1:43:36 ''Too many runs?'' Proceeds to delete one. 1:43:49 Apologises to himself for it. 1:44:00 Completely forgets he just deleted a run and decides to add another one anyway. This, ladies and gentlepeople, is Jacob Collier.
16:20 "she (the baby that sings twinkle twinkle little star) jumps around all of the microtonal keys... I'm sure on purpose..." Jacob, you're too nice... also amazing to see that you're up for the challange. Your IHarmU videos inspire me so much to just make more music!
Somewhere around 2:09:30, Jacob pauses for what seems like an eternity trying to come up with a better name for "Track 12 'VOX 1'". After watching him speed through everything else, doing things like identifying and filtering out a hum frequency by ear, I believe this is conclusive proof that "naming things" is indeed one of the hardest problems in Computer Science on par with P≟NP, off-by-one errors, etc.
Simultaneously dreaming up and Building an artistic masterpiece in rapid timeframe while an adoring audience looks on? Yes, Bob Ross would definitely approve.
Yes that was a great moment - it's so reassuring to know that Jacob admires so many of the same artists I've thought of as brilliant, Brian Wilson being among them.
Oh man, you are just absurd, I can't even understand how prodigy you are. It's amazing to see you harmonize! I loved the video, greetings from Argentina
Jacob, if you made videos on composition, theoretical concepts, and production, you would be the top music RUclipsr in a month, without a doubt. I would cry from happiness.
This is simply AMAZING, Jacob!!! PLEASE do many, many more of these...and then a little more still. I can never get enough of this incredible insight--and so much fun and enjoyable too!
Jacob, there is a profound sense of "shalom" in your creative process: effortlessly brilliant, esoteric and yet utterly accessible, productive and yet unhurried. Thank you for offering your gifts and adding to the world's beauty!
Literally just staring at you in disbelief with that range and those runs and you literally spoke my mind mentioning Tori being the goddess of upward runs. I have mad respect for you and your craft, Jacob. And I absolutely appreciate you sharing your process as well. I used to do a capella experimentation on garageband years and years ago until I felt bored. But with jazz coming into my life these later years, and revisiting my love for gospel music, I might just come back and make some magic. Thanks for the inspiration Mr. Collier
I've been producing music for years and I have no shame to say I'm learning soooo much from you Jacob. I actually applied a lot of your harmonies tricks so my recently in my production, so THANKS A MILLION for the amazing inspiration you give me (and us all for sure).
I just love how there is no time misspent on judging, doubting whether an idea is worth pursuing or not. Hardly any editing. So much to learn from that for me as a mere mortal.
Jacob, you were so obsessed with putting in that F# at the end; you should've just done it in the first place XD no one: F#5: Jacob: MY MIND IS TELLING ME NO, *BUT MY BODY, MY BODY IS TELLING ME YES*
Very cool to see you work Jacob! Such an immense talent, I've been trying to expand my understanding of harmony and watching you're videos has really been helpful! Thank you!!
You are so damn inspiring Jacob, thanks for opening your heart and musical mind to us! Greetings and love from Argentina. (by the way, I saw you live at Buenos Aires and it was an unforgettable experience, hope you come here again!!!)
Lovely! You inspire, move and bring joy to us all. Thanks! Have fun being a singularity of musical genius. Just be sure to not destabilize the universe.
Whenever I hear Jacob talk, or watch him engage so consummately in what he does, I'm always reminded of this little section by John Dewey (the guy of "learning by doing" fame): "Openness of mind means accessibility of mind to any and every consideration that will throw light upon the situation that needs to be cleared up, and that will help determine the consequences of acting this way or that. Efficiency in accomplishing ends which have been settled upon as unalterable can coexist with a narrowly opened mind. But intellectual growth means constant expansion of horizons and consequent formation of new purposes and new responses. These are impossible without an active disposition to welcome points of view hitherto alien; an active desire to entertain considerations which modify existing purposes. Retention of capacity to grow is the reward of such intellectual hospitality. The worst thing about stubbornness of mind, about prejudices, is that they arrest development; they shut off the mind from new stimuli. Open-mindedness means retention of the childlike attitude; closed-mindedness means premature intellectual old age."
thank you so much for these videos, Jacob! these are the most lovely little lectures on harmony i've ever had - i feel that classical musicians (particularly us orchestral instrumentalists) often really neglect the intricacies of harmony - we are so focused on refining our single voices and putting across the most compelling solo melody lines that it's just very easy to be deficient and just get by with the most basic understanding of it necessary. it is so wonderfully informative to hear your slow and patient explanations of your decisions in voicing and harmonizing things, and how you manipulate your software to produce the sounds you want. i've learned so much, and i do dearly hope you decide to continue this amazing series!! -michael
Hello, Jacob! Thank you for the concert in France in Courbevoie. I was sitting in the front row. It was brilliant. My best evening of 2017! My friends, Russian musicians give you a huge hello. They are your fans.
I heard you say a sneaky fifth (with that lip roll) after you said fourths at 44:40. He is clearly having so much fun! I love being in for the ride. Thank you +Jacob Collier

"What chord has Bb and A in it..... Dm7b15" Ahh yes exactly what i was thinking.
Dawson Skinner actually Dm7b13 😎

Luís Oliveira how'd you get a tiny question mark over the equals symbol lol
Fuzzy Chameleon with a tiny keyboard, of course!
naming things is dreadful
I program (not a ton, mostly for music... actually all for music) and make music, its a nightmare
45:54 "What chord has B flat and A in it? Oh, of course! D minor 7 flat 13! How could I have been so foolish?"
F#7/#9 i thought first 🎉 but then you would have to say A# and G## 😅
the root is lame 🤓
I go "Bb maj7" and he just busts that out. I laughed out loud. He reminds me why the best things comes from people who think differently.
I get it. He'll learn from you. I get it. I GET IT!! *I GET IT!!*
Simultaneously dreaming up and Building an artistic masterpiece in rapid timeframe while an adoring audience looks on? Yes, Bob Ross would definitely approve.
On second thought, they may have very similar moods. Gentle loving kindness all the way.
No mistakes. Just happy accidents.
And ever so gently
1:52:10 Being able to EQ an A/C humming an A-flat is some next level stuff right there...
35:05 "Hey, doyouguysndypbdbshortcut....OOOH MAN..YES" 😂😂😂😂😂
A lot of food adjectives. Tasteful. Delicious. Nutritious. Flavorful. Ingredients. It made your stream spicy
1:52:14 I love how he said "Don't tell me" as if we knew it
Lol, he is like the Bob Ross of composition. "Sprinkling is a nice activity" ROFL
Lol dude yes
Roflcoptor hell yeah i just noticed how much true that really is!! 😁😁😁😁😂😂😂
These live “making of a Track” videos are the best thing on the internet. PLEASE Keep Doing Them!
At 54:54 " let me show you wa guan here"
Jacob after visiting the Caribbean
2:06:25 "That is so good. That's what's called nailing something."
I WIIIILL LEEEEEAAAARN
I love the term swimming pools! It is such a visceral and vivid description of that type of sound that - you're right - we all love.
"Yea that sounds normal." Bull this is monstrous
25:19 "We're obviously in a slightly different temperament from Brian..." I chuckled. Bravo, Jacob!
Yes that was a great moment - it's so reassuring to know that Jacob admires so many of the same artists I've thought of as brilliant, Brian Wilson being among them.

Im so grateful that we all moved from watching TV to this type of content online... looking forward for many more episodes! thank you
1:17:10 "I mean that would melt any girl's heart"
Indeed, indeed :")
I'm a straight guy and he's melting my heart.
2:03:26 BEST PART
HES SO GODDAMN ADORABLE I CANT HANDLE HIM
You are BY FAR the most inspiring musician I know of.
32:30 "awh fuck" haha incredible as usual Jacob
01:05:05 - "Eee", "Eeee", "Eee", "Eee"... *KERNEL PANIC*
I've never been as happy for someone to have a budget.
44:04 "Maybe some stupid chords, yeah, that sound's good !"
You've done it again Jacob...incredible to watch & learn as you create such joyous sounds & write fantastic track labels, thank you!!
Oh man, you are just absurd, I can't even understand how prodigy you are. It's amazing to see you harmonize! I loved the video, greetings from Argentina
Jacob, if you made videos on composition, theoretical concepts, and production, you would be the top music RUclipsr in a month, without a doubt. I would cry from happiness.
your use of the word nutritious has inspired me to start eating vitamins.
44:21 That laugh...God, I love that laugh.
This is simply AMAZING, Jacob!!! PLEASE do many, many more of these...and then a little more still. I can never get enough of this incredible insight--and so much fun and enjoyable too!
Jacob at 1:06:43 - 1:06:52: "Something really complex about harmony.. you know?"
Us, normal human beings: "No, we don´t"
Jacob, there is a profound sense of "shalom" in your creative process: effortlessly brilliant, esoteric and yet utterly accessible, productive and yet unhurried. Thank you for offering your gifts and adding to the world's beauty!

The musical painter with many brushes and an unlimited canvas paints another beautiful soundscape.
I've been producing music for years and I have no shame to say I'm learning soooo much from you Jacob. I actually applied a lot of your harmonies tricks so my recently in my production, so THANKS A MILLION for the amazing inspiration you give me (and us all for sure).
never learned so much from a live stream. your train of thought cracks me up man. genius
Is no one going to mention 35:03
I just love how there is no time misspent on judging, doubting whether an idea is worth pursuing or not. Hardly any editing. So much to learn from that for me as a mere mortal.
What an incredible treat to watch your process. Thanks for doing this!
I can't believe how late I am to discover you. Thank you for existing. Music is lucky to have such a talent.
Dang. You work so quickly and efficiently. What an amazing human being. Thank you for sharing your gift of music with us all.
Jacob, you were so obsessed with putting in that F# at the end; you should've just done it in the first place XD
no one:
F#5:
Jacob: MY MIND IS TELLING ME NO, *BUT MY BODY, MY BODY IS TELLING ME YES*
I learn so much from seeing your process Jacob. Amazing gift you have. Thanks for sharing!
Thats great! Thanks for your generosity!
Very cool to see you work Jacob! Such an immense talent, I've been trying to expand my understanding of harmony and watching you're videos has really been helpful! Thank you!!

That's a great job! Thank you Jacob... Really awesome!!
You are so damn inspiring Jacob, thanks for opening your heart and musical mind to us! Greetings and love from Argentina.
(by the way, I saw you live at Buenos Aires and it was an unforgettable experience, hope you come here again!!!)
I love how you identify out of tune singing as "cross terrain modulation". That's hilarious.
"what chord has Bb and A in it..."
I was gonna say Bb major 7 HAH
Wow... Thank you Jacob to share all these fantastic stuff, it's incredible. It's so interesting see how you work on it.
Wow. I still just can't believe how talented you are.
Really a joy to watch and learn from you! Def keep these comin!

Once again, an incredible stream Jacob! Thank you for making this :)

Love you so much, Jacob.
Lovely! You inspire, move and bring joy to us all. Thanks! Have fun being a singularity of musical genius. Just be sure to not destabilize the universe.
AMAZING! Bring on number 3!
I am soooo inspired and grateful for your depth of harmonic knowledge! Damn I could listen to your process for hourssssss, love u J

Michael Chen agreed! It took me 10 years of classical training to realise how much we were missing out on! It's a shame
Thank you so much for your awesome work!!
That beat box session towards the end - totally worth it!
You are so humble, it's inspiring!
Hello, Jacob! Thank you for the concert in France in Courbevoie. I was sitting in the front row. It was brilliant. My best evening of 2017! My friends, Russian musicians give you a huge hello. They are your fans.

You are amazing Jacob 🤘
I have such a huge crush on you as a person. I wish I could just sit and listen to you talk about everything for hours.
Love the process! Thanks for sharing 😎👍🎹
This is amazing! Am glad I found this
01:24:38 the take away from this video is that I clearly need to "go have a fun" with negative harmony. Thanks JC
Immensly impressed! Keep sharing this love ❤️❤️

"So, there are multiple ways of which I'm going to arrive in a key, and I might go with a 7, 4, 6, 2, 5, 1. Because... I'm a jazz musician"
At 30:52 Jacob sounds just like Michael McDonald haha.
Love this so much Jacob, thank you!
At times this is so great it makes me laugh Thank you so Much Jacob
