Michael Meets Mozart - The Piano Guys

Uploaded On:  Thursday August 30, 2018

On the recording of this original song, cellist Steven Sharp Nelson laid down over 100 tracks, including cello textures never known possible. Every sound on the video was made using only the instruments shown: piano, cello, mouth percussion and kick drum. The deep bass drum sound is a bump on the body of the cello with a little help from some effects. The shaker sound was created by Steve rubbing rosin on his bow. The record scratch is Steve scratching a quarter on the strings, and Jon tries to do his best impersonation of "The King of Pop" himself, Michael Jackson, with an impromptu scream... You have to see it to believe it! This video was filmed at The Muse in Provo, Utah.
