Louis Cole & Genevieve Artadi of KNOWER feat. by WDR BIG BAND: One Hope | REHEARSAL

[@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.

[@darkfbk]

KNOWER made the best anime opening I've ever heard

[@jskanx]

This is just what I was thinking... Can’t wait to see this epic cartoon! Lol...

[@rpreto72]

Now that you're saying it... But gosh, it feels so good to listen to it!

[@jskanx]

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

[@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435]

@@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)

[@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".

[@dieLX479]

I'll give you an Amen from Germany :)

[@stevenragsdalemusic]

This project is proof that life is good.

[@dashdandelion3681]

i concur

[@dangadingdangading3205]

Fuck yeah!

[@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.

[@PhaktTheIsolationist]

I feel like I'm not equipped with enough knowledge of music theory to truly understand what is happening within anything written by Louis Cole, but it makes me feel good and I fucking love it.

[@NoDerpingAllowed]

You are just where you need to be right now. Savor this time in your life and enjoy the music!

[@matthewgrover8292]

It’s in 4/4. It’s fast. It has a mother load of syncopation. Not very complicated tbh.

[@Ludix147]

You don't need to analyze stuff if you don't want to :) Just keep enjoying the pieces!

[@mint-flavouredsand8943]

If it makes you feel any better, LC’s music theory isn’t that great

[@fredbinding914]

Bang on mate!

[@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.

[@timonsan9793]

Dass grade eine deutsche Rundfunkproduktion diesem genialen jungen Musiker eine Bühne bietet lässt mein Herz anschwellen.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Timon! Willkommen auf unserem Channel, - warum sollte eine deutsche Rundfunkband Knower keine Bühne bieten:)

[@WaaDoku]

The fact that this exists gives me hope in humanity again.

[@ziazaidi3]

Wait, wait, wait... ANOTHER video with Knower? I was not ready for this

[@Ger360Master]

PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY! PLEASE!!!

[@mint-flavouredsand8943]

is this some kind of alternate universe where everything is right? The bones can all flex to eupho and tuba, the drummer is louis cole and and we have one of the richest sounds I’ve ever heard. This is something else

[@rchlclr]

Man I really hope this is on spotify eventually because it is too good to just be on youtube

[@maxcalderon7815]

Heard the snarky version?

[@keegsmarshall6610]

@@maxcalderon7815 actually I think Genevieve's singing was a lot more energetic and on point here than on the snarky puppy video. Not to say she isn't a fantastic singer. She just seemed a little bit less energetic in the sp vid.

Meisterwerk

[@kimikotanaka6713]

The bassist knows exactly how sick those pre-chorus lines are

Love the look on the second chair sax player's face during the release after the sax-solo build section. I felt the same way.

High above me the signal burns bright Here before me is my chance to fly Somehow in my heart I know which way I'm facing Automatically I go, no hesitating Obstacles are many and stand strong But you're with me, I can take them on Suddenly my fears are gone, I am awoken Thunder is a whisper when two hearts have spoken Let's go Me and you and the unknown Together with one hope

[@gabrielemorse]

Finally the version of this epic song I was waiting for. I always wanted to hear a studio/well recorded version if this song, which is one of my favorite off the latest knower’s releases. The game version was not honoring the song, but this one is perfect.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you, Gabriele!

[@joecool2034]

Owen Eastwood This version here is SOOOOO much better!!!

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.
