Your language at the keyboard is truth-veracity like ancient bedrock-gentle yet fundamental-your harmony occurs as if it’s been waiting for the moment the vibration is found and felt in the hand. Best wishes from a new fan.

    Very pretty piece but I'm having difficulty trying to play it. :( Bars 3-4 it seems like I have to choose between keeping the bass G ringing through, or having the top chords sound clear. Keeping the sustain pedal held so I can let go of the G makes the chords above reeeaallly blurry and evil, played at the recording's tempo. If only I had a sostenuto pedal.

    That the sounds are new, novel, and/or challenging to interpret or define doesn't inherently mean that it's artful. Innovative perhaps. We're all humans seeking complex sounds for our ears to distinguish, and June, you draw a crowd of very peculiar folks hungry for something almost alien in harmony. You're writing the language of the future, maybe, and our primitive ears haven't any clue what this music possibly means yet, but it's surprising. The same can be said for any artistic invention/ movement, and the urge to discredit the value of such work because it subverts paradigms or expectation is just a part of making gains and progress. Step on the gas pedal, don't hesitate to create, your mind is valuable to music, and art as a whole.

    in adding dissonance in excess, you forget to express much actual emotion. to me, jazz is a collection of knowledge, a set of tools if you will, that one can use to express emotion any way they please. i love jazz, but i think this piece uses it so excessively that whatever its trying to express becomes incomprehensible.

      Why does music need to express emotion? Art can serve whatever purpose you want. What if what it's 'trying to express' is purely itself, in an abstract sense? Not all music has to be programmatic, indicative of human emotion, or telling a story, etc.
      A technical etude is just as valid as an epic love ballad, in an artistic sense, as there's no objective 'emotional' standard to aspire to.
      Besides, to me I found this piece rather touching, particularly measures 7-8, and the resolution to final chord. It's all subjective at the end of the day, forgive me for my rant

  • @Chachboon1
    @Chachboon1 5 лет назад +1

    In my opinion less is more.
    Individually these are lovely chords, June is a talent, but there are so many extensions/alterations there’s only so much the ear can take until it starts sounding chaotic.

    • @UkuleleAversion
      @UkuleleAversion 5 лет назад

      Well that’s subjective then because this really doesn’t sound chaotic to me.

    • @Chachboon1
      @Chachboon1 5 лет назад +1

      Absolutely; my opinion.
      It’s chromatically complex with intense chords in succession. I love ‘spicy’ harmony, but I sometimes find Jacob/June’s harmonic language hard to listen to. Less chromatic harmony in between might just give the ear time to process the function of the more complex chords.
      Adam Neely does a good video on striking this balance.

Jacob’s voice leading is very strong with lots of jazz extensions and I feel like being pulled in many directions. Messiaen’s runs of chords are just colours within the same palette which I find easier to listen to. Though I completely appreciate I’m likely a minority and most will prefer Jacob!!! (I notice some of Jacob’s more recent songs have dialled this down a bit - maybe trying to go more main stream?)
