Backwards Piano cover of "Clocks"

Featured Replies

I just stumbled upon this kinda freaky cover:

I thought you might be interested! :lol:

Should I put a warning in my first post? :laugh3::lol:

Meh, I'll be impressed if he can play something a bit more challenging. Bohemian Rhapsody backwards would be awesome.

I was expecting him to play the song backwards, not to play the song backwards :|

I tried myself to do that and now my shoulders hurt :|

:D I do that with my arms all the time without thinking about it and it freaks people out. I never really thought it was weird, but seeing this guys do it makes me see why people are grossed out...

Arm-bending pianist becomes online hit (Clocks cover video)

 

Watch: Pianist Evan Petrone bends arms backwards to play Coldplay's Clocks

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEpkH_viH7A]Backwards Piano! - YouTube[/ame]

 

A US student has become an online hit after realising a rare genetic condition means he can play the piano while facing away from the keys.

 

Evan Petrone has the ligament-loosening disorder Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Hypermobility Type) which means he can bend his limbs in all sorts of odd directions. Given he is also an accomplished pianist he decided to combine the two and play the piano backwards by rotating his shoulders out of socket and sitting facing away from the instrument.

 

His reverse rendition of Clocks by Coldplay has already become a hit on YouTube where it's been viewed more than 300,000 times… imagine the views if he'd picked a better song.

 

Speaking about the video Evan said: "I know this is splattered with wrong notes and edits, it's more meant to showcase the trick rather than exhibit musical talent. I can't reach the pedals with my legs backwards, so that kind of ruins the song a bit. Trust me, I'm much better when I'm actually facing the keys."
