There is a sad truth about music... Our Lord and creator Jesus Christ, created us human beings in a way that we dont really like music nor we need it, on the contrary music is actually a torture instrument for the human soul.. Its demons that through our passions like the ambition, tempt us to deal with music. In life you dont have to prove anything to anyone and your talent is not coming with you in the grave. So repent of your sins and turn to the Lord.
You are so incredible Jacob and your generosity in sharing your process is remarkable. Thank you so much. I am learning so much from you and your process and reasoning. :-) 🙏🏼❤️
This was unbelievable. I watched it live. And - after all this - listen to the song gave me an so much deeper view than I already had. This was my Christmas present. Thank you so much Jacob. All the best for you!!! Adam
1:35:54 "i often transpose when i film. i transpose the recording to different microtonal pitches so i don't get bored of the original key." yeah ok this guy is absolutely insane
While others are secretive about their process in the fear of being copied, Jacob is trying to do the opposite but most people are just too beneath him to understand everything he is saying.
It's like copying the homework of the smartest kid in the class - you might be able to write it down but you'll never be able to understand it or do it all by yourself!
it's always amazing to see the little artistic details that we don't usually catch upon first listening, it just makes the experience of listening to it even more magical
@@howtofinishasong9949 since I don’t have perfect pitch I feel like I don’t experience the microtonal key changes as impactfully as people with perfect pitch would, some people w perfect pitch say it’s comparable to seeing color for the first time 😂
I love Jacob's delivery - the calm English demeanour and understatement is so soothing to my ears. (I've just been listening to Jack Conte and Charles Cornell screaming excitedly for 20mins 😉) Congratulations on the 'lovely' Grammy nomination Jacob! 👏
10:55 "Minor chord iv does it for me every time". Oh boy do I agree. It's the best triad in a major key hands down, it's just so emotional. You can not pay attention to the harmony at all but you will instantly recognize this chord - something that happens with no other chord to me.
Jacob: Explains difference tones. Jacob: "So there's 10 minutes of your life that you will never get back" Me, being a senior high-school music teacher: "True, but it's also 10 minutes that my students will now have to endure as I teach them something just to blow their minds"
What he talks about at around 39:40 is something I have been doing for quite a while now but couldn't explain on the guitar. Sometimes I tried to play songs that are on 7 string guitars and since I don't have one, I realized that if I play the upper two notes of a power chord it almost sounds the same as the full power chord. Finally some validation from a pro! :D
Absolutely brilliant. Watching these logic session breakdowns feels like watching a little kid getting excited about showing you his/her toys. Thank you for your child-like awe and excitement, Jacob! It is a joy for us to experience it with you. :) Merry Christmas, brothers and sisters! Blessings from Wheaton College here in the United States.

I thought I knew the track pretty well after listening to it 5000 times while making my own cover but this was super illuminating! Always appreciate the work you do.
Jacob, Do you have suggestions on how I could advertise for my music, and help fundraising for an album, as a young teen musician without many followers at all (about 60 UA-cam subscribers, mostly my friend)?
I’m your fan from Japan and I often use your videos for listening practice. Now I have taken your accent, and I believe that any note goes with a complex harmony
01:29:18 re: your comment about your perfect pitch going flat - FINALLY someone is talking about this! For me it’s now routinely off by a 1/2 step but until now I’d only heard of it affecting mainly people starting in their 50’s (as I am). I would be VERY CURIOUS if you or anyone else can hypothesize as to what causes this as it’s extremely disorienting! Love this video.
It's fantastic that someone of your talent has also been afforded the tools to help with your creations. Great command of technologies combined with well honed skills.
I was wondering how you pitch shifted your voice for high notes in this recording! The way you’ve done it, it sounds pleasant sort of like children, or “the girlies” like you pointed out. Funny that you did this just by changing logic’s speed, I wouldn’t think that that would net you such excellent results… you probably have a unique voice that’s quite conducive to this… it’s fun to compare pitch shifters (Melodyne tends to do a more natural job for my videos since it doesn’t alter the format in quite the same way)
Also Christmas magic was The Consouls Christmas stream last year when this tune was quoted in the middle of a VGM jazz cover, namely Dearly Beloved from Kingdom Hearts (@6:00) ua-cam.com/video/uGn-r_ofoko/v-deo.html
As a musician who developed perfect pitch in childhood, I began hearing A440 a bit higher in the past few days now. I’m thirty now, and like you said about your perfect pitch going flat, mine is very similar. Very bizarre indeed! Thanks for addressing this issue, along with Rick Beato and Adam Neely. Also, thanks for the break downs. (Smile)
You’re the man. As a hobby musician, I find this quite inspiring. It’s about the ideas and not some fancy equipment. Imagine a 250 person ”choir orchestra” singing this arrangement live :)
Your antennae picked up on the subtle, uncomfortable exclusion in the phrase "from one to 92." As you say, it seems to uninvite those older to the party. If you were to re-visit the lyrics, consider "from one to their old age." It works rhythmically and sensibly, and seems unobtrusive enough to slip by without eliciting clucks in the chicken coop.
Jacob- I've just discovered you. Amazing. At 53:31, you pull up Omnisphere Instruments and I noticed "Bells of Vancouver". What on earth are those? There are no bells here to speak of at all. When you're here in April, you'll discover that! lol
I hope to one day hear a Jacob Collier arrangement of any song from the Scrooge musical from 1970 starring Albert Finney. Jacob's music takes on this vibe every now and again that reminds me of it. These live streams are so enlightening. A million thanks and much love.
22:32 - I used to sing bass in an a cappella group which mainly did vocal jazz, and "dmm" was my bread and butter. 😁 But, yes, "dmm" is a very useful syllable in any vocal context.
This is beyond godlike, i feel like a complete noob, only been practicing music for as long as Jacob has been alive 😂 You are an incredible human being J.! I love your harmonies!
You can create a Template On Logic To Automatically colour your regions Jacob ... Save an Organised Session that you Already Coloured in A Template Format Mate , and Take it from there... Love Your Arrangements ;) Keep at it. Don't know you, but do want to hug you :P All The Best
PS: Jacob, after Omicron, I got hyperactivity of my ears...(bright, trebly sounds are a bit overwhelming to me). Was thinking about your perfect pitch change...is your hearing still like that? My friend is an audiologist, said both the illness & the "VX" has caused hearing changes in some people; it often goes away...Vit D helps.👍 Just in case you're still hearing pitch a bit differently in 2023....me too!👂🎶
How I learned the difference tone was the frequencies subtracted. Like hertz minus hertz. But I think your description still works as your overtone numbers are just multiples of the fundamental frequencies. Thanks 😁
There is so much to discover in your breakdown sessions and arrangements and man, all of what you're doing is like an ongoing spiritual epiphany that answers everything I had been looking to explore with music myself (on a FAAAR more modest scale and level, though). I can't thank you enough for... living in our time and so generously sharing your wealth of talents with us, amazing! 🧡🎹🎧
so glad you talked about difference tone because it happened to me on my CD with my acoustic bassguitar. There was suddenly a note I surely did not play and I was hearing this note, but the engineer did not. Now I know what it is.
Hi Jacob. Beautiful stream. I hope I'm wrong, but if I'm right, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. I hypothesize that the gradual lowering of your perfect pitch is most likely an effect of the slow natural aging of your ears, as the upper bound of your frequency perception slowly drops. Sucks to age doesn't it? Protect those precious ears, mate.
Next year Jacob will have 4340 vocals playing all at once.
"so here is the logic session, it stands at 15,000 tracks tall, which is a pretty healthy number of tracks"

Jacob collier seems to have almost single handedly made the number of tracks in a song, relevant.

15:39 Imagine Shaquille O Neal standing in front of a choir as the solo singer in santa costume with his eyes closed
39:50 i heard the root, awesome
I'm waiting for Jacob to reveal that all through this video he was coughing in a microtonal D half flat.
Could some one please explain to me hoe he does not have fase issues? Or maybe the one and only Jacob? Thanks for sharing this! Absolutely loved it
Jacob: "It's just *delicious* to be nominated for a grammy this year."
(Jacob's 5 Grammys in the background sit in silence.)
This was unbelievable. I watched it live. And - after all this - listen to the song gave me an so much deeper view than I already had. This was my Christmas present. Thank you so much Jacob. All the best for you!!! Adam
Almost as unbelievable as quoting this song in the middle of a jazz VGM cover @6:00 ua-cam.com/video/uGn-r_ofoko/v-deo.html ;)
1:35:54 "i often transpose when i film. i transpose the recording to different microtonal pitches so i don't get bored of the original key."
yeah ok this guy is absolutely insane
Doesn't he just do that with a press of a button on the already recorded song though? Because that way it is understandable
thats where you read him as insane? not "The THX theme is a banger"?
not even just the universal pitches, but key words "microtonal pitches"
no but i do that lmao
I think that's pretty normal. Both to get bored of hearing something in a certain key after a while and then just hitting a transpose button.
While others are secretive about their process in the fear of being copied, Jacob is trying to do the opposite but most people are just too beneath him to understand everything he is saying.

I want a show like mr rogers where Jacob talks about music. His voice is so soothing and the way he talks about music is so interesting
sat with a horse playing a kids keyboard
This is a great idea!!!!

iidim iv and III. Really any chord with that #5/b6 of the scale has a similar type of emotional quality.

45:08 “so these notes do not exist basically”
Thank you Jacob. The world needs more microtonal sounds why do we limit ourselves?
to keep a keyboard easy to use and not 5 meters long but yes I agree why do we limit ourselves
Jacob: *Sighs a Gb*
Grammys: We would like to nominate Jacob collier fro his song "Subtle Breaths"

Jacob,
Do you have suggestions on how I could advertise for my music, and help fundraising for an album, as a young teen musician without many followers at all (about 60 UA-cam subscribers, mostly my friend)?
Man keep doing what your doing, it will pay off. Subscribed.
Even Jacob was stalling for about 4 mins like "where do I begin (to explain my mastery)..."
I’m your fan from Japan and I often use your videos for listening practice. Now I have taken your accent, and I believe that any note goes with a complex harmony
I really like your ‘um’ by the way
1:00:29 literally screamed when i saw this how did i not know logic could do that...
Imagine having a computer that can process that many tracks in one session
The only thing that I'm scared of, is Jacob losing his perfect pitch when he gets older.
got some bad news 1:29:20
01:29:18 re: your comment about your perfect pitch going flat - FINALLY someone is talking about this!

Does anybody know why Elon Musk's live is playing on Jacob's channel? Or is it just an error? I have several screenshots of it.
Same issue here
That‘s the infamous Tesla-hack. Jacob‘s channel got highjacked. Let‘s hope he gets back access, and that the videos are not forever deleted.
This reminds me Tatsuro Yamashita’s great a cappella album “On The Street Corner” released in 1980. Jacob’s music is huge advancement of it!
Mindblown always by how you think, Jacob!! Thanks for sharing your process
This was absolutely fascinating and so inspiring.Thank you for these breakdowns, it's so nice to hear all the little details of each arrangement!
It's fantastic that someone of your talent has also been afforded the tools to help with your creations. Great command of technologies combined with well honed skills.
5:52 JESUS CHRIST JACOB COLLIER

Just my attempt to sing a normal song creates unwillingly more microtonal-experiences as healthy:-)))

OF COURSE Jacob is a Ted Greene fan. That makes perfect sense.
I was expecting the ted greene reference! One of my favorite players of all time!
Hard to avoid the word "genius" in this case
How strong is your computer? That is a LOT of tracks
I watch this and keep finding myself with my jawdropping or saying "holy cow." He is a genius at so many levels.
1:25:48 into the livestream, Jacob: “forget I said anything “
The difference tone stuff is REALLY cool, and it doesn't even look that hard to use! Seems like a good way to make some voice leadings much cooler.
This is gonna get me through writer’s block this week, thank you so much. Been thinking about how you do this stuff lately!!
19:15 - Indian Raga Charukeshi arrives. Jacob is a genius.
Can you breakdown erase me?plz
Thanks Jacob. Love your work, you truely are a “musicians” musician. Please come tour Australia again soon, I’ll invite all my mates! 😃
And I'll bring the whole family (we couldn't go in 2019)! Fingers crossed for latter half of 2022 🤞
