Old Composer REACTS to JINJER I Speak Astronomy | Reaction & Analysis | Composers Point of View

[@KeyOfGeebz]

🤦‍♂️OMGGGG!! Sooooo sorry for saying "I Speak Anatomy". Old man FAIL without my glasses! Boy am I going to get it now!! Be gentle :)

[@the_____project4582]

I got a good chuckle out of it. We’re music lovers man. That’s the beauty, we can take music seriously but still not take ourselves too seriously. Great reaction as always keep it up man.

[@evenheller209]

All good! When I listen to Jinjer, I tend to speak anatomy, too ;-)

[@rpp360]

I'm sure you do speak anatomy fluently...your lady is a lucky woman.

[@danman1471]

Hello, Geebz. First things first, highly enjoy your input as a DEcomposer, and been watching your videos a bit. But most importantly I wanted to ask your thoughts on how a young guitarist in this day and age can keep his drive to continue to commit to the craft? I mean, there are alot of outside factors in my life right now that might not let me focus fully on practice, for sure, but really I am having problems channeling my feelings to the sound, and after 5 years it' s become to really bother me, and after a year of starting to practice less and less, for the past two months I haven' t had the will to pluck the strings once. Keep doing the awesome things you do, people appreciate it! Best regards from Latvia!

[@KeyOfGeebz]

@@danman1471 Hey Dan. GREAT QUESTION! Thinking of a video response to this because I have gotten a few of the same kind of thoughts/questions from young musicians. But for now, close your eyes and let it flow......

[@MattKrogmeier]

Probably my favorite Jinjer tune. That false ending gives me chills every damn time.

[@SeanD313]

Same!

[@Nightwishmaster]

Absolutely my favorite Jinjer song, hands down. Have you ever listened to The Mars Volta? The part you're referring to sounds EXACTLY like a section of a Mars Volta song to the point where I think about it every single time I hear it.

[@Schmurschau]

Was mine also until i realised she is using lightyears as a unit of time and not distance -.- still a beautiful tune but god it annoys me everytime

[@awakennomore]

I took two friends to see them live a few years ago and the whole time I was like "guys, just fucking wait for it . . " and yeeeaaaahhh she can pull it off live.

[@rezolution6272]

Fair, try out "On the Top"

[@BTAColorado]

"I Speak Anatomy" 🤣🤣🤣... I 'm honored to be the first one to laugh at that! Man, you gonna get it in the comments 😂.

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Oooooooooooh crap - better fix that!!

[@BTAColorado]

@@KeyOfGeebz You said it though, you'll have to edit that out. I understand though, easy to misread as you're filming.

[@tyef572]

I bet the song makes more sense now.. lmao.... but to be honest I think of anatomy EVERY TIME i see Tatiana.

[@alejandrocastillo6664]

it killed me xD

[@rickc2102]

If you ever see her perform this live, she does indeed speak anatomy.

[@falloutfan2502]

Does anyone complain that a song reminds you of Rush's YYZ? Anything that reminds you of Rush's YYZ is, by definition, amazing.

[@dwbooker24]

There's a Mastodon tune on Crack the Skye that just throws the YYZ riff in for a bar. It's amazing, I smile every time I hear it.

[@martindammable]

Now you mention it I can hear it. Kind of like turned around.

[@AmuletMine]

YYZ on crack

[@BrandTLD]

Rush is entirely amazing, thanks to the Pro who's nailed it, as e.g. Opeth go for "Yes" and that's a major difference...

[@freshelfpie]

Yeah, when she kicks that melody up an octave for the finale and belts it out...hair stands on end. Love all their stuff but this sing is my favorite... pure prog bliss.

[@oldmanjimh3165]

No bad Jinjer but I was really impressed with their latest video of "Home Back". It is deep and about their war torn home but great.

[@cbenson513]

Great video and song. That jazzy change up in it is great as well.

[@ZaGaijinSmash]

The riffs in that are mental. Cannot figure out the sub divisions.

[@glebivanov6323]

Great reaction, thank you. It's a "love song" from Tatiana. She was lonely when she wrote it. After 28 (light) years (her age) she still was looking for her soulmate in this or even in parallel universe and she begging Universe for help. That's why we could definitely feel her soul in the last belting part.

[@drew1753]

Their bassist is incredible. I'd recommend another by them but you honestly can't go wrong with what you pick. IMO they don't make bad songs.

[@hanparker9752]

Eugene is a beast!!

[@Duane_Grabert]

Eugene is a bass beast. Absolutely. Vlad is nearly a drumming god. Roman is insane. And then there's Queen Tatiana! The whole band is awesome.

[@bitter_peace]

@@Duane_Grabert but there is no Vlad on this tune, this should be Dmytro Kim their former drummer

[@EdmundKempersDartboard]

Judgement and Punishment will blow your mind.

[@psychonaut1829]

That main guitar riff is insane.

[@shifty7629]

Yeah, I never realized how much there was to it until they released the guitar playthrough track. Every single member of the band is so dang talented.

[@rickc2102]

[@codymazza7303]

what an epic frame to pause it on at 13:00 ...i need that as a poster now.

[@peterkarargiris4110]

This song is sublimity itself. Tatiana is definitely 'goddess level'. Excellent reaction sir.

[@nostalcholy]

The pause at the climax killed me man!

[@JappaKneads]

Music keeps us young...just listen to the youth in the voice of this "old composer"...

[@johannlara]

OMG that voice is great!!!!

[@jimmyh2100]

Jinjer is one of those bands that come along every 20 30 yrs that blows your mind... please keep digging into them

[@drock55551]

That ending gives me goosebumps EVERY time!

[@enescakr4203]

i get really suprised when you mention things about the music, having a trained ear really makes the difference clear.

[@alienlifeform7490]

Amazing how she's so separate and, yet, connected to the beat. She really is a most unique human instrument. Of the gods, all four of them. The engineering too. Meditative and therapeutic.

[@bignose140]

She's a godess!

[@deed5811]

Eugene (bass) has some play throughs on youtube I think you would enjoy. I love his style! The whole band is incredible.

[@benbarnhart56]

This was the first song I ever heard from Jinjer, never looked back. One of the best modern bands out there, so glad I got to see them live too!

[@chrisrickenbach8167]

I really like the analysis from an engineering and mix standpoint. This is something different than other reactions from other folks. It's a nice touch to the total scope of your reaction. Nice work!

[@777malkavian]

Yeah, it'd be great to go more into depth on the technical details! And even a little bit more music theory, as well.

[@boots_33]

Tatiana's voice at the end of the song give me the "chicken skin," every time. I can't get enough of that section.

[@Primal391]

Jinjer- “outlander” is amazing, it’s older stuff but so awesome.

[@RKGrizz]

Thank you for getting me to listen to Jinjer. They are awesome.

[@skullduggery1616]

Great reaction Old Composer!! As an Old Player myself, I really appreciate when a vint... er, I mean "veteran" musician reacts to music as high-caliber and sophisticated as Jinjer! Very insightful. Speaking of drummers, this insane "mad man" drummer is their former drummer Dmitry Kim, who played all the tracks on KOE. He's killer! So, needless to say, it took another insane "mad man" drummer, Vlad Ulasevich, to learn all Dmitry's parts (and the other former drummers of Jinjer, who were all badasses...!), and then take it up notch with the newer Jinjer albums MICRO and MACRO! Here's a vid Napalm just dropped of Vlad's drum play-through of "Under the Dome", another killer track off KOE!!! You should react to it! It's MIGHTY!!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHbLp6GNbL-tqbM

[@WowYeahNena]

El mejor tema de Jinjer, una joya ✨ saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

[@Neonbob]

This was my introduction to Jinjer. IT'S a playlist Favorite. 😊 Transitions are sick. Love the flow & groove.👍

[@johnbedinghaus2390]

Goose bumps galore! Every.single.time!

[@thebenis3219]

It's something about the end passage of the song, but the 'feeling' the outro gives me actually makes me tear up when I listen to her sing into the atmosphere of the music. It's almost like the soul is crying as the sound exits her mouth. It's beautiful and haunting to listen to and I absolutely love it.

[@freerangecitizen]

The beauty here is Your ability to keep an open mind across decades, genres, and generations. Good stuff. In the end your building bridges.

[@davguev]

16:15 I agree. The way she sings "lightyears" in the last verse gives me chills.

[@badfishsoul1357]

Gotta be real, sometimes watchin you react reminds me of my first time hearing these songs. I'm getting goose bumps with you. Glad I found your vid's.

[@jerrykeck1494]

Their arrangements and composition is always on point. Then you haven't even considered lyrical content, being a composer😆😆been a metalhead since the late 70s this band is AMAZING 😈🤘

[@tyrantmind]

Jinjer is fantastic! Would love to see you react to "Home Back", their new song!

[@Duane_Grabert]

Is he ready for sub-basement growls and bosa-nova? Should be fun to see that reaction.

[@nvcn86]

"Come and join me in my rotation" i literally heard "And through it all she offers me protection" ("A lot of love and affection")

[@hugolourenco6981]

You got to try Eluveitie with the song Rebirth. Just a little tease: an harp, a violin, some flutes and an hurdy-gurdy...

[@ZaGaijinSmash]

Perennial is an absolute master piece. Strongly recommend giving that a listen. You've never heard such a brutal and beautiful song about Autumn.

[@laniakea2162]

100% yes!!

[@hanparker9752]

Live🤘

[@ReeSoWhat]

Man.....you are the man!! You've opened my mind to production, engineering and just damn right appreciation for the talent in each of your videos!! Thank you so much.....Im still on a backwards trip going through all your reactions, but every vid teaches me new things as an untrained drummer (who has winged it most of my career), and unfolds and lets me learn all the different sounds, timings and pretty much everything else you cover which equips me like an injection of steroid to my learned brain which I've never had the professional feedback to learn from before! Thank you again bro....alllohahhhh

[@winestore_grindcore3223]

This song reminds me of a late 90s early 2000s band called Taproot. Love Jinjer so much.

[@vicyday11]

I love your perspective on these songs. Coming from your background you have an ear for music that not everyone picks up on. Where most just hear screaming or distortion you hear all the intricate time signatures and the actual composition of the music and instrumentation that went into making the song. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[@dinoarellano]

I like you old man. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and sensitivity with us.

[@Nightwishmaster]

Yess!! My favorite Jinjer song! I just started the video but I'm super excited for this one!

[@nickfortin1675]

This song is on my Best Of playlist. Awesome.

[@alexk3352]

Tool - VICARIOUS, for amazing production.

Thank you for this. Screamed at you through the monitor a few times but laughed every time.

I love the tune of the verse, I've been idly whistling it around the house and at work lately

This is my favorite Jinjer song. Thanks for analyzing it, I enjoy your videos.

[@lspguitar8024]

You are an awesome human, thank you for your reaction video :)

[@LookingCoolZeddy]

I was lucky to see Jinjer in October 2019 before the pandemic hit. Last concert I went to. Mind altering experience. The skill level of the band is just ridiculous.

[@bobevans3209]

Wonderful love song.

[@RampRat1984]

Keep it coming with the Jinjer reactions! Especially some of their live performances! Tatiana has such a great stage presence. Home Back would definitely be a good one to examine.

[@gnovincejr2]

This is somewhat older and they have a different drummer than now but every member they've had has been so damn good it's crazy! I recommend Jinjer "Judgement and punishment" next! You talked on how different every song has been and diverse, well this song adds a little Reggae Ha! Tatiana also has a "one-take" vocal performance of this song.

[@SpiderJerusalemJr]

Another amazing reaction! Thank you! Some suggestions: Unexpect - The Quantum Symphony Between the Buried and Me - Extremophile Elite Diablo Swing Orchestra - Vodoo Mon Amour Beyond Creation - Omnipresent Perception

[@KlingonWithTheWind]

Glad to see some more Jinjer! You should do Jinjer's "Perennial" next.

[@gedece]

you should see this song live, it's amazing.

[@ericdravenX00X]

Hey, Geebz... Its crazy because u are wording Tatsiana's vocal abilities sounding like a Goddess as all the Jinjer fans do.... Awesome video!

[@andritti]

Aloha Geebz!!! You are the man! Please don't stop doing this. I have, so far, learned A LOT from your experienced and intuitive comments about a lot of my favourite bands/artists... Hat off to you, kind Sir🙌 Please, keep on checking more Jinjer, Gojira, Opeth, Mastodon, Deftones and Tool... Take care. Abraço de Portugal

definitely a talented group of folks. another multi-talented wonder is Anna Murphy of Cellar Darling...you've never heard a hurdy gurdy like she plays. cheers.

[@Andy-th9kj]

I love your stuff, sir. You always have an open mind and find something good in what you listen to. I love Jinjer so much, you hit it on the head that you an hear the "soul" of the performance. Tatiana and the entire band put everything into the music and you can hear it on eveyr track.

[@bjhellstream]

A perfect song. Just one amazing part after another. What a journey! The band and Tatiana are totally crushing it!

[@darkphoenix2]

Haha man, when you paused towards the end and said "don't hate me" I was shaking my head so hard Dunno how much Jinjer is coming up but I think Retrospection would be a good one. Just a badass song, starts with a very cool sounding guitar riff and some Russian singing

[@johnbeamon]

That verse rhythm is rich. 6/4, 7/4 turn. The third line is 4 syllables over 6 beats. I don't know how they charted it, but it works as 12/8 with syllables on 1, 4, 7, and 10. Jinjer uses a lot of extra-beat turns; e.g., in Teacher, Teacher where there are whole stretches without two consecutive measures in the same meter. Just discovered your channel. Really enjoying your take and your perspective on the technical side.

[@jonkwape3097]

The drummer IS THE MACHINE!

[@steve6548]

I am so glad you started this channel. You have introduced me so to much music that I have not heard before. I gotta check out my Jinjer. The band is fantastic, and the singer is out of this world. I have commented before about how I was (still am) almost good enough to "make it" as a guitar player. I AM PRETTY GOOD, but there are many guitar players at about the level I am at. In my limited experience, a band has a tough time finding a good drummer. GOOD drummers are hard to find. Vocal artists, true singers, who don't rely on autotune (CURSE THEM FOREVER!!!) are rare. This singer is just one in a million. The video was such an experience. Absolutely Fantastic! LOVE your channel.

[@darzog666]

I love seeing reactions to Jinger songs by musicians/composers. They usually point out something that I would never have noticed which brings me a greater appreciation of the song and the band. In this video it was a greater understanding of the audio mix/design, so thanks for that!

[@Pfefferquark]

Man these videos are really eye-opening for me. The points you make about specific parts of songs are really interesting. I stumbled upon your channel listening to my favorite music. But the insight and perspective you give on songs and music in general really has gotten me. Thank you so much for appreciating music on different level.

[@NYNmetal]

Hey, I think you should check out Fleshgod Apocalypse - The Violation! Lots of stuff going on compositionally and would be interested to hear your take on orchestra + metal

[@Module79L]

I second this! ^^

[@chillasslofi]

As someone who knows jack shit about music beyond that I like what I like, I'd like to say how much I like your channel. (this comment brought to you by the word: like, and viewers like you) You actually help me understand those parts that make me get goosebumps, and why it is I'm getting goosebumps. Keep it up man, you're doing great. Also more Jinjer please.

[@pratyushbzr]

The main riff is divided into a combination of 6/8, 7/8 and then back to 6/8 so 19/8 I think. That part is really intriguing. Awesome reaction by the way. Waiting for some more Jinjer, Leprous and Thank You Scientist.

[@jamesnorthan3284]

Thank you for acknowledging how fantastic the rest of the guys in this band are. They are definitely in a league/genre of their own!

[@KarRuptAssassin]

Im so glad you did this suggestion, i fucking love this song. if you want another song with really good effects in it, VOLA's "Head mounted sideways" is an amazing song with a lot of effects to it that make it really special on each listen

Great comments - glad you like Jinjer so much! Try some Oceans of Slumber - doomy-proggy metal with a soul singer! - the older track Winter is a good song to start with, but the new album is great too.

[@tommycraven6410]

Tatiana is metals “secret weapon” that isn’t so secret. She may be the most talented vocalist in all of metal(or at least top 3). The band is incredible live too! Seem them in Upstate NY a couple years ago.

[@rickc2102]

Her timbre and control are leagues beyond anyone else.

@@hampstershat123 yes there are so many excellent songs from Meshuggah that need to be analyzed. There's bleed, clockworks, rational gaze, in so many more. Pretty much every song of Meshuggah makes is a complex version of 4-4 with other technical rhythmic patterns around it
