"There's something about how percussionists think that is a little bit suspect but also like really fun when you get a bunch of them in a room" - Adam Neely, 2018
@hiqwertyhi Before hearing the original sentence in context in the video, here's how I understood your quote of Adam : Percussionists think it is suspect, but fun, when someone invites a large group of them to get inside a room [like there's a danger or something?]. And Adam thinks there's something about them feeling that way. [I litteraly have a condition of over+wrongly analysing information. I laughed at how wrong I understood this quote when I got to that point in the video :)]
I really like the feel of apartment sessions. Feels warm to me. I love seeing how everyone works together! Essentially everything I love about DIY music shows up in apartment sessions, and that's really great to see!
Man this must have been super fun! Thank you so much for sharing all of this with your viewers! I already follow adam and have seen many apartment sessions+blogs, but this was kinda from another view point and I really enjoyed it and felt inspired to do projects like this with my friends!
i was blown AWAY by this. Your creativity is pure genius. taking the chords you used in the song leak water was mind blowing. something that starts out feeling dissonant becomes something pure and beautiful.
Omer Tabach i know this is from a year ago but an 808 is basically a low, digital, booming bass sound. think what you would hear in any modern popular rap song. the name derives from the roland tr 808, where the kind of bass sound first really saw popularity in the early hip hop tracks from the 80s
shyguyinfinity no, I’m a guest arranger on apartment sessions, and have done guest arranging on other sessions. Ben’s connection is just a happy coincidence
Ben Levin - the most beautiful instrument! :)

Being on apartment sessions has become a bucket list thing for me over the past few months. The atmosphere is just infectious and wholesome as heck.
HONNNNK! It's like the 'Music People I Like Extended Universe'. Good work all!
I think that's one of the greatest videos I've ever seen that shows how music is so much more than notes.
What a group of cuties! 🍊
I noticed you used your harmonized twelve tone row as backing track during Adam's part. Nice!
That's where that bit is from! Thanks, I had been trying to remember.
Thanks a bunch! Was also curious about the music.
Thanks for giving Apartment Sessions some extra coverage. That session was definitely one of my favourites!

Tomas McCluskey that is just awesome! Go for it!!!
Congratulations Ben! And thanks for posting this, it's cool to get a behind the scenes mini-doc of how the Apt Sessions come together.
this video makes me happy when I watch it again
i hope to see more Ben Levin on Apartment Sessions :)))
Pedro Proença Ben L’apartment-Session

Ben Levin = The most beautiful instrument
I love how we can hear you smile at 4:41 when you say: "also a harp and banjo in the bathroom".

Love the warmth you can see in apartment sessions, lovely tune. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.
i am a patron of both Ben Levin and Apartment Sessions %)
Thank you so much for showing these interviews! This video is so interesting and satisfying to watch.
As usual nothing short of amazing
Truly epic arrangement
Man I want to be part of a scene like this
Your musical output is insane! How can you manage all these different bands and projects?
Alfons Pistoletti I would imagine the answer is simply passion. It makes you able to to crazy things like this
All this is so inspiring
Good job, Ben.
