QOFYREACTS FIRST TIME TO JACOB COLLIER - MOON RIVER

[@Doinita.]

Check out all Jacob Collier reactions 😊 : kzbin.info/aero/PLBxxPN1NmvZrPFmT8DPLs4db2MeQ1yE0c

[@christophbutler2601]

I love watching other people enjoy JC as much as I do. Nicely done my friend.

[@QofyReacts]

Thanks 👍

[@AssetInvesting]

I feel so blessed to be living during Jacob's time.

[@irisshort202]

Was this guy just born with harmony cries?? How can 1 person be so brilliantly weird and talented! I really don’t think I could live sitting through a full album!! Your reaction-priceless! Grinning like a fool!

[@christophbutler2601]

Dude, you express more words in one minute than I do in one whole day. 😝

[@QofyReacts]

Hahaha brilliant

[@rmac1042]

Jacob does microtonal singing at about 8:25 It’s possible because of his perfect pitch, but the five-dimensional conception he works in is pure genius!

[@nocontender6409]

I can microtonal w relative. I'm not trying to be weird lol I just don't think his perfect pitch is what makes that possible.

[@Thomas-yl8lb]

This is possible even without absolute pitch, albeit more challenging.

[@Marcell0Bass]

First of all thanks so much for watching this one!! next you should check out his arrangement for “all night long” featuring take six 1:43 Herbie Hancock

[@QofyReacts]

Hey Marcello Herbie Hancock!!! yesss And I will check out All night Long

[@miff227]

@@QofyReacts I believe HH was one of his tutors at some point. He references HH teaching him a song in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4POmH5qn8ucbK8 Musician Explains One Concept in 5 Levels of Difficulty ft. Jacob Collier & Herbie Hancock | WIRED

[@DeletedUser73926]

At 11:52 the bass voices on “drift-“ hits sooooo hard They have just enough raspiness to them and are layered really thick so it sounds amazing

[@sarahvancleve790]

Another amazing thing about Jacob Collier is that he'll make hours long videos breaking down note by note how he made his songs, which unadulterated enthusiasm. He's equally as passionate about teaching and sharing his art as he is about making it.

[@robote7679]

He uses the technology like another instrument. His talents are simply enormous and so wide ranging.

[@Nixenji]

That last chord always does something to me... 🔥

[@teamsters3967]

12:55 everyone thinking were he going from here, and then BAAANG. I didn't hear/see that coming.Down the rabbit hole

[@PedroAnacletoOficial]

This is my favorite part... it feels like there are two different songs playing at the same time.

[@Ralphbone]

Sooo cool watching someone experience moon river for the first time!!

[@powerbastion1083]

Wow - 10th time re-listening to this masterpiece

[@kojionkong7058]

I usually never post anything. But i just discovered your reactions tonight, and i *must* say that i am enjoying them so much. Probably because your reactions ans comments show that you understand a lot of what is going on... But like most of us, if not all of us, Jacob's experiments overwhelm you by a bit :-) Then you let it go... And beauty takes over. Thank you for sharing this !

[@Goddess_Moros]

8:35 the way Jacob articulated that arpeggio sounded inspired by sidechaining, which he manually imitates with a his harmonizer (keyboard + vocoder that lets him live harmonize with himself much more than the 3~ note limit with vocoders). Love the reaction! I always try to see what others get out of a song because no two reactions are the same, different details are noticed and in different ways but the enjoyment is shared.

[@biru-kelabu-0821]

Check out "White Christmas" by Pentatonix and Manhattan Transfer, arranged by Jacob Collier

[@QofyReacts]

Will check it out

[@rmac1042]

You may not know that about 8:30 Jacob was singing microtonal scales-quarter tones! Amazing'

[@QofyReacts]

I didn’t know that indeed my music knowledge has its limits that was incredible! thank you

[@devhelen5895]

Best reaction l have ever seen. Dude, l watch a LOT!. AMAZING!.

[@robote7679]

Totally awesome reaction to the most amazing rendition of this or frankly any song. Your emotional roller coaster was priceless and a great ride.

[@yvonnejones9940]

This is my new rabbit hole. I love the layered sounds/tones from one humans that has turned himself into a 30 piece choir! You should check out Sam Robson, very similar in voice layering. Start out with his Circle of life. The thought of the 2 of them collaborating always makes me clutch my pearls and damn near faint.

[@Nancyshank]

I consider Sam Robson just as talented as Jacob. He has an unbelievable vocal range and his arrangements are awesome.

[@Nixenji]

You noticed Jonah Nilsson from Dirty Loops! I've never seen anyone else do that except me, so I thought I was hallucinating. 😂

[@victorsixtythree]

Jacob sometimes does live streams where he breaks down in detail the Logic Session for one of his songs. He did one for Moon River. AMAZING! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5WXXoiIrrx4gLM There's also an excellent harmonic analysis of the song here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4Wneayif7-Ajrc

[@AssetInvesting]

At times I thought I heard one of those massive cathedral pipe organs being played. So astounding throughout. I was beginning to worry about you being able to handle such an ethereal arrangement that was filled with cascading chords and soaring harmonies.

[@QofyReacts]

Answer is I couldn't

[@thage7729]

You still need to see JC perform with Snarky Puppy; a love song in 14/4 called “Don’t You Know”. Then you need to see him soar to even higher heights (yes, they do exist) when he covers “Moon River”… wear a helmet so your skull doesn’t explode. By his own admission, Moon River has over 1200 input lines recorded in Logic

[@Ralphbone]

The Christmas Song and The Bleak Midwinter are 2 other great acapella epics of his!!

[@robote7679]

The Christmas song is so perfect all year long. I normally don't even like Christmas music but I can't stop listening to Jacob's rendition of this particular old chestnut...sorry.

[@rlhcat7662]

I was wondering how crazy it was going to make you trying to separate out all the parts in this. So many times, I thought it was going in one direction, and it made a hard right and left me in the dust. Singing all those parts and piecing the video together seems like it would have taken a year to do. It's technically insanely complex and beautiful, but it seems to be missing the soul of the words. I'm not sure, but maybe there can be too much of a good thing.

[@AssetInvesting]

I was delirious . . . laughing, tearing up, goose bumping, melting, flying . . . . . . . .

[@QofyReacts]

Hahaha all of it

[@kojionkong7058]

Back on this one one year later. Still the best reaction to this song on yt atm.

[@misilen24]

Yes I get the belltones in harmonies. Did you notice changes beteween A440 and A432 ;)?

[@AssetInvesting]

The best ending of a reaction.

[@rmac1042]

Herbie Hancock was the first you called out... extraordinary pianist! He can do that because of his refined perfect pitch!

[@leoperez7098]

i really enjoyed your reaction! keep it up friend!

[@Zenobiadream]

Your reaction is so awesome.

[@erikmardiste]

He kinda reminds me of a barbershop quartet, in regards to harmony. Then throw in 1940 big band and jazz.

[@AussieMacroPhotos]

haha yep!!! Love your reaction :)

[@ErynIstar]

Bruh you leaving the room and just not coming back SENT me😂😂😂😂🤣

[@alessandrovillatoro]

you made more facial expressions than I knew existed

[@Elixear]

1:43 legendary pianist and jazz composer Herbie Hancock. Chacune des notes chantées par chaque chanteuse et chanteur présents dans cette vidéo a été écrite et envoyée à chacune et chacun d'entre eux par Jacob. Prodigieux travail.

[@sergillorens32]

"why?"... proceeds to leave the room

[@dougitoonsdesigns]

Oakwood Aeolians also in there including Naomi Parchment. Herbie Hancock is who you're looking for

[@MrSlimfinger]

Yes

[@Gnomojo]

This guy has legends in his videos cuz they all respect him despite being a kid. Dude had like 4 Grammys already before this video came out he’s a force of nature.

[@Doinita.]

Great reaction 😊

[@AssetInvesting]

Jacob Collier is beyond all of us. He is a 'beyond' being.

[@QofyReacts]

Hahah Hey Wade its been a while!

[@nikolaus5180]

Nice to watch your physical and emotional reactions on this extraordinay piece of musicianship. Isn't he the "Mozart" of the 21th century? I guess you'd agree! I leave an ABO on your chanel! Thanks man!

[@rdwnmusic6912]

7:05: 0_o? "... How many notes?.." Yeah, pretty good JC synopsis right there.

[@Monklane79]

I know the feeling.

[@taryar7973]

Love your reaction!! ✨💛🔥

[@stanbannmusic8334]

Jacob is not of this Earth. Period. Mic drop. Done. When you have an hour and a half to be blown away by this young man's talents check out his walkthrough of the Logic Pro project behind this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5WXXoiIrrx4gLM Just the sheer magnitude of this project is amazing. To have the talent, knowledge, and perseverance to pull it off is somewhere north of ridiculous. Thanks for the great reaction ... now go ... you have watching to do! Take care! Be well! Stan

So good. The song and the reaction video. Thanks for sharing your amazing spirit with us, you made an already glorious day just a bit brighter. Subscribed and hoping you’ll accept my application to be a QOFYgang apprentice. Thanks again. 😊❤️😊

[@nobeezy5357]

Bell tones in harmonies? No I do not understand because I am not an alien like the Jacob Collier 🤣🤣 You're the best QoFy!!

[@christianwagenseil9621]

I‘m sure this would give Henry Mancini the eargasm of his life.

[@MrNenne666]

Love your videos:D

Thank you

I thought that we lost you on that final note!

[@carloshumbertocasanatansan4033]

Nice reaction and amazing arrangement, bro i always enjoy your reactions for this reason i want that you react to "and i am telling you i'm not going" of aca pop kids

[@QofyReacts]

I believe I already did that in one of my livestreams I will repost it

[@carloshumbertocasanatansan4033]

Thank you bro

[@lasse1106]

Please react to Jacob's cover of All Night Long next! It features Take 6!

[@AssetInvesting]

Herbie Hancock is the name you were trying to come up with at the beginning.

[@QofyReacts]

Yes 🙌🏾

[@smaid7825]

Please check out Lua his live performance

[@scottdavis7730]

I can't believe you picked up on the negative harmonies. I've never seen anyone but theorists catch that, and only because Jacob told them...

[@QofyReacts]

Its an easy miss

[@ryanspencerlauderdale687]

Just give him the Grammy already. There’s no other competition.

[@davidwenas4525]

He already has 4 of them.

Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella, 2020: Jacob Collier, "Moon River" Done and done. 👍🏻

[@miamidolphinsfan]

color me not impressed. I love this song, it's from one of my favorite movies, Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) and he interpretation was just too different from the original for me

[@nikelodeon6852]

It's not for the simple minds..

[@timsanduleac1646]

His music takes A LOT of time to get used to. I get what you mean

[@miamidolphinsfan]

[@nikelodeon6852]

@@miamidolphinsfan Are you a child lol..I'm not a youtuber and I don't have to show my face. U however have to develop your music sense to understand his genius. And acting like a fool doesn't help to change your mindset much either.

Totally understand what you mean Kevin his style isn't for everyone
