"Hyperballad" (Björk) Tom Barton live vocal looping 

My weave fell off the cliff with all of the cutlery.

I cant believe it took me 12 years to reach this. THIS IS AMAZING!!!

No, like seriously Bjork needs to hear this.

Sometimes life makes sense, a least for 9 minutes and 36 seconds. Grateful for the fact that a moment of feeling down brought me here.

still the best cover of this song. really has a grip of the real spirit of this song and makes it its own. a real connection.

@ZaccyVideo Hi, thanks for the comments. The gear is all outboard, so no DAW/ computer involved. The main piece is the looper: a Gibson (Oberheim) Echoplex Digital Pro Plus. The other effects are reverb, delay and an octave pedal, which are all switched in/ out with a digital switching box. The mic is input to a preamp, which routes through a box that makes the signal a suitable impedance for the guitar FX units. There's more info on the blog of the website in the video description.

It sounds like radiohead song.

Björk is feeling very proud of you right now!!! I surely am.... Amazing!!! Congratulations......

Hoooooly crap, you totally captured the essence of this song, truly amazing emotion, yes Bjork really, really needs to hear this!

I keep coming back to this performance, year after year after year. It is a-maz-ing!

This is one of the most beautiful covers I've ever heard

So perfect, The voice, Music ... Ciao from sicily

Bjork is proud I'm sure!! You betta sing it boy this is So great!!!

This gives me such a bliss. It's kinda transcendental. Thank you so much! I feel chills and have tears down my face. 💎

Wanna learn to do this! Great!

Fascinating watching you build layer on layer - great job !

amazing speechless unique in.awe

I can't get over how lovely this is. This has been one of my favorite songs since it was first takes. Exquisitely done.

It is truly so beautiful to see you hear you seeing you understand it all. Bjork truly is inspirational isn't she..... : ) You have done a lively job. It truly takes alot of lil details to make the sounds... This made me so emotional... Sound has such beauty.. Thank God all powerful.

GENIUS!

Absolutely stunning. I really like the ad-lib at the beginning too.

Just beginning my ascent into a Björk obsession, and I have to say you made a song that I already love even more awesome, ten years earlier than I would’ve been aware of it. Your final notes are extremely reminiscent of the score from the movie ‘Arrival’ which I think is awesome too.

That's beautiful! Amazing job, man!

Thanks for sharing, Tom. A really beautiful interpretation of a great song!

amazing stuff

A beautiful and simple homage. Very lovely.

how can someone dislike this it's truly gorgeous!;-) i love people making their own versions and living in the present. x :-)

AMAZING!!!!

This Is truly amazing and wildly inspiring. Thanks you so much for sharing this!

One cover of Bjork song that make me crying, why you did such beautiful arrangement of vocal looping, it was so touchable, you did it so neat

Só digo uma coisa, interpreta Bjork não é pra qualquer um.

OMG why im listening this now?!?! A TRULY COVER ONE OF THE BEST I EVER HEARD!

Honestly, Tom... yours is a simply beautiful rendition of one of my favourite Bjork tracks. I heard this on Sound Quality. Great stuff!

Never thought anyone could do justice to that song, I was so wrong! Thank you, Sir, for my life's been much brighter tonight.

absolutely beautiful.

this was really great. so glad it was recommended to me. real emotional depth to this performance.

You´re amazing. I felt like I´m standing on the top of mountain, feeling sunlight on my face, brathing fresh air, breath, exhalation, breath, exhalation and than jump down. I was falling for beautiful ten minutes feeling the air in my wide open nostrils, but when I met a ground, it didn´t hurt. I wanted to experince it again like I wanted to hear this cover again.

absolutely love this!

an emotional and beautiful cover so worthy of the original. love to you and this work.

This is one of the most incredible things. I just got a looper, and I was looking for some videos to help me start out with vocal looping, but wow. This is incredible. You, sir, are a god among men.

By far the best cover of this amazing song I've ever heard.

Fantastic work Tom! Glad to see your still kicking arse with your music mate.

Hey, good job, man! It's rare I appreciate covers of Bjork, but that was impressive. You made the song justice with your sense of musicality and clearly your love for her. It gave me chills!
