that sounds like something I would say. all of my ideas sound a lot better in my head. but I don't know music theory like I'm told this guy does
Why does his music evoke such rage in so many people? I mean it’s odd that someone so musical makes music that’s kind of… twee, but it’s not that morally vile.
Is it a Kenny G situation where he has the type of knowledge that would be typical for many classically and jazz trained musicians, but has been able to market it successfully to a layman audience?
He's just a bit annoying. He comes across like someone pretending to have autism but without actually having it because being invested in something is charming so long as you're not a socially moronic freak like real autists.
>Why does his music evoke such rage in so many people?
Pompous attitude really. Dudes really thinks he is good when all of his music is just ass. It's all very analytical. Like if you told a computer to make a song it would do things mathematically instead of just "feeling" what is right.
also his fans are fricking annoying thinking he's the next music Jesus or something. Typical college of Berklee music type. The type of morons that take music theory courses.
It's because Jacob Collier is the Ben Affleck of music.
He's mediocre pianist masquerading as this modern musical savant who's come to save us with his gratuitous chord voicings and wild modulations.
Here's a clip of Jacob Collier explaining basic music theory as if he were unlocking the Da Vinci Code.
>if you add enough fifths you eventually hit the major third >if you add enough fourths you hit tye minor third >MY OC DONUT STEEL THEORY IS FIFHTS ARE MAJOR AND FOURTHS ARE MINOR
he's Zack Snyder
le microtonal madman
he wears pajamas and gets away with it because of his skills. sort of like stallman eating toenails during talks before the pedo stuff.
that's freaking boring. I guess he's that type of musician who's got so much 'talent' and 'knowledge' of super rare modes and chords but fail to translate those into general consciousness.
>creative infinity syndrom
easy to make music when you can just string extended chords together, stack voicings to high heaven and throw all the contents of his kitchen into a suitcase and shake it around and call it syncopated rythms.
Yet to make a memorable song or anything that can evoke emotions other than "hmm, pretty sounds".
sole example that having talent and knowing theory doesn't make for good art
this guy is a virtuoso and has been playing music his entire life and still cannot create a good tune
he solely gets fellated by annoying jazz kids and people who watch rick beato
how does someone clearly have such a gift yet cannot make anything of it? is it really a gift then? he's no eno.
He's like Mozart if Mozart couldn't compose for shit and had no ear for melody. Perfect pitch, music theory, and all that microtonal crap can only take you so far.
To answer OP's question: I'm going with M. Night. Like the raw talent is there, it just never coalesces into something great.
His music is bland ass because the whole point is mixing things that shouldn't work well together and make them sound alright despite of it, but he can only do so much. I guess it's impressive if you're into theory, but for a regular guy like me who likes catchy music I don't give a frick about this guy. His stuff may be really well thought, but it doesn't sound any better than elevator music.
I saw him at a jazz and blues festival in Brighton some years ago and he was pretty entertaining. Sweet crowd control and really made the stage his.
The weirdest part was this dude who looked exactly like Kanye West was on the side mixing or whatever and looked at me and he gave me the weirdest face like 6 expressions in the span of 2 seconds. Creeped me out.
>horizontal composition rather than vertical composition >this note hasn't found its consequence yet
I think the worst part about Jacob Collier is that he's got genuinely talented musicians fooled into thinking he's a genius
He may know a lot of shit and have spent a lot of years meticulously studying music like a physicist studies particles, but at the end of the day he's no Billy Joel
>so many ideas
So autism?
I dunno man there's a lotta homosexuals in film it's hard to choose one.

>all of my ideas sound a lot better in my head
Everyone's ideas sound like this, if they sounded bad no one would try and make them real to begin with
Like a film theory guy?
looks more like down syndrome
Guy Maddin or maybe the guy who made dark city
frick you

He does come off that way, but he may be autistic for real. He's obsessed with music theory beyond what's normal even for trained musicians.

same with matt damon
I was actually torn between calling him the Ben Affleck or the Matt Damon of music.

what a pretentious hack
Literally who

sounds like youre just under a rock
who?
Is he Belgian?
nope never heard of you friends buy an ad if you want to advertise
le microtonal madman

Some musical theory autist. Supposedly he's a genius, but I find his music pretty underwhelming, to be honest.
Literally never heard any of his songs.
Xavier Dolan
millions of ideas and not a single one of them are any good
Funny how having so much "talent" for music and he cannot make a single good memorable song
here is his most popular btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qUCyW7ewPs

>technically perfect but soulless
He's half Chinese, which explains a lot.
>I have infinite ideas
Then why does he keep doing the same neo soul schtick?
How do you tell if you hate innovative music because you're behind the times or because it actually just sounds like garbage.
I have simply adopted the position that I am never in the wrong, it acts as a handy rule of thumb in navigating these scenarios

literally who
frick off Cinemaphile
He is the living proof that you need heart and balls to write good songs, brain alone is not enough.

Melody Gardot was cool.
David Fincher
that explains a lot about why he makes actual moronic sounds
Hideo Kojima
another dumb take from this homosexual
just say it's tension and relief you hack, fricking Jacob

yeah, for all he knows you'd think he'd make more interesting music but he's stuck in "making shit that'll go viral on tiktok" mode
