Just listen. It’s all one person… he adds different repeating tracks by himself… His name is Bryson.

From Droid Life: After Update, Google’s Music Manager Allows Download Of All Your Music Straight From The Cloud
Thanks to a recent update to the Music Manager for Google Music, the search giant is now giving users a single button to download all of their previously uploaded or purchased music straight to their hard drives from the cloud. This was a feature we had been hoping for since its inception, but later is better than ever. Has your computer crashed and now your new PC has no music? Then this should ease your worries about losing your collection.
Along with that gem, users can now share YouTube videos of songs they have recently added to their library with their Google+ circles. Once you have uploaded a song, just click the drop down button and hit “share video with circles.†Cheers, Google.

Once: A Totally Mesmerizing Video AND Audio Experience!
I first heard them on NPR last Friday. Check their video interview/concert out! So I was intrigued by their rather memerizing and VERY original works. Then I learned that these two called “The Swell Season” were brought together because of a “small” movie called “Once“. It was released in 2006 and since it was on Netflix, I decided to check them out.
Boy, was I glad I did it!! I can’t stop enjoying the movie!! And the music was even more so! It was mesmerizing and haunting, in good ways! The songs are just so original! If they had to be compared to something, dare I say it’s comparable to Simon & Garfunkel’s work! The movie story is rather simple of two people who cross path because of music. The songs are sooo original that it’s refreshing! I loved the soundtrack so much that I ended up buying it on Amazon.com! I have listend to it 4 times already!
The guy’s voice (Glen Hansard) is very gritty and his lyrics are very honest. The woman’s voice, Marketa Irglova, is gentle but not boring. And their combination is just very explosive!! I really recommend this to everyone out there! Go watch it and listen to it!
