The Many Colors Of Kutiman; Or – Why The Man Is A Genius

Mar 23, 2011, 4:49am Small Town Romance

When I was young, I admired my musical heroes, naturally. I thought it was because of their ability to hit a drum, strum a chord, or play the fastest bass line, or in short - their technique. Over the years I've realized, that the musicians I kept on admiring, after my wonder years were gone, were [...]

[VIDEO] Kutiman – My Favorite Color

Mar 21, 2011, 7:58am Loudersoft

Never ceasing to amaze and fascinate, Kutiman (whose groundbreaking Thru-You video album was chosen by Time Magazine as One of the 50 Best Inventions of 2009 ) has returned with another video in the vein of the Thru-You series. Digging on an even deeper level, he returns to form with this new song entitled "My Favorite Color". This bit of smoothed-out jazz is in a class of its own, furthering the mystique that Kutiman has helped to generate in a class of his own. Kutiman - My Favorite Color

Kutiman's prodigious ThruYOU named one of Time Magazine's 50 Best Inventions of 2009.

Nov 17, 2009, 8:04am Loudersoft

If you take a look at the recently-published list of Time Magazine's "50 Best Inventions of 20093 , you will find many technologically significant inventions - NASA's missles, a racing car made entirely out of food, and even a human-powered vending machine. Among these inventions, a surprising (and deserved) addition has appeared: the YouTube remix projects of Israeli musician & composer Kutiman as seen in his prodigious website, ThruYOU . ThruYOU, completed in just two months time, is a sweeping work of musical "found [...]

Kutiman changes the game with THRU YOU | Remixing YouTube

( Editor's note: this originally appeared on Loudersoft on 4 March 2009. I've updated the post to include MP3's of the tracks so that, hopefully, it will pull people from MP3 search engines to discover Kutiman and his site. It's definitely my favorite website of 2009 and, without a doubt, one of my favorite experiences of the past decade.) Perennial Loudersoft favorite (and Israeli soul brother extraordinaire) Kutiman has changed the game up inna massive style with http://thru-you.com - wherein he takes pieces of videos from [...]

Culture Club April Fools Edition

Apr 1, 2009, 8:26pm Cities of the Plain

(images via WC ) Zimbabwe's economy is in dire straits and a local newspaper is making their displeasure known, wallpapering billboards and walls with their devalued currency and using it as advertising for their website. Good evening, everybody. A mildly belated Culture Club for y'all today, coming from my house, which, after a LONG delay, has internet. After an hour of chilling on wifi, I'm not sure how I made it this long. Let's get to it. The internet has taken April Fool's Day to a [...]

ThruYou's Musical Medium Is, Uh, Everything. And So Is Its Message

Apr 1, 2009, 4:30pm Spinner.com

Filed under: Around the World The road to the global village runs through you. Well, ThruYou . The latest YouTube phenomenon, ThruYou is the work of Kutiman , an Israeli musician and producer who's been putting out his own sample-driven music, which he describes as "funk/Afrobeat/psychedelic." For this project, though, he's been diligently combing cyberspace for homemade music projects, grouping together ones that seem to have some compatible or complementary elements and then layering/cutting them into amalgam "songs." It's the Net equivalent, perhaps, of finding that [...]

Kutiman - Video Mashup Genius

Mar 26, 2009, 1:24pm Our Kitchen Sink

Ophir Kutiel, a.k.a. Kutiman, released seven videos by mixing and matching found footage on the web to create his own music project entitled ThruYou . The result is beyond belief. The videos Kutiman used to create ThruYou are mostly low-budget recordings of amateur musicians playing at home or taking music lessons. Kutiman cut the performances together so that the musicians appear to be playing together in real time - with truly astonishing results. I lost track of night and day. I'd just pass out and wake up on the computer. I was [...]

THRU YOU: YOUTUBE REMIXED

Mar 12, 2009, 12:41pm Quiet Color

by reggie Like The Avalanches or Girl Talk , Kutiman makes something whole out of parts, something that transcends its source material to offer a new artistic expression. What makes this different is the medium, which in turn changes the message. Girl Talk or The Avalanches sample bits and pieces of popular music, creating a sort of spot-the-sample game that comments on our fascination with popular culture commercial music. When Kutiman samples, say, a mother with a [...]

Kutiman ThruYou - Mother of All Funk Chords (remixes YouTube)

Mar 10, 2009, 3:28pm Le Choix de Mlle Eddie

Là on tient un des prétendants au titre de l'idée de l'année, qui n'est pas forcément nouvelle, mais cette fois elle est réalisée avec un talent tout bonnement impressionnant. Kutiman est un musicien israélien de 27 ans, multi-instrumentaliste, mais qui cette fois s'est servi de toutes les vidéos postées par des musiciens amateurs pour en faire des morceaux complets, 7 exactement, et celui du haut est le premier d'entre eux. Je trouve ça particulièrement émouvant. Prises une par une, ces vidéos sont pas forcément terribles, mais mixées ensemble avec l'ingéniosité de Kutiman, ça devient quelque chose [...]

Offene Ohren, Aufgerissene Augen! Das beste Web 2.0 Kultur-Mashup weit und breit!

Mar 5, 2009, 12:06pm Phlow: Magazin für Musik und Netzkultur

Thru You, Web 2.0, Kultur, Mashup, Netzkunst | Mit seinem Projekt "Thru You" hebt sich der Künstler Kutiman in den Kutltur-Mashup-Himmel. Aus zahllosen Musik-Videoclips, die er auf YouTube & Co. zusammengesucht hat, komponierte der israelischer Funk-Musiker neue Musikstücke. Kunstvoll und einzigartig schnitt Kutiman dabei die Musiker aus aller Welt zusammen. Vom asiatischen Bengel mit Trompete über einen Mundharmonika blasenden Musiker bis zum schmooven Jazz-Drummer komponierte und kombinierte Kutiman Musik aus aller Welt. Die Instrumentalisten castete er im wahrsten Sinne selbst auf YouTube. Aber seht selbst! [...]

Kutiman changes the game with THRU YOU | Remixing YouTube

Mar 4, 2009, 4:58pm Loudersoft

Perennial Loudersoft favorite (and Israeli soul brother extraordinaire) Kutiman has changed the game up inna massive style with http://thru-you.com - wherein he takes pieces of videos from YouTube and remixes them. He completely re-arranges them to make new songs, much like the late great J. Dilla was known to do, except (unlike other Dilla copy-catters) Kutiman's ingenious idea to use YouTube footage is solidly game-changing. Others may have attempted something like this, but I certainly haven't seen it done with this depth or this well. Get there and [...]
