I first heard Andrew Bird on NPR over a year ago, and I was struck by how beautiful his music is, how refreshing it was to hear whistling and a plucked violin.
But after the NPR piece was over and my life reclaimed my attention I forgot about Andrew Bird, until, thankfully, a student employee I supervise mentioned how his favorite Pandora station is built on Andrew Bird.
Wow. The guy is a true mad genius.
In today’s Video Fridays installment, Andrew builds a song with a violin, guitar, whistling, and vocals using a loop machine in a stunning one-man-band performance.
Enjoy!

I loved this.. especially the bit towards the end.. thanks for sharing.
I would love to be called a mad genius–people would probably leave me alone then – ha ha
