Jacob Collier Plays the Same Song In 18 Increasingly Complex Emotions

Jacob Collier Plays the Same Song In 18 Increasingly Complex Emotions | WIRED

3 жыл бұрын

Jacob Collier plays and transforms a familiar tune through a variety of different emotions. Jacob takes "Londonderry Air" (more popularly known as "Danny Boy") and pulls the song through many twists and turns as he transmutes the piece on the fly. How does the song sound "angry," or "sad"? How about with more complex emotions, like "disruptive" or "betrayed"?

@@skaterhugs1147This is a huge misconception and to this day i'm trying to find who spread it first. It's not true at all!! The popular music of those times was folk music. Mozart never played nor composed folk music for the common folk. All the composers of that time (at least up until the late romanticism) were writing educated, more complicated music for the nobles or the rich in general, the only ones that could read it and understand it. So the complete opposite of the "folk". Pop music of today is just a continuation of folk music. Jacob Collier today is much closer to pop music (if not completely embedded in it) than Mozart ever was

@the_indecisiveartist_5850 Жыл бұрын

As a normal person, I quite agree. Usually I find myself feeling emotions that have no name in my vocabulary, so I got drawn to art and music, sorta as a substitute to the usage of language since I feel things easier than I can explain, this sentiment could most likely be shared by others. It is a shame that some view artistic expression as sorta useless, in contrast to the spoken word. While both are important, some find it harder to articulate verbally. My head feels like popping when I try to explain things verbally, I feel as if my expressions and art are more accurate.

We are so lucky that Jacob is so articulate - both musically but also verbally. His analysis of his own thought process was so enlightening. Whether you're a trained musician with a knowledge of music theory, or just a casual listener, everyone will understand and connect with the feelings of these emotions. This is a great exercise and one that really shows the value in having a deep knowledge of music theory to draw upon. To have so many musical colours in one's palette to paint with. Jacob showed so many colours and tools here: consonance, dissonance, dynamics, modes, rhythm and more. Brilliant stuff!

I love the way Jacob portrayed 'Betrayed'. It sounded like a silent struggle to understand that you've been used, or you've been lied to. And it's a slow, painful realization, which you can hear as he plays it. A slow, depressing melody that represents a hurtful awareness that you've been betrayed by a close friend or a family member.

Man! You inspired me to create a video like this. As a music therapist, this is what I do all the time with my clients! I create music to match, regulate and transform my clients' emotions and cognitions. In addition, clients join the co-creation. Usually it's so hard to show this process to the world since it's clinical. But this video inspired me. Stay tuned for a bilingual one: English with Chinese subtitle!

the "guilt" and "forgiveness" combo really struck me here. the low stocky chords made that higher F# feel like the thing you're guilty about, constantly popping up to remind you of itself, and then when forgiveness comes in, that F# is still there sometimes, but gets washed away with the brighter feelings, or notes, of forgiveness over time and... yeah. that part felt really cool to listen to.
