[@halcyon_r3023]

i know your feels people are like " yeah don't need you in the industry, already have jacob collier. but music is about art and self, even if you are not very skilled or you don't sell, your music has a place in someone heart, believe me." so i don't know maybe you're talking about working in music, but keep playing and keep improving your skills and on top of that "yourself".

[@WuZiMuMCB]

Love it at 4:48 where he casually tunes the string after playing a riff

[@Kdj1996]

Nathan Bran If you listen to some of his interviews he messes around with tuning so he can switch between just and equal temperment. Its kind of crazy.

[@dachhh]

That's called showmanship.

[@enemyhero]

That's called copying Victor Wooten

[@eNergievlh]

Thats the thing about human progress, we build on top of each others finding. Kind of what makes this music possible, I'm sure Victor would agree ;)

[@Voe198]

The string slipped. It was in no way intentional. He does it before at 4:43 too, while playing those bass lines. Then continues to adjust. That string is pretty grossly out of tune, no where near equal OR just temperament. Idk if he has been experimenting with string tunings on his bass during live shows. Im sure he will. Though I believe he likes to keep the bass note equally tempered, while justly harmonizing above the fundamental.

Same here, I think a lot of prog rock/metal fans dig him. But I remember as a kid hanging out with other fans, and they'd turn me on to Frank Zappa, Chick Corea and Return to Forever, Al Dimeola, etc... I think prog/metal fans tend to be music fans/appreciators in general.

[@johnnulf624]

Everyone is so polarized lol. Some of Jacob’s music hits me emotionally; some doesn’t. Fields of gold didn’t really do it for me, but I found this whole jam super catchy. He is incredibly talented, but art is all about compromise. Sometimes minimalism is key, other times it degrades music by making everything sound the same. Jacob definitely isn’t a minimalist, but I appreciate that he doesn’t water down his genius grasp of theory.

The volume of a few things is a bit off IMO, overheads on the drums to name one, but it's so nice regardless. I like how the crowd didn't/couldn't really sing along to begin with, but he kept holding their hands until they could sing on their own. Fantastic ability to draw in the crowd.

By the end everyone is almost like right on it! So wow cool! Omg the lyrics and his vocals leave something to be desired albeit he ran around like a mad man playing over 5 instruments while keeping perfect time and singing two sets of lyrics. Geez.

I really wanna know more about his looping/sampling system/method

[@rolandcr]

I think it is operated backstage

[@argh01hass]

I've read that he has the looping / samples STRUCTURE predefined, then he fills it in real time with his voice and the instruments. So he knows that whatever he plays, e.g. in the second 8-bar phrase is coming back in the 128th bar (or whatever). So he has to live perform it, while keeping in mind which parts he lays down when and where, and how they will fit together when they come back in.

[@advocate1563]

He built it with someone at MIT - there's stuff about in on UTube
