Jacob Collier Plays the Same Song In 18 Increasingly Complex Emotions | WIRED

Thank you so much for having me, you wonderful people!

The whole tone scale (mysterious) sounds like Mister Rogers Neighborhood to me.

The disruption one is literally just me playing w my little brother

“Jacobian”. Yep. This is a thing now. 💯

interpretation of tier 3:

uncertain hope, reassurance, regular comfortable pattern, peace
discomfort, confusion of what is inevitable, noticing tempo and coming of something slow, fast, comforting, or tragic
questionning the self/self-doubt, heaviness, reoccuring attempts to uplift the mood but unable to stop the reoccuring depressing theme,

hope, it will be okay, move on
curiosity, freedom, experimentation, excitement, joy, expressive freedom, confidence
calm, collection, comfort, tasteful, beautiful

Men I still lern so much with u .... Thank u so much

Play the scale not bass..😢

You can’t get me the way “flirtatious” did then send me straight to the caretaker album after with confused

Disruptive is just my nephew slamming the keys while i try to play the song 😂😂

Most of these are not emotions but maybe feelings, but very impressive and insightful nonetheless!

Never attempted before. sounds about right

what a mature soul

"And in true Jacobian style, This first chord of the Jacob Collier passage is a super ultra hyper lydian chord"

wtf hahaha

What a master of emotions and music.

its fun listening to this the first time through and closing your eyes and guessing the emotion as he plays!

I still believe Jacob is AI. Prove me wrong.

Blessed with the abstract raw knowledge and implementation are just stunning, such a fan and im going to take my music way more seriously now on

I find you absolutely fascinating. Your brilliant expression of such a beautiful gift is so, so impressive, and so amazing.

disruptive made me laugh but the way his face light up in unexpectation and excitement when he saw that he could play as himself, with his emotions was priceless

WOW🎁 oooo I wish the emotion would last a wee bit longer, perhaps next time.

More teacher than musician, more musician than artist

A luscious and expressive exploration of metacomposition live, just genius

Your Jacob Collier is happier than your happy. Love your soul.

So, now we know that Jocob was flirtatious with his music all that time

He speaks like a robot and sings like he has a mental disability. Is he on the spectrum?

Bravo 🌺

He's so brilliant and eloquent! Kudos!

I seriously cannot stand this guy. He is so full of himself, its disgusting.

Is it normal to become fan of this great artist... master... genius?
I'm totally amazed!

„The A, which you thought is part of f major is part of f# minor. Can you believe it?“
No, I can’t, Jacob. But I believe you’re talent

London Derrière

a little more time at each emotion would have helped in my opinion ^^
like: one full go of the melody

‘Confusion’ was perfect. Impossible to hear what key was being played in. Musically very confusing

Thankyou

he just described all the emotions through music, not even close to the danny boy melody=)))

betrayal wasn't as good but maybe it's because he hasn't experienced much of it. betrayal is a mix of grief and anger. for me, betrayal is negative so many minor chords and a very dark theme but with splashes of forte passages that come in waves of rage so turn minor chords using their inversions to reaffirm it and go higher. but that's me

flirtatious was great

This was so fun to watch. I'm a graphic artist, so after watching this felt like I was transported to a whole new world and its music! just amazing.

Annoying

I get it Jacob but I don't. 😂 In all these cases the emotion is certainly being played so you nailed that 100% but the song is lost completely under frills runs that I didn't even recognise the song. It was like you took hammer to the song and just built new songs with the mood etc also you didn't really explain what your thought process was 😂

Ask Jacob if he smokes weed

He eats more corn than anyone on planet earth

His expression of Guilt hits so hard, a virtuoso

"disruptive" was just about the funniest thing ive seen all day

cos he white

That was so interesting to me as a human and a musician. So many dimensions... absolutely fascinating. I loved hearing Jacob speak about the emotions as he analysed how he'd expressed them in music. He was so insightful about emotions themselves... somehow i found it comforting hearing him express all those feelings that I've felt. Brilliant challenge...might try it myself!
