they are AMAZING!
15:57 and 17:32 James is KILLING IT on the drums.
Why is that transition from number 9 to bari 3 so satisfying
I can't beleive I just witnessed another man doing the crazy angry train like noise that Leo P does on his bari
I mean they have different styles, but yeah it's pretty similar. Just astounding that he can do it on tenor.
these guys are pure geniuses when it comes to music :o
at 5:20 does James just thrown a cymbal on the ground?
Yep. It's the splash he has on his snare drum. It's used to create a more dry disco/hip-hop sound (if you don't hit the cymbal), and otherwise just add an effect to the sound. It sounds great
I love their sound! I can't imagine the crowd not out of their seats going nuts over these guys! would love to see them live!
I like listening to them play music!
It's hard to tell if the drummer's wearing the team shoe.
Song times:
3:45 - Ewi
9:19 - Number 9
13:45 - Bari 3
17:13 - Contrabass Dubstep
I was just moved by their perfect speech and that amazing wired harmony
woww
awesome performance
spechless
As a person who Anli heard “Number 9”, when they switched to it, I went crazy
Brilliant
Tiny Desk as well. I mean, how are you gonna see the still with the cone coming out of the sax and NOT click on it?! These do indeed rock. Can't wait to see them live!
my favourite 20 minute set ever
Ted has 7 million subscribers and this gets bearly 80k what the hell
JAW DROPPING BREATH TAKING AMAZING. a true inspiration - both musically and humanely :)
Honestly I think this was one of their worse performances and It's still amazing. So glad I had the opportunity to catch them live. There is nothing like the energy they create. It must have to had suck listening to them sitting down in that hall.
Ipwn touch I've seen them only twice. Once with an incredible sound/stage system/group. Nothing can compare to that. I went in not knowing them thinking, whatever, I came out with my mind blown. I've tried spreading the word, but you almost have to see it to believe it.
Btw, I did get to meet them because I was with other touring bands. I have to say they're like any other great band. They need to all be there. They ALL contribute. They need each other.
Saw them open for Mike Doughty in Vancouver. Phenomenal live and through them I found the collab w TMZooz. All great in their own way.
Saw these dudes live in ATX and they absolutely crushed it!
The drummer is a beast.
Since i hear you i love you, and now have 100% respect and support your way dudes, keep that! Youre an inspiraton
A bit more insight into how remarkable these guys are, and why their music is as good as it is :-)
needs to be in the cantina in Star Wars
omg yes
But the cyberpunk remake
Amo su musica! son geniales!!!!
Addictive !
this shit is so fire. it should have 4 million views let alone 4k...
so inventive.
I lit up when they started playing #9
My new favorite band!
15:00 was a very Stewart Copeland like drum transition- epic
Stay Strong, Stay Together and Make More Beautiful songs. You are all amazing. Love You Guys. Thank You So Much :D
These guys rock so fucking hard.
Amazing!!!
Just saw them play on Later with Jools Holland, playing Psychotubes! Impressive group.
Thank you!
Now that is an intro, almost got to see them in MONTREAL,,, won't miss them again.
Other than '' MATH '' ......music is the human magic of communication !!!
Greatest
They need an electric tuba
Avery Mcguire Only if you knew.
E..electric tuba??
Electric Tuba needs them
honestly I thought they were well off with just 2 horns but... YES they do
Took a chance on a band I'd never heard of this past weekend, and was blown into oblivion by one of the most intense displays of musicianship and innovative expressions. Moon Hooch, music to dissolve into. Now seeing this TED talk on what it took for them to transcend their personal tensions, it all makes sense.
Wicked use of the EWI here.
James is a mad scientist, his laboratory is the stage, his tools are his drums, and his freak badass experiment is his beats
Great band. Greetings from Spain
Hola👋
Oh man, that's a whole lotta drumming from a seriously basic drum kit. These guys are proper entertainment
man. these big scenes are dispersive and whoever did the mixing on this clearly didnt understand when to bring up the volumes of the lead sax. awesome musicianship anyway and also good "stay together for the kids" speech. but tiny desk was couple notches up hands down
Timothy Barth these guys are on a whole another lvl
Yeah, the tiny desk mix works so well because it's so dry. It's just music, no effects - here the flanger effect sucks life out of the brass.
luv u!
Sad to hear them talking about overcoming disputes now considering James has left the band.
James didn't want to go through the process of working through it.
That solo nah man wth 🔥🔥🔥
Are they jazz? Are they rock? Are the proghop?! Whatever, I LOVE them!
Welcome to Cave Music
Love it. Really. Only band with horns I like.
They've all grown and improved so so much since they started, but especially the drummer. If you listen to their oldest songs, then their newest, it's like a whole different band. Around 12:30 to 13:00 I swear I hear 3 saxes. WHERE TF DID THE OTHER ONE COME FROM!?!? There's also a small chunk missing from one of the cymbals. Is that how the cymbal is made? Or is it broken? It looks too intentional to be broken, but I've never seen a cymbal like that before
Whole band of Whiplash
super intense
just love it
The ultimate Ted Talk: Let the music talk!!!
Dubstep Sax. Nice...
I love you even more now I know you meditate! Makes sense though. Big love ❤
That transition to bari 3 was legendary. They need to do that again with some better sound equipment
This is why loopers were developed.
💗
Harness for an ewi
seems there is someone in the back specifically doing the effects? lol cool.
Somebody fire the soundman PLS!! Tiny desk sounds so much better and you can tell they enjoyed that set much better.
What is that instrument Wenzl is playing at the beginning? It's sweet!
+JanuarysGinger its called an EWI
EWI, or Electric Wind Instrument
More specifically an Akai EWI.
i see space clarinet i like
Simple man ez life
Does anyone know what the red bari mouthpiece is
James Muschler is an attribute!
Does anyone know if they purposely put the tenor on a shallow equalized sound? Or is it just in this online upload? It's a bit of a loss since he plays the leading solos.
3:43 the song starts
17:23 dubstwp time
what is the bari mouthpiece?
These songs are lit af. What is the final woodwind that is the circular one?
i have no idea but it looks like some kind of clarinet maybe? I'm just basing that off the mouthpiece
its a contrabass clari.
Is that a kyber crystal around his neck?
what is that softer tune at 7:00 that they keep going back and forth to? Was it just improv or an actual song?
Its part of the song. Look up EWI.
What is that electric instrument?????? What u call it?
Electric Sax?
That's an EWI, electric wind instrument. That one is the original and made by AKAI, there are others, the main competition being the WX series by Yamaha that has been made on and off since the 90's, right now they are not in production, while AKAI produces EWIs full time.
song?
Can anyone tell me what the last song is called? It's a little bit reminiscent of something Meute would play.
No traffic cone :(
Verr Sadge
wait did they start with knee deep in the dead??
What's the bari mouthpiece he's using?
Jacob Buchan all late but it’s a Runyon
Last instrument anyone? Contrabass sax?
I believe it is a contrabass clarinet. I'm not exactly sure what type it is, but it is definitely some type of clarinet
Evan Surmaj It's the Leblanc model 340 contrabass clarinet. It's generally referred to as the paper clip clarinet though
Makes me cry seeing how it was used, cuz I just want one to play concert band music
Clarisaxx22 Dude I feel that, but Wendell just freakin annihilates it and his so innovative with his sound and oh my lord
Wenzel*
name of first bass instrument? thanx
electric wind instrument i believe
xMtysx02 it's called an EWI
song at 15:00 ????
Bari 3
what kind of mouthpiece is on that bari sax??
Bridge Baxter it’s a French company (sadly i forgot the name) but they 3D print it specifically for you and if you don’t like it they send it back and remake it
EWI is sooo cool
that drummer is great tho, sounds like studio drums
Это просто аху.........ннооооооо!!!!!!!!
anyone know that bari sax mouthpiece?
Wompus Woo it’s a France company. (Sadly i forgot the name) but the custom 3D print the mouthpiece specifically for you and if you don’t like it you send it back and they remake it
Wompus Woo i wanna get one but they’re like $350
@@jackmaske5501 one year later you remember the name yet?
One year later if you still don’t know it’s a Runyon
Music starts at 3.40. You're welcome.
The speech is nice
What bari sax mouthpiece is that?
its a discontinued one, not sure tho. i remember them posting it on their Insta saying it was discontinued and i forget what brand they said it was.
Vyzix Qwez Runyon
Hated eachother and now literally they walk in the same shoes.
tricktaylor1983 And now hate each other again.
James has a great build but V-necks definitely don't suite him.
Amazing performance. Never knew about all the infighting the band suffered through. Pretty incredible the amount of effort they put into making it work.
Surprised he didnt pop that shit off with that flame they were all spittin
