@Some Phaggot I mean, you're the classical musician who's tastes are from renacentism to a not experimental romanticism. You should hear some avant guarde music to nearly understand the why of the complexity. I should recommend to you: Xenakis, Rautavaara, Schoenberg, Poulenc, Ravel and Bartók, just for start.

[@davidholzmuller6256]

Whoa. Here's my analysis: - 0:00 - 0:41: Rhythm is 8/4 = 10 * 3/16 + 2/16, starting on the second sixteenth in the first measure (and hitting the first sixteenth in the second measure). - 0:25 - 0:29: The melody is transposed a half-tone upwards. - 0:46 - 0:48: ... - 0:55 - 1:01: The base is 5 over 4, then 6 over 4, then 7 over 4, then 0 over 4 ;) - 1:06 - 1:10: The metre changes from 4/4 to 7/8. - 1:07: The melody transposes by a whole tone upwards. - 1:10 - 1:21: The metre alternates between 4/4 and 7/8. - 1:30 - 1:33: Shifted patterns in 7. - 1:51, 1:58: Syncopated 3/4-patterns. - 2:04 - 2:10: Repeated 3/16-patterns. - 2:18 - 2:21: 2 over 3. - 2:23: The melody is now in E major instead of Eb major. - 2:43: Rhythm gets slower by a factor of 4/5? - 3:02: A IV in the bass, just like in "Crazy She Calls Me". The notes are probably D, A, F#, B, E, G#. And there is the most grinning face I've seen in a while :) Jacob, if (as you said) there is something like "too many ideas" and it is like this, I would love to hear it!

I mean, this guy creates a musical peace of just three seconds just by putting it so off context... Last time I was excited about musical complexity like this it was with Emperor (black metal) or Igorrr (break core). This is everything. And the "from the time of bedROCK" (not sure what he says really, but this is in the original) in 2:31.. The ROCK part (actually sounds like BAGHDAD) is so OUT of the current melody, it just WAKES YOU UP. The whole music of his, is all about being completely awake while you listen. There is no moment of boredom, no moment of "yeah I know this, I heard this 3 seconds ago and it is going to repeat 8 times now". It is still "WHOA this and WHOA that!" I tried to look for anything sounding like this with Pandora, Spotify. NOTHING. Dude you are just ONE of a kind.

Because that's not something you can actually feel, you make that up about certain music (likely when it's more complicated than you're used to). All this then does is make it so you shut yourself off from enjoying certain music because you don't want to like it. It's akin to disliking music when it's made by certain people or for certain reasons. It ignores the actual music.

This is certainly a GRAND arrangement.

Takes me back. Was really into Take 6 twenty years ago and he has taken what they do to another glorious level. Mind blowing harmonies in there.

Jacob is a beast. Brings me back to Manhattan Transfer doing Confirmation in 1981. Jazz comps akimbo!

[@JohnnyMcMenamin]

It wouldn't surprise me if Jacob records these in one take.

7 years later this appears in my recommended and the run at 0:46 still gives me chills

Holy crap you're right

plz elaborate

Brilliant... It's sad to see that there are actually people that have given this a thumbs down though. Is it possible they are unable to comprehend or understand? I suppose that is okay, though this why we are all different human beings. Creative freedom is wonderful thing!

[@jacobanderson897]

Scott Novotny the most common criticism I see of him and his work is that he way overdoes everything he touches. Yes, he's obviously musically talented and competent, but he has no understanding of subtlety and it just comes across as smug and self-indulgent.

I hardly manage to have the 7 versions of myself at the same time, I can’t imagine them singing simulaneously. Congrats for the award, very impressive because technical difficulties are hidden by listening pleasure
