I don’t know what kinda fucked up “best covers of all time” TH-cam algorithm brought me to this cover but that was beautiful my dude. Absolutely beautiful.
This is a great arrangement! I am an Imogen Heap fan and I think this song's brilliance gets overshadowed by how it became a meme, so I'm so happy to see something like this get made!
I love this arrangement! These chord voicings are great, you got the perfect tone for this piece, and the use of the "bride trem" gives a kind of lo-fi vibe
Wow, I'm _obsessed_ with your tone here, and the arrangement is absolutely gorgeous. I especially love the chord voicing around 1:20, it's beautiful. You've earned a new subscriber :)
well done. nailed the spacious beauty and haunting majesty of the original in such a lovely and very very stratty way. thank you for sharing this fine work.
Ayyyy yo Jake you done a great job man! Hide and Seek is the kind of song where formulating an instrumental cover is a huge uphill. But, man, you knocked it out of the park. Where the original had these shifting tides of forte an piano decisively cut by sheer walls of voices, you've substituted tasteful but precisely executed flourishes, a wispy and ephemeral dreamlike tone, as well as grab bag of some of the most pleasantly peculiar chords mixed in. Really dude, great stuff. That Strat has got some nice warm tones, What amp are you playing through? Or are you going direct to the PC? Either way, if you'd permit it, I would totally love to sample this on a rainy day and see what I could come up with.
Thanks Zach! I played through a Fender Blues Jr. on this video, recorded with a Studio Projects B1 condenser into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Reverb was added in Logic Pro X. On Spotify you can find a re-mastered version of this cover, which was re-recorded directly into my MacBook (along with all the other songs on my album). 🙂
@@JakeSoffer Man after my own heart! I've got an American Standard Strat and a Jr with this emerald and cream two tone Tolex. Only thing I've ever felt compelled to change was to change the power switch to be a 3-pole so you can have it in standby like a Deluxe. Used to do a lot of recording with Logic in high school. You've inspired me to plug in my audio interface and puddle around for the first time in months! Rcok on dude!
Are you doing the Antoine forearm thing on an electric. Love this version but that’s cracking me up. He’s mimicking a whammy. Which you have. That’s awesome
I think your attention to the original vocal inflections and translating them to guitar was very good!
I don’t know what kinda fucked up “best covers of all time” TH-cam algorithm brought me to this cover but that was beautiful my dude. Absolutely beautiful.
100% agree
@@monyetguru Another agree - stunningly rich cover of one of my favorite IH songs.
❤💯❣️💯
Yep... here too. I started with silver coins or something...
I want this version played at my funeral
This is a great arrangement! I am an Imogen Heap fan and I think this song's brilliance gets overshadowed by how it became a meme, so I'm so happy to see something like this get made!
It takes a special kind of person to be able to do this. Much love Jake Soffer. You are a brilliant muso dude
I love this arrangement! These chord voicings are great, you got the perfect tone for this piece, and the use of the "bride trem" gives a kind of lo-fi vibe
This is a beautiful rendition. Gives a real sad and nostalgic feeling for me. Great talent you have there, keep going.
Lovely pedal steel like tone, just beautiful!
