Newcomer to Jacob Collier: First time hearing this amazing musician. The thing that amazed me was when the presenter mentioned that in one of Jacobs concerts, there were around 200k people in which 80% were musicians. Now that is powerful! He has interrupted the mainstream of the original jazz/rhythm/blues/ pop and rock, put it in a bottle, shook it up and it burst into this beautiful joyful, smooth, flowing creative (only what Jacob can do) music. 🎹🎶🎤🎷🎸🎺🎻

30:55 children are “bigger” and grow “smaller” as they age because, on a wider scale, they are more connected with themselves. But it’s more than that, they have a tighter and more well defined ego. I think of it as a sort of energy bubble. Then as adults grow older, that energy bubble grows in mass, but it’s harder to contain and to keep in a perfect bubble, so layers will fracture and morph around. But for an adult to achieve a “perfect” formed bubble, or to have a “bigger” presence, as he’s talking about, they have to essentially be in tune with every part of themselves. It’s easy for kids to be in tune with themselves, they’re more completed. Adults are jumbled around.

He mentioned he was an introvert. Perhaps due to that and his not mingling as much in society and being told what the "rules" were regarding social, musical etc. behavior... he was never constrained by any rules musically or even sociably which could have in fact held him back like it does so many of us. Who here on a regular day would feel confident enough to wear that jacket and do what he's doing? lol Seriously though...I would say the world's musical and social rules never seeped into his way of doing things and we all get to benefit from the result. To tie into what you were saying... he never strayed from the rules and norms as a child and allowed his brain to be free to go and do whatever it wanted.

The idea that children are 'perfect' adults are 'flawed' is always tossed around and drives some kind of longing. I think the child always remains within us. I like to think when we are born, we are like a perfectly spherical, cosmic, beautiful marble (really similar bubble concept) We're born pristine and all pretty much identical to each other, but with our own unique beauty. Your purpose is to roll, and we all roll through life collecting things, growing bigger, losing other things. You might end up a bit misshapen. You roll different directions. You might trim off all the excess and become the same marble again. By the end you just roll off the edge. I think the point of life is just to enjoy the journey and just appreciate your marble, the inner core of which is always the same from when you were born and can find a mirror in every other human on earth.

Minimalists like Philip Glass, John Adams, and Frank Zappa broke the mold in the recent generation.

Amazing!!

No doubt, Jacob has amazing musical multi-talents. His creative music writing and arranging, his knowledge of music tech and application of it is also quite amazing. On top of that, he seems to have a near-photographic memory of exactly what his songs will develop, so much so, that often in this presentation, makes it SEEM like at times that his pre-programmed synths/digital recordings (or digital samples) are being programmed in REAL-TIME by non-midi music instruments. The most glaring example of that, is in the last song, where he will sing the bass part, then as soon as he moves to the baritone part, the bass part he just sang "copied" what he had just done, and then he continues to two different tenor levels of singing, with at least 3 parts copying what he had just done. He also almost seamlessly will switch to live real-time controlled vocal harmonies controlled by his keyboard. Back in my only time I tried something like what he did live, I had midi control all the harmonies, but my voice would activate the actual singing going through the vocoder (back in 2003. He also is quite the showman, jumping around on different instruments (didn't seem him play guitar), and do a lot of body/hand gestures that really gives you the full impression of a 100% live concert, while most of it being pre-recorded with a some sort of digital workstation being controlled by the center box in the middle of all of his equipment. Again, he is an amazing musician and composer, and even singer (his range makes up for his non-American Idol sound). And he is so philosophical about music, much of it I agree with. I would however say that the main secret of approaching music (and life) as a child, is having NATURAL CURIOSITY. That curiosity is KILLED in most people from our formal didactic education, where we are TOLD what to think and believe.

@andrewo.6682

I think he is following a click track, either going constantly (which, if he has prerecorded tracks would require a consistent tempo and click in his ear - something that would be difficult to follow sometimes especially with the crowd) or, what I think he's doing, following a premade session with time allotted for him to just loop himself. The first example of him starting to follow the backing track would be at 3:!5 when the bass voices change. What is most impressive about this, to me, is how seamless it is.

He is beyond extraordinary! Those chord phrasing.....@ 7:50-8:05 mercy! Amazing talent!

He is just a master of everything, every instrument…literally the man has super powers!

Holy god, that was crazy. Modern Mozart

What a musical genius! He makes it look easy, from his instrument command, to arranging, to his recording and video production as well as live shows . By his own words he creates and composes first for himself. I'm lucky to discover Jacob Collier. For being only 25, I admire his philosophies on life and music.

And just by the way: all those who have crossed their fingers have no idea about this almost supernatural quality of his mind and music.

34:50 one more philosophical debate, I relate to that so much you have to do everything with as little effort as possible, but that doesn’t mean do it lazily, it means do what you “can do”, and do things by getting a grasp, following feelings, and slowly accelerating the “push” while still having a firm, growing, complete grasp on it. This relates to everything, feelings, physical movements, etc. I imagine it as a feeling. But it boils down to doing what feels right, what you KNOW is right, and using all the potential energy you have to get to where you want to be with whatever your doing. I’ll shut up now:)
