Watch this Cork musician layer up a cracking multi-instrument tune on his own

This is some seriously impressive stuff. Cork musician John Ryan makes some great music with several instruments played just on his own - with the help of electronic loops.

Give it a minute to get going - the layering effect means it gets more impressive as time goes on!

The style of layering tracks one upon the other is a popular recent trend among solo instrumentalists. It's also widely used by YouTube a cappella singers to turn one vocalist into an entire band.

You can go follow Stuck on Repeat over at his Facebook page, where he notes that his first attempt at recording this seamless mix was foiled by his landlord knocking on the door.

But he'll also tell you when he's playing gigs and showcase some of his other great videos.
