The Ultimate YouTube Mashup Video

This song from Israel-based artist Kutiman is called “Give It Up” and includes more than 20 different clips from amateur artists playing the bassoon, piano and cello as well as featuring an acapella singer.  In his official YouTube page, Kutiman cites his sources and it’s worth clicking on the original works just to see how much effort goes into creating an original piece of music. 

The music is also a worthwhile listen!

Kutiman first became famous for pioneering this type of YouTube video mashup with “ThruYou”.

Apparently, making this type of music is painfully time consuming.

According to a Billboard article from September 2014: “In the past year, Kutiman decided to start working on ThruYou Too, which he estimates took him about three or four months to put together. ‘I open 20 tabs of bass players and see if something sounds like it works,’ he says. ‘It’s just searching for improvisation or whatever. If I have free time I just sit and watch YouTube. if I’m looking for a guitar player, eventually I’ll find myself watching people playing guitars for the rest of the night.’”
