- I'm pleased to show you all my transcription/reduction of the first two songs of Jacob Collier's "Djesse Vol. 2". This is my longest transcription yet, and by finishing this, I've transcribed a fourth of all the songs on the album (4 out of 16). Keep in mind that since it is a reduction as well as a transcription, there are a few parts that I didn't add, mostly because they were buried beneath the rest of the music so I couldn't get notes that I was sure were right, so I kept them out. An example is the northumbrian pipes part during the "world goes round" section. I hope you enjoy!
Corrections:
m108: the top staff of the keyboard part should be in the northumbrian pipes part
That groove at the end of Sky Above gets me every time, such a jam!
Agreed
I cannot listen to this song through end without putting Bakumbe on. It’s like if I start the intro my next hour and 17 minutes or however long it is are occupied. Fantastic work man!
Ambitious af! You're killin it with these.
Thanks!
*Northumbrian*
Truly awesome.
Outstanding work!
Love your work!!! You are definitely a genius!!!
great work!
4:45 I really don't get the tempo. Jacob seems singing in another time signature, while the pipes stay in 12/8. Am I right?
Actually what is happening there is very interesting. Both the vocals and the pipes are in 12/8, but he makes it feel off by having the rhythm section play in almost a 6/4 time starting on the second eighth note of the 12/8 measure. In the video, you can see how the vocals fall right on the dotted quarter note pulses while the piano, bass, and drums start their cycles after the first rest. It's a really crazy idea to have these different time signatures happening at the same time but it feels very satisfying when everything gets back on beat near section L, so I guess it was just done for effect. Thanks for the question!
@@jasonfieler wow really wanted to know what happened there :D
Are you certain it's a C natural and not a C# played by the guitar and sung by Jacob in measure 32? Also, the E# right before it in measure 31 is tough to hear - not sure if that's intentional or a tuning mishap of the guitar.
Thanks for the comment! As for the E#, I'm pretty sure it's there so regardless of whether it was intentional or some sort of tuning mishap, it's there so I notated it. As for the C natural/C# I always kind of thought it was a C natural but I actually pitch shifted the song up by an octave for that part because it was easier to hear and I found that it is unmistakably a C natural. Thank you for pointing it out though so I could go back and check because there could definitely be mistakes.
Any chance you'd be willing to share your arrangement? Beautiful work.
I am currently working on a way to get things like that to people who are interested in a way that both people get something good out of it but I'm glad you enjoyed this
@@jasonfieler Any updates on sheet music distribution??
How long does it take you to transcribe this?
any ways to get the sheet music for this?
Hey what is the tuning of the guitar?
