Imagine a machine that can let you record and mix music in real time – one that will enable musicians to get down the ideas in their head instantly, with no filter between the germs of a song and hearing it come alive straight away. Imagine the fevered genius capable of building such a perfect musical aid. Meet the BEARDYTRON_5000mkIV (Beardytron). And meet its creator…Beardyman, whose performances have been viewed over 60 million times on YouTube alone with improvisation being at the heart of the creative process.

After winning the UK Beatboxing Championship twice in a row, Beardyman aka Darren Foreman ploughed headlong into the swirling vortex of musical and technological experimentation to create beats never heard or experienced before.

Using looping technology and a huge range of music genres, virtually all of his music is created using only his to produce an incredible show. He has played mainstages and packed out rooms the world over.
