Kutiman (real name: Ophir Kutiel) pieced together clips from other musicians and edited them into one surprisingly cohesive and beautiful new track. “Give It Up” is one of the tracks from Kutiman’s upcoming[ album](http://www.thru-you-too.com/), _Thru You Too_, out Oct. 1\. “Give It Up” is not an outlier — all the album’s tracks are comprised of unrelated YouTube clips. If the concept seems strange or gimmicky to you, watch the video above, and see if it changes your mind. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3386668/give-it-up-song-youtube-musicians-clips/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3386668/give-it-up-song-youtube-musicians-clips/"},"headline":"Musician Creates Beautiful Song by Weaving Together a Series of Unrelated YouTube Clips","datePublished":"2014-09-16T14:57:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:13.494Z","description":"It's called \"Give It Up\" and features 23 amateur musicians","url":"https://time.com/3386668/give-it-up-song-youtube-musicians-clips/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","Music","viral","YouTube"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltedf9edcfbfb468ef/6986a37f1eebf70e8a372a7a/screen-shot-2014-09-16-at-10-02-17-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltedf9edcfbfb468ef/6986a37f1eebf70e8a372a7a/screen-shot-2014-09-16-at-10-02-17-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-09-16 at 10.02.17 AM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3386668/give-it-up-song-youtube-musicians-clips/","name":"Musician Creates Beautiful Song by Weaving Together a Series of Unrelated YouTube Clips"}}]}] ```
