Jacob felt limited by his human form. He therefore decides to use his telekinesis to duet with himself.
He is an INFJ after all
@@BC-pl3df I've wondered. I imagined what an INTP would be with rich parents and actual motivation.
Who says, who says? You can be anything; you can be Superman! xD
Best comment
Honestly 😂 It's a great idea though. Very clever!
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.
Great summary. Furthermore - Yahaha Corporation actually commented on this video after your comment. Which is pretty cool.
Thanks for explaining this because I was wondering about it.
It was The Force
i think he recorded the piano strings pinched before
Lol "haters will say it's photoshopped"
If someone told me he was playing those notes with his mind I wouldn’t be surprised
Yeah I'd be like: Oh yeaaah... Of course.
And then move on with my life.
well he techically is
🙌
love this comment!
He played those notes with his mind.
I love that he's openly incorporating technology with his own human capabilities. There is no negative stigma of 'less authentic' or 'less impressive' in his mind, and that allows him to actually push the boundaries of music
my man said it. this is it. we needed to read this. cheers.
All these years ago....and just now I see this performance. Oh my... I say thank you, Jacob, for not stopping and never getting enough....🎉
Out of this world Jacob. The syncopations, the super rich warm bass tones, the crazy awesome harmonies. And the way you play off the piano as if it's another musician... Never seen anyone do that. You are a true genius and a delight to listen to.
Try brazilian pianist Vitor Araújo. You'll be pleasantly surprised that there is another Jacob Collier in the hiding out there!
Clearly breathtaking. There are on youtube amazing solo piano of Cory Henry. These twos are unbelievable.
Whoever said you can't listen to them both one after the other, every day of the week, as many times as you'd like?
bennemann I’m confused, pretty sure Vitor doesn’t play bass, drums, guitar, compose whole scores, and mix like Jacob does. This Jacob dude is next level genius.
@Dapdoi Arron and zbomb33 It’s art not sports, give the competitive nonsense a break. They can all be great musicians who make the world a better place.
I've seen people play pianos.
I've seen pianos play themselves.
But I've never seen someone play while the piano is playing itself.
Finally Jacob has the extra 2 'hands' that he needed to even further elevate his music!
I hate unnecessary apostrophes too, but did you really need use CAPS to make your point? Jeez, lighten up, Francis! So, not just wrong, but COMPLETELY WRONG. Bit of a drama queen, methinks.
There, I fixed it.
Thanks. :-) My blood pressure is back to normal.
There is a worldwide epidemic of apostrophe misuse. It's unbelievable.
20 years ago it never happened. Just saying.
@@Bouncybon you're just begging the question
The best collabs Jacob does are with himself
Many people hoped to see JC collaborate with other musicians some day and meanwhile he does so as he is an absolutely nice and sociable guy. But I still get the impression that when it comes to ultra refinement he still prefers to do it all with himself 😊
I totally don't agree. I think that music he makes on his own is over complicated, when he plays with others mucisians it becomes simpler and more clear in terms of composition to me. (This piece is an exception)
You might be the big fan of ''With The Love of My Heart' which are too complicated for most of audience..
just you wait
The old gods are dead but we are not lost. That decade has its genius. Thank you so much Jacob. You bring light.
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!
Blown away by your control and creativity on the Disklavier, bravo Jacob!
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.
This piano is boss and I would absolutely suck on it lol
What I don't get is how he is playing on perfect sync with the prerecorded playback midi file without a metronome or in-ears 0_0
Hey!! Is he a Yamaha Artist yet?!?? 😎
@@musicadesilva I think he might actually be recording the midi live and looping it back. It makes it seem like that's what's happening in the intro at least. Another possibility is perhaps he has a foot controller that allows him to cue tracks, but we can't see it because it's at his feet?
Or he recorded this all already and played it back note for note in the video, but this seems highly unlikely.
Jacob Collier feat. ghost. Amazing as always!
Even the great ghost musicians want to jam with him :)
feat. Michael Jackson lol
no
I've just released a new song! it would mean a lot for somebody to listen to it. Cheers!
@@BenBeats nice drumming by the way :)
Jacob in a musical conversation with himself and we were allowed to listen.
I know nothing about music, about chords, melodies, sharps, flats, negative harmonies, or super-ultra-hyper-mega-meta lydians. But I've been around long enough, and listened to enough music, to realize there's something magical about Mr. Jacob Collier. He's magnetic, and mesmerizing in his capacity to explore outside the lines. So inspiring.
Keep coming back to this - such an imaginative use of the instrument I've been playing all my life (but never like this!)
Man, 2:28 is pretty crazy! goes into 7/4 with the first 'with the force don't stop' displaced by a semiquaver (16th note), then back on best the next again with 'don't stop till you get enough'! All while playing delicious chords and groove around it! Love your work Jacob!
Can you teach me how you know its in 7/4??
*Jazz intensifies*
lmao who tf says semiquaver
@@thomas.j.s People who have spent like a week learning sheet music lol.
@@thomas.j.s they probably british ig
I can't make sense of why the low end of piano sounds the rich. Listening on headphones, it sounds like he's added a bowed upright bass to the mix. Do you guys hear this?
Probably prepared at the bottom, putting something like a sock over the strings to create that effect, its a pretty incredible sound
It's a 'prepared piano'. Something's muting the lower strings - he might have packed some shirts or socks in there or something. Ben Folds did something similar in his cover of Such Great Heights.
On his community page on UA-cam, he's confirmed that he covered some of the lower strings with tape "to give those notes a grooving muted muffle" :)
Its an 80 grand piano with great low end with muted bass strings. In addition, I'm sure this has been well mixed, eq'd and balanced by an engineer to bring the most out of the performance.
@@GingerDrums The engineering on this is subpar. For a start they got the piano soundscape backwards, and you can hear the midrange phasing when the mic oscillates. This sort-of an ORTF arrangement over the hammers is certainly not what this kind of performance needed.
magical 😭
Plini amen
I’m so happy to see you following Jacob’s music! I’ve seen you live twice and think you’re one of the best in the business right now. It’s good to know that Jacob’s audience spans so far and wide!
Plini in da house
Amen ma man!
loved your latest release dude
Jacob Collier went to my school (the Purcell School). last year he came and gave a masterclass and I was completely blown away and have loved watching his videos ever since. He is such and inspiration :)
Are yo u from another Galaxy? Jacob, this is the best performance I ever seem in my short life. Keep going, forever, please.
From the Samsung Galaxy
"Jacob, please don't stop til I get enough" can't believe you missed out on that pun...
I promise you hes not fully from earth
@@rachelkingsley5620 lol
The one man shows really allowed Jacob to develop his showmanship. Even when it’s a little over the top, I find it deliciously entertaining.
I expected something spectacular - I wasn't disappointed
+
I'd be honored if some Jacob Collier fans who like acoustic interpretations of old-school 70s/80s songs would check out my piano & vocal covers of SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire and HOME AT LAST by Steely Dan on my channel. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
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
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.
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.
Pushing not just musical, but technological boundaries as well. That's the Jacob I love. Spellbindingly energetic performance as always.
I misread musical as magical, but I guess he's pushing magical boundaries as well :')
uhhh yamaha invented this piano a while ago
@@billk.9410 Did I somehow give you the impression that I believed Jacob had invented a new kind of piano?
@@jalfredprufrock620 no, but he also didn't invent pre-recording a piano roll
@@billk.9410 Ok, let me rephrase. Did I somehow give you the impression that I believed he had invented anything at all, or had been the very first person to do anything for that matter?
2:59 - 3:00 is the only skill I have that similar with Jacob.
wow...me too
🤣
😃😃
WOO
XD
THIS SHOULD HAVE BILLIONS OF VIEWS
On one hand i'm disgusted that Jacob Collier will probably never be world famous among the mainstream audience, but on the other hand i'm glad because it feels like a great privilege to be one of the lucky few to know and appreciate Jacob's music !
many people don't get this kind of music because jazz is a genre you need to get used to before you can fully enjoy it
You do realize he won 2 Grammy Awards, right? He's not toiling in obscurity by any means. We can take solace that the musicians and those of us who really love music know exactly who he is.
I was gonna say, Collier pretty much is world famous already haha. There is no 'lucky few' anymore lol.
@@Nostaljack Yeah i know, but i put him right up there with the greatest artists ever, and most people (relatively 😉) haven't heard of him (yet !)
nah, he's not as widely recognized among the masses. Winning Grammy's was because he submitted his music and they, being musically intelligent, voted for him. But he's not a popular artist.
You're the man, Jacob!
Tutorial?😂
KebenaranBukanMilikAndaAtaupunSaya seriously?
Pls do the tutorial
We are lucky to live in the time of Jacob Collier. He is a gift!!!
- If Michael Jackson was still alive, he'd be applauding with the same delight most of us feel, at a cover that doesn't merely follow the original, but takes it to new and very scintillating levels. Bravo Jacob!
I had the thought listening to this that Jacob is kind of like to the piano what MJ was to dancing.
This dude really is a genius. This is so clean. His ears and timing are so on point. He is an a row with all the really big cats. And so young. He'll do some crazy stuff in the future.
I just wish MJ could have been standing g there, just to see the delight on his face whilst Jacob played.
The really disgusting thing is it probably only took him 20 minutes to put this together. Incredible talent.
LOLOL
sometimes somebody comes along who takes your breath away
A lot of practice too
Or 10
The thing is he probably had spent more than the average unseen/undocumented practice time and that made him reach this amount of skill.
Same with designers, they don't price you high because they did the design a good design quick, but because they spent years to reach that skill point where they can design well quick.
I'm 68 years old. I've never in my life seen a talent like this kid. He is the Beatles of this generation.
No disrespect to the iconic Beatles band or you but Jacob Collier is not appreciated much by this generation because today's generation thinks BTS boy band, cardi b, bad bunny etc. is music.
@@royaldomain4055 The fact that you put BTS alongside cardi b and bad bunny says enough about you - you hear something mainstream and assume it's garbage, BTS have some deep meaningful songs and work hard af to be where they are - cut the "music elitist bs" it's such an arrogant attitude. Music is whatever people enjoy, and while cardi b and bad bunny is not respectable music - you should not be putting BTS name on there - get informed.
I would argue he is something new. We haven't seen anything like this before. The Beatles were a jump forward in popular music. This is different. This is more.
@@scottdavis7730 - Well, I don't know if it's "more" or not. The Beatles pretty much redefined the future of music, and in the process helped shape the future of popular culture, too. 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. I'm a huge fan. Which is something for a 68-year-old guy.
the Beatles were songwriting geniuses, but this kid is a musical virtuoso. although his songwriting is of a lesser caliber than the beatles, his raw instrumental and harmonic talent is far beyond the beatles, perhaps the greatest musician in human history
I always wondered who would actually need and deserve a self-playing grand piano. Now I know.
His decisions, improvisational and not, seem to me so generous, precise as if he were reinventing music, its rules, its power to manifest. We are witnessing something the world had not in centuries probably (not merely a virtuoso) and we are thankful.
Again Jacob Collier renders me speechless.
The more Jacob I hear, the more I fall in love with the timbre of his voice. Just one more string to his bow!
cant wait till Jacob is like 60 years old and makes a video explaining how to play fourths to travel the 20th dimension
Wonder when he'll figure out how to use the lydian scale to prolong his lifespan far beyond human imagination
420?
I only just found this guy last night. And I have lost count of how many instruments I've seen him play.
Please JC, please put this on spotify. I need to listen to it several hundred times.
Jacob its so deeply emotional,all his songs give me a vibe that no one can. Great song and great performance
He understands music theory on a whole different level that us humans
No he doesn't. He understands music theory in the exact same way that literally anyone else who knows music theory does. Plenty of music theory experts out there who are too rigid and play without feel (this is what sets him apart) but their understanding of music theory is exactly the same as Jacob's.
@@urmumsbaps finally a fucking person with a brain
Thank you man..
@@urmumsbaps I think there is more than just feeling, his speed, understanding, consciousness and intelligence at the time of playing is very impressive. He may know the same theory as others, but he can think extremely fast about it, is very conscious on the effect it will have, sees the multiple choices and then can take a very educated decision on what to play next and how to play it.
he pisses on the music theory
@@lanchanoinguyen2914 he kinda does actually.
c'on june lee, do your magic!
Tuvi now dont you put pressure onim
He just dropped "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing! Give him a break, are you trying to kill the man?
@@moonootoo haha yeah, i've just saw that
Hahahahahha
hahahaha go for it! :D :D :D
Piano great, voice...in tune
There are some musicians who might try something like this and it would some how, some way end up feeling gimmicky. I have watched and listened to this video so many times and am always blown away by just how joyously musical and wonderfully creative it is. Jacob has taken the Yamaha technology and used it to real, brilliant musical purpose. Thank you Jacob.
Godamnit this guy’s the absolute master. As of today he’s my fav musician. Nice voice. Complete mastery of music. He has mastered it all. Theory, rhythm, style, improv, music creativity and feel.
Me too. “Genius” disappeared in my dictionary after seeing him. When I’m in my dying bed, I want his music in my ears.😂
You're from a completely different future music era, Jacob. A true genius. You don't just play virtuostically, your imagination and versatility go beyond the sky. Never heard anybody like you. The melody is always lurking there between all of that surreal harmony. How do you hear that stuff??? Bloody brilliant. x
THE MAGICIAN THAT IS JACOB COLLIER - ALWAYS TAKES IT TO ANOTHER, UNBELIEVABLE LEVEL!!!
I always stand up and give him a standing ovation when I tune into Jacob the Great!
I am ceaselessly amazed by the depth of Jacob's musicality. Yeah, he's got remarkable chops, but it's his rhythmic and harmonic choices that make him so fun/interesting to listen to. The reharm on the middle 8 was wonderful -- interesting without sounding forced.
It's usually not worth messing with MJ -- and DSTYGE is my fave MJ song *ever* -- but Jacob just killed this. 🔥
I keep coming back to this... it must be one of the greatest piano performances of all time.
3:35 the way he just sits back while his hand does all the work for him is amazing
‼️
I‘ve seen videos where he‘s talking about not having any chops. I don‘t know what jacob with more chops would look like, but I imagine my brain couldn‘t handle it
If musicians could have a pantheon of gods...Jacob would be one of them.
This guy has got to be the ultimate musician of all time. Unparalleled skills on ANY instrument, harmonization at the same level if not better than the best jazz musicians out there, incredible singing abilities, top notch use of technology and tools. I am envious.
Happy heavenly birthday MJ!! Jacob’s Bday gift to MJ!!!
Jacob + Disklavier, a match made in heaven!
I'm smiling goofyly like a thirteen years old ....this music is just a totally new dimension
Absolutely incredible how much talent this guy oozes, one of the most talented musicians I've ever listened to...
It's a gloomy Sunday and I feel good, thanks to a miracle called Jacob Collier.
Mesmerized and my jaw is still on thr floor. Also love this iconic song by MJ
This is a visual interpretation of your musical genius, music plays itself through you
*_low-key jealous of the piano_*
low-key jealous of the low keys on the piano.
more like high-key jealous
I see what you did there....
my hope for positive signs for future is growing again since i heard music from Jacob Collier
Amazing!
Soooo confession. I haven’t told anyone about Jacob Collier since I’ve discovered him because I want to keep him to myself.😬😂 He’s so special.
Alyssa Alexandru so truuuee😭😭
Tanya Grant Literally going to his concert in SF by myself next year because no one I know will get him.
Alyssa Alexandru damn I’m so jealous, if I could go to his concert I would do the same😂✊🏽
gatekeeping loser
I haven't told anyone because I still want them to think I have talent. Jacob makes everybody look like hacks.
This sounds like Michael Jackson making love to a piano in a falling elevator with a little bit of the sims soundtrack in it. Strangely just what i was looking for. Simply amazing like anything you do Jacob. Love you man!!!
Can't wait for June Lee's transcription of this!
Für acht hände. 😁
Ooh- ooooooo!!!!!!!! You sent me flying there man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rachmaninoff and his ampico roll recordings, Jacob and his YAMAHA Collieroll recordings. MORE MORE MORE!!
its physically, mentally, AND spiritually IMPOSSIBLE to be disappointed from your music.
More talent than half the internet combined
Half? I think you are overestimating the world buddy.
@@Rombizio you are absolutely correct.
Cheers!
One of the most gifted musicians I have ever seen 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥
It's really nice to hear him lay into a groove like this
Awesome!
While many musicians present unusual covers, this young man creates, kicks, controls and changes what enters our spirit and commands it to be his own, mesmerizing musicians and non-musicians (moi) alike. I return to his channel time and again and hope to someday experience a live performance. Jacob~thank you for sharing with the world.
Hey! This is very personal: That tune was really my very first Tune I heard in a disco. It was in the eighties. I was young and my body began to shake because it was so new and energetic.
I love that song and JC made my day with his - once again - deep and wonderful interpretation.
He's got rhythm, he's got music.. who could ask for anything more?
If Mr. Roger's neighborhood was still in production he would've been Mr Roger's guest.
Its pop, its rock, its jazz.., for pities sake its classical. This is a new kind of bigger music, a new kind of art, eliciting so many unexpected emotions in quick succession. But like the very best of jazz, it takes the stuff that seems it might blow musical integrity apart, turns it on its head, and shows it making dynamite emotional sense.
An awesome piece of theatre too. (And the best rhythmic heading nodding ever.)
This guy is an absolute marvel. Nothing but utter respect for everything he does.
Incredible Jacob!! Another fantastic cover! Mj is certainly dancing to this! 🕺🏿
Astounding as always! I had the great fortune to perform with Jacob in Oslo, Norway last year and he really IS something else and what a down to earth and pleasant guy!
If Michael were here, he’d really love this guy!
yikes
@@RoussosKey stfu
Nah, Jacob is WAY too old for him.
@@RoussosKey Hahahaha, my reaction to your reply was that I'm glad I had just finished my coffee before I read it.
@@RoussosKey Michael wrote almost all his songs...he didn't need to know music theory to create. You know nothing about the essence art !
I can’t even fathom how this much talent is manifested in one person.
The force is strong in this one...
I am always so excited when you upload a new video, dude this is amazing, such a great groove and that piano is crazy, it's like magic, the keys moving by their own, amazing, fits your magical music. Dude I love this. Please upload more. Please.
He's great and you're great too btw
Incredible, Jacob, love how you can inject real jazz into a pop tune and make it something new, beautiful! You are truly awesome , man!
Jacob Jacob Jacob Jacob...There are NO words to describe this and to describe you! Let’s just leave it at that.
This guy really is the modern day Shakespeare of Music ain't he?
Magic. Half the piano plays alone (!!!) While Jacob does the rest. His mind blows mine and i feel like not touching my piano anymore. Thanks Jacob!
Today I learned, if you study enough music theory, you become a real life wizard.
if you practice enough*
and if you know how to apply it
liam robertson 40 hours a day no more no less
Music family helps .. they sang bach cantatas for fun growing up lol
I love the fact that he's covered so many MJ songs. Michael Jackson would have been so blown away!
Imagine Jacob being born an octopus, his music would be on another level!
10 fingers > 8 tentacles. Unless he's into some weird shit
(from not a typical "boomer") Singing and dancing heals your body and keeps you young........as a woman at 71 who lives alone and in pain from OA and a rare autoimmune disease that destroys muscle tissue, and as a former massage therapist, I am grateful to have discovered this embodiment of pure joy. I have added his talent to my repertoire of healing techniques to start my day - listening to him, singing and dancing as a gift to myself.......thanks so much, Jacob! - you help me every day ❤❤❤
I wish you well
So do I.
I love how he kept the bit at 2:45 mostly the same, just knowing how good that bit is and not needing to change it whereas other people would try and "re-invent" it or "Jazz it up" to show off
Jacob is like all the musical geniuses of all time together in one person with a wonderful character. wow. I have the highest appreciation for you!
I love this! Jacob you are a gem of a musician my friend! Performing with your unique energy one of the most iconic pop songs of the 20th Century, on Michael's birthday! What a treat! :)
Watched this like 10 times already.. it's extraterrestial! Feels like MJ has risen from the grave and his ghost is playing the keys alongside Jacob..
1:22 - dangerously close to the lick lol
Seriously loved this though!
Same with 3:26 hahaha
Hahaha
So grateful to be alive while Jacob walks the earth
I spent a beautiful afternoon with your music. And, when possible again, I will definitely come to your concert, hoping that you will play in Europe. Thank you so much Jacob! Love from Tuscany-Italy.
