Actually there are several highlights in this masterpiece, The "Bless You" after a sneeze in the audience, too many to list them all, but musical energy and technique wise that modulation from F to G-flat at 4:30 - 4:40 - Collier uses the 6th step of the F scale, a D, drops it by a semitone, and then uses that as the dominant 5th (D-flat) of the G flat major key, in effect moving up, modulating, up a semitone, by dropping a semi from the 6th... The EFFECT is amazing, and the technique of course is less interesting, but you feel that rush of blood and hairs standing up just from the sheer energy it provides.
It's basically going through the cycle of fourths, alternating between major and dominant sus chords. So it starts on Fmaj, then goes to Bbsus7, Eb, Absus7, Db, Gbsus7, B. Then to bring it back to the top he does like some C7 chord acting as a dominant. Idk the exact voicing, but I like to put the b9 in there just because it sounds dope. Hope this helps!
He starts on that F and just scoots his way around the circle of fourths (circle of fifths in reverse) until he lands on B, a tritone away from F, at which point he decides to hop on up a semitone to bring it back to the fifth (C) and restart the progression Again at F (with some cool beatboxing!). The best part is that the whole time he's moving down the circle of fourths on his left hand, his right hand is only moving a semitone down at a time (except when he scoots the octave on F major down an _extra_ semitone the first time): F-A,F (maj3,octave), Bb-Ab,Eb (7,11), Eb-G,D (maj7), Ab-Gb,Db (7,11), and so on and so forth. I don't actually know the full voicing of what he's doing there but that is the one part of the song I can't stop replaying over and over again. Pretty sure it looks something like F3-Bb11-EbM7-Ab11-DbM7-Gb11-BM7-C7 but then again I'm just mashing keys on a piano. (*_where's June Lee when you need him_*)
Similar experience to Prince when he came storming the scene, Play all instruments. But here Collier gives hope and joy to a humanity in labour, doubtful if they can come out from under the weight of the trans-humanist tNew World Order that will rule this planet for a number of years. After that Jacob will be remembered. Thank goodness for his being alive and interacting perhaps with the folk scene revival.
Shame that people nowadays have this urge to clap, like their clapping will enhance the performance. If you go to listen to music, perhaps they should do just that. This is brilliant. The stupid clapping, coming from a smart school is beyond annoying to this listener.
the clapping is alright and appreciated by many musicians if done rightly!!! most of the time it is totally out of time and rushing and on 1 and 3 so it is annoying but if an audience claps on 2 and 4, a tempo, why not? Jacob clapped with them :)
For some reason, I am not seeing the replies, but to respond to first, calling someone "Stupid" who does not like to hear people clap when he attends a show to hear music is a bit extreme and not accurate. I shall say no more. To reply to Simon, I do not enjoy hearing it even when they clap to the beat. Especially with someone like Jacob who plays so much with melodies, who is very cerebral in his approach, you could miss quite a bit when people clap too loud. Also, and this is all very subjective. I pay to hear a person play or sing. I do not like sing a longs or clap a longs or anything but the music the artist I came to hear, chooses to perform. I even cringe when people start to applaud before the artist is done with the song. Perhaps because I grew up listening to jazz where every note matters, where the very last note, may be something unique or brilliant, that I am like that. I can hear clapping anytime anywhere. That is not the case when I go to a show to listen to Jacob or The Zombies or Keith Jarrett or whomever I paid to see
Then...maybe you should just stay home and not go to concerts any longer. Why punish yourself with the thought of strangers clapping (either with or against the beat, or in applause) in a live concert settings?!!
r french actually music is about all ive got. Most shows i go to, people do not clap. Its mostly old classic rock but, the people do listen to the music and can enjoy doing so without clapping.
Ok. so...classic rock. ...I'm confused....you go to classic rock concerts....and people don't clap??!! HUH? ..Never heard of people not clapping and hootin' and hollering at a rock concert, whether it's classic, hard, or speed metal.

That modulation blew that dude with the mustaches mind lol.
watch as the person blessed by Jacob Collier becomes holy in music as well
THE KEY CHANGE.
wow, at 7:30 the way he manipulates the beat but keeps it on track with the audience with the last "singing"... amazing.
3:15 holy moly
Fucking hell, can tell at least a 56th of my whole life is going to be spent watching ghis
These modulations and key changes... Thank you for this video.
