Jacob has been extremely lucky that June has entered his professional life. Who else could possibly do what June does for Jacob Collier? And with such sweetness and generosity. They are a terrific collaborative team.

[@nicholasgatlin7146]

All right, I need to say a couple things: First, June, you are a god in so many ways. From your insane transcription project to interviews like these, you are really doing an invaluable service to the music community. Second, is Jacob Collier real? ...but seriously tho, the way in which he breaks down music as something that should be felt first, to the exclusion of standard theory (i.e. odd metered grooves within straight time signatures. 4-2-3 in 6/8? Whoa) has really helped me to break free of this rut I've been in for a while and get back to why I loved music in the first place. I have a feeling that In My Room is just the beginning of a very long journey for him, and he has the potential to reach almost unparalleled heights if he keeps doing what he's doing. The most amazing thing to me, though, is that I get the feeling he doesn't care about that at all; he just does it for the love of music. Anyway, sorry for the long rant. Keep up the good work! I look forward to every video you put out :)

[@BossDrSample]

So what exactly did he mean when he "sang" that 4-3-2 rhythm? It wasnt tuplets, it just seemed like straight eights in 6/8 but what he was saying wasn't straight eights, there was more notes than shown, we're they subdivisions within each beat?

With Jacob having deeply explored the informational world of music from ages 16-20, it's inspiring to hear that he knew to take that down a notch and focus on writing. This is the very beginning of a massive musical generational switch that is affecting so many of us, applying learned theory for the use of emotional exploration... I've never felt so inspired and passionate to learn and play more music.

[@GingerDrums]

It seems like Jacob is individuated and integrated enough as a character to relax himself into the unusual amounts of admiration he gets, and I'm really happy about that. There is some interesting relationship between how I judge the character of an artist and the way I receive their work.

[@erwanleguen3524]

Thanks June & Jacob. I'm a musician, and this video just revealed me something incredible which is just : Me. Me as a musician, even as a human being because the exemple of Jacob shows me that his music is just "himself". For me the key of this video is (in my modest opinion) when you ask him about that duality emotion/information.He answered something like : i tried for a moment to build my stuff not from the "information" point of view. It sounded so sweet to my ears because that's the exact opposite that is taught in the french music highschools. I'm not saying "information" is useless (ofc it isn t), but still, it shows me that you must trust yourself. we have things to say. As the voice (see the part about his favourite instrument - the voice), we all have a unique & different creative mind : this should be only reason why we might trust our emotional selves). anyway, thanks so much for your channel. this video has become the central source of self confidence for me now. it goes further than just "music" Erwan from France

So is mixolydian b6 (5th mode of melodic minor)

[@doubleflatmusic9624]

Lydian inverts to Locrian, Ionian inverts to Phrygian, Mixolydian inverts to Aeolian and Dorian inverts to itself. From brightest to darkest, the modes are; Lydian, Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian, Locrian, and each modes inversion gives the opposite (brightest inverts to darkest and so on). Adam Neely made a very interesting video on it.

[@adamwisz8938]

Dorian is musical limbo

[@J3Puffin]

For all the amazing music theory stuff in this video, the fact that he totally had the "man, I want my high notes back" stage of his life makes me feel much better about myself.

[@PsytranceGOUGAS]

The oracle has spoken.

[@RubenStolp]

I think this dude right here, might just be the single most talented (jazz) musician, speaking in OVERALL terms, up untill now, in history. He thinks so holistically, the way he can bring something like current-day psychology in humans up, then come up with a musical analogy for it, still make sense ad be spot on with it. Out of the box doesn't even slightly honour the way he thinks across so many boundaries. It's so reassuring to me that a guy like this is in the spotlight so much, for there isn't a shred of ego or "look at me" to be found in him. Maybe just a tiny bit, but his love and service to music are at the helm. And the world needs that. Just a guy, who's insanely talented, who can bring so much to the world, and not be completely fucked up personally in some way, who freely shares what he has learned. His insight, wisdom and musicality are all just products of his pure love for music. That, and a room full of instruments and musicians for parents, who probably stimulated him from birth :'D .... Let's not forget that :P

[@juankplaysmusic]

Lol, eaaaaasy there, kid. Let´s just say he is damn good. Amazing jazz piano players are all over the world: let´s not even talk about the deceased. Agree that he is super cool though and seem to be genuinely engulfed by music, which is nice.

[@RubenStolp]

J.C.R Casanova Don't 'kid' me please, we're probably around thesame age ;) ofc there are insanely good players, everywhere. I know, because I've seen it in person, I'm also a jazz-piano player. I probably shouldve elaborated more on what I meant by overall. The ability to communicate and express to the world at this level I think is unprecedented in such a mature and natural way as he does. Obviously the 'deceased' you speak of didn't have the technology to do so, comparing therefore is tricky. So by overall I meant: Can play a lot of instruments at a high level with the piano as best instrument, is 'spiritually' evolved and very mature, holistic and wise in his thinking and relating to the world, relates emotions to musical attributes in a way that you don't hear a lot, is very open to sharing with people from what I can gather, and has quite some theoretical knowledge it seems, in which he brings old and new together. But most of all, what I appreciate, is his attitude that just conveys "music is so awesome, let's talk music, let's play, forget about all the other stuff". He takes the ego out of music at that level, and that's what is needed I think.

[@christiansmith2964]

I definitely agree, but what Tigran Hamasyan does on the piano cannot be ignored. His harmonic concepts and absolute insane rhythmic abilities and his blending of Armenian folk music with jazz makes him one of the most innovative jazz pianists in the world today. I would love to see both of them work together

They’re just jealous....well who wouldn’t be

[@MrYonathanGodjali]

If I have not watched the part 1, I will be completely overwhelmed :D Since I have watched it, I am only moderately overwhelmed

[@robynsteyn9198]

There's just something about a man speaking passionately especially about music

[@joaopereira7044]

it's such a joy to ear this guy talking

[@b3an_]

I don’t even know what he’s talking about, I have no type of musical knowledge... but I’m still watching

[@cyleoharmonica]

Wonderful. thanks for doing this!

[@phillyblunt138]

"Rolling like an egg" -- fantastic analogy!

[@TheJimLang]

Can I just have an extra life or two to play around with this?? What a gift. TY so much June and Jacob!

[@easonwang6654]

How did he hit that low C so effortlessly?!

[@ТеодорДимитров-ш1е]

Perfect pitch...duh..

[@DarlonUsher]

@@ТеодорДимитров-ш1е incorrect, he has absolute pitch, not perfect pitch.

[@DarlonUsher]

@Joo The Pooper perfect pitch would allow him to be able to hit each tone and semitone in a 12 note scale without reference, but he wouldn't have the ability to hit the microtones for each one and semitone. Absolute pitch allows him to not only hit each tone and semitone correctly without reference, but also to hit the microtones in each tone and semitone correctly, without reference.

[@DarlonUsher]

@Joo The Pooper you could say that they are the same, but absolute pitch takes it a step further.

[@DarlonUsher]

As someone with perfect pitch, I can atest that I cannot do microtones, albiet I never really tried or took notice until Jacob did what he did.

[@loiselw]

I have no idea what he's talking about but I enjoy watching his talk passionately
