      He has become famous for his non-standard attitude to harmony and rhythm, and for brilliant audience participation events like this. I saw him live in Cambridge, UK and it was genuinely magical. Man is a wizard

    • @camelCase_
      @camelCase_ 10 месяцев назад +24

      I think that's just physics. The speed of sound is only 1125 ft per second, so audience members standing 100 ft away from the stage hear the beat about 0.09 seconds after it happened, and then it takes another 0.09 seconds for the sound of their claps to travel back to the stage. If the clapping section is at 60 bpm, they're off by 18 percent, and it's even worse when it's faster. It's bound to sound horrible.
      With these long, drawn out notes, the voices will overlap eventually, even if someone is actually off beat. Also, the audience closest to the mic will be heard louder than those farther away, lessening their impact. And on top of that, the changes in pitch are coordinated by the arm movements, which are seen at the speed of light, so basically no delay at all.

I don't know where Jacob Collier came from, but it's the perfect time for such a person to come to Earth.

    Having huge groups all singing together like this is always so beautiful! I have a relatively small church, but there's two events I can recall - one being my sister's wedding - in which it was jam packed with people, and the combined weight of so much support and love from every side made me cry, especially in the final chorus of Emu Music's "Hear Our Prayer" - the accompaniment dropped out, so it was just hundreds of voices in perfect unison singing, "We ask with one voice", and I will never forget how I felt in that moment
    (the crying might've also been cause of the whole marriage thing but whatever-)
