alberto balsalm chair cover (aphex twin) 

thx for all the comments you funny little men, already thinking about new ideas meanwhile, if any of you want you can follow my art ig @pakique i'm not the best (not even close), but i'm trying to get somewhere

this chair is perfectly tuned

i would pay money to see someone play this in front of an audience

99% preparation, 1% execution. Hilarious

Now this is what I like to see in my RU-vid recommended

I love that his body language is indistinguishable from the one of a focused performer.

Love the paper set gently over the chair. Really changes the acoustics and gives it a deep, chairy sound.

It took 27 years for someone to perform Alberto Balsam properly.

Can you share your setup? What acoustic chair model is this?

This is literally my neighbors above every day

2:40 bro u had me for a sec

I can only assume that you were first chair of your section during band class

It’s so inspiring to watch a maestro play their instrument 🔥

Don't know why but I laughed at literally every chair scoot.

This song always made me think of slipping and falling in a bathtub

Hey. Thank you for making an old Aphex Twin fan smile. This is very clever.

plot twist, this is Richard

now alberto balsalm is gonna start playing in my head each time I slide a chair awesome lmao

My dad has always said about how he would love to see someone do this for fun. I'll show this to him, thank you!

thgis song has the most emotional sounding chair

This is the thing i've always searched for... thank you for this masterpiece

2:37 my favourite part

Best Aphex Twin cover on youtube

This is genuinely impressive though honestly, doing this for 5 minutes and hitting every cue isn't easy

I love how he prepares himself before executing the scooting of the chair.

I'm going to chair-ish this moment forever

So this is what people mean when they say they play "musical chairs".

Never thought about placing my music sheet on the chair’s seat like you do. Great inspiration for a beginner chair player, thank you for sharing

You are as a player on a triangle, very rarely needed, but important.

How does this not have more views?? A classic.

Were you rushing, or were you dragging?

Richard is crying tears of joy

that's peak chair performance, look how he positioned himself into a stance before playing a note from the instrument

it's beautiful how this instrument also has a builtin sheet music stand

Its important to stay limber while playing the chair, as one could easily fatally injure themselves or others.

Your dedication to the artform has not gone unnoticed. I salute your masterful rendition.

I just started learning how to play chair, I can tell you have been playing for years! Your playing is so natural and confident. I'm hoping one day I will learn to play chair well enough for a live performance.

3:40-3:47 are the best acts of the performance

There's nothing like recreating Aphex tracks with home appliences/ furniture. Well done lol!! 👍🏿

“...Here I come to save the day!” Not even Kaufman walked off stage during his bit like this.

This is a mfing masterpiece, The absolute peak of human evolution

I keep returning to this vid when I'm down

Always thought that sample in the song was a chair being moved on the floor! Glad I’m not the only one.

i lost it at 2:40

Do you think he walks into music classes and yells out "ALRIGHT, I'm gonna play you something fantastic, take a seat"

im dying. this is amazing

Imagine this is your introduction to Aphex Twin, thank you RU-vid gods

00:42 really good timing on that one

It's really important you put your leading foot forward whilst leaning into the pull so as to ensure you're utilizing the chair's maximum capabilities, this is something that most chair enthusiasts misunderstand when attempting to play such a difficult song. This is a beautiful rendition of a difficult song played by an equally as difficult musical instrument.

Why i laughed every time he pushed the chair? If i show this to any person and laugh, they will think i'm crazy.

This is the best thing I have ever seen on the internet.

I laughed my ass off, this is just so perfect

I love people. Thank you for this masterpiece

A bold interpretation. I give you a standing ovation.

25 years this sound has been in our heads, thank you for this.

Please share the tabs or sheet music for this thanks

This guy is going places. What a genius :)

I've been recommended hundreds of these by now and this is easily the best one

The walk away into that stance at 3:27 was so powerful wheeeeww

We all really sat down and watched a grown ass man for 5 minutes to eventually scrape his chair against the floor with the beat. I love you all

tip: if you ever listen to this song in a car, you can make the sound with your finger on the window. having a can to tap on makes it even more immersive.

bro those powers stances were insane!!

I always thought it sounded like the metal laundry chute in my house growing up. Specifically when a huge pile of clothes went down, creating a suction and causing the sides to warp

OMG first one actually sounded like the original one, what a brilliant cover!

Going straight to my Covers favourites, brilliant lol.

I watched this while changing my clothes and now I’m laughing the shit out on bed only wearing my underwear. Quality content, best cover.

All jokes aside, that's often resulting in a very cool and fitting and analogue sound.

I love coming back to this

i just so much appreciate this video. im in such good mood now

such talent, much performance, wow

Dude, we just all sit here and smile in front of your performance.

Watching him re-adjust the chair is the funniest thing ever

how long have you been playing chair?

2:39 psyyyyyyycccchhh was my favorite of them all.

I've been searching everywhere how to play this. Thank you so much

Imagine you're his neighbor and also Aphex Twin fan

One of the best rendition of Aphex Twin songs.

this brings back amazing memories from a sleepover i had about 2 years ago with a couple of buddies in high school where we played this game where we had cups, or any movable object, and we put on alberto balsam and we had to move it to that exact sound, it was suprisingly hard but fucking hilarious , i really miss those days.

I’ll never forget when my brother told me it sounded like a chair. I’m so glad I got this on my recommendations. YOU ACTUALLY DONE IT 💯 I DIED

Yes, very accurate intonation and rhythm, flawless

Well done! Unbelievable that you found the exact sample, nothing like oak!

The set and setting of it all is a bizarre work of art. Even to the late 90's land line.

this is so underrated

This guy's good, I bet he'd get 100% for this song on Chair Hero

This is the best thing I have ever seen in my life. It it so accurate

Surely Richard James appreciates this

Would love to see an electric chair cover.

O preço da cadeira é o que menos importa. O que fica muito nítido nesse vídeo é a pegada do cadeirista, tocando com muito feeling, imprimindo toda a sua emoção na música e tirando o melhor timbre do instrumento. Parabéns!

Whole new meaning to musical chairs

oh shit, finally... after too much years... Alberto Chairsalm

Absolute genius. Was always my favourite instrument in this song. I can just imagine the dinner parties where you say how proud you are of your child who is a chair player in the orchestra.

A true masterpiece cover

People love this song so much - first they made covers of it with chairs now they replace the scoot with wet farts and meme sounds That’s true appreciation though

0:37 best part

This made my day. Thank you. Great cover!

Thank you. My grandma used to sing this to me when I was a young lad. Fly high grandma 🕊️

2:39 sike got me dead broooo😂😂 💀 💀

Someone needs to get this in front of Richard D. James. He needs to see/hear this.

It’s as if the RU-vid Algorithm began interpreting my innermost thoughts and displaying them via suggestions.

3:20 and the following chair part is super nice
