  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2020
  • Jacob Collier plays and transforms a familiar tune through a variety of different emotions. Jacob takes "Londonderry Air" (more popularly known as "Danny Boy") and pulls the song through many twists and turns as he transmutes the piece on the fly. How does the song sound "angry," or "sad"? How about with more complex emotions, like "disruptive" or "betrayed"?

      it’s just such a inventive way to think. Expressing by emotion, exploring language of certain emotion through melody, harmony, rythm and somehow we are able to feel the emotion that You are expressing through instrument, whatever Your instrument of choice is( musical, lyrical, by painting, ect)

      ​@@skaterhugs1147This is a huge misconception and to this day i'm trying to find who spread it first. It's not true at all!! The popular music of those times was folk music. Mozart never played nor composed folk music for the common folk. All the composers of that time (at least up until the late romanticism) were writing educated, more complicated music for the nobles or the rich in general, the only ones that could read it and understand it. So the complete opposite of the "folk". Pop music of today is just a continuation of folk music. Jacob Collier today is much closer to pop music (if not completely embedded in it) than Mozart ever was

    • @the_indecisiveartist_5850
      @the_indecisiveartist_5850 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      As a normal person, I quite agree. Usually I find myself feeling emotions that have no name in my vocabulary, so I got drawn to art and music, sorta as a substitute to the usage of language since I feel things easier than I can explain, this sentiment could most likely be shared by others.
      It is a shame that some view artistic expression as sorta useless, in contrast to the spoken word. While both are important, some find it harder to articulate verbally.
      My head feels like popping when I try to explain things verbally, I feel as if my expressions and art are more accurate.

    We are so lucky that Jacob is so articulate - both musically but also verbally. His analysis of his own thought process was so enlightening. Whether you're a trained musician with a knowledge of music theory, or just a casual listener, everyone will understand and connect with the feelings of these emotions.
    This is a great exercise and one that really shows the value in having a deep knowledge of music theory to draw upon. To have so many musical colours in one's palette to paint with. Jacob showed so many colours and tools here: consonance, dissonance, dynamics, modes, rhythm and more. Brilliant stuff!

And it's a slow, painful realization, which you can hear as he plays it. A slow, depressing melody that represents a hurtful awareness that you've been betrayed by a close friend or a family member.

    Wow! I have only just discovered jacob! He is so musically and verbally articulate. Most people cannot recognise, let alone communicate their emotions, yet jacob can compose on the spot and pick out the key aspects of emotions and express it musically! I am blown away. I will now research what those grammies in the background were awarded for.

      When I first saw the word I couldn't really associate a specific emotion with it, but after listening to it I felt the word had almost gotten a knew meaning to that in hindsight seemed obvious. Very powerful!

    the "guilt" and "forgiveness" combo really struck me here. the low stocky chords made that higher F# feel like the thing you're guilty about, constantly popping up to remind you of itself, and then when forgiveness comes in, that F# is still there sometimes, but gets washed away with the brighter feelings, or notes, of forgiveness over time and... yeah. that part felt really cool to listen to.

    I think part of why Jacob's genius is so admirable is that hes genuinely so passionate and excited about theory. He doesn't try to make others feel dumb or act super pretentious about knowing so much, he just wants to share the magic of it all with other people. THATS how you know he's a true musician.

    As someone with depression who constantly feels guilty about everything, that section really spoke to me. I kept really feeling that heavy F#, like it was something I couldn't get out of. For some reason, the closure one also spoke to me the most. I think the closure and guilty ones compliment each other well too.

  • @AntonLFG

    One of the most powerful traits to have as a musician is the ability to not have to worry about technique, at all, ever. Jacob has mastered that and is literally able to lay out whatever his brain thinks on the keyboard and voice.. Never worry about the how, only the what.

    I think an awesome exercise would be to take someone who hasn't seen this video and blindfold them, then see what they feel with each of these bits. I bet they will naturally pick up on many of them, especially the lesser abstract ones, but it would still be cool to see how someone would interpret it themselves.
