The album ritual is a visionary masterpiece!!!

This is what happens when a person makes music for themselves and their people, is open to being relatable and is trying to be a better person daily. Instead we have Tik Tok wannabe gangsters influencing the next generation. Can't wait 😂

A truly lovely interview, Joel! It’s wonderful to see a fellow Scot making such a positive impact by creating safe and creative spaces for students. I especially admire how he uses his talents to give back by addressing the global refugee crisis, exemplifying his genuine commitment to social impact and community development.

I love learning about Jon’s background and how his life experiences has affected his approach to his music.

21:42 Collider resonated with my loud resentment of that time, or open eye signal gave me the whistle of hope. I can relate to the fact that you are now becoming a transformational power for people who need it, but I loved how you processed those dark feelings and shared them with us. Because sometimes, before transforming for the better, you have to go through the bitter, and you were that friend who understood. That was also transformational, and you were great at that.

Very great Interview! I'm 60jears old. Jons musik, for me, it is the best antidepresiva ever! I envy him for his creative abilities. Best regards from (crazy) germany😀

I'm one of the rare fans that have followed Jon since around 2006. I've seen him countless times from intimate DJ sets, to the Royal Albert Hall, to Glastonbury and everything in between. Literally everything he makes, remixes and has a hand in, is gold. He has touched me not only with his incredible music but with the subjects that are explored here. I find him incredibly inspiring in so many ways! This post is so soppy I've almost made myself sick!

Ah, the Collective Awakening is imminent again... History tells us that that's usually the case in times of great upheaval. But also that it never happens. I know that of course this time it really will, but it's primarily a coping mechanism by some, inspired by Christianity's extremely damaging linear conception of time. (Grow your own food for a few years, that should make you more in tune with how time really works.) Apart from that, I always cringe when somebody mentions Eckhart Tolle. How is 'everything has happened in the present moment' wisdom in any sense? It's a great illustration of what Daniel Dennett calls a "deepity": Something that sounds profound, but falls apart under scrutiny. It also makes me think of Siddharta and Govinda in Hermann Hesse's novel Siddharta. They visit the supposedly enlightened holy man Gotama, to see if they want to study with him. And while Govinda falls for him, Siddharta is not fully satisfied with Gotama's answers and decides he has to go on his quest alone. To me, Eckhart Tolle is for people who prefer an obvious and safe path. One that has already been walked by others and one that is also little more than a product of the very short time we happen to live in. Nothing wrong with that, but the resulting journey is neither deep nor personal. But the interview inspired me to try some breathing exercises. These are times of great upheaval after all.

My takeaway from this is the statement "If you think, awareness is gone" that's the line that stops my mind

Wonder what those contractual reasons were (must be eight tracks)...

Great interview, are there any links to books etc that he talks about ?

speaking of collabs.... I think Jon and Nils Frahm would create great stuff together.

His work has been life altering for me at times. Very thankful.

Is this all put through Adobe podcast or something? They sound like robots

I've only just learned about Jon thought this video! Thank you!

Love him ever since I heard “sit around the fire” with Ram Dass’s voice. Tysm for this video! 🙏

Big fan, but I can't get into ritual.

Thank you for sharing this Joel! Another book I can highly recommend is The Door to Everything. Such a blessed treat here on youtube - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX3Hlq1si9iZlas

I was listening to Jon around the time that Singularity came out and I appreciate so much that he made that album because afterwards he took me on a new journey with his newer music. His new stuff has had a huge impact on me and became my most listened to albums of all time. I hope he doesn’t look at singularity with pain, as it allowed me to go on his new journey which I didn’t know I needed until I was on it. Singularity is therefore a pivotal album for me because it brought me the most important moments I’ve experienced. I am with Jon whatever he produces now, I don’t need commercial music, just be you mate ❤️

Superb, please more of these interviews with musicians! Different genres, cultural backgrounds, sounds... i.e. tribal, gospel, soul and blues

Jon Hopkins work "Athos" which I was lucky enough to see performed at the Royal Albert Hall, will always be one of the most profound experiences of my life. I hope it sees the light of day some day. I've been a fan since Opalescent and for me, Singularity is the zenith of Jons work. Ritual is what it is and serves a purpose, but it's no Singularity. Still, the guy is truly a genius

thank you both for giving this to us ❤

Great interview with a wonderful musician!

I love how down to earth Jon seems to be. Legend :)

22 a powerful number 22 minutes into the video

Insightful and nice interview!

Loving “Ritual”.

Thank you!

Great interview!! Thank you

Amazing interview!!

The part of you which is asking yourself that question is not your intuition. 😁

What a gift. Thank you!

Great interview and great musician!

I am grateful that I can experience his music in my life. Great questions btw!

so glad this came up on my recs, thank you 🩵

I became a fan with Immunity and saw him live a few times. Then he dropped off my radar a bit but now I'm obsessed with Ritual

I enjoyed that, and Jon Hopkins music is now in my playlist. Thanks Joel and Jon

Hi Joel, do you have a link for the book you mentioned, as I can't find it with a google search. Did you say Sound of Life?

I live in small town near Chicago and I kinda was alone and had some Smallville sxperience like almost anything I like appeared in 5mile radius like Aliens Ghosts I'm playing with Dinosaurs now and hoping to find spaceship Also When I brought some Fossils I found my Fridge started vhaneling Female Longneck Because as I understood Fridge has Very unique metals in the back and you can hear Voices usually 2am There is a lot pf things on Earth they don't tell.you at School Mini Stars inside Caves Like sun but much Smaller 😎 Also nothing really dies Memory stay inside Some srowns asked me to put them into Water or Take them somethere else Because they get bored like We Humans Do.... I never think of people crazy because because they see fairy because I saw them once or twice One Even bite my leg 😂 they sound different and one you hear those small wings with big sound, you just know that it was not a bird or Bug... I know that Atoms and Cells are conscious too, but that's another story... Going to watch some Anime now IT makes me happy Like Eulberg muzik Arigato

for those who are wondering about his broken english. When he speaks german, he speaks very elaborate and sophisticated in a very educated way. He uses many words I dont even know as a native speaker. Hes is truely a role model

He is truely such a versatile personality and wonderful character. Thanks for visiting him!

🔥⚡️

Great conversation! Purpose does give a better life. I agree that focusing on helping children is highly impactful - a gift to our society. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your story and learnings Joel! Appreciated! Shining light!
