[@cold-fire]

I remember when Yvette was alone on KZbin asking for a drummer to help flesh out her songs, and now she not only has a band, but those same friends are helping her on her solo stuff. It's great to see.

[@Teleken1968]

I'm a (fairly) old man of 50 who's been playing music (keys and guitar) since I was a toddler, and... Hearing your work for the first time a few weeks ago inspired me in a way no one had done in a long time. I was visiting my 76 y/o dad last week and played "A Map, A String, A Light" for him (via Spotify) and he was absolutely moved by your work. Please keep doing what you're doing, and I hope your travels bring you to PHX sometime soon; I'd love to hear you play live, solo or with Covet.

[@mattwing621]

Ken Schuller I had the privilege of seeing them live in PHX with Polyphia and it was amazing

[@InflatableTube]

Matt Wing saw those two in Orlando same tour probably. Great stuff. Great people.

Ken Schuller I highly recommend subscribing to her Jamplay class online. A lot of inspiring stuff there.

[@spiritualtaurus7942]

Met Yvette in London UK at chon gig, she's an awesome chick. The end of 2017 was amazing. Good memory getting to meet and talk with her. Loved Her music for years and been a fan sinse 2016.❤🎸🎤

[@spiritualtaurus7942]

Her set as guest appearance was obviously flawless!😎 she had just released blossom e.p. which is a beautiful masterpiece. It was a great night at garage venue London 2017.

[@MatuellaSlipknot]

I always enjoy the faces that the drummer makes, it looks like he is on a parallel universe along the music. It's so awesome, you can see true joy coming out of Yvette and Covet

To be fair Chon & Mouse on the Keys did a song..

[@jbomber44]

Not sure if this is what she was going for but "Jolt" is a perfect name for this piece. The strong pull of the groove from 6/8 meter really lulls you into a calm sense of "everything is just and controlled" as you steadily bounce your knee to evenly divided measures of 3 and 3; only to have to JOLTed awake by the abbreviated measures of 5/8, or subdivisions of 2 and 3. This song REEKS of tension and release; and that's exactly what makes it great and (maybe?) gives it its name. Phenomenal work once again from Yvette!!

Just discovered Yvette here!She is a fantastic pianist and guitarist.I love this piece which is a cross between Phillip Glass and a jazz syncopation.It's an unusual combination of just piano and drums and it works brilliantly.I'm definitely going to find more of her work.A great emerging talent.

[@caileighbrynn1813]

MY BRAIN IS SO CONFUSED WHAT IS THE TIME SIGNATURE BUT I LOVE IT ITS SO UNCONVENTIONAL

[@RobinC63]

The time signature doesn't stay consistent. It changes all over the place.

[@mjwdrums2869]

I feel it is more to do with the subdivisions, I’m not too sure for the whole of the track yet, but during the beginning (and then at the end), the subdivisions were switching between being phrased as sextuplets (123 456) to being phrased as quintuplets (12 345). Hope this helps :)

Whoa... this song is really awesome, especially towards the end it just gets so polyphonic and crazy yet still super listenable and melodic. And the video is super cool

[@ryanarndt5505]

I really appreciate how as soon as they start playing, all traces of stiff, robotic movement are gone and they're both just grooving. There's something so satisfying about watching musicians get lost in their music and seemingly involuntarily move along with it.

[@jbomber44]

I would pay a stupid amount of money to see the sheet music for this...the time signatures are extremely intriguing to me how almost every phrase begins slightly faster/in a different time and then gradually slow to what you would initially expect the tempo to be.

[@o9rag]

The enigma, the mysterious vibe, the strange feeling this song brings to you is exceptional. We need more music like this. She needs more recognition
