Yuri Lane uses his lips, nose , teeth and throat to produce hipnotic beats and multiphonic tones, including the original beatbox harmonica

notes

“You've never seen more complex -- and more rhythmically independent -- sounds emerge simultaneously from a single contorted mouth in your life.” --Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

Yuri Lane defies easy categorization, and so does his debut CD, Yuri Lane: Human Beatbox.

This groundbreaking, 100%-beatbox album is rooted in hip-hop, but goes beyond to embrace the astonishing range of sound the human body is capable of creating.

Just one man emits head-nodding beats, vocal scratches and minimalist percussion punctuating a Tuvan throat-singing chorus.

Yuri provides ample evidence of his rhythmic talent in single-track songs like "Breath Control" and "Quickbox", but doesn't settle for beatbox purism.

On collaborations with spoken word poet Witness, jazz bassist Lorin Cohen, MC Prob Cause and DJ Grimmace, Lane complements his collaborators' styles with originality and playfulness. His signature "Beatbox Harmonica" is a musical gem that transcends genres and must be heard to be believed.

    Yuri give us a very creative album. L'album est vraiment interessant, loin de la performance, Yuri Lane livre un disque où la Beatbox prend l'ampleur d'un instrument à part entière. A CONSEILLER !
