    Jacob Collier is quite insufferable. He’s completely misrepresented what Rick says in his book, which is that an artist creates a work of art for themselves and THAT is the gift you give to others. If you’re trying to create something for a particular kind of person or demographic you will always come up short and it’s just not what people are drawn to about music. I think maybe he’s trying to misdirect his own insecurities around his, how should we say, less than compelling writing…

    both perspectives are true. They are not opposites of each other, they are conclusions to each other. The way I took Jacobs point is, you do your stuff on your mountain for yourself, and then once you discovered the stuff that moves you, you walk down the mountain and share it with people "look what I found up there". And then you walk back up and see what more you can find there.

    Wow, I can't tell you how much I needed to hear this. I'm an aspiring artist and I've been struggling with the social media aspect, mainly because I felt trapped into following trends and playing into the algorithms when that just isn't who I am. To me, my art has real meaning and I feel that it can help others as it has helped me, but felt it necessary to replicate what has worked for others in order to be heard. Just knowing there are others who value depth and substance gives me hope that I can build a community while staying true to myself. I really appreciate this.

    Music is an expression. Some people, I guess, like to be on 'top of the mountain' away from extraneous factors, influence and noise because they feel like they can be true to themselves and more introspective.... Did Rick say these artists come down mountain eventually to share their work or did he say the public need to walk up the mountain to listen to the music?? Not sure... I didnt read the book ..... Like, Jacob, some musicians are fuelled at the bottom of the mountain amidst the noise....

    Creativity is a form of communication. Ideally, a form which transcends the boundaries of colors/sounds/words/motion in novel ways. This form of communication can be aimed at the self trying to commune its innermost identity (Rick Rubin's point), or, the self trying to commune with someone else's identity (Jacob's point). Both, obviously, are right. Creativity can be communication in either form. Rick's point, is that in order to know what you want to communicate to the world around you through creativity, you first need to develop a personal sense of creative taste that is YOURS, rather than trying to chase the tastes of others. Notice that Jacob stated he made music for himself many years BEFORE making music for others. So a good resolution here, is START OUT by making music and art motivated by trying to please yourself and your own tastes, until you are confident enough in what "good" and "bad" is to YOU that your individuality won't be destroyed by chasing the approval of others. Then, once you have that individuality and backbone, if you choose, you can try to make music and art for others by identifying the forms of "good" you honestly agree with, that they might ALSO agree is good. Doing it this way is less like "letting the world's opinion destroy your artistic individuality", and more like "curating the forms of your artistic individuality the rest of the world might enjoy."

    I've met people with similar personality types to Jacob. They ego identify with things they do to the point where they start to believe they are in some way unique for possessing the talents that they do or for being a creative person in general. So when someone like Rick Rubin comes along and says "anyone can be creative", it threatens how they feel their creativity is different or special because the environment they grew up in sheltered that mentality. I'm not saying their creativity isn't unique or special, but people like this tend to forget that everyone's is just as unique and special. Rick Rubin preaches unlocking a part of ourselves that is shut off from the world by oppressive forces people like Jacob probably never had to face. Jacob talks to trust fund hipsters at colleges who have been able to foster their creativity from their lofty seat of privilege. When they wanted to learn something new as a child, there was no "oh, well that will be too loud" or "that wont make you any money when you grow up", which is what most musicians hear their entire lives. To even assume someone can just be "uncreative" is almost classist in and of itself. I personally find Jacob's music kind of boring. When I listen to it, I feel like he's desperately trying to impress me with his virtuosity and it kills the vibe of the song. Trying so hard to be so perfect that he forgets to let Jacob sing. Humanity is not perfect, so to try and make your music as perfect as possible is going to make it less human.

    Rick Rubin is a genius producer Jacob is a musical genius. Neither one is false or wrong. Different individuals do what's right for their art. They are from different generations. Jacob grew up with this fans paying him and enjoys making art with them. Rick helps artists find their individual voice and does not consider selling music in the process of making it as it can be a distraction. Different times and different schools with different thoughts.

    There's not even a clear-cut definition of "art" or "creativity".. The closest you get to a concrete definition of "creativity", is something like "lateral thinking", which happens in human brains all the time, whether making a sculpture or grocery shopping.. Synthesizing novel ideas from existing ones is "creativity".

    @robinjgill 7 місяців тому

    Truth is generally relative and Rubin is well aware of that. He has done a lot of TM and I suspect a lot of what he says comes from there. Collier probably does not have this background and may have misinterpreted Rubin. e.g. When Rubin says the audience comes last it does not mean the audience doesn't matter, but rather that the creative process should be personally and inherently satisfying for the creator, even before a potential audience is a factor in the equation. A personal example is the covers band I played in. For weeks I was playing famous guitar solos (e.g. hotel california, bohemian rhapsody- that kind of thing). Audiences love it and I like to make people happy but after you've done it a couple of times it can get a bit repetitive and a feeling of personal emotional investment is lacking. I think that's what Rubin's referring to. It's not a slight on audiences. I know a guy who is not hugely introspective and plays exclusively for audiences. He loves it and so do they. Maybe the distinction is between 1) entertainment and 2) creativity as a path to personal, emotional and spiritual development. I tend towards Rubin's outlook.
