    To the people wondering how he "plays" the notes that he isn't touching: he is using a piano called a Yamaha Disklavier which has a feature where you can record and mechanically playback notes you played before. So he has recorded one (or more) parts beforehand and is accompanying the mechanical playback in this video.

      I think the disklavier is playing a midi file (from the piano's storage - disk - hence disklavier) in real time. so when it appears as if jacob is recording a loop (e.g. 1:43) this is actually part of the midi file being played back. so essentially jacob is playing over pre-recorded piano, it just looks incredible because the file is being played back in a very cool physical form which jacob appears to be interacting with.

      Or he recorded this all already and played it back note for note in the video, but this seems highly unlikely.

    • @giovannifarina7429
      @giovannifarina7429 6 років тому

      oh come on! when you've got a piano that does everything it's easy to be "spectacular". I'm not saying that jacob isn't talented but you're impressed by the flashlights. it's too easy to do that stuff if you can rely on a piano that plays itself or an harmonizer built by the MIT

    • @willritter4076
      @willritter4076 6 років тому +10

      Giovanni Farina Collier is a natural showman and he understands that if you want to take the fastest road to becoming a superstar, most of the time you get there with outlandish bells and whistles and not with the actual substance of your art (relying on artistic substance alone is a much longer and less certain road to fame)... Collier's music has a lot of substance but his act is also very flashy, that's why he's got millions of views instead of laboring in relative obscurity like most jazz musicians.

    • @giovannifarina7429
      @giovannifarina7429 6 років тому +4

      AS I SAID I'm not saying that he has no talent or that isn't a showman! I'm saying that some comments (especially when they came from music specialized youtuber) are synonyms of ignorance. what jacob is doing is to rely on these people that are easily facinable. that's why you have the harmonizer, the ghost piano and the negative harmony. "let's talk about me good or bad the importance is that they're talking about me" If he would be more simple, exposing his talent without "escamotages" he can be accepted more than he is now. what he has to understand is that he doesn't need to be "spectacular" miles, hancock, metheny and all the great musician has never been "spectacular" because their music was enough.

    This is one of Jacob's best performances ever. His creative use of the Disklavier is one that is so obvious to us all but not one you'd normally think of, the arrangement wonderfully utilizes the ability of this instrument and is a unique take on an already fantastic song by Michael Jackson. The choreography, especially the mic drop at the end, makes this performance one of the most memorable for me. Your boundless creativity is astonishing, Jacob!

    I’m a writer and I really can type fast on a keyboard, effortlessly. My fingers just know where the keys are and all I have to think about is the words and the grammar. Jacob possess a similar (tougher to develop) skill but in the music domain. The piano is his keyboard while the chords, scales and the complete music theory is his language and grammar. The fascinating thing is that he can read and write this complex language as easy as you and me can read and write English. Of course this enables him to store music in his mind similarly to how we store stories.
    Now as a writer it’s easy for me to re-tell a story simply by accessing it from my brain and then quickly typing the words using my keyboard. Jacob can do the same but with music, which is a fascinating skill to posses.

That's pretty profound stuff. Once in a lifetime stuff. It remains to be seen if Jacob is that kind of force. He has yet to prove to me that he can write catchy hooks the likes of which would rival those of Lennon-McCartney and that will be sung for fifty years and more into the future. All I know is, the kid is unbelievably talented and is beginning to redefine, in some way, what being a contemporary musician means. That's the stuff of legend...if he continues. I hope he does.
