David Torn is one of the guitarists who opened up my ears and mind back in the late 80s. And he continues to be an inspiration in the current day. One of my favorite guitarists!
I have been listening to contemporary music for well over half a century but I discovered the music of David Torn comparatively recently. What a find! Torn is a truly innovative guitarist and a creative genius. Thank you for this wonderful upload.
this left me speechless. music beyond the concept of 'good/bad'. this guy tunes in at the core of life itself, making me aware of the flawed human being i am, while being content.
this is fantastic, David-- completely beautiful music, as usual, and an extremely compelling story after. It was such a privilege being in Ithaca in the late 70's and getting to hear you play with great frequency, you were and are clearly a great artist. good luck to you going forward! michael sieverts
Saw this a few years ago and since I have developed my own balance issues due I have been told to my spine and surrounding nerve and disk damage. So quite emotional this time around. Great sound piece.
What tuning is this, David? Wonderful and deeply profund set. Really love those textures. You have been my inspiration to start making and release my own guitar-driven-experimental music.
Wow, what a wonderful performance and informative talk. I don't understand the negativity, it's art for christsakes! If you don't like it just quietly go back to margaritaville.
Ah, I admire David Torn very much but... that came off more like a Dr. Phil talk than any sort of relatable, bigger context for learning speech and the improve was duuulllllll..... I hope no real oud players were watching.

Me too. He doesn't just create music he opens up space out of thin air. True artistry he is.
Dang, Bobby! Aren't you the guy who created (IIRC) "Lux Nova"? I still have that CD, fantastic stuff!! (And I can hear Torn's influence, all over it)
@@nickkomanowski9503 Nick! You’re that one guy who bought it! I’ve been looking for you 🤣 thanks brother, glad to see people still like that album!

this is not music....THIS IS PRAYING !!!! thanks David !!!!
An amazing composition from one of the great guitarist/composers of our generation! Thanks TEDx for having him one to show his talents!
An incredible story. I already had deep respect for David Torn as an artist. But now I have an additional layer of respect for him as a human being.

Those Zobo Funn Band shows were dynamite.

thomaserak7 Torn straight from the Limp Bizkit library
Daring and fearless, but, you know, raw. Would like to see more of a polished composition.
Wow, what a wonderful performance and informative talk. I don't understand the negativity, it's art for christsakes! If you don't like it just quietly go back to margaritaville.
That's the longest intro to "shine on you crazy diamond" I ever had to sit though.

Ads in the middle of recorded performance art is just wrong. Boo YouTurd! Makes this non share-able, :(
If anything, it's the channel's "fault" for monetizing the video.
with a couple rounds of wake up and smell the corpses...
haúúúúúúúúúúúúúú
Plugin the jack in as a musical performance. And then the fiam…
what a mess
