That 1 Guy

That 1 Guy is the stage name of Mike Silverman, a former jazz bassist who plays an instrument of his own invention, which he calls the Magic Pipe. In actuality it is a collection of pipes, attached together in the rough shape of a harp with one two strings, running its length. He augments this electronically while also playing kick drums and triggers. The result is something that could be described as a modern one man band.

His new album is The Moon is Disgusting, which is about as absurd and infectious as one could hope for. These clips of Silverman performing live gives you a much better indication of how his Magic Pipe operates.
