"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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

It sounds like radiohead song.

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. 💎

amazing speechless unique in.awe

Fascinating watching you build layer on layer - great job !

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.

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.

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

A beautiful and simple homage. Very lovely.

That's beautiful! Amazing job, man!

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

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.

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

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

GENIUS!

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

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.

Beautiful in so many senses ♡

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

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

After 11 years, still the best cover of this amazing song.

The harmony is amazing.

okay, I must take a (long) breath and play rewind at least 5 times -I'll be back in a moments time. Huge Luv- Velvetdress

perfect!!

Absolutely MINDBLOWING

@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.

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!

Gorgeous

Wonderful! So glad to have discovered this! Congratulations Tom! Not easy to cover this song in a fresh way.

one of the best things i ever heard

AMazing! amazing the firts cover the i love!

this is a great video

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

This is so awesome. Inspiring.

So beautiful...feeling the song and soul.

Magical!!

everything about this is what Bjork is all about. The choice to not focus on doing a straight up cover, and hitting all her notes and dynamics. Instead you chose restraint and instinct. And then the looping! This is what makes Bjork a true artist, the way she can be interpreted. Cheers, cioa bella, salutations, respect. you are special and talented and creative.

Cover lindo, parabéns

Astonishing, lovely reimagining - Bravo!

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

I loved it, congrats from Argentina! I`m adding this to favorite :)

It is so difficult (for me) to like anything Bjork not song by her, but this is great.
