jacob collier IMPROVISES entire orchestra!! Genius!
imagine spending your entire life rigorously studying music only for the only paying gigs to be a puppet for some retarded influencer child"""genius""" commanding you to arpeggiate an F major triad for 30 minutes while he makes gay ass remarks>WOW. This is BEAUTIFUL. okay french HORNs now play *duhhhhhh* YES!~ just like that WOW what a warm SOUND
>>129462849Don't get so paranoid, it was a one-off thing. Most of the time they play some classical concerts, people are still going to those.But still, you're acting like the thing in the OP was the worst thing ever, even though those people's career is just playing a song from notes that some guy wrote hundreds of years ago.It's as if in a hundred years from now you'd make your own career out of playing metallica riffs from tabs
>>129462924please go back to the kendrick thread or wherever you came from.
>>129462826he should be a children's tv presentermusic is not for him
>>129463164I thought public masturbators weren't allowed to be children's TV presenters.
>>129462924got em
>>129462849It's that or playing John Williams soundtracks.
You guys are all SO COOL and so VERY SMART and probably have tons of reddit karma and epic quips left under fantano videos. You all could definitely conduct and orchestra and have a successful music career.
>>129462826but when your oingoboingo loser does it, hes considered a music genius
Collier is overhated here.
>>129463566>thinks reddit isn't jacob collier fanbase, but 4chan is
>>129463566This is the kind of segment sesame street would have on in between the ABCs and 123s, then the camera pans to a bunch of middle aged people clapping like tards
He needs to stop improvising his outfits
>>129463604I almost, but don't quite, have more respect for Machine Gun Kelly.
None of you would ever be able to do thishttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/fN-_j1yOXCE
Meanwhile in the Collier household...>*strange sounds emanating from Jacob's room*>Mom *knocks on door*>"Jacob, sweetie..?>"...yeaah and to the tree of love I go, oooh where the flowers grooow, aaand where the rivers flow ooOOOOoooooOOoO...">Mom *rolls eyes*>another classic Collier dud>*bangs on door*>Jacob!" she shouts>music stops, audible cursing>"What the fuck do you want, Susan!?" he yells>"Can I come in? We need to have a talk...">more cursing>"Jesus, fine! But only if you enter tap-dancing to an 18/8 beat whilst clapping at 11/4 hehehe...">Mom *closes eyes, remembering her theory*>tentatively opens door>enters dancing like a circus chimpanzee>"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," laughs Jacob>Mom *visibly uncomfortable, almost crying*>"THAT'S 11/8 YOU FUCKING IMBECILE AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA">Mom *broken and ashamed, hangs her head in her hands*>"DID I TELL YOU TO FUCKING STOP!!?!?" he screams, his cold lifeless eyes staring at her>"Jacob please..." she begs>chuckles>"Whatever, bitch. What the fuck do you want, anyway!? Can't you see I'm busy!?" *gestures to ukulele and MacBook*>he is fully nude>Mom *sits down on edge of bed*>"Look, Jacob—I've fallen behind on the rent, it's just that, ever since you dad left, well—we're in a bit of a financial tight spot at the moment, a-and I was wonderi-">Jacob *silences her by vocally harmonising to a pitch-perfect sequence of glissando farts*>"You stupid whore, Dad never left, he's right there!" *points to life-size Fred Flintstone poster on the wall*>"Listen, Jacob, I've had a really great idea that could solve everything: why don't you try writing in 4/4? If we can just put limits on your theoretical brilliancy, I think we'd be on to a winner! Write a pop mega hit, watch it climb the charts, Billboard Hot 100, UK Top 40, a colossal catchy single, the 'song of the summer', I can arrange for a lovely girl to come down from the conservatoire and-">"REEEEE NEGATIVE HARMONY!!!!"
>Song released 5 days ago>Already quarter of a million views>Simplistic song with no hemidemisemiquaver negative harmony bullshitCollier haters, did we get too cocky?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RNDueKyrKY
>>129465223Collier haters never said he couldn't get views or couldn't write simplistic shit
>>129462826Classical music isn't improvised, he's thinking of jazz. Classic rookie mistake.
Jacob Collier is not a musician as much as he is a music communicator. His role is to get people to be passionate about music. Not to make good songs himself.
>>129465908Haven't heard of impromptu?
>>129462849Why do you guys think orchestra players are some enlightened noble aesthetes or something?They're giggling and beaming at him like he's a godYou know these guys probably don't know jack shit about good music. You know they probably play 90% "Star Wars live" and "Legend of Zelda live" gigs. You know 90% of orchestra at the university level are normies who never listen to classical music for pleasure.
>>129462826theater kid faggot shit
>>129465908t. can't play a cadenza

>>129465192BRAVO!well done, i lold and woke up my gf
>>129465956>His role is to not to make good songshe's succeeding wildly
>>129467664YouTube comment:>It would be wonderful to see Jacob Collier at the 2027 Super Bowl.fucking hell; i cried.
>>129469491>fucking hell; i cried.I just clapped
>>129465223This isn't nearly as bad as the other songs I've heard from him to now, but I still wouldn't call it good.https://genius.com/Jacob-collier-something-heavy-lyricsThere's a concept in lyric writing called "furniture". It's the stuff that, while not strictly speaking being necessary for the emotional heart of the song, is used to provide structure and specifics and interesting language for the listeners to hook themselves onto:>Take a good look at my face>You'll see my smile looks out of place>If you get closer, it's easy to trace>The tracks of my tearsIt's not essential that you look at Smokey's face, see his smile looks out of place, or that you trace the tracks of his tears. What matters is that he's sad inside and pretending to be happy. But the specific image of his smiling face being tracked with tears *sticks* with you. Not only is the image itself striking, but the words themselves are alliterative: "trace the tracks of my tears". Three 'T's.Meanwhile, "Something Heavy" is so *lacking* in furniture that not only is it not titled after anything from the chorus, but of a random line from the first verse that itself is so insubstantial that the only reason it's used is because the most furnituresque line in the work is "big balloon", which apparently even Jacob thinks is too tasteless for a song about grieving over a dead parent. At least I think that's what it's about, since the lyrics as a whole are so vague that you don't even know if it's meant to mourn a dead mother *or* a dead father. Maybe it's a grandparent. How the fuck are we the listeners supposed to know? Especially seeing as how this is a fictional story, since both his parents are still alive. And I doubt this was about his grandfather, since he died eighteen years ago at the age of eighty-one:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_CollierSure that's real fuckin' fresh in your mind, Jacob!
Thing is we can't even blame it on him being a fundie because the black midi guys are fundies and make decent musichttps://youtu.be/21zVFKf7vSk?si=2QXffHQazM6v2fujhttps://youtu.be/b8lgOVbxj7E?si=buZ3JS-HPo4HWvttCollier is just bad
