“I revere my audiences..,they’re part of the band” 🙏🏻spreading so much joy to the world, thank you Jacob!

Jacob is such a joy. Such a brilliant communicator, on top of being a brilliant musician. Exceptional talk! So well researched Guy Raz, you knew the detail and formulated good questions around that information. Easy sub, for me...

Gem of an interview! So happy this just showed up as a suggestion. Jacob is an enlightnened being here to spread the love. Infinite gratitude ❤

Just listening to this for the second time 😅the wisdom, authenticity and humility in this amazing human being is just beautiful 🙏🏻thank you so much for sharing it 😊

Listening to him is always a treat :)

Thank you Guy for asking Jacob about how the absence of his father affected him and asking him with very good tack. Though all in all it is really none of my business about his personal life, it really spoke to me. Great interview.

Amazing Interview, Jacob is such an interesting person and Guy is such a Good interviewer, letting the guest all the time to express, and asking very interesting questions. I highly recommend Guy’s podcasts !

Incredible interview! I could listen to Jacob speak for days, I learn so much.

“AI built to exaggerate current forms.” Smartest line I’ve heard in a month.

Such a great interview. I’ve listened to countless Jacob interviews and I haven’t come across anyone who tapped into his thoughts on his own optimism and if it’s easy for him to feel that way; thank you for opening up that conversation.

Excellent articulations of healthy, integrated, honest and possibility-laden thought processes.

2:12 2nd language: avid listener, avid player, avid singer 2:26 found music to be a very very valuable and rich companion to all stages of life right from the very beginnings to the present moment 2:37 lucky to have had access to the breadth of music but also the curiosity of music like: how does this work; why do I FEEL like this when I hear this chord or this sound; how is the energy controlled; what are the human beings trying to say?

3:30 I picked it up as I went along. I was very interested in how to be a bass player or a drummer or how to play piano. …there was no qualifications that I had other than my DEEP INTEREST…and I had 1. a microphone (SM58) 2. A computer 3. Software to layer up 4. these different sounds 5. to imitate and replicate 6. the things I was hearing in the world around me 7. vocals 8. harmonies 9. the way they can layer up 10. eventually more instruments 11. lucky to have that music space/room.

your videos are amazing. i really like it. i am a new subscriber to your channel. can i talk with you Raz?

Great conversation.

T-pain was the one who put me on Jacob.

TLDR: "By the time I was 4 I grew bored with the violin".

47:00 "Jacob have to surprise us, and if he doesn't surprise us he's doing it wrong !" Maybe if they expect Jacob to surprise them with his music, him not surprising them would be the surprising thing ! Hence creating another kind of "surprise paradox" !

11:48 My attitude to creativity in general was: I will 1. use the things I have around me, whatever they are, 2. to make things I care about. The family piano - (like one of my dearest companions) Guitar at age 13 Bass age 14 Sauce pans Spoons It wasn’t so much a bunch of instruments. I didn’t have a huge AMOUNT to create with but I had a MASSIVE APPETITE for creativity. The one thing I ALWAYS had was my voice. I would use my voice to re-create sounds of instruments I didn’t have: trumpets, trombone, flutes, clarinets. Casio keyboard Or any keyboard contains 100 rhythms 200 sounds Bossa Nova, Reggae, Polka, Rock and Roll Tubular Bells Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer Casio to Logic Tons more sounds. Orchestral. Drum sounds. Enjoyed the process of learning, first hand, by touching these materials like “What does this stuff mean? What can it do?” and joining the dots between things I heard on CDs I re-created my own version of that for fun. That ended up being a very valuable way of learning those early ropes.

6:54 I definitely wasn’t a theater kid. I didn’t parade myself about or exaggerate my behavior for others. I think I exaggerated inwards, perhaps: I would feel a lot of things vividly and I would seek ways of explaining them. I wanted to craft stuff I cared about. Being a craftsman appealed to me more than being a showman.
