TEDxWaterloo - Ben Grossman - Improvisational Experimental Music 

Should have given you more time, Ben. It's nice to see someone presenting the instrument so articulately to this kind of audience. Just wish there were more.

Ben...great to see you here! I could listen to you play and talk for hours. You really are the master of this wonderful and strange instrument. I wish you had more time in this presentation. However I did learn more about that odd box than when working with you back in the Besharah days. Cheers!

never seen or heard of one before. but it sure is incredible!

It sounded awesome. TED never ceases to amaze me

Wonderfully eloquent talk and beautiful playing, as usual, BG!

" new music and the avant garde have very very deep rewards to us " awesome

Ya Ben, it's great to see you on here! (Zak)

Love this.

Really awesome

Hey thanks for clearing that up, not like he didn't call it a hurdy gurdy at 7:30 or anything. Pretty sure he's on TED for the weird sounds he's making with it, not the sounds of olden time you seem to be looking for LOL!

awesome Ben

I want one so bad!

Wonderful! How does he get the glissando (sliding) effect?

If anyone saw the unleaded zeppelin video plant uses this in a tune, a hurdy gurdy. a different way to play it.

shared to #HGWeekly :)

He explained it very interesting but the time was so short. That's a shame...

Rock on! :-)

to me it sounds like a big orchestra in which all tuning thier instrument at the same time at full volume haha

6:12 Not obligatory. . He said try to understand. You can't try to understand you either understand or not. It is not possible to force understanding. . It comes to the individual freely without obligation or any wish. . . o0o

reminds me of the whamola, google it :)
