[@interstellearth]

my man said it. this is it. we needed to read this. cheers.

[@tomburns5231]

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.

[@rebeccawhite5333]

Great summary. Furthermore - Yahaha Corporation actually commented on this video after your comment. Which is pretty cool.

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)

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!

[@liam_iam]

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.

[@calebwright9539]

This piano is boss and I would absolutely suck on it lol

[@musicadesilva]

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

[@TheJester134]

Hey!! Is he a Yamaha Artist yet?!?? 😎

[@westcoastin6]

@@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.

[@jackpage2]

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!

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?

[@itsadriansoares]

Probably prepared at the bottom, putting something like a sock over the strings to create that effect, its a pretty incredible sound

[@SapereAudio]

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.

[@itsadriansoares]

On his community page on KZbin, he's confirmed that he covered some of the lower strings with tape "to give those notes a grooving muted muffle" :)

[@GingerDrums]

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.

[@ElLocoBedoya]

@@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.

[@giovannifarina7429]

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]

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]

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.

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.

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..

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.

This guy is an absolute marvel. Nothing but utter respect for everything he does.

Jacob Jacob Jacob Jacob...There are NO words to describe this and to describe you! Let’s just leave it at that.

Well, of course he's got the piano that plays itself. I always knew Jacob was pure magic!

It's really nice to hear him lay into a groove like this

THE MAGICIAN THAT IS JACOB COLLIER - ALWAYS TAKES IT TO ANOTHER, UNBELIEVABLE LEVEL!!!

If musicians could have a pantheon of gods...Jacob would be one of them.

Just 'discovered' his music today, and I've literally subscribed/unsubscribed about 5 times during the day. His music is too challenging for me to enjoy in a traditional sense, but his genius is such that I just can't stop listening.

[@RolfWamFjell]

This version can be listened to many many times and more, and still it's full of surprises. (Believe me I've done it.) #inspiring

Incredible Jacob!! Another fantastic cover! Mj is certainly dancing to this! 🕺🏿

[@lightspeed417]

Lots of pre-production, programming went into this. Many different loop segments.....in Ableton Live. They are sometimes triggered by his sound man, after the solo sections....... Of course, Jacob's brain can conceive and remember all the parts to make it look so effortless. Check out his live, one-man show, I saw his 1st LA show at the Troubadour.....where he plays all the instruments and jumps from bass to drums to piano with video screens behind him.

0:22 When you start stacking the unison bass notes on each other, it really starts sounding like a Fender bass -- incredible!

If Mr. Roger's neighborhood was still in production he would've been Mr Roger's guest.

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.

[@dabj9546]

He's great and you're great too btw

[@lilackey]

My favorites: 3'00 - the 'woo' hands up and 4'11 - "eternal love shines in my eyes" by low sandy voice... Jacob - keep up the good work, my lil jazz brother 👌

[@evanbetter]

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!

[@misterpaulgg3231]

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!
