Jacob Collier Plays the Same Song In 18 Increasingly Complex Emotions | WIRED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 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"?

Thank you so much for having me, you wonderful people!
thank u for explaining everything and making my day brighter
You are, in my opinion, the most gifted and knowledge musician i know. Your emotional awareness amazes me. Thats what a lot of music is missing now. Thanks you for giving it to us!
👏👏👏
I think you not only have a gift for music, but also for explaining music on a deep level. You talk about it with such ease, how did you get to that point?
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)
He looks like he just woke up and invented music
My husband agrees, but adds that he's also ready for cereal, Sunday morning cartoon, and yes--inventing music. 🤭🤭🤭

I never want to see Collier try to flirt...
And it was without a doubt the smoothest pick up line I have ever heard.
"Jacob flirts in jazz"
What a beautiful line of poety, my poet friend. =)
I'd say it's more bluesy than jazzy

understatement of the year
My thought exactly. 😳
Hello my name is Jacob Collier and I’m a musical genius. Understatement of the year.
I think it is the best thing for him to say though. Musician encapsulates that he can masterfully play with any type of music. I think he's one of the few true fully realized musicians out there right now. I really appreciate that he calls himself this :)

What astounds me more than Jacob's sheer musical genius is his ability to grow and shorten his hair on command. Amazing.
I read this in Jacob's voice.
Literally!!! This is the only comment I have ever read that has made me laugh out loud.
"The A, which you thought was going to be part of F Major, is part of F sharp Minor - can you believe it?!"
I'll believe anything you say Jacob.

"I've also reintroduced Time" oh thanks jacob, i was wondering when Time was gonna resume
Is that a jojos reference
This made me laugh out loud😂 thank you
*_"...which is reminiscent of happiness....I suppose."_*
I have that exact thought at least once a day.
sigh......
“Time has now begun to move.”
Unbenounced to us, jacob had stopped the flow of time. Thankfully he graciously reintroduced it to the universe
you absolutely nailed guilt. i felt like i was going to be sick hearing it, which is exactly what guilt feels like
For real! I felt weighed down just listening to it.
yeah
Guilt was one of my favourites. I thought it was beautiful.
guilt definately hit the most accurately imo. definately my fav. end chord felt a bit uplifting, but i found myself humming to it without thinking.
It felt like the constant F# on the melody was probably something that he couldn't get over/making him guilty and the melody moving on meant he got forgiveness for that one thing
Jacob introducing himself as a musician is like a giant being described as "slightly taller than most people"
I don't get this. other people also said the same thing. so what actually jacob profession other than musician?
@@namaasliku8642 they mean that jacob is honestly very good at what he does, he understands music and he is kind of a musical genius

When someone like Jacob Collier shows up saying "hi, I'm a musician", it makes me ashamed of all the times that I introduced myself that way.
Please, don't be! You have nothing to be ashamed about. As he would tell you, you're not less of a musician than he is. If you were to make his level the benchmark, that would leave very few musicians at all :)
I feel like my grandkids might read about this guy in 70 years as a Mozart of my time
he really is the mozart of our time
Yes, Dart Nihilius
he is extremely talented but back then Mozart was closer to what we would consider a pop star. Jacob doesn't make that kind of universally salient music
i like jacob he's a good player but not such a good writer, mozart was a genius because of his writing
@@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
We all agree that Jazz is the official flirt music
I mean... ya like jazz?
@@webbedcomet42 I do, do you like jazz??😏
Yes! Lol
more specifically waltz i think
That kind of makes sense... in jazz the rules are kind of abstract, and spontaneity and playfulness are encouraged. You never know quite how something is going to end, but the goal is to have fun getting there. There's a lot of emotion, but also a lot of intellect. Much like flirting, I suppose.
Y'all really hit him with the existential question of "who are you" mid improv LOL
haha
B Can and somehow, he managed to answer it! Unreal
and his response was "Super Ultra Hyper Lydian" in true Jacob Collier fashion
@@Dutchalchemists
It'd be disappointing if he didn't lmao
Not ignoring his musical chops, but EQ is what Collier has in spades. His ability to verbally describe emotions (and show them in his body) is what stood out to me.
EQ? Piano it’s not a digital instrument
@@Untoldanimations I'm assuming he means emotional intelligence
Me too. I find his intelligence and eloquence as engrossing as his music, and displayed in every interview I've heard with Jacob Collier
I was thinking this too! His ability to articulate exactly what he's feeling is mind-blowing 🤯
I need to see this man compose music for Ghibli films. He’s literally magical.
I think Joe Hisaishi is better at that type of music, which is a little more minimalistic and less jazzy than Jacob (no offense)
@@RobinsMusic innovation and introspection go hand in hand so perhaps it could be something truly magical?
Thought the same thing!!!
he's definitely influenced by Joe Hisaishi
I'd rather him make music for a brand new video game
Imagine Jacob writing a score for a film. I think he understands the relationship between emotions and music and how he can convey and express those feelings in an impactful way.
I've been thinking more and more about how much I want to see that happen. But it would have to be a good movie to be worth it.
listen to his tracks Djesse and Once You
I think a fun project for Jacob to do would be to do new compositions for some old silent films. I had this thought while watching this video because what he is doing here is pretty close to what the pianists would have to do on the fly in the old cinemas during the silent movie era.
@@gustafsone yes! maybe tweet this to him or something
i think about this frequently
can we talk about how much of a banger “flirtatious” was
I'm surprised this is not the top comment. Flirtatious was truly amazing.

welcome to Jazz
"The A, which you thought was going to be part of F Major, was part of F# Minor. Can you believe it!?" Cheeky Jacob, you sure got me.
Isn't it crazy how we can feel it even without ever knowing this stuff
It's almost frustrating how much of a genius this guy is.

It's probably a reference to Avatar: The Last Airbender.
did anyone else crack up when Jacob started playing on "disruptive"? He's playing a mellow and easy-going harmony and then it suddenly sounds like the FBI kicked the door down.
I was already enjoying it but your comment made it a thousand times funnier
Perfect explanation
🤣🤣🤣
I did, twice xD
Could not have said it better, I laughed so hard when it happened
As a psychologist who researches emotional patterns in psychopathology, it would be so interesting to see this applied to some of the affective models of certain illnesses. It makes me wonder if it would be a way for some patient to understand the underlying processes they often struggle to recognize
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.
I'd like to see something like The Caretaker but with other psychological issues.
hes a rat
Great idea
The excitement that grows on Jacob's face as he sees his own name and inteprets the way he feels about this is something that brings me a lot of wonder. What do you see when you're lost in these chords, Jacob?
Man was able to accurately embody so many strong emotions with just a single instrument... on the spot. This man is more than just a genius musician 😭

Not only does this man understand music in a way that is incomprehensible to most people but what I enjoyed most what seeing his face light up at seeing his own name. Imagine being so comfortable with who you are and excited by the person you have seen yourself become that you light up and smile at the sight of your own name and interpret it into such a happy melody. Good for you Jacob, absolutely beautiful. Thank you for your talent and loving who you are.
That’s a really wonderful observation. To me, it looked like he was really comfortable yet excited to play his own emotions.
I had the same exact thought, it was amazing to assist
I don't think he was looking at his "self" in that moment, as in the "the image of who we think we are", like gazing in the mirror. I think he was excited to freely express himself at the end of the emotional journey. It was the signal to be himself.
(But it's no wonder that it would be interpreted that way since our culture is fixated on the self-image, or identity)
@@PhrygianPhrog this
Yeah. Imagine loving yourself
It’s so amazing and humbling to watch Jacob’s open-mindedness, creativity, immense skill, and courage to take part in this super unique and bizarre demand/criteria - and with such grace and curiosity. This made me meditate on more than a few ideas he spoke of... Bravo!!!!!!
Nahre Sol 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)
You’re amazing yourself, Nahre!! Continue exploring and remain curious. Love your videos and your drive ❤️.
Would be epic to see a Nahre Sol and Jacob Collier collaboration
PLEASE, do something like this, you too have an amazing way to feel the music.
Every time I see an interesting video, you're already here in the comments, Nahre :)
I like how flirtatious is what sounds the most like what Jacob usually plays in his own music haha
I think "musician" is a title like "soldier" or "doctor".... they are simple, understated words, but greatly freighted. He really is a musician. No higher praise really possible.
"I can't think of a single time of my life, well, maybe one, or two, where I've been really frightened, and then straightaway I've started to flirt with someone"
somehow I believe you Jacob lol
That's more or less my base level of emotion when I interact with someone I'm attracted to.
never almost broken up with your s/o then
I found that very funny at first but I mean...been there done that so It’s Also relatable I guess
That’s called Fawn.
It’s a trauma response.
Being afraid and flirting is how women survive. 🙄
@@margicates553 wow that actually sounds plausible, although that would be simultaneous rather than one emotion after the other
Get you a man who talks about you the way Jacob talks about music.
It's not about getting the man, it's about being the woman :)
Seems pretty unhealthy to have a partner that is obsessed with you.
EatYourVegs ploooooooooooi
Can that man just be Jacob for me?
"I'm experimenting here with a little bit of dissonance"
Really shows what type of person he is:
Betrayal was more like “Being surprised and stumbled to what just happened, and trying to process and understand.”
While guilt (possibly being the one betraying) felt like “Really being deeply disappointed and angry at himself, and really having a hard time forgiving himself in this eternal loop of self-hate.”
I really liked the “ seeing a long lost friend”. It reminded me almost exactly how I felt when I saw my best friend after a month of quarantine.
Jacob's face of self-realization at 14:16 is the most wholesome and beautiful thing I've seen on RUclips in quite a while
made me tear up
it's soo good
Jacob Collier is turning into a cult. This is not a healthy thing.
@@Khayyam-vg9fw also true, but i guess same as most singers
i just really like him
@@Khayyam-vg9fw lmao
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!
I agree! That's what I love so much about him.
Couldn’t agree more
Way to butter the notes
This is exactly it! What makes him so engaging and brilliant is the fact that he can speak musically not just play brilliantly.
Brilliantly put.
Him describing emotions makes him sound like an acting coach as well. So much knowledge and so young. Maybe the most prolific prodigy of our generation.
I love the way Jacob portrayed 'Betrayed'. It sounded like a silent struggle to understand that you've been used, or you've been lied to. 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.
We need more channels like WIRED to feature Jacob Collier more often, so that he becomes more well known across the entire music industry. This man is at the forefront of music pioneering
that right there is a true statement
He is known
Stick to trapping on skywars, omicron xD
y tf is omicron everywhere what
@@zxp3ct3r41 Thats just it. He is just known. U would think a guy with multiple Grammys would be at like popstar levels of well known but there are sooooo many people that have never even heard of him. Its a shame really.
Proof that Jacob is a robot : ''I have not been shown these emotions in advance.''
Maybe not him... just we are 😂😂
Man! You inspired me to create a video like this. As a music therapist, this is what I do all the time with my clients! I create music to match, regulate and transform my clients' emotions and cognitions. In addition, clients join the co-creation. Usually it's so hard to show this process to the world since it's clinical. But this video inspired me. Stay tuned for a bilingual one: English with Chinese subtitle!
"Ah, and finally peace in b flat major" has to be my favourite quote of all time
"parallel camaraderie but a lack of loyalty" Jacob just casually talking about two piano chords helped me understand my relationship problems so intimately and simply thanks jacob
Which emotion?
I only type comments guilt
Jeez it really that hard for you to stay loyal? Kidding-hope everything turns out okay for you!
I can play piano like Jacob, during his confused section.
🤣🤣🤣
I can play the disruptive, but only the left hand part
Hahahhaha same
Jacob is pretty divinely complex, he is a chord stacked on a chord stacked on a chord stacked on a chord.
around 5:30 I thought "Hey, that sounds JUST like a Daniel Caesar song I love.." I go look it up, this man plays the Piano for Daniel. What a small world. Amazing.
Thank you so much Jacob.
The constant note during "inevitable" was absolutely brilliant!
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!
i think theyre called pedal tones. at least in guitar playing it is, I think
@@bonusduckmann9997 Yup, and it's not guitar specific
I think what Jacob did with confused is so incredibly impressive. It’s one thing to be able to play beautifully but to play almost...intentionally poorly, but still with purpose, requires an understanding of an instrument beyond what most will ever achieve.
Don't exagerate it so much man, he's a great musician, but not the only one who can do it
@@ignacioclerici5341 he didn't say he was the only one, but he is admiring his intuition cause of it's difficulty, definitively alot of people who have been playing piano for years don't possess his capability to do what he just did

This man plays the piano better than i can breath
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.
12:10 lol I love how his 4 grammies are just sitting there kind of mixed in with his instruments and equipment. Its almost like he didn't know what to do with them so he just put them there and then moved on with his life.

Most underrated comment thread on this video 😂
How does this guy understand so much about music at such a young age. He's a genius among geniuses, one in billions!
If he wouldn’t be an musician he definitely will be an mathematician
Same thing
Why that?
@@76leopold nah just watch him play and improvise on the piano
How would it make him a good mathematician?
@@76leopold it’s about the way he is able to think. It’s highly logical
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.
This is the one that really stood out to me as well
Quite like therapy but through music.
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.
He didn't have enough time with each emotion imo
I love how his room reflects his personality😊it's colorful,playful and warm.
"What song is that?"
"Danny boy"
"Youre lying"
"Im just feeling mysterious"
I’m just feeling Jacob Collier
The way he played was impressive, but the way he described how he played was even more impressive!
"Seeing a long lost friend" made me almost cry just because the emotion was so vivid
"finally, peace in Bb major"
jacob collier, saying what we're all thinking
10:45 Jacob is narrating his own playing like a commentator would in a FIFA Worldcup Finale :D
Lol XD
Seriously, this guy is other worldly in talent, gift, knowledge, and emotional awareness.
And i agree with myself
I agree with yourself too
I agree with my husband
I love how he makes this incredible music while simultaneously teaching the concepts that go into it. What a fantastic content creator and resource of knowledge.
I love how the flirtatious playing sounded the most like his own playing.

aww M G!!
Jacob Collier's face when interpreting "Jacob Collier" is enough to brighten anyone's day
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.
Closure hit hard for me. I wish we could’ve stayed there longer.
Truly inspiring.
Thank you Jacob!
ok but can we talk about the two times jacob’s been incredibly frightened and then immediately started to flirt-
You can tell how genuine Jacob is when he’s playing he “Jacob Collier” because of how much he’s enjoying himself. Anyone who can accurately depict they’re own picture of them self transparently through music is a more than a genius.
Jacob is a genius. 5 well deserved grammys.
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.
Therapist: How are you, describe your emotions
Me: "Jacob Collier"
Ah yes, everyone remembers Inside Out with the six basic emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Mystery, Triumph, and Serenity.
Lol
I have never seen someone explicitly exploring emotion in music in this way before. It's something that I think every musician is doing whether they know it or not. Thank you for sharing your insight and incredible mastery of music with the world. You are paving the path for many others to follow and express themselves!
I love how he stays in rythm, when he speaks over what he plays
Because it's impossible to not stay in rhythm when speaking as you play.

This just made me realize that in Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, the whole tone scale is frequently used in places to create a similar feeling, mysterious, or perhaps anxious. The music in that show gets better and better the older I get....
After this rendition, I think I want to change my psychiatrist to him! Been numb for 2 years now and today I felt each and every one of the emotions Jacob conveyed!

Jacob: " I've also reintroduced time,"
You're very knowledgeable, not only in music theory but like simply the way you understand human emotions and encapsulate all of those emotions into your playing, and the way you just relate them to all these different aspects of emotional ambiguity and clarity. It's fascinating
the last ones were the most abstract ones but somehow he captured them so well and perfectly accurate i truly felt that
What he did right here is exactly my life goal. If I can do this, then the universe can take me away. Until then, I refuse to die.
same brother, if/when I reach this level of musicality I hope only for a few years to share and teach it.
Have either of you started practicing? Level 1 and perhaps parts of level 2 seem pretty doable. Level 3 is unreal. Share a link if you've tried it!
