CAFO for cello - Animals as Leaders cover
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 янв 2013
- this is a cover of the masterpiece CAFO by Animals as Leaders for cello.
the video was made by me last year in July just with a Sony Handycam and Magix Video Deluxe; midi drums and midi bass were created with Guitar Pro.
some parts have been sped up - fast enough anyway... ;-)

update:
1) I'm really overwhelmed by your kind posts! Never thought about such a feedback - THANK YOU SO MUCH!! (also thanks to Tosin for posting my vid on your page, I really admire your musical talent!!)
2) believe me: some parts of this song are impossible to play on the cello in tempo (at least for me..?), therefore I recorded the intro/tapping part/solo in half time - the tapping part actually is quite hard to play in half time! simple explanation: I'm not able to tap on the acoustic cello. ;-)
(apart from that, nothing has been edited)
However, this video is not about demonstrating my skills, but about playing great music on the cello and having fun with it.
So take it at what it is and enjoy! :-)
(...but don't think that was not much work) ;-)

It's confirmed. A cello can definitely djent.
I don't think animals as leaders qualifies as djent
Dylan McElveen Tooth and Nail is definitely djenty.
Dylan McElveen Lolwut?
Strongarm McArmstrong But this is not tooth and nail.
Omni Codex Pretty cool indeed, but it's speed up
Cafo is every musicians worst nightmare. The fact that you can play it on a cello speaks volumes man. Nice job
I'm a bassist and I can play my part of CAFO no problem.
I can even do vocals simultaneously.
Mezurashii5 cool, except CAFO is instrumental so why are you talking about vocals
You realize all parts were sped up because he couldn't play them otherwise...
Well technically a bass guitar is present on the recording so I'd actually love to see it
Bodi Stern Truth
Sped up or not...this man deserves a fucking medal...
It's sped up? Who cares, this dude just played CAFO on the cello, THE FRICKEN CELLO! Incredible!!!
only the hard parts are you can tell cause he holds his head still.
should reupload this w/o the drum track. For sure.
omigawd yus please
Tyler Bradshaw the crash sounds like a hard boiled egg being thrown at a tin saucer balanced awkwardly on a tiled floor
Joe Mathur that's guitar pro midi drum sounds... the Guitar Pro RSE is shittier
A full orchestra could probably play this full speed. I might be wrong, but I think flutists can play that fast. If the song had all the parts divided up appropriately it would be an amazing performance.
***** I hear something along these lines... 0:18 -Flute,
1:27 -Clarinet, 2:20 -Tuba/Trombone/Alto Sax
2:41 Cello just for pause, 2:49 -Alto Sax/Clarinet, 3:34 Trumpet/French Horn/Clarinet/Violins/Cello, 4:16 if possible a Harp 4:48 Wood Winds all together,
5:17 back and forth between different instruments,
but if you actually write Orchestra music then you probably hear Much better arrangements.
TylerNOS386277 You nailed it. They should do it with that arrangement. I support your choice of instruments for the different sections.
TylerNOS386277 Wow that would be fucking awesome. I'm definitely not at all skilled in orchestral apportioning, but that sounds brilliant.
TylerNOS386277 Love the instrument choices. I feel like at the part starting at 1:30 you could substitute a marimba for clarinet though. I know marimba players who can play this fast, so it's possible too. Also, I guess some of the fast flowing sections could be done with an entire first violin section, just so the whole song isn't a series of wind solos. Such a great idea though.
Ellis K. If someone actually did my idea, I think the most interesting part would be 3:34 - 4:15 because of all the different parts at once. at 3:34 you have the pretty rythem done by the Trumpets/French Horns/Clarinets/Violins/Cellos, then while they continue, the Flutes come in with their lead riff from the beginning at 3:48, then as both the Rythem & lead parts continue, the Tubas/Trombones/Alto Saxophones come in at 4:03 with their second rythem thats more up beat.
I thought porn wasn't allowed on RUclips.
I don't mind that this is sped up, it's still pretty cool
He said the video is not edited you schmuck
TheSpelingChamp It's clearly sped up.
pigfacedoorknob Thnx drunk m8
9/11
TheSpelingChamp he even said in the description that some parts were sped up
Before he started playing I was thinking it would be impossible to play on a cello. Speeding it up was the right decision rather than dumb down the arpeggio.
4:02-4:16 was absolutely beautiful and it's so cool how it has a different feel from the original even though he's playing the same notes
the face at the bottom right at 2:40 describes perfectly what that point in the song feels like.
Probably my favourite cover of CAFO. Amazingly done !
4:01 got chills at that part just like i get from the original, so great job!
OMG!! The whole song is amazing, but the solo sounds fucking godly in this instrument!! I felt like listening to whatever music you must listen when you ascend to heaven during the solo. Great cover.
Sounds more solid, darker, creepy, and amazing! Brilliant, and talent!
Animals As Leaders used to be one of my favorites. This quickly bumped them up to #1.
Goosebumps at 2:43, amazing job! Enjoyed every second of it!
Listening to CAFO performed on cello made me realize how monumental this track is. Keep it up, man, you did a great job.
Never thought I'd be headbanging to a cello, but this is so fucking sick!! good job man, you deserve an award (sped up or not) congrats dude.
Who gives a damn if its sped up... I play the guitar and think every instrument ever is fucking awesome and even this attempt on the cello is absolutely astounding. 12/10.
This guy is triple tasking. His head is going up and down, he is moving back and forth with his right hand, and he if moving his fingers around with his left hand! Amazing video!
WTF? I love your cover. The best on RUclips.
O cara simplesmente melhorou uma música intocável. Incrível, incrível. Com um instrumento clean pode-se apreciar melhor o direcionamento melódico de tosin abasi que é simplesmente um genio.
The first riff and moves he does playing it are so hypnotizing! It doesn't matter the video is speeded up, this is amazing.
Cello + Animals As Leaders + Headbanging + Solos + Melodies + Amazing Technique = BOOM!!!
As a fellow cellist and a fan of animals...this is SPECTACULAR!!!!
FULL RESPECT EVER
People keep commenting about it being sped up. I don't think you realize that some of the parts are impossible if they're not sped up. This guy still deserves respect if it's sped up or not.
Wow! Discovered Tobin tonight at a live concert and still surfing for more, now coming across this. Speechless.
due to the fact this is obviously sped up. Not much, probably only like 1.1x or so. It feels really unnatural for me to listen to. feels very forced and static. Eh oh well, I still give you props for learning the notes and playing it.
"Obviously sped up"? I only see one or two parts sped up.Other than that, this is a masterpiece.
Psyzerox Patho I'm going to assume you've never really worked or know about video speeds. seriously, watch any video of how arms or people move, speed it up with youtubes speed up option, come back to this video and then try and tell me this video is NOT sped up.
***** I wasn't replying to you. Not sure how it would show up as replying to you when i was replying to someone completely different.
demoncry,what is your instrument if i may?
mitsostim07 My instrument? i play guitar, bass, and i started a few months ago. cello and bass cello.
someone should do this with a double bass and cover wave of babies
ANIMALS AS LEADERS SHOULD ADD ONE MORE BAND MEMBER.
This is the best cover ever.
I can easily overlook the fact this is sped up
THIS IS AN AMAZING PIECE OF WORK!!!
He's not a human... he's a freaking Cyborg!
bravissimo! great job... very good, creative ... and it's classical anyways! =3
sounds really good . #HIGHQUaLitymUSIC
Nick Maxwell He's not a cyborg, he just sped up the video ;)
Cshhh!!!!! Don't kill my dreams! He's an actual CYBORG
Hahaha :D
what tempo did you actually track this in....i'm just intrigued, and quite impressed at your musicianship. I'm guessing you went half time and then sped it up in post.
Mike Lord I was thinking the same
I don't even care. It sounds so good.
heard that, it is super impressive that he pulled it off
155 bpm
I think that the sped up parts makes this much more better. It has much more creepier vibe in it which already comes from the cello. Awesome work man and keep 'em comming!
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. Thank you.
faith in humanity: restored
Exactly...I felt dark souls all the through this, honestly.
First off, that is epic, as good as the original, but for different reasons. I don't mind the cheap drum sound or sped up parts, it means nothing to me, what does mean something to me is the hair standing up on the back of my Neck, the feeling i get in my chest and the fact i have listened to this 5 times today since hearing for the first time yesterday. I would also love to hear the slow version of this minus drum track as i think that would have a different feel just by virtue of the speed and no drums, i suspect it would make it more eerie, but less energetic. I dont get the people whinging on here about drums/speed up, this is he closest cover i have seen of Animals as leadears (although the dual piano Cafo is also good). For a start AAL, Tosin is Hendrix combined with Mozart, a true genius, i think the world will look back in 100years and proclaim him a great he is not just great technically , he is a next level composer too, and this cover shows that, as well as a great vision from the Cellist, i have these ideas all the time, but i am a guitarist (20years) so i have to leave it to peeps like yourself to make the versions i wish i could, and this is one of them, its an almost perfect conversion from one medium to another. Truly epic mate and i thank Tosin for writting such great music (the original is just breathtaking anyway) and the performing Cellist, as im a very hard man to please, and im hyper critical when watching Music, but especially covers. Covering one of my fave songs and me liking it is a rare rare thing, well done you bowled me over. I want to hear an Orchestra covering , AAL, Scale The summit, and others such as Tool, Opeth etc thats the next one yet to be done, so if anyone out there likes this and that stuff? you have your assignments lol (On impulse -AAL, Jimmy -Tool, if i here an orchestra cover these tunes well, i can die happy)...and in regards the detractors? shut up, dont watch the vid, just put some head phones on, roll a ciggie/ joint/pour a glass of beer/wine and listen, forget technicalities , just listen, if you still have an issue then? remove your ears they are wasted on you. in short.... I Loved it
Jack Smith TL;DR
I'm completely agree with you, people complaining about the speed up? This is pure art.
Martin Roussev Too short did not care
+Jack Smith man, full orchestra cover of cafo on my channel, check it out:)
lmaooooo
Brother from another mother and father... you are gifted! We are eagerly waiting for some more of your creative work.
Fantastic - really enjoyed what you've done with this. I love collision of 'fine music' sound of the cello with the metal origins of CAFO - quite a powerful piece of music. Look forward to your next!
you guys come on you can't fuckinh expect him to play that shit on original speed😂
I'd prefer it just played 2 times slower but not sped up honestly.
Would like to see the original that isn't sped up to hear the cello come through a bit more.
This song sounds absolutely beautiful on a cello. Great job guy!
Wow man, great job. This is seriously one of the coolest things I have ever seen/heard.
that's the good think about Internet and things like RUclips:
we express our selves and talents and ideas freely for the first Time in History...
...the End of Monopoly from Organisations (companies/church/goverment/aristocrasy)
Think of the Arts and Culture Evolution we are going to get...
you just outplayed tosin
His vibrato in the sped up parts has me D E A D.
I have no words to describe your astonishing interpretation!
i dont like the speed up thing :S
It's much slower to swing your arm than to pluck a string with your hand/pick. It's much slower to move your hand up and down than to shift your fingers to the side.
sure Paganini aprove that :)
+Cris Xander Paganini was a violin player. Not a cello player.
+Cris Xander HAHAH
FACEPALM
+Cris Xander You're a moron.
Apocalyptica who?! Dude, you make we wanna get into cello classes right away
Even with some parts being sped up, I'm still blown away. Absolutely incredible.
the most innovative cover i've seen! the true greatness of it is that it allows you to appriciate the original in a whole new way.
so, thank you!
Legend tells of a legendary Cellist, who cellist skills were the stuff of LEGEND! Superb cover.
Holy Crap Dude!!! His stuff is insane to play on 8 strings... I can only imagine the journey you went through to translate that to 4!!!! Thank You Very Much for being AMAZING!
this gives me chills! otherworldly playing!
This is nothing short of amazing, you have so much talent!
bah, the fact that its sped up makes the original song that much more impressive, coz there's no denying this guys talent.
I really appreciated that! Congratulations, that's a superb way to express the brilliant composition of AAL. Cello fit nicely in this song!
i cant even begin to imagine the sheer amount of work put into putting this up. you deserve way more views than this
Dude. Im not one of the guys who says this to every shredder and every musician who is a bit bitter, but YOU are unbelievable.
Damn, even with the speed up you got the pitch absolutely spot on! You're Awesome!
89 people were dropped as children and can't tell a fantastic piece of music when they hear it.
i have to say it again....this is just off the chain amazing playing!
Well, my man. You have impressed me enormously. Sped up or not, this is just awesome.
You sir are incredible...thank you so much for making this...maybe the most beautiful thing I've ever seen/heard.
this is actualy such an accurate arrangement...very surprised at your shreddage. I didnt even think up till now that that was even possible.. thanks for the goosebumps! :)
Dear god, I had my doubts sir, but you dashed them away with your amazing abilities. If only more classical players had the innovation to take more progressive pieces and cover them.
I think this cover shows you something interesting about Tosin's writing. Thanks a lot for the awesome upload.
One of the craziest things that i' ve seen in my life, Respect dude!
Went to browse more videos by this guy and I none other than this video. I NEED MORE!
i guess we can all stop trying to do CAFO covers now that this guy just rocked our shit, with a cello.
This is so good, hearing everything so clearly makes me appreciate the original even more too
i'm so asleep but this deserved 7 minutes of my life
Dude you covered my favorite song on a cello, i love you
And the cello djents! Absolutely amazing man.
The most metal cellist ever! Great job, man!
There is something in it more amazing than anything I have ever heard.
This was once a thought in my head, you have made it a reality.
It sounds so beautiful that I ignore the drums because this cello melody alone is mesmerizing
dude, keep those videos coming! It's awesome, and we can see you're having fun, that's what people like to see in this kind of video. Yeah, Cello!
Damn, that was amazing. The original song was pretty mind-blowing the first time I heard it and this was no less impressive. Excellent work.
I'm *speechless* As soon as he started playing I felt just like I did when I was a little kid hearing Steve Vai for the first time.
that sounds ridiculously amazing!!
Blew my fucking mind. I hardly ever comment anything but this deserves it, if it's a nightmare to learn on guitar I can't imagine how hard it is to translate it to other instruments. Just amazing.
Man, i am blown away, its god damn amazing. Great chops man!
Man this is amazing! Excellent work! Definitely the cello is a versatile instrument that can even make beautiful Rock!
The bridge is absolutely magical.
best thing iv seen this year so far
Hah, wow man keep up the great work! It's amazing how powerful sounding and moving one acoustic instrument can sound.
Wow, this is truly something amazing. I loved every minute of it. Beautiful.
These are the kind of musical geniues we sould support!
AWESOME WORK DUUDE.... REALLY LOVE IT!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS MASTERPIECE!!! ITS MY FAVORITE SONG!!!
Truly amazing. Chills dont lie.
wow mesmerized, this was insane dude, bravo!! More please!
That is one of the coolest thins I have ever seen!!
Man I'd pay to see an orchestra performance of nothing but Animals As Leaders' music!!
This was FREAKING AWESOME!!
the best cover song, man. keep up the good work
Blown away, man. Spectacular!
Tosin needs to see this!!!
Absolutely breath taking!
