I recommend some decent openback headphones for horikawa’s music. Even with some cheapo Koss kph30i you’ll be teleported into his dreamscapes.

A Genius

4:10 floor is lava

amazing....

Genius.

Horikawa is truly inspiring. Thank you for this, very insightful!

He is like a sweet hearted, sunrise loving, distant cousin of Amon Tobin...

Hi whoever curates this YouTube account, could you please change the title to "DIY" instead of "DYI", the description is correct

they have the same meaning

Seen this plenty of times now, and it grows on me every time. Wizardry!

Pure genius who loves his work and the sounds around him. Definitely doesn't look like a guy who'd drink Red Bull or anything while performing. Come on Red Bull, we know you made the documentary happen, brand placement in performances was needless.

super creative, i love it man

Its spelled DIY not DYI

DYI? Do yourself in? Daily Yoga instructions? I think you meant DIY.

Youtube audio quality does not do this man justice.

I love Yosi's music so much. It really takes you out of this world.

People who make music like this are wasted on the likes of the current era audio listeners wearing airpods and tws.

@Rynne just like stereoscopic audio in general you know. There's plenty of music out there with big sound stage, imaging and instrument separation.

I don't think people who solely use TWS stuff know who Yosi is lmao.

@karstdeviz From all the TWS buds ive heard the sound stage is horrible and super close to the head, im certain that people that wear TWS buds have no understanding on wide and directional his songs are supposed to sound.

I am a teenager (15) and listen to Yosi with studio headphones. I feel like you can still appreciate his music with bluetooth headphones though, as long as the white noise isn't too bad. I mean the Airpods pro are great. I usually am a Apple hater, but can't deny that they are quite good.

Last track ID someone!! Yosi you are the man

This guy is simply a genius and deserves so much more fame in the music scene!

Yup, I'm shocked I never heard of him for almost a decade and now I can truly appreciate how great his sound is. Simply magnificent artist.

Wow

I rather enjoyed this.

amazing

Unbelievable 👏👏👏

Pre-order for his new album is up on bandcamp with one track up as a preview!

stoned

Using waterfall as riser tho

Lmao the product placement in the performance scene

we want yoggo on spotify :)

Just beautiful music!

とてもよかったです。

This guy is cool.

I hope this means new music soon!

Not sure about that. This documentary was made in 2014 and uploaded to the Red Bull website. They put this up on youtube only recently.

love this

I highly recommend his album. "Bump" is such a terrific song!

Yup hearing it now.

I bought his whole discog

I agree!! Absolute treat listening to that track.

Had the opportunity of talk with him and take a photo together in Liquid Room when I was studying in Tokyo. Such a nice and humble guy!

Lucky. As someone from midwest America I would love to speak to anyone from Asia, especially an Asian of such dedication and passion in their and personal pursuits, like Yosi

Why would you use 4 microphones located in one position? Wouldn't it be better to have 4 microphones on different tri-pods pointing at a center in a square position? I am just starting to learn about sound, so this may sound obtuse.

I believe he was trying to capture the 360 deg. sounds as they would hit a person's ears- from one point of view- the listener. The interesting thing about recording anything is that experimentation often leads to new valid techniques and sound signatures.

Good question! I don't think it's the exact technique he's using, but look up 'ambisonic' sound. A first order ambisonic microphone (which is comprised of 4 mic capsules) allows for the recording of 360 degree audio in 3 axes. Think of capturing the entire sound of a space, rather than just a single focused sound.

B roll in this is excellent! Nice job

This was amazing. Very inspiring. Great job!:)

Very nice

great job wd gg

Reminds me a lot of what Matmos and Björk were doing years ago on Homogenic. This is wonderful.

最高。惹かれた！

#EARTHMUSIC

Very well done and compelling. Meaningful creative process. Yosi and American producer, Ross Lara could collaborate well. Similar process intertwining adventure and music making.

Idk why I felt like I was watching Jun Seba. This guy is amazing. Keep doing awesome music Yosi!

Both are Japanese maybe thats why

Same

Wow Dude that Was Sick❤️psylove+vibes

That was quite interesting. What gear was used to record the sounds?

and the headphones, Sennheiser HD 25-1 II

Correct, his mics and speakers are selfmade. The recorder he's using (you can see it for example at 1:18 ) is the "Tascam DR-680", meanwhile there's a newer MK2 version of it. The DAW he's using in the studio is "Avid Pro Tools". The live mixing tool is the discontinued "Novation Remote ZeRO SL MkII". But the mastermind behind this great music is Yosi Horikawa himself ;)

Looks like he made the mics himself.

ชอบมากเลย เป็นเสียงธรรมชาติมากครับ สุดยอด!!!!
