Classical Musicians React: Cacophony 'Rosetta' vs 'Breath'

[@loojeeb8113]

Henry: (about the random instruments interjections) "...i feel like it's sort of almost a representation of just how invasive grief can be and how out of tune it sounds with the rest of your life...totally in a different key." -- Elizabeth: "...horror can be a very good medium for understanding pain." what intellectuals, i stan

[@nayaluvyalifa5839]

I especially love it when henry described the out of tune instrument sound being a metaphor of how intrusive grief can be... and how kevin explained the moment of silence after the breath video. and on cacophony's music, it's hauntingly beautiful, but it creeps the hell out of me, I honestly don't know how exactly I feel about it. what an extraordinary artist

[@jamesrawlins735]

So glad to see more reactions from Korean indie musicians. I think most kpop fans have the misconception that kpop is the sole music listened to in Korea when there are so many talented performers like Cacophony.

[@meaghanlacelle1437]

I didnt know I needed this music. Have you ever heard something that you didnt know existed but then as soon as you are introduced to it youre like "yes. This is what was missing." I just added her whole album to my playlist. Thank you guys! You guys help me find new music I love AND help teach me music theory that I didnt understand that I was hearing. Love yall!

[@pyrochick08]

I've noticed that in Rosetta the thing she is carrying starts off small and under one arm. Through out the video it gets larger until she falls under the weight of it. I think that is what she buried at the end of the video. In my eyes it feels like it could be the grief and sadness and just the weight of life that builds up to the breaking point, and her burying it is lettinv it all go inorder to start moving on with life again.

[@veeveegem]

WOW thank you for this.

[@StephanieLeMonstre]

To add to that, the end shot looked like a coffin. Her mother was suffering from a long term illness. She carried her mother through that until she died and finally burried her.

[@n5881]

After your first reaction to her i listened to everything she released and let me say that this woman is PERFECT i fell in love with the way that she sings

[@gisels.5769]

SAME 💜💜💜

[@mins332]

The absolute best thing about reaction channels is when they introduce you to something you've never heard or thought about. Whether it be a new artist or even just a new perspective . Thank you Umu for showing them Cacophony and showing me the first time through your reactions!

[@winaldicandra5215]

“Breath” music video ends at 4:16 - the exact day her mom passed away.

[@cunning-curufin]

I really hope she watches this and knows that both her music and her are loved ♡

[@catherinezhou7301]

After you recommended this I checked her out and her album is EVERYTHING. Loved seeing all of the musicians react to the little parts that make her music so interesting! And I can definitely relate to everyone kind of being like "oh my god I didn't know I needed this but now I do". Great video!

[@shengrove]

이렇게 좋은 가수가 있다는것을 알게되어 진심으로 감사드립니다. 즐겨보고 있습니다. 곡에 대한 다양한 시선과 지식들이 제게 정말 큰 즐거움이 됩니다. 앞으로도 잘 부탁드립니다.

[@Ravenscannotfly]

My eyes well up every time I hear Cocophony's music. I've never heard anyone like her. Seeing everyone's reaction to these masterpieces is beautiful. Thank you heaps n.n

[@viniciusgama1951]

Thank you, Umu, for introducing me to this wonderful artist. I literally LOVE all her songs and, for me, it's the best album of 2018. I'll be eternally grateful to you.

[@laserphasers1016]

she’s amazing oh my goddd

[@dawns_portal2618]

Thank you so much for reacting to this artist. Because of you I listened to her album and it has been quite meaningful to me, since this year I lost many people I loved dearly. Her music was able to comfort me during my sadness. Thank you. ❤️

[@4eyesinthecorner399]

Thank you for including the last bit of silence in breath both with the reactors and for us the audience. The song itself is so powerful and the silence allows you to absorb it all and reflect on everything you’ve just experienced and let it all sink in. It both unsettles you and allows you the time to breath.

[@pyrochick08]

I love this whole album. I listen to it quite often.

[@tommysense]

When the reaction video has more views than the music video itself. The power of Reacttothek, I hope Cacophony gets more attention after this reaction, this is so good

[@kudgeond755]

Possibly the best reaction ever on this channel. Look forward to the interview with Cacaphony next year. Happy new year ReacttotheK and best wishes for the spring semester!

[@bobansak2583]

[@eirayu2439]

YES!! I knew you would make everyone react to Cacophony.

[@royakappchen]

This is the first time for me hearing about this artist and "Breath" just moved me deeply. It's raw and honest and you can really feel the emotions with every note and word. I need to check out her other stuff bc this moved me to tears.

[@phantasmagoria217]

Thank you so much for introducing me to this amazing artist. I just downloaded her album . Sometimes you just have an artist that you immediately connect with. Really made me think about love ones I've lost. Even not knowing what she's saying human emotions are universal and her music breaks through. Thanks again.

[@lyxleo2131]

So many meaningful interpretations given by one's thought upon watching Breath and Rosetta. After reading by what Cacophony meant for each video by herself, I'm just shocked. Much thought has been put in the music and MV. Damn, I am amazed with just everything.

[@DaRealZorro]

YESSSSSS!!! I've been anxiously waiting for this one! I'll be forever grateful to you for helping me discover Cacophony!

[@AlleyBetwixt]

Yessss! So happy to get everyone's reactions. Time to go listen to Cacophony's album again. :D

[@quynhphan867]

Yesss K-indie. Please please react Car the Garden on a show called The Fan. His unreleased song Raise me up in that show makes me cry. It's like a desperate, painful cry when facing the reality of life.

[@bobansak2583]

Quynh Phan: I just listened to his "I'm Live" episode from last year a couple of days ago. thanks for the info on the The Fan episodes!

[@yujinions]

[@bebevia]

Thank you for introducing Cacophony to me!

[@Niriixa]

I'm so happy to see this channel regularly pay attention to lesser know (by a western audience) korean artists. Kpop clearly has many different artists that are incredibly talented and deserve your attention.

[@pinkypanda1015]

You guys should check out CHEEZE. She is underrated but her songs like Mood Indigo and How Do You Think are good!

I'm going to go see cacophony live this weekend in Seoul. Thank you, reacttothek!!! I can't wait!! ㅠㅠㅠ

[@azeemnur2018]

I always love when this channel introducing a new song I've never heard before, Korean music scene still has many interesting part that relatively unknown for me. I recommend you to add Jaurim to your list. They're a K-Rock band that caught my attention recently. I love their music and I want to see how y'all react to them.

[@hellogoodbyeandallinbetween]

Thank you for introducing me to cacophany and the great reactions!

[@justdancetube2562]

A lot of people would know K-POP as western music similar to U.S. pop. Now K-POP is so many diverse genres, in one place, I’m so proud…

[@meghnashankar591]

'breath' gives me chills every time without fail

[@s0Shi]

I’m so glad I found cacophony’s music 😻

[@lyntarronghan8518]

The tympani is like the mother’s heartbeat, which provides momentum for the song; and the tympani also indicates the progression of time up until the mother’s last breath. The last breath of the song is indicated by a transition to an almost ethereal sounding harmony, death may be a tragedy for the daughter, but the mother is free from suffering...lol that’s just my interpretation

[@kea8349]

Lyn Tarronghan that’s a beautiful interpretation

[@gisels.5769]

AYEEE CACOPHONY 💜💜💜💜

[@tuffy135ify]

These two songs made me cry uncontrollably.

[@tuffy135ify]

Rosetta is what it feels like dragging yourself through life with grief. Breath is what it feels like trying to reflect on the one you lost.

[@mattnoh3342]

that aspect ratio at 4:16 made me so very happy. edit: for people looking for the darker depressed side of korea, start at googling "han korean meaning", listening to han by tablo, and maybe tablo's solo album. Theres a soft beauty there, that koreans really like and theres no real way to translate it. Bittersweet I guess? 10cm, busker busker, hyukoh's gondry, dean's what2do theres a lot of this soft solemn vibe. Han in korea is something everyone shares and it brings everyone together.

[@windcloud27weapo]

It's sad also that this reaction video gets more views than the original MV... Go watch that MV and support her!

[@angelale6097]

Can you please have them react to a korean show called Hidden Singer?? Specifically the episode with Ailee! It’s a show where the producers find people who have a similar singing voice to a certain singer and it’s the audience’s job to find out which one is the actual singer! Since they know Ailee quite well now, I wonder if they can spot out which singer is Ailee purely based on her voice :)
