Darren Foreman (born 14 May 1982), also known as Beardyman, is a British multivocalist, singer, and actor best known for his live looping and beatboxing.
Early life
Foreman, a pupil at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School for Boys in Barnet, Barnet, migrated to Brighton in 2001 to study at the University of Sussex. Despite making noises at the age of three by imitating Michael Winslow from the Police Academy movie series, it was seeing Rahzel live that convinced Foreman that beatboxing could be more than simply give interludes within the context of a larger story. At the age of ten, Beardyman's first musical venture was to compose a symphony for his school orchestra. An introduction to drum and bass at fifteen sparked his long-awaited interest in music technology. Darren was given the nickname "beardyman" because a name was quickly needed for a flyer in an early display, and he had a beard at the time.
He is the brother of comedian and YouTuber Jay Foreman, with whom he also performs onstage.
Career
In 2006, Beardyman defeated David Lloyd to win the UK Beatbox Champion and defended his position in 2007, making him the first beatboxer in the United Kingdom to win two championships in a row. He was on the 2008 judging committee.
Beardyman, a versatile solo beatboxer in the modern age, was inspired by MC Xander to loop and sample his vocals by using music devices such as the Korg Kaoss Pad 3. He effectively produces complete DJ sets via live broadcasting—both covers of well-known hits and his own original material) are created live from his vocalizations.
His music often includes elements of drum and bass, dubstep, breakbeat, trance, techno, and other common forms of experimental dance music. He also incorporates other genres of music into his live sets, including but not limited to reggae and country music, often for the purpose of providing a comedic counterpoint to his beatboxing. Virtually all of his music is produced using only his mouth and vocal cords to produce sounds, and by using music technologies such as vocoders and software synthesis to change his voice's pitch or add various types of audio effects such as delays, reverbs, or modulation effects, his voice can be generated. Multiple pieces of electronic equipment can be seen in various YouTube videos, including the Korg Kaossilator Pro (also known as the KP3)), a Korg Wavedrum, a microKORG, a Boss GT-8, and a Boss RC-50.
Beardyman's debut album I Done a Album was released on March 21, 2011. It was a departure from his previous live performances.
He has foregone the use of Kaoss Pads in favour of proprietary applications he has been designing, the Beardytron 5000 MkIII. "I have been working on the device for the past three years, assisting its installation and testing, as well as designing and describing it." I had no choice but to install new off the shelf gear, existing apps, or even cobbled together patches using freeware. The system is essentially my life's work and will continue to be what I use for all my future endeavors. The Beardytron 5000 mkII is a work in progress, and at some point you'll be able to buy some sort of looper/production-system based on the latest advances that have been used to make my shows possible."
"The system is designed from the ground up in C++ and Objective-C by Dave Gamble of DMGAudio and employs 15 cases and counting for a partially custom built-into-effect 'Turnado', a remarkable linear-8-way-engine controlled multi-effects. Along with Rob Papen's postponement, the guitar rig is also used. The device is managed by two iPads running custom applications on a specially designed high-reconnecting protocol.
Beardyman performed in Pune, India, on November 29, 2012, the first live gig to exclusively use the Beardytron 5000 MkII. The Beardytron 5000 MkII software will be available for purchase by the public sometime in 2014. Beardyman delivered a talk at a TED conference on February 28, 2013, an 11-minute preview and a demonstration of the Beardytron 5000 MkII. He gives an example of some of the sounds he can make from only his vocal cords, including screaming babies, vinyl record scratching, buzzing flies, overtone singing, various animals, a didgeridoo, and beatboxing before demonstrating the Beardytron 5000. Despite his ability to produce sounds, the human voice is nevertheless limited by its physical and biological characteristics. His invention is described as a real-time music production machine by the composer. "It helps me to make music in real time as I hear it in my head, unimpeded by any physical restrictions my body places on me." On August 2, 2013, the video was posted on the TED.com website, the TEDTalks YouTube channel, and Beardyman's website.
His interest in discovering new musical technologies is also evident in his lively Battlejam club nights, which he co-hosts with 2007 DMC champion turntablist JFB. Live looping technology is enhanced with live sampling of the audience to make the hook of instantly composed songs and even live video sampling and scratching.
He has performed and recorded with MC Klumzy Tung as part of the MC/beatbox duo The Gobfathers. They appeared in 'The Freestyle Showdown,' on television in 2005, and then in a hidden camera show on E4.
