Avi Kaplan | Solo Career - Vocal Range

  • “In 2017, Avi stepped away from creating after years of rushing from stadium to stadium at a frenzied pace-an experience he calls “beautiful,” but one that also left him physically and artistically depleted. Since returning to music on his own terms, the songs have poured out of him, ready for foot-stomping music halls and serious listening rooms alike. He's also liberated his vocals, once known as the perfect power-bass, to reveal a nuanced voice, rich, tender and abounding. Reveling in the simplicity, “I get on my porch with my guitar, look at my trees, and write a song,” he says. He has rediscovered his own musical roots and delved deeper into the folk he’s always loved-exploring a range of sounds from soul to bluegrass-he has reconnected with himself and found yet another way to connect beautifully with others.”
    A Vocal Range of Avriel Kaplan’s work throughout the time since he’s departed from Pentatonix. All clips in this video are from after when he left in mid 2017 (hopefully).
    Questionable notes:
    Get down G#1: too brief to be counted. Not sure it reaches G# either. Maybe.
    Full Moon G1: most likely synth or something other than Avi’s voice. Not evidence for its existence. Discussion here: therangeplanet...
    Inevitably there will be mistakes somewhere in here. Apologies. Please comment any you find. This video was surprisingly hard to research and find notes for.
    I don’t own any of the music, videos or pictures. Sue me.
    (Pls don’t this time)
    Big video coming next. Will take a while. Lots of low notes to come :)

    What I love about his solo career is that while he uses his full range he doesn't rely on it as a gimmick. More often than not, he uses the sweet spot in the middle of his range and just makes good music.

    I was pleasantly surprised to see/hear you include a couple of clips from my own video taken at Avi's Dallas show last August. And you pulled my favorite clip from the Houston show - his riffing toward the end of "Get Down". He really let loose on that, as it was the last show of that tour and the mood just hit him. (That show was audio only, as the venue strongly disallowed video.) Good compilation, Matthew!

      @@matthewdockray9745 I liked that recording of "House" in Dallas because it really allowed you to hear Daniel's keys so well, and he was on fire in Dallas and Houston. I talked to him about it after the Houston show. I also recorded the entirety of the San Francisco show in July, and the "House' clip from that is good for the audience singing along really well, even with harmonies. And that show's "When I Die" (which he will be studio recording soon).

    • @charlottevan_8
      @charlottevan_8 4 роки тому

      If you haven't already, have a listen to the San Francisco "Get Down". What I like about this one is that you can hear it better when, right after the first chorus, he does those super low notes (you'd be able to specifically identify them) while Daniel is sampling it all on his keyboard set-up, in order to both loop it and to play the notes as back-up singing during the song. That's what I talked with Daniel about in Houston, and he was surprised I knew what it was that he'd done. I explained to him that my late husband had been a sound/recording engineer, among other music business jobs, and so I'd learned a lot about that sort of thing through osmosis and also watching it done live in concert.

    omgg thanks for making this, this was spot on! one thing i will ask though: i think he may or may not have a C#1 in Get Down. either at the second verse or the second chorus is where it comes in. there are some low rumbles with audible air, so what do you think?

    There’s a video by Pamela Bravo ( ua-cam.com/video/EOxBwUMCpZI/v-deo.html ) that goes through basically the same stuff as this video, just studio only. In it she was able to isolate the G4 in Chains and it is in fact chest and it’s beautiful to hear it isolated. She also isolated a Bb1 in It knows me. I think the Bb1 in Full moon (around 3:40 on the ‘why’) would’ve been good to include. I also never noticed the C#2 at the start of It Knows me, but now I can’t not hear it.

    • @matthewdockray9745
      @matthewdockray9745  4 роки тому +1

      Yeah, I’ve watched her video, however I was unable to isolate the notes myself, so I kept the full versions in. I still think the G4 is falsetto, or failing that, I think it’s not unreasonable that they just raised his chest line up a 3rd artificially to give it that fuller sound, but he might’ve done it in chest, I’m not sure if he could sustain it that long though. The Bb1 in it knows me I found but I wasn’t sure if it was legitimate or not and I forgot about her video (I’m stupid). I thought the 3:40 note in full moon was an A1 but I’m probably mistaken. Thanks for the feedback

    • @liambreen7892
      @liambreen7892 4 роки тому

      Matthew Dockray it might be a A idk I’m not the best with pitch and it’s a bit brief to compare it with a piano (i find). I think the G4 is legit as if it was falsetto there’d be some vibrato but I didn’t here any. That’s just my reasoning, great vid

      Matthew Dockray wow, just a really rich note then, but G1 is a bass note these other basses are super basses, I can’t sing high like them but can sing low so that’s why they are put as bass or even bass baritones, so I’m either a bass or an oktavist. But G1 is a notable good note, any lower and many people might not hear the difference, or it might sound lower but not gruff.
