Vance Perry: Cover of "Down" by Jay Sean
It is clear that Vance Perry has lots of fun working on his multi-track videos, so this is a well earned feature on AudioQuilts. It seems that Perry relies somewhat heavily on a voice modulation program, such as Auto-Tune or Melodyne. We are inclined to suspect that he uses this for pitch correction, but whether that is correct or not does not matter, as it works for him and adds a catchy effect to his voice, especially in this particular song.
It is clear that Perry puts much time and work into each video he does, while maintaining a very homemade feel to his videos, which is charming and seems to work well for him. Shout out to who would appear to be his kids in this video too - it is cool that their dad is not afraid to put stuff out there, and that they aren't either!

Foreplay/Long Time (Jon's One Man Band Boston Cover)
This is unreal. The instruments and vocals are utterly flawless. We're stunned this doesn't have over a million views. Check out WilfredMumbly on YouTube. I'm going to go eat a brownie.

One Man Band
This video by Connor Verge is pretty decent. At 37 seconds on the bottom right screen he does a beat box freak out which will make you kind of laugh. He reminds me of McLovin. Nice work.

Joe Raciti - "Replay"
Here's one from the vault. This is an Audio Quilt I made a long time ago when I was experimenting with taking a popular song and turning it into a canon. When I went to stitch the video together, the Audio Quilt format seemed to make the most sense. While this isn't as polished a piece as some of the Audio Quilts I am about to be releasing into the world, I hope you will at least find it an interesting thought. And if you would like to download the mp3 for free, click here.

Carlo Castellano - "The Simpsons Theme"
This guy is just too good. It's not fair. Be forewarned, you will feel lazy after watching this video. This guy Carlo Castellano is the real deal. We hope you enjoy this master piece from an up-and-coming Audio Quilter.

Beatles - All my loving - Multitrack Cover by Vinish B.
Here is "All My Loving" originally by the Beatles and performed as an Audio Quilt by a guy who goes by Vinish B. We think the accordion makes the song sound French. What do you think?

Gonzo and the Muppet Chickens: Blue Danube Waltz
With this performance, Gonzo eliminates the long-time debate over who the coolest muppet is. Simply put, Gonzo is awesome. The video editors over at the Muppet Studio are pretty awesome too.

Songsta For Life - "Eleanor Rigby"
Here's an interesting Beatles multitrack by an up-and-coming Audio Quilter who goes by the name "Songsta For Life". He tends toward making team quilts, which impresses us, and has a style that is uniquely his own. We expect to see more of this guy in the future. Enjoy!

Sandman on Kazoo - Mister Tim
What's better than a classic Metallica song from 1991? - A classic Metallica song from 1991 played on kazoos. This Mister Tim fellow is someone who takes the Audio Quilt genre to a new level with a rare combination of musical talent, a unique musical taste, creativity, and intensity. He definitely goes for it in this multitrack cover of Metallica's classis song "Enter Sandman" and we are thrilled to be featuring this awesome video today.

Teenage Dream & Just the way you are - Acapella Cover - Katy Perry - Bruno Mars - Mike Tompkins
The thought of me attempting to cover these songs is hilarious. Mike Tompkins covers this, get millions of views, millions of fans and has no threatened manhood whatsoever! I applaud his confidence... thanks Mike T!

Matt Mulholland - "Daft Punk"
So this guy Matt Mulholland does mostly comedy Audio Quilts. He's pretty tongue in cheek usually but this multitrack for some reason has a more serious vibe to it. Not that we don't like his comedy... we actually find it rather amusing in fact. Still, this particular Audio Quilt caught our attention because it's just straight good. (And besides, who else is covering the likes of Daft Punk in this style?)

Schmoyoho - "Magical Streamy's Website"
You're not going to find much better musical talent out there than the Gregory Brothers. The versatile musicians/comedians, known for their "Auto-Tune the News Series" and viral "Bed Intruder Song" won a much deserved Streamy's Award last year after taking control of the globe like the Brain from Animaniacs could never do. Take a look at this audio quilt that Michael Gregory (a.k.a Shmoyoho) put together with the Streamy's award page. The video/sound editing in this is pure genius.

Pomplamoose - "Aching Heart"
Here's another Audio Quilt hot off the presses. It's as if we had an eerie feeling when we made our last post, right about the time that Pomplamoose was uploading this gem onto YouTube and into the world. You know what I really love about these guys? - The way they are able to consistently squeeze out amazing recordings from just their apartment. It's a testament to their passion, attention to detail, and creativity and we are pleased to make this second post in a row dedicated to the great Pomplamoose. Enjoy.

Pomplamoose - "Ben Folds, Nick Hornby, & Pomplmoose Video Song"
Here's a Team Quilt from some of the most amazing musicians ever to collaborate. Pomplamoose has been exploding on YouTube for a while now and take Audio Quilting to new heights every time they post. You may have noticed that Ben Folds makes an appearance in this video as well. Throw Nick Hornby in there for good measure and you have an Audio Quilting powerhouse.

Shane Stever - "Bed Intruder Song"
You should probably get used to seeing this guy. Not only is he an up-and-coming Audio Quilter with boat loads of talent, he's also going to be in one of our Audio Quilts really soon (stay tuned). The song is a multitrack version of the Gregory Brothers smash viral YouTube hit "Bed Intruder Song" and Shane has even gone to great lengths to recreate some of the original character's outfits. If you have been living under a cave for the last year, you should probably hide your kids and your wife and check out the original version here.

Danny Fong - "Pokemon Theme Song"
We're excited to be writing up our first post on Danny Fong. The quality of his work and music choices are always spot on for maximum enjoyment. He's been carving out a strong following on YouTube for a while now and it's easy to see why. Check out this awesome multitrack version of the Pokemon Theme Song and, if you grew up in the 80's, you might also find his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cover worth a look.

Mike Tompkins FEAT. SHAD - "Only Girl"
Mike Tompkins, a sound engineer from Canada, posted his first multi track video a year ago. 21,943,583 total upload views, 171,000 subscriptions and an appearance on Ellen Degenerous later he is well beyond YouTube celebrity status. At number 4 on the most subscribed Canadian musician list, this guy is making waves, sound waves that is. He also makes me feel lazy and inadequate.

J Rice / Kurt Schneider - "Hold My Hand"
This Audio Quilt is hot off the presses. This is the first Team Quilt we are featuring so we hope you enjoy it. These guys are both fairly well-established YouTube personalities and, as you can tell from the audio and video production quality, quite committed to their craft as well. That professionalism is something we love to see and we are excited to bring you an early look at this gem of an Audio Quilt.

Maria Zouroudis - ("Tik Tok" acapella cover)
I want to be completely honest and let you all know that I did download ke$ha's hit single "tik tok" when it came out on iTunes. The reason why was because i thought it was comical. But is it really funny enough to be in that category or was i just looking for an excuse? This audio quilt is by a popular youtuber that has made a pretty big splash on the internet showing off her work as a singer/pianist. Views of her videos have surpassed 5 million on youtube. She has a nice voice and doesn't try to sound like the artists of the songs she covers. If you want to see her other quilts and a lot of her original work subscribe to her youtube channel MariaZouroudis or check out her website: www.mariazouroudis.com. Those are the biggest hoops i have ever seen!

Naya Marie - "Just Dance"
Naya Marie is one of the most popular female Audio Quilt stitchers out there today. She's got an excellent voice, plenty of confidence, and can navigate her way around a production studio to boot. Her beat-boxing skills account for her being near the top of the list of female Audio Quilters. In some of her other videos, you may also notice that she has an incredible vocal range, reminiscent of Mariah Carey - able to hit notes that a music page can barely hold. We highly recommend subscribing to her YouTube channel, nayamarie2009.
