Sound and Silence: A Beatboxer’s Love Affair With Music | Tom Thum | TEDxGateway


World renowned beatboxer Tom Thum takes you on a journey through sound. With shades of driving drums, stomach churning bass, deafening silence and soulful pitch perfect vocals, Tom invites his audience to explore the sordid love affair. This musical phenomenon showcases that what makes him whole, his music.

Climaxing in his own personal ode to silence, Tom unveils the newest piece in his arsenal, the gorgeous “Love has left here”. Not only showing his amazing ability to carve lush, emotion inducing arrangements through nothing more than the textures in his throat, it’s his unprecedented ability as a singer that is the real show stopper.
It’s been said many times that Beat Boxer Tom Thum appears to have not only a symphony orchestra but also a jazz band, techno DJ, 80’s synth pop group and collection of exotic world instruments all residing somewhere in his throat.

Propelled to Internet stardom with his 2013 TEDx performance at the Sydney Opera House, Tom’s 15 minute showcase quickly became the highest viewed TEDx video of all time with over 70 million views and counting. Now recognised worldwide for his obscure talent to warp and manipulate his vocal chords, Tom Thum provides confirmation to his audience that there is no sound he cannot mimic to perfection. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
