  • Here is my transcription of "Feel" by Jacob Collier featuring Lianne LaHavas and Pino Palladino off of his new album "Djesse Vol. 2". The groove and harmonies in this song are so cool and I knew I needed to figure out what was going on. I started on 7/27/19 and finished on 8/2/19 (Jacob Collier's birthday!) and spent a total of around 20 hours working on it. If you want to see the process of transcibing, I did a three hour livestream yesterday so feel free to check that out. Just so you know, I chose not to notate the harp in the song because the keyboard is doing something very similar, so I felt like it wouldn't add anything to the transcription. I hope you enjoy!

    I’m very invested in music theory and harmony. The harmony in this song is literally orgasmic and when I listen to this with my eyes closed I have physical reactions to the harmony.

    Awesome work! However I feel that you might have over-interpreted a few things. I don't think Jacob used as much microtonality as you have transcribed. Take measure 125 for instance. Some microtonal variations may result from vibrato, as in this case. I feel transcriptions should help in understanding musical ideas, and I think you unnecessarily raise the complexity of simple ideas. Jacob is a monster, yes, but for the sake of transparency, it might sometimes be reasonable to leave some space for the real complex stuff. I know, this is nitpicking, but I just wanted to give some constructive feedback, as I feel this is the least that I can do to thank you for your efforts! Keep up the great work!

    This is a remarkable transcription. Trying to figure out how to notate where the voices lay soooo far back (the bass part does this quite a bit too) and then steal the time back to get with the simple waltz drum pattern (time: 2:35, m101 through to "never felt this way before") - nice work, this is amazing. I see now how Jacob does it. Also, that Emaj7 chord in m108 is sooo beautiful. Feel- the time stretch, Feel- the bass bounce and play, Feel- the beauty of Emaj7. Nice work Jason.

      Any chance you can do or know where to get the transcription for this Tom and Jerry music. Or at least the main theme at 13 sec and the part where Jerry marches towards Tom at 3 min 44 sec? I might be able to do the theme but not the menacing march music.

    Slightly left-field question: how do you put together the visual elements for videos like this? Do you save screenshots of parts of the score and match them up to audio in a video-editing software? Or is there a simpler way I don't know about...

      Another possible way of working that I use sometimes is the following:
      * Import source audio into Reaper;
      * Line it up to bars, by creating a tempo track;
      * Render chunks of e.g. 4 or 8 bars into separate *.wav files;
      * Import the *.wav files into Polyphone to turn them into a *.sf2 soundfont;
      * In MuseScore, create a stave to play the aforementioned soundfont in the correct order.
      It sounds like a lot of work, but with a little practice it becomes quick enough to be worth it.
      P.S. I *wish* MuseScore would be able to play audio and video files alongside the score natively…
