Kutiman tunes in

Kutiman  is Israeli musician Ophir Kutiel, who popped up in Nick D's TV show Making Tracks in the episode on Tel Aviv and that city's thriving music scene. Hes most well known for some amazing video mashups he did lifting musicians from youtube clips and chopping them together.

" What really makes Kutiman unique is his abhorrence of commercial recording; his samples hail from virtual unknowns and his work is distributed for free on the web. That's not to say that Thru-You is just some exercise in artistic egalitarian humanism. Kutiman's stubborn devotion to amateur YouTube artists would only amount to so much branded gimmickry if he were not remarkably adept at making exhilarating crazy-quilts from his dozens of moving parts."
