    jacob, i'm floored. i'm speechless. the complexity of your harmony is deep. your use of dissonance and resolution is balanced and mature, and your creativity in the world of dynamics and using the voice as an instrument is stunning. i'm shocked. please keep making music. your genius will not go unnoticed. thank you for making art for the world.

      He doesn't have a naturally low voice. You cant have it both ways. He uses multiple bass tracks to get that sounds.

    • @zian27
      @zian27 8 років тому +35

      I don't know whether or not he uses any kind of effects, but it is very much possible to have it both ways through extensive training. I'm currently studying to be a classical musician, and I know at least 2 people with crazy ranges like this - rare, but definitely not impossible. If you study vocal anatomy, you will find that it is quite possible that many more people have this ability than we know, it just takes extensive training to be able to use the full range of your vocal chords.

    I'm really not one for a capella vids. Not because I think they're bad, they just don't interest me much, but it's been like, oh, I don't know, maybe two years since I've seen this and it still hasn't left my mind. The amount of knowledge of music theory and technical skill still blows me away. By far the past a capella cover I've ever seen on UA-cam.

      He seems to have a good knowledge of jazz piano chords and uses his multi-tracked voice to stand in for the piano keyboard. Technically brilliant, but a little unsettling to listen to. Not exactly gratuitous virtuosity, but a bit much for my ears.

      @chrispotter3190 6 років тому +12

      Cliff Hughes dude listen to a single voice at a time. Every voice has voice leading that leads perfectly to the next chord. It’s unreal. He just uses his ear too. He doesn’t think about the theory he just hears where the next note should go. If you think this is unsettling to listen to then you must not have an ear for jazz music or anything with slightly complex chords

  • @josu9864
    @josu9864 4 роки тому +58

    I love how at 1:03 the first chorus ends with a big dissonant chord and when the melodica comes in it resolve yet almost immediately after goes back to the dissonance. It's like the most musical "he had us at the first part" moment.

    If I were a talent scout for Sony or any major label I would get him right away. Man, he will rule some day. He's not one of those 'genious kids' who mastered their instruments, but a full blown musician, much too advanced for his age. The depth of this arrangement would have blown me away regardless of his age. This is the kind of music I'm looking for as a listener. Harmonically complex and rich, yet accessible. I'm buying his record as soon as he records any.

    Please, can we get the word out about this kid? He is a GENIUS - and every day that we glorify singers that don't deserve it (watching their careers go into the shitter as a result), we rob TRUE talent of opportunity. And Jacob deserves all the musical attention from the most sophisticated ears around. He needs to be given everything he requires to make sure that he continues to produce ART. For himself and his own pleasure, but also to enhance and progress the community of musicians everywhere.

    Jacob is an inspiration to me in many ways. I feel I have been waiting for someone to come onto the music scene and express the kind of advanced, beautiful, fresh and adventurous ideas and emotions harmonically. As for his musicianship it's all together masterful, professional, mature, articulate and technically magnificent. To make a masterpiece like his acapella videos truly are, is extraordinarily challenging. I would bet piles of money he is not ever going to autotune anything he does and I would wager he'd rather just do a 2nd take of a part instead. I also doubt very much he uses tricks to extend his range, but possibly double it or mix it a certain way. He seems to me like he has a very tremendous natural range but I'd also bet that he developed it through practice, study and diligent dedication and hard work.

    There's a serious problem in the world when constructive criticism is equated with senseless and irrational hatred. It's a problem when productive discussion of opposing ideas is suppressed by children with low self-esteem that get a sense of pride by "sticking up for" the people they like when somebody offers an idea to try to help them improve in the future.

      +lewiswesley66 I assumed he sang the bassline an octave up and pitched it down in post production.. I'm not sure though. I guess it's possible that he has that kind of vocal range. But I mean, even if he did drop it an octave, that's different than using autotune or melodyne, so I wouldn't consider it cheating or anything. It's just that his musical ideas are on such a colossal scale that he has to utilize technology in order to create all of the unimaginable sounds he hears in his head.

Quite unsettling at such a transition/ modulation point of the song, but a clever mix of these triads in this new Gmaj key. JC's bending expectations as usual... For me, the madness ends at 2:36 when he now carries on with GbMaj. Forgive my incorrect terminology lol

    Another excellent piece. I'm floored by your vocal range. The jazz voicings are incredible. Only the unwashed can't appreciate this.

      That's the freaky part. After you wrap your brain around the fact that this kid has conceived and executed a vocal arrangement that is pure genius, he steps up and plays one of the most tasteful, lyrical, grooving melodica solos you've ever heard. I hope he has at least an inkling of how much joy his gift has given us.

    Because the goal of music is to invoke a specific emotion in an audience. That's what makes it art. If you write a challenging piece of music for the sake of performing things that are difficult, it cheapens the craft. It becomes nothing more than a trick show. People don't hand out world championships for dunk contests! But that's what this song is. It's a dunk in a basketball dunking competition.
