  • I knew that Avi Kaplan split from Pentatonix a few years ago, but I just hadn't gone to check out his new solo work. How embarrassed I am that I waited so long. This is AMAZING!
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Avi Kaplan for the first time, performing "Change on the Rise”.

    You may not be aware, but Avi was an opera major, theory/composition minor in college, trained as a basso profundo, and had been offered a position with the Los Angeles Opera just as he was recruited into Pentatonix in 2011. He was also considering a career as a music director, and still pursues that in a way, doing workshops at high schools and universities. He's also co-founder, along with Ben Bram and Rob Dietz (both arrangers and composers themselves) of the A Cappella Academy, a 10-day intensive music camp held every summer since 2014, where kids 12 to 18 from all over the world learn vocals, performance, theory, and specialties like beat-boxing and bass singing (often with sessions by Avi). Avi has said that ACA is his proudest achievement so far in his life. Just to show you why he's so proud, here's the full ACA choir in 2019 performing Avi's original song, "The Seed". ruclips.net/video/XZ89BHmRfws/видео.html

    Bass voices fully mature around age 40. Avi is only 32. I can't imagine how much more rich his voice will become. Tim of Home Free and Geoff of Voice play are both 40. Quarter past Four is one of his best original songs.

      @johndeeregreen4592 Год назад +2

      As a bass, I can concur with the voice not getting it's full resonance until about age 40. I have had a chest range that extends to E1 since I was a teen, but didn't reach the ability to project well below B1 until I was in my 40's. Avi's voice is so powerful at C2 (his low note on this song), it slips past a lot of people the note is actually that deep. You just rarely hear someone with that much power and clarity at C2... this is the area where a lot of average bass voices fake it with strohbass or if even in pure chest voice, their larynx is so low it darkens it... he is still singing with a neutral larynx.

      I feel PTX used to be more experimental with their music, which I suppose made sense as they were exploring their sound in the beginning, and for me, besides their insane talent, it's what made them stand out. They seemed unafraid to go above and beyond, trying out different genres of music and mixing it up in mash ups and in clever arrangements.
      Around the time Avi left, they settled down with pop, almost exclusively, and their arrangements became more predictable or formulaic. I think that's when they 'found their sound', and (this is 100% speculation from me) I believe that it might have weighed into Avi's decision of leaving the band.
      It's rather a common thing to happen for a band, to find a type of music that suits them and run with it.
      Do I think their latest works are bad or commercial? No and not necessarily. Anything can be commercial if it sells. That doesn't mean it isn't well thought out or it didn't take a lot of work to make it happen. They are very talented people and I seriously doubt they're capable of doing 'bad' music.
      Do I like their latest work more than I like their older stuff? No. As I said at the beginning, the versatility and risk taking they used to do were some my favourite things from them, and while I still listen to PTX, I feel they lost some of their 'magic'.

    This was Avi's battle song after a long struggle with depression. It is all Avi...that drum beat you hear is him...Avi said he did use an organ in one part where it changes tempo and of course the clapping but apart from those two...all of it is Avi. Layered with his own voice. Just magical...I love the cinematography too. I also feel it has a Native American flavour to it.... Brilliant production. Liked and Subscribed. Waiving from Australia

    • @michaelmclane8501
      @michaelmclane8501 3 года назад +8

      I am disappointed that both you and Elizabeth think this is Native American. It is native American only to the extent that a war party is getting ready for battle. Avi is Jewish and he is using Old Testament Hebrew imagery, "breathing fire", "you can't tame it", "Jubilee", "Oh Lord I feel the revelling", "Torches", DO SOMETHING? "March (around the walled city)"

    • @justlinsu
      @justlinsu 3 года назад +11

      @@michaelmclane8501 You may be disappointed that some people feel a different vibe regards Avi's song. I saw so many suggesting it was a 'Viking' or 'War' song my comment was from an image of him dancing in shadow and to me I felt it looks almost like a native Indian dance. I am well aware of Avi being Jewish and as I said in my original comment it was his personal battle with depression etc that inspired him to write this awesome song. I will try to find his interview regards this. So please try to be a little more tolerant with others that have differences of opinions. God bless you.

      While he never voiced it, many of us feel strongly that he wasn't "down" with the very commercial route PTX was heading down. He needed to literally voice what was in his musical soul, and it wasn't pop. His influences are largely folk, and it shows in his songs. "Change on the Rise" was released in March 2019 on the same day PTX released "Come Along". Compare/contrast the two videos, both musically and visually. About as different as can be.

    I love, love, love your reactions. Your ear-to-ear grin as you lean forward in your chair, obviously delighted, as you hang onto each and every note makes my heart happy.
    You spoke of the 'breadth of sound' that Avi has in this song. I would add that this song, especially, also speaks to a personal depth, a darkness that isn't scary as much as it is vulnerable and organic and earthy because it is tinged with hope and undergirded with a core strength, ominous and yet not terrifying. I expect that this came out of some very personal experiences for him and I appreciate his willingness to be transparent with us enough to let us see in a little bit. I liked your reference to an American Indian tribal feel. I'd also say a bit medieval?
    I've heard from other commentators that most all of the vocal is indeed layers of Avi and I love that you picked that up. What talent he has and what an astute perceptive ear you have!
    While there have been suggestions that this could/should be soundtrack for Game of Thrones or Vikings, I laughed when I heard it on a television series that I did not expect: Resident Alien, Season 1, Episode 3, about the last 2-3 minutes or so (it's actually a fairly long clip for a soundtrack in a show). It was not what I had envisioned for this song and yet it fit in so very well.

    All the voices are Avi, even the choir, just multi-tracked in. I like that very low, nearly sub-sonic, in the background. He did that sound for the soundtrack to Harrison Ford's move Blade Runner 2049, the track called "Wallace". In some parts it takes you a moment to realize the sound is even there, and that it's a real voice, because it's so low yet clean, not gravely like most low voices.
    Now you want to hear "It Knows Me". Trust me, you do. "Full Moon" is worth listening to, but very different.

    Technically, Avi didn't leave Pentatonix to pursue a solo career. He had gotten burned out by the group's fast pace and intense recording and touring schedule, was frustrated that the group wasn't even considering recording any of his new songs, AND his mother had gotten very ill. There was a break of more than a year between the time he left the group and when he started recording his first solo album (second if you count the album he made with his side group The Sequoias in 2017 while he was still with PTX). Yes, every voice is Avi. AMAZING layering on this track. This is the kind of music he was holding inside of him his last couple of years in Pentatonix. He HAD to get away from the group to get this amazing music out to the public. Avi's solo material is nothing short of magnificent. VERY soul-cleansing and personal. The lyrics in this song clearly show how frustrated he was in his last days with the group. Now that he's in his own career, doing the songs HE wants to do, the genre and style he wants to do, and at the pace he prefers, he is much happier...and I am very happy for him. And I'm excited for the future of his music. He just released the lead-off single for his next (third actual solo) album a couple of weeks ago.
