Mike Silverman (a.k.a. That 1 Guy) may have started as a classically trained bassist, but with his creation of the beautiful monstrosity that is The Magic Pipe, he has entered weirdly wonderful, deliciously uncharted territory. Seven feet of galvanized steel and hardware store trinkets, the metallic, one-stringed instrument is brought to life by an array of electronic gadgets. Silverman claims the pipe, "not only has a limitless harmonic and sonic range, but limitless rhythmic possibilities as well." When That 1 Guy performs live, his imagination is what truly seems limitless. On top of his infectious, innovative style, the artist throws more avant-garde treats into the mix, like impassioned Whodini covers and electrified cowboy boots.
