All year round people say Electronic Music isn’t music, but all of a sudden during Sefirah they say it’s an instrument and halachikly forbidden! Just confused..

redicilious

if you are listening to this “akapella” music during sefirah, you may as well just listen to real music with instruments, and you are doing the same thing.

Respect!

Super original, and creative idea!
sefira tunes? maybe not… but def. the making of a viral music video… Keep at it!

Cool!
May 10, 2016 7:32 pm

You guys have real talent… I am not sure of the halachic status of listening to it, but I am sure that there is no problem producing it! Really creative.

Awesome!!!

No one really cares what the original source of the sounds are;
May 10, 2016 6:35 pm

If a regular listener cannot tell the difference, then it is music

This is awesome

Good on you guys. You are lucky to be in wilkes where neshamos burn bright. I feel sorry for the negative commentators they will never get a chance to see mamash miracles in that unassuming town. These kids music will usher in mashiach

A machine playing recorded music of ANY kind is basically instrumental music. Why does it matter if the original was vocal but now it is reproduced by a machine or if the original was an instrument now reproduced by a machine? Why does it matter if the original was made by someone drumming a drum or someone drumming on a table? Ultimately, there is no such thing as music that is allowed during sefira unless it is live people singing. See matzav.com that Rav Yisrael Belsky (see also Shulchan Halevi 13:6 of Rav Belsky) and Rav Shlomo Miller differentiate between… Read more »

Keep up good work!

whether halachic or not. this is amazing. keep up the good work, creativity, and studies. -The Shul- Member, Cincinnati Ohio, Elbrook Ave!!!

did anyone ask a rav
May 10, 2016 2:33 pm

Did anyone ask a rav if it’s permitted? Sure sounds like music to me. Why do they have to try to find a way around the halacha? It doesn’t seem right. In yerushalayim I remember a drum being used alone at a wedding to avoid musical instruments. This reminds me of it. But it wasn’t during sefira then.

I must say,that is very creative!

So creative!
May 10, 2016 1:24 pm

Wow! Is it permissible because what produces the sounds are not considered instruments? Wondering

Amazing
May 10, 2016 1:24 pm

What talent! Way to go!
(I can’t wait for all the machmirim and shoite-chassidim to crawl out of the woodwork and start decrying.)

This is what we've been waiting for!!
May 10, 2016 12:57 pm

Way to go LEVYTICUS and BMAD!! This is very talented, you guys have amazing potential, keep it up!!

What's the difference?
May 10, 2016 12:12 pm

R U kidding me? …If it walks like a duck… Quacks like a duck… Swims like a duck… then it must be a duck. Sounds like music to me.
Perhaps all this points to one direction: Better just listen to plain ole’ music and direct your time to studying Torah and Ahavat Yisroel, vs. all the time wasted in coming up with “alternatives” to real music.

Omg!
May 10, 2016 12:04 pm

That’s awesome!!
Way to go boys!

Wow!
May 10, 2016 11:56 am

Wild stuff. This kind of thing can go viral

Go Levyticus!
May 10, 2016 11:46 am

Amazing!!!

Wow
May 10, 2016 11:45 am

I must say that he’s very talented and creative but hate to break it to you that using “sampling” to make sounds and feeding it through studio software is essentially exactly what synthesizer or keyboard music is so I wouldn’t call it “sfira” music.

come on
May 10, 2016 11:35 am

Who are we trying to fool? If it sounds like music it is music
