Israeli Musician Creates Amazing Music by Remixing YouTube

The practice of remixing has been going strong in the music industry for ages, and, over the years, artists like Girl Talk and DJ Shadow have elevated the act to an art form. But, we guarantee you've never seen a remix quite like this before. Artist Kutiman, a funk practitioner from Israel, has created a project called ThruYOU, in which he cunningly weaves a selection of videos from YouTube in a way that will blow your mind.

His favorite targets seem to be videos of people teaching others how to play the guitar, bass, piano, or drums that he splices together to create seven wholly new creations that are universally captivating. However, there's one rather unfortunate side to this story; his site was so popular that he's had to take it offline. The original link, http://thru-you.com/, is now just a rather boring page of text, but his files have been re-hosted elsewhere. You can find some links here, and while the download is large, it's worth it if you can't wait for the real thing to get back online. Regardless, you won't want to miss hearing and seeing this project! [From: ThruYOU]
