Key Information

Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Silverman is a classically trained double bass player who attended the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and developed a career in the progressive jazz scene in the 1990s, performing live and as a studio musician. He started out in a funk, rockabilly, jazz band called "The Fabulous Hedgehogs" before he developed his own style of solo playing and gained a reputation as a one-man rhythm section, incorporating traditional and slap-bass playing with percussive elements using the body of the instrument. When he began to feel limited by his instrument and a heavy schedule of playing and recording for other people, he started to devise a new instrument that would allow him the range to create his own music. At first he sought out professional help in building his instrument, but decided to make it himself because of the projected cost. The end result was the Magic Pipe, a 7-foot-tall (2.1 m) collection of steel plumbing pipes and joints, orchestral bass strings, and electronics.[1][2]

As That 1 Guy

[edit]

Since then, Silverman has developed a career as a one-man band under the stage name That 1 Guy, first playing his upright bass, and later singing and beatboxing while playing his Magic Pipe, musical saw, various percussive elements, and using digital looping and sampling to perform his songs.[3] His musical influences include Drums and Tuba, Rush, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and Dr. Seuss, both in terms of his lyrics and his quirky homemade instruments. He has also been influenced by Tom Waits, and was invited to play saw (and subsequently bass) on tracks for Waits’ Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards album.[4] He has a cult following in the United States of America, as well as in Australia, which he has toured several times, including performances at major festivals such as Big Day Out, Pyramid Rock Festival, and Woodford Folk Festival. He has also played many shows alongside avant-garde guitarist Buckethead, with whom he released a collaborative album under the name Frankenstein Brothers in 2008. He has received little mainstream recognition, but did garner attention after the use of his song "Buttmachine" (from his second album, The Moon is Disgusting) on Showtime's original comedy series Weeds, season 3, episode 9.[5] He started a tour throughout the United States of America in early 2009,[6] and performed at festivals in Canada and France.

Instruments

[edit]

The Magic Pipe

[edit]

The Magic Pipe, also known by his close friends as 'The Broken Bowflex', is a homemade, electronically rigged pair of machined aluminum pipes (previously steel in its first incarnation), connected by adjustable phosphorus bronze joints, with each pipe hosting an orchestral bass string. The harp-shaped instrument is roughly seven feet tall and features 13 trigger points, which can be mapped to various musical sound effects or samples. The front pipe uses a low C string, while the rear pipe's string is used to achieve more tenor ranged notes. The pipes themselves are employed to produce various percussive sounds while That 1 Guy slaps, plucks, or bows the strings, as well as occasionally using a drum stick to sound the strings and the pipes at the same time. The creation of the Magic Pipe was based on Silverman's double bass experience, as well as borrowing from the concepts of the gutbucket and the diddley bow.[1][2][7][8]

The Magic Boot

[edit]

The Magic Boot is a scorpion-emblazoned cowboy boot, which is wired and fed through the Magic Pipe's audio lines. It is then played as a percussive instrument by tapping on the sole while pinching the boot's opening to achieve different sounds, similar to an African talking drum.

The Magic Saw

[edit]

The Magic Saw is a musical saw, which is wired into the main effects box. It uses a small adhesive speaker and is played percussively as well as with a violin bow. It sounds similar to a theremin when played and renditions of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" have been performed on numerous occasions.

Instruments

The Magic Pipe

The Magic Pipe is a custom-built instrument central to the performances of American musician Mike Silverman, known as That 1 Guy. Standing approximately 7 feet tall, it consists of a pair of machined aluminum pipes connected by adjustable joints, strung with two orchestral bass strings—one tuned to low C on the front pipe and another providing a range on the rear pipe—along with an array of including preamps, analog-to-digital converters, samplers, mixers, and 13 trigger points mapped to specific and sound effects. These components allow the instrument to function as a hybrid bass, melodic device, and percussion source, enabling Silverman to generate complex, layered sounds in a solo setup. Silverman invented the Magic Pipe in the late 1990s after abandoning traditional playing in various bands, seeking a way to achieve orchestral-scale music independently. Drawing from his classical training and experiences with upright bass, he constructed the initial version using steel pipes sourced from hardware stores, assembling it piecemeal over about a year while funding the project through frequent gigs in ; the final assembly involved two weeks of intensive, all-night work to prepare for its debut at a birthday performance. This invention was pivotal for his transition to a format, as it consolidated multiple musical elements into a single, portable structure that could produce full arrangements without additional musicians. In operation, the Magic Pipe generates bass lines through plucking or bowing the primary strings, while the tenor-range string supports lines; percussion is created simultaneously by slapping the metal pipes or striking the strings with a drumstick, with the 13 trigger points activating sampled effects, additional notes, and rhythmic elements via electronic processing. This multi-functionality allows for real-time layering of bass, , and percussion, often incorporating looping techniques to build intricate compositions on stage. Over time, the instrument has evolved from its original steel construction to the lighter, more resonant aluminum pipes for improved durability and tone during tours, with ongoing refinements to the electronics and trigger mappings to enhance live improvisation and sound variety. These modifications have ensured its adaptability across Silverman's recordings and performances since the early 2000s.

The device is wired into the overall audio system, allowing captured sounds to be processed and layered during live sets. Created in the mid-2000s after Silverman's development of the Magic Pipe in the late , the Magic Boot addressed the need for integrated rhythm in his performances, enabling self-contained beat production. Silverman constructed it by embedding the within the boot's structure, transforming simple stomps into versatile percussive elements akin to a kick drum or acoustic-electric . In operation, the Magic Boot triggers drum-like sounds through foot control, with the detecting strikes on the sole to generate bass-heavy percussion that can be routed through effects for variation. These inputs feed into Silverman's looping setup, allowing real-time building of rhythmic layers without external assistance. The instrument's uniquely empowers dynamic, solo beat creation, eliminating the reliance on drummers and supporting That 1 Guy's improvisational style by providing immediate, tactile control.
