Yes, she was singing. Outside of the backing track (which she triggers herself), she is playing the song using multiple devices, i.e. synth keyboard, sampler, vocal looper, and pedal. It is all live, she is not simply playing a CD or lip syncing. Hope that helps.
I saw her play this live in a small venue before I'd ever watched videos of her performances. The breakdown she does where the song ends on the album was just thrilling - no one really had a sense of where the song was going, but everyone was part of this tremendous rising action built on those lush, gorgeous vocal loops. When she brought the drums back in the whole room lost it, strangers cheering and dancing together. One of the most memorable concert experiences I've ever had.
She fucking kicked ass back in the day. I get in a trance watching her mess with her equipment. True skills right here, and she's beautiful with her voice and her being. .. and I love her just rocking with the beat yo.... too sexy. .. what happened to the old"grimes"... beautiful smile as well
What I really find refreshing about this is that it shows the rare sight of a woman as a performer and a musician here not actually looking like she's doing this for the gaze of the camera, but for herself.
I actually agreed with what you guys said about 4:30, but then I thought more about it. If you listen to Genesis alone, it has, at the very line, a single bass line from Oblivion. It's a transition and C maybe just didn't cut out the end of the recording in time.
Умница, все правильно, талант! 💪От него никуда не денешься. Каждый выбирает свой путь. Все прописано в голове. Пирожки должен печь пирожник, сапоги точить сапожник.От судьбы не уйдешь!Не каждому дано Это.
Sadly, this video doesn't show her tweeking with her gear during this performance. The footage from the KEXP performance (which is in the related videos on the side) shows everything. It shows her starting the loops, playing the keyboard part, triggering the samples, etc.
My mouth is now super dry from the excessive amount of drooling I just did thinking about those three making music together. So, you know....thanks. haha
Maybe it's cool to add that Grimes uses a vocal pedal (BOSS VE-20) that multiplies her voice as a choir (different notes for each voice and all), and that's probably how she sings that second part - but sometimes she may sing along a pre-recorded voice, I don't discard that. Regarding the samples, she activates each one each time, if you listen to her first performances you'll see her fucking up some samples and then it becomes clear how it works hehe. I hope I helped (excelent video!!) cheer
The vox are heavily filtered too, with that much delay, echo and reverb it doesn't sound "natural". She layers the whole lot using loops as she goes (music and vocals), quite impressive really.
Just the background track, considering she couldn't naturally, or easily, play everything that's mixed together, all at the same time. If that made any sense. Everything is live, aside from the background track, and it just repeats itself, basically, throughout the entire song.
That awkward moment when people take your comment the opposite way you meant it. I wasn't trying to insult women in the music industry or suggest there's not loads of women who do enjoy making music just for themselves. More, I just realised it's rarer than it should be for a woman to be shown like this in music videos and so on- as just making music for herself. I think women are boxed into more limited roles in terms of the 'images' they get to show as performers and I welcome change in that.
She does it because she need her hands to play the song, i saw videos where she just dropped it on the floor to be able to keep up with the song making a harsh noise

all real grimey people already knew, but thanks for reminding the less knowledgeable
pretty obvious
Every grimes video there's someone like you pointing out the damn obvious.
I miss her old stuff. So talented.

i hate that the camera guy didn't show her playing the keyboard thanks
+cloudburstlia456 technically there is no keyboard, but agree for camera.
+TheBrainless yes, she was playing a keyboard. musictasting.blogspot.com/2012/03/grimes-dans-silverleaf-denton-good.html
+gundleok what the hell does dude think she's playing? 😕
It's the producer or director that tells the cameramen where to stand and how to shoot.
@@dankmheems290 nobody was directing this
she sounds like magic...
I'm 30 and never in my life fell in love with an artist like this one. Really Like you Claire!
your 38 now and im just turning 30 hello hope your still rocking out to grimes !!!! haha
old ass creepy nigga
I still do
Being real is the key, that's what it's like when you do something from the heart... rather than seeking fame or the money. True artist.
musical genius
My heart will never be, will never see, will never know Oh, heart, and then it falls and then I fall and then I know.
It's always fascinating to watch her play
4:30 almost started playing oblivion aha
Its like watching an artist createing a masterpiece right before your eyes. AMAZING!!!
multitasking at its best!!!

BEST GENESIS LIVE EVER, I LOVE YOU CLAIREEEEE!

4:30 accidentally play oblivion bass line
The different beats fill everything in between
What I really find refreshing about this is that it shows the rare sight of a woman as a performer and a musician here not actually looking like she's doing this for the gaze of the camera, but for herself.
Facking Cool!!!!❤❤❤ I just found this gems now, after 10 years….

haha
AMAZING GIRL!!!
Terrible cameraman.. you missed her hands playing!
HERMOSA n_n
❤️❤️❤️
a talented woman
So much talent ; not enough shown here through the cameraman's lens. Maybe blind, maybe stupid, possibly both ? !
honestly i dont object to said cameraman focusing on her face, think he (or she!) captured a terrific performance for the ages
I love this and I love Legend of Zelda to the person who mentioned it XP !!!
like wow!
Grimes ft CocoRosie that should be just PERFECTION!!!! ^^
raaaaaaaaaaaaaayos amo esa cancion .. maldicion claire xd
IM SMITTEN OVER HERE GENE
Yessssss
8:00
How about Grimes opening for Atoms For Peace on there north American tour..Please? ♥♡★☆
I need the same amount of adder all
Maybe it's cool to add that Grimes uses a vocal pedal (BOSS VE-20) that multiplies her voice as a choir (different notes for each voice and all), and that's probably how she sings that second part - but sometimes she may sing along a pre-recorded voice, I don't discard that.
Regarding the samples, she activates each one each time, if you listen to her first performances you'll see her fucking up some samples and then it becomes clear how it works hehe.
I hope I helped (excelent video!!) cheer
I love her hyperness haha I don't even know if that's a real word
Grimes its Amazing women
great vid! (next time,include filming her messing with the equipment) ^.^
Oh my god, I didn't even think about it. AH!
The vox are heavily filtered too, with that much delay, echo and reverb it doesn't sound "natural". She layers the whole lot using loops as she goes (music and vocals), quite impressive really.
AGREE 100%
she's a genius :S
Nukka, please! Grimes is like, hella-gangsta. _._
I like your sleeves
amo-te
What does she say at the end of the song?
that guy's a legend.
Guy?
the ultimate girl crush perfection package
What did that lady say right before she started singing?
Just the background track, considering she couldn't naturally, or easily, play everything that's mixed together, all at the same time. If that made any sense.
Everything is live, aside from the background track,
and it just repeats itself, basically, throughout the entire song.
Lovex
The musical taste might conflict,
But all in all, the original brilliance of both Grimes and CoCo;
Would make me cream if combined.
a yo tambem!
