[@Haeyena]

what always kills me about this guy is he talks dozens of people into learning his space jazz

[@djadvance2568]

Space jazz is I think the best way I've heard Knower's music be described.

[@ben_ivey]

lel

[@tescheurich]

WDR knows space jazz and every other kind of jazz. They're just less famous.

[@OhGodWhatIsThisAah]

@@tescheurich yeah they're like an academic group, they're there explicitly for the music

[@snertlert.]

i dont think somebody needs to be talked into it. if you watch reaction videos from other musician to louis cole or knower songs its clear that his stuff is absolut eargasm not just for non-musicians but especially for musicians its an absolut eargangbang party.

[@Nebula37]

Louis Cole is a musical pioneer and I love Genevieve's voice. All of the their other players have been top notch as well. I really can't get enough of their music.

KNOWER made the best anime opening I've ever heard

We need to see little animated Louis’s and Genevieves flying about and smashing through stuff with instrument weapons!!!

@@jskanx Someone need to call Ben Levin to do the anim-.. *Oh wait!*

[@guywholikesthesnarkies1435]

Yeah, the chord/root notes progression in the chorus part (2:17) in particular does sounds like the usual chord progression used in a lot of J-pop and J-rock songs (the chorus parts in "unravel" by TK from Ling tosite sigure, for example has the same progression like this)

[@misterwyman7930]

WOW! Just recently discovered the band Knower. Cole and Artadi are a chemistry of music seen once in a generation. Brilliant.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

😊M!

[@EM-yp1cf]

Me too. To hink, it was a Clowncore concert in Paris that got me into Knower, Cole and Artadi.

[@peteEmage]

Please dear lord let this be the direction of modern music.

[@ChrisD__]

It probably won't be. Because of the availability of computers and DAW software, more and more new musicians are going to kids making music from their bedrooms.

[@panicBoydotcom]

Isn’t that Louis tho?

[@soygenial111]

@@panicBoydotcom Yeah pretty much, Chris is just hating becaause computer/software bad, old way of recording and making music good. It's a pretty bullshit argument tbh, and well I can certanly say that music IS at least in a way be influenced by artists like these, even in mainstream pop and such we've got great muscicians behind the stars making amazing live shows and arranging their music in a way that is pretty rich.

[@bibidibabada5626]

@@ChrisD__ lol, Louis Cole is literally producing all his music in his bedroom with a DAW. Tbh there a lot of great independent artists out there making music in their bedrooms, certainly not just "some kids".

[@snoolee7950]

yes well Germany has a medical system so people there can get there needs met, so life is good for them. The US is the only developed country without a medical system. Effin sucks if you need an operation and can not get it. I know of a US synth guy who killed himself because he could no longer walk, was in great pain and "could not pay for the operation." And it was basic stuff, too. IF you do not pay the for-profit insurance extortion fee you do not get an appointment. About all you can do is see an assistant. Well that's not medical care. USA is barbaric greedy place feeds on its own people, caste system make the few rich, corporatist system.

Woooooooooooooooooow! Zappa would be amazed I think! I am not sure if Luis or Genevieve were influenced by Zappa, but their music sounds innovative, avant-gard, very creative and they seem to not care if people will like or not, they do it because they are real musicians, and that´s why this song made me remember of Frank Zappa.
