TesseracT - Daniel Tompkins - Cages (from Polaris) - Live in the studio vocal performance 2020

[@TesseractOfficial]

Hey Everyone, thanks for checking this out. It's been far too long but I've decided to make vocal performances of all the songs from Polaris. This is a single tracked live vocal. If you'd like to watch me singing live, join me on twitch.tv/dmtesseract. PS, whoever can spot the wrong lyric wins the internet- Dan

[@T_Tomko]

You disappear while I'm LEFT here. Do i win the internet? Lol

[@mariagheata2133]

This song changed my life and so many years later I am still not over it. Daniel is so skilled sometimes I can not believe what I am hearing. What a fascinating singer.

[@nandaletro]

So true. :)

[@smokejc]

not that many years later, but I hear ya. fantastic album.

[@cynaptyc]

This album inspired me to get "clean" and my life in order! Forever be a fan of their music!

[@DiegoPujolT]

This performance is perfect, and so passionate. The reverb is on point. He has improved so much, and is one of my favorite vocalists as well. And TesseracT’s music... Wow.

[@alaskayoung3413]

@@cynaptyc what was it about the music that made u feel that way?

[@ParthGChannel]

3:32 - I see why you did this song now :D

😂😂😂

[@tonydxx8283]

hahahahahahahaha

[@charleyabel9034]

Hahaha that... and it's when the song gets groovyyy

[@AndrewKola]

It literally took me 15 seconds to realise the joke

[@twinny_mi]

I agree that this was uploaded in a very convienient time period

[@Ironsvillage]

I would so so love to see one with Seven Names. I know it's incredibly hard to perform consistently but I'm sure Dan can do it.

[@DanielTompkins]

I’ve been singing this recently on twitch.tv/DMTesseracT

[@joshfield]

Tourniquet too!

[@Ironsvillage]

@@DanielTompkins shit, just when I didn't tune in! Gotta check your most recent streams then

[@timmyb8694]

Says its offline....

[@timmyb8694]

I would also love to hear a stab at the original seven names..not the remix..

[@thesloppyjoes]

This song is the epitome of Tesseract. Starts off with some nice spacy vibes, Daniels soft voice kicks in as the song slowly crescendo's into this incredible jazzy metal funk djenty thing that ends with 20 seconds of stripped down sound that makes me nearly crash my car I am banging my head so hard.

[@dek86s]

right on!! best description!! this track is building throughout eternety!

[@troruaz]

With how prolific the members have been on flexing their crafts on the intertoobs, wonder if TesseracT could put out a new album (or some songs) during this time? A dude can dream

[@AsAssin4life]

They're working on a new album!

[@tonydxx8283]

AsAssin4life awesome

[@tarkenton3895]

They're doing playthroughs at the minute I think. A lot of screenshots of high quality recording setups from them (and all members on their instruments as well)

[@irockmajorly]

@@tarkenton3895 they recently kinda announced they're doing a live in the lockdown studio thing. I think itll be like the sphere studios shit but all in their home studios. Exciting!

[@anastaciawood5398]

Yep, they are working on new work, but some of the guys are on twitch, and the streams are magic :)

[@haydnmiguelmartinezrodrigu2980]

Man, do Tourniquet, that would be wonderful to listen. Thank u for this content, you make quarantine not that bad.

[@AudioVisionary000]

Dude...His voice is just ahhh. So melodic and harsh when getting into the screaming parts. I love it

[@musician445]

Watching Daniel sing definitely gives a different perspective than simply listening to the records. He has incredible control. So excellent.

[@timmymorris91]

I’ve been listening to Tool today. Thanks for reminding me that I love Tesseract. I’ll put Polaris on now.

[@irockmajorly]

Haha this is one of their most Toolish songs ever too

[@darylsmith5930]

Stellar vocalist. Truly awake. A light in darkness.

[@athinaparianou7025]

If geometry was a song this would be it

[@cr0wguitar]

I love how you increased your range for this performance. Still kept the overall flavour of the original track but added some very nice spice in all the right places.

[@manasyadav1993]

Bro I don't think you know Dan's range. This is decreased range for him. Listen to Maeva or Catharsis by Skyharbor.

[@cr0wguitar]

@@manasyadav1993 You're comparing a live reference to a studio reference. I'm well aware of Dan's range in both talent and discography. Not the point I was making. :)

[@manasyadav1993]

@@cr0wguitar bro you clearly haven’t heard Dan live. Look at his live performance of Catharsis.

[@cr0wguitar]

@@manasyadav1993 I was talking studio version of this song compared to his performance in this live rendition. My comment has nothing to do with other performances. I liked the choices he made to spice things up, as you do with any live performance. Relax, you don't have to educate me. :)

[@AngelIllustrations]

one of the best songs on the album

[@dylanzoney7141]

Ohhhhh! That scream at the end was clean and tasty af!

[@ryan5874]

Still one of my all times favourites besides deceptions concealing fate part 2 tesseract are THE BEST BAND TO EVER HIT PLANET EARTH !!!!!!

[@HaleBopp24]

One of TesseracT's most mysterious songs. Timing as well as intonation are so important in this track !

[@KcYoh]

that voice.

[@ianlauerastroreacts3495]

My favorite song off Polaris. I connect so much with this song. I love the atmosphere, the guitar and bass tone, Dan's voice, and the drums driving the song forward. Such a powerful song! One of my favorite Tesseract songs for sure! Thanks for doing a live Dan.

[@anishkc374]

❤

[@stephenholmes1]

I've never been able to articulate why this band is so good. This does so perfectly!

[@nandaletro]

I love the dynamics of this song so much. It would be awesome seeing TesseracT performing this live. Dan, you are perfect. Thanks for the video!

[@istratetm]

When i first got the album i put my headphones on to give it a listen. Being tired, i fell asleep shortly. When Cages came next i woke up almost crying and with my heart pounding like mad. Loved this song from the first second. For me is one of the best Tesseract songs. Thank you!

[@Oledole1337]

We want another album very soon TesseracT, can you do that?

[@mileswood7963]

My girlfriend said he sounds like if George Michaels from Wham joined a djent band and I cannot unhear it

[@mrhamburgler480]

HOLY FUCK

[@mrhamburgler480]

Same thing happened with me and a friend when letting him hear Diamond Eyes album from Deftones. I'll never forget he looked up and said this reminds me of P.O.D. I cant remember exactly which song or part....but I remember it was a more than fair, spot on comparison though lolol and it kinda crushed my soul tbh lol. Every time I listen to em now I think about that night and I die a little haha. Wish I could remember which exact song and part though, but yeah it was completely accurate 😆

[@jojagachimuchevna33]

Omg! That voice... that look🖤💜🖤

[@Suomi_Perkele]

He's cute

[@vrabek222]

This guy is amazing. Great control of vocals.

[@Davesounds]

For moments like 5:09 is that I love Daniel. Amazing performance. You're my favorite band TesseracT ❤️

[@elensie6897]

Hands down my favourite track off Polaris! Was always hoping for something like this. Thank you Dan!

[@ryanwebster3267]

Wow. Really nailed it! A lot of passion in this performance.

[@amenbouallagui]

We're waiting for the hole album Dan, you've already did Sonder, now it's Polaris pls

[@SchizoidPersonoid]

makes it look so effortless

[@AndrewKola]

I now judge songs on how good they are according to the standards of Tesseract

[@Foxywaterable]

Insane

[@WillEnj0y]

Probably my fave Tesseract song. Also these covers are really great. Not sure if it’s just novelty but some of them strike me as even better than the original versions. Right on!

[@Brave_New_Tube]

Wonderful performance! One of my faves from Polaris. Also, happy 2nd birthday Sonder! Can't wait for the next 🤘

[@karinamoreira8636]

This is so perfect, I keep coming back.

[@dailywisdom1995]

Oh fuck, my favourite song from this album

[@thedebapriyakar]

[Cages] No little secrets left to compare No feelings left of me to dare No worries left for me to despair Only emptiness Enticed by the familiar candlelight I see swaying up ahead You ask, "Was it all for nothing Do you trust in me Are you special?" You're the menace of the night Inquisitive to my request And I ask, "Do you have discretion Assiduity Freedom?" I knew that it was wrong to believe I was letting go And I can't deal with the vice below And I knew that it was wrong I denied you all along You dissipate while I became an isolated fool I am the prisoner You disappear while I'm left here stuck in isolation This is abandoned love You dissipate, I'm full of hate Without hope and vision To disappear into the cage of solitude This abandoned love You dissipate without a hope and vision You are the prisoner You disappear into isolation Build you cages Cage of solitude Build your cages Cage of solitude

[@thetrendisdead1]

Getting to hear this on my new KRK's. Pumped...suspenseful intro is perfect. I love TesseracT.

[@cesarxcastanheira]

My favorite song on Polaris

[@Birbwalker21Mods]

This one gives me chills, but in a good way. love it!

[@jimmygee5]

Can we by any chance get a full band version of this song?

[@AeonicEnnui]

Zebiano - you do realize he’s recording this from his home given COVID-19 and all...

[@thezebiano]

@@AeonicEnnui Yep! I do. But whenever this all is over, they could record a band session :)

[@Ministock85h]

@@thezebiano Or even do a home recording and merge it all up like Goldfinger did with Superman etc

[@thezebiano]

@@Ministock85h Or that! But it will never have the same "feeling" to it. I guess it'll feel the same as the recorded version. And I'd much rather have a version where they're all playing at the same time live.

[@irockmajorly]

I believe Amos kinda dislikes this song so I wouldn't count on it. Sorta how Dan is the only one who wants to play Utopia live
