just like get out of some of this stuff so i'm gonna put this back on because it's real comfy and i'm gonna i'm gonna open up the q and a thingy to know how to do that but let me put my oh through the sleeve how are you all doing hey um it's really nice to it's really nice to see uh yeah it's joe i'm not very good at selling stuff i never really sell stuff i just sort of just sort of do stuff i try not to sell things too much so oh wow i see that the questions thing is already filled up um this is the first question so i feel like it's it's apt to uh to answer it and as i'm realizing i'm realizing what this is going to be difficult to write and to write and uh answer at the same time but let's get started i'll i'll sign the thingy and then i'll i don't know how this is going to work we'll figure out as we go along just as we always do okay so okay i'm just i'm gonna do the door oh see another questions but okay okay let's let's answer the question first and then let's uh move on and do okay what is my favorite sound well i do like this sound it's like one of my all-time favorites and you have that sound too in your mouth you do that you do that if you want to um i was like the sound of the ubase which i just freshly tuned because it's really warm and um kind of it's like well-rounded it's a grounded rounded sound it's not too uh not too shouty not so many bad harmonics strings are super bendy but that doesn't affect the sound which doesn't fit the sound but it wasn't the question how bendy are the strings on my ebay but i'm still answering it anyway and yeah so the ebay series is one of my favorite sounds but really you can make a sound of anything in the whole wide world this room that i'm in right now it's the room in which i'm quarantined is filled with things that make really interesting sounds trying to find something cool and then i'll sit down and do some signing but yeah like this take this for example this is a little metallic object that i once stole from a somewhere so i shouldn't tell you where because i get in trouble but don't worry it wasn't like a bad it wasn't a bad stealing session it was fine but it's really interesting and it makes this resonant sound but you have to kind of throw it ah oh if you throw it in the air it goes like tastes like a symbol so this is a sound i enjoy a lot i could i consistently find new and interesting sounds to to love and you can too uh but i basically have made it a bit of a bit of a mission to fill a room with things that make sound that i like like this is the gong agong it's nice um we can literally go on and on and on just making sounds maybe that's what you want me to do i don't know i know that's why jethro is quite quiet actually it doesn't make much sound but he guards the glockenspiel which does make sound but not today it doesn't make any sound today um symbols and drums i think really one of my favorite sounds actually is your voice it's one of my absolute favorites because it makes such a nice sound when you use it man i miss touring a lot and when i go on tour i often get the audience to sing stuff and we improvise chords and rhythms and stuff like that together so that's always that's always fun to do um yeah okay i think i think i've answered the question but thank you very much i think it's maria for us asking that question um okay well here let's let let's do another question shall we hmm wow so i've got five people here asking what my favorite chord is there's a few a lot of questions actually about chords it's funny i've never been asked a question about chords before uh but i guess there's a first time for everything i'm going to go against my plan i'm going to take this out the tripod so what's my favorite chord today i hear you asked well today it's probably um oh you know what you know what you know what i keep coming back to it's just this i keep coming back to this chord it's really really lovely looks like this looks like that you can do underneath or you can do on the top nice [Music] it's quite dramatic it's quite nice though um that's not the call i like oh earlier when i was playing this chord so i think it's really gorgeous it's nice [Applause] [Music] and then if you move the c [Applause] [Music] it gets tenderer [Music] it's nice then we can repeat the whole [Music] activity see some some cause you think oh i don't know i don't like that one but then it resolves and it feels all feels good [Music] there you go there's just a few of my favorite chords because hopefully you have to answer all the people who asked about what my favorite chord might be um where did i put mine here so i'm going to get started and do some i have i have a purpose i have a purpose today and the purpose is to get this poster signed for you um i'm i'm gonna do that right now um and let me see if i can find a question that would take a long time to answer because then we can all hang out and yes yes we can we can hang out an answer over a long period of time oh let's see wow well this one is going to be a bit of a lengthy answer so let's let's get let's get stuck in right the question is i've always wondered this is actually not really a question it's more of a statement but i can convert this quite easily into a question and i'm like jacob collier smiley face because i always do attention to a smiley face can you guys see that hope you can the question is well the statement is i've always wondered what london smells like and to be honest i'm sure there are people that um that could answer this question with with more kind of uh legitimacy than i uh i don't often leave my home especially in this year i don't often leave my house in london when i'm home because often if i'm traveling then uh then it's really exhausting and really fun and i come home and i want to just because i'm such an introvert so i i tend to be at home a lot of the time so in terms of smells i give you some of my absolute favorite smells of london most of them are within this house so here's one my mom's apple pie it's a good one i highly recommend you smell it though you don't have a choice most of you will never smell that smell it's quite sad news but the truth of the matter is that that is a that is a smell that a few have smelt but those who smelt it will never forget it singles for her bolognese she's just in the other room we just had supper as a family and now we're signing posters and asking questions on instagram live well i am um freshly mowned grass do you guys avid lawn mowers you get into low mowing lawns because i am and if i say so myself um when you when i've mowed the lawn when anyone really is mowing the lawn and you smell what's going on it's really gorgeous smell beautiful um i like the smells in london uh that like urine in a deserted street it's very gorgeous nice smell and if you go if you walk around london you will find you will find that some alleyways have this smell very very distinctive um there is a park in london called kenwood it's actually part of hampstead heath as many of you guys may know ham city and um and in hampstead there are these these old baths that have been there for hundreds and hundreds of years like the people used to bathe in them um yeah about i suppose 200 years ago and those baths have a very particular smell which accompanied a lot of my childhood now you mention it so that is that's a good smell in london that you may enjoy the river thames smells good as well the river thames smells like um yeah deep enough um populous smells like people have had opinions of it you know more opinions something the more opinions people have of things the more they smell and here's another interesting piece of news that you may or may not have realized if you make eye contact with somebody then you can smell them better and they can smell you better that is not true but i feel like it is also maybe true so it's up to you to decide let me know in the comments if you've experienced this kind of sensation yourself just let me know that would be great um so yeah overall to conclude this answer london is a is a smelly place to be but it's really good and i'm i'm very appreciative of all of the green space that we have left in london like actually quite local to my house they're trying to set up this thing now where they're knocking down some well they're actually not knocking down anything they're removing some green space in the building uploading these buildings from their imaginations to pieces of paper and from the pieces of paper to the lawn which means less smell of freshly cut grass which i'm not happy about at all and more smell of like traffic is that not one of my favorite smells actually traffic in london there's lots of it and there's probably about to be more after things pipe down you know um so yeah i hope that i hope that gives you a little insight into the smells of my life like another smell i really like is the smell of freshly freshly um changed bedding you know when you change your bedding and it's like it's all crispy it's like a cold crisp and you've got you put your nose in it and it's just it just it's phenomenal just totally phenomenal smell but that's not that's not a smell that's specific to london that is just a smell that's worldwide it's an international smell that is a few posters thank you for the question ray mondoritz underscore that was really cool um major major smells minor smells yeah i see where you guys are going with this okay let's answer some more questions and small posters oh ooh well here's one that may interest some of you i get asked this question quite a lot um when i was growing up here so okay i should preface this by saying this room is the room so i've never used this pen but it's running out of ink already this uh this um room was the room that i grew up in as a boy and so i grew up listening to music in here making music in here recording music in here and way back when in the old days i had so cool i had so right now this is my little this is where i've made like the last four albums for my entire life just sitting in this chair and this is my screen and my red my beautiful red key monitors which i just adore very much um and when i was well before i was about seven well actually before i was about 12. the computer was like there against this wall looking like facing same direction as the stained glass window and and then quite recently about two years ago actually yeah the setup kind of grew over the years and like my mom used to teach in here as a violinist well she's still a violinist but she teaches now in the room next door when quarantine's not going on and uh yeah i took over this room as an 11 year old when i back when i got logic and yeah this this computer here it was there for a long time and i moved it over here so i could have more space to use as a desk and i actually well my friend ben bloomberg helped design this this desk uh it was it was built out of all of the wood that was originally was what built all of these shelves there used to be some old ikea shelves you guys into ikea because i am and ikea is really great for cheap furniture and these pieces of ikea shelves so we tore those down but to keep the same like essence of the room and the memory and the smells and the room we used all the wood to recycle it and make this make this desk which i really love and it's filled with concrete so it never ever moves it's a nice nice feeling it's really reliable and solid and so um where was i going with that right who's my favorite musical artist well yeah i basically grew up in a in a household filled to the donald's with musical artists not like that my family are all musical artists in their own right but playing in this house in this room specifically was just a giant cavern of different flavors of music and so stevie right stevie wonder if you haven't heard of him man you're in for a treat i kind of envy i envy you if you've never heard of steve wonder because the journey that your ears when i'll go on it's just kind of extraordinary but steven was one huge one for me um actually i first got into his album hotter than july then you guys know from 1980 and then uh after that album i got into like songs in the game of life and all that stuff and it was just amazing i only realized really towards the latter half of my teenage years i'm now 12. that stevie wonder actually plays all the instruments on the album well a lot of the a lot of the uh instruments on the album himself which is just mind-blowing to me and inspiring so i i seek to do a similar thing prince was another one i loved growing up with he wasn't with me but i love him i love his records i love his fearlessness i love his independence most well of his funk he's incredible yeah unbelievable force of nature um earthbound fire legendary jonah mitchell legendary uh we also grew up with horton mcfarlane it's huge for me as if you guys have seen on youtube uh every phone funny probably have but uh basically um there's a concert he did he used to do his concerts as a young man when he was probably about my age so i think he's about 28 so slightly older than me i'm 25. i'm not 12 yet and bob mcferrin uh did this basically a bunch of concerts called spontaneous oh he did this one concert on youtube called the spot called spontaneous inventions and basically him and a microphone and a crowd and his imagination and his voice and he was really the first person i ever saw to play the crowd like an instrument and he would give them a little thing to do and he'd use gestures to get them to change dynamics and all this amazing stuff it was just one of the most profoundly incredible experiences of my entire life was watching this video of him i think he sings blackbird where i know he sings blackbird actually he sings blackbird by the beatles you may know it but he does it in this amazing way with some acrobatic singing where he goes like but he's really good at it and so he does all these amazing intervals using his voice and he basically outlines all the harmony he's able to concentrate on multiple levels of of harmony you know all these different parts and he'll kill them attend to each of them sort of one by one but the ear of the audience can perceive the harmony sometimes they'll do this in a complement of the audience's melody and there's a video online of him singing ave maria over over the famous c major freddy by bach which goes um he sings it he sings that like beautifully in tune and unbelievable and the audience comes and sings the the countermeasure over the top which is just so gorgeous and i really would highly recommend you check it out if you don't know about it oh it's mighty it's mighty mighty and yeah like 10 years after i saw that video i for some reason went on tour and i started to goof around with audiences in a similar fashion and so far as i've seen earlier on if you were here at the beginning of my live stream it's such a cool experience to work with a group of singers especially if nothing is planned because what you realize is just how musical people are and how every every single person has a voice and that's so powerful and on many many in many ways on many levels and using your voice is cool and if you've ever sung in a group of people you'll know this feeling if you haven't then um you're in for retreat if you ever do because there's something profoundly special that happens when you combine your voice with other people's voices like a whole community of people's voices and it's the thing that i dream most about when i'm idle and thinking about touring and obviously not able to go on tourists it's just like yeah 2000 people singing together upwards of 2000 people and that is a really amazing thing which i miss greatly um a couple of the musicians i grew up with um bartok massive rock star of the 20th century um bartok wrote an incredible piece of music he's a i suppose yeah 21st century a 20th century classical composer check out the romanian folk dances by bartok oh that's absolutely heavy um beautiful people like charles ives and benjamin britton people like flying lotus thundercat super awesome dirty projectors were super important for me my teams uh dave yeah david longstreth who's the leading dirty projectors his voice um is unlike anything you've ever heard in your entire life it's so unbelievably honest and so unbelievably fearless and he really showed me that it was possible to um to sing in this way that was far less about accuracy and much more about feeling much more about sensation it kind of completely changed my life so if you don't know daily projectors you're in for another treat they're amazing um david byrne you guys know about david byrne talking heads um if you don't know david byrne you have to check them out obviously check out all those amazing music videos but there's an interview that some of you may have seen if you've gone deep on david byrne um he talks about uh well he's in this massive suit you know this video i'm talking about he's wearing this huge suit that his shoulders got to here on my website and basically the suit is so big that makes his head look really small and he dresses up in different outfits um and sort of makeup thing and and interviews himself and one of the questions he asked himself is like um your voice he says your voice isn't very good um but you're a singer like how why like why'd you do that and and he's he says this amazing thing it's on youtube you type in like big suit david byrne and he says something like the better someone's voices um the harder it is to tell what they're saying what to to tell what they're saying um which is so nice and so he says that i use my voice to my advantage uh because it's because it's not very good and so people believe that it's me talking which i love it's brilliant really really profoundly wonderful so so there you go that is a little splurge of artists that inspire me as a boy i'm still a boy i'm actually a man but yeah how are you all doing it's nice it's really nice that you're still here i i've got through a couple posters there's actually quite a lot here so yeah so it's nice nice great yes very good um yes wow somebody's asking uh here can you name your five favorite female artists and musicians which is a very difficult thing to do because there are so many good ones um but here's a few that i love really dearly one is um do you know becca stevens becky siemens is really really cool becca stevens is an extraordinary musician she's a bit like a contemporary journey mitchell i suppose she has this incredible style very very lucid free thinking style she's also a really dear friend of mine so she's amazing um i mentioned joining mitchell earlier on i just mentioned her just now as well jenny mitchell is profoundly special and i would highly recommend that you check out julie mitchell um uh other female artists that i absolutely adore do you know st vincent hello i can't hear you yeah st vincent is extraordinary and awesome i mean she's like so funky and she's such an incredible producer and if there's one thing i've felt in the last few years especially my collaborations with female musicians um it's that so many so many women in the in the music industry have such strong instincts about how music should feel but not enough women are given the tools to be producers at a young age um and i think nowadays there are all sorts of tools out there for making music but it's almost like the sort of mentality that men are the producers in the industry that women turn up and sing is horrendous in my mind i just don't understand it um and in terms of you know emotional intelligence with music which is something i think a lot about me trying to operate in those terms as much as i can all of the women with whom i've collaborated from someone like leanne lahaves whose album just dropped today you should go check it out it's beautiful um to someone like dodie or um these people's instincts are just are extraordinary kimbra i mean yeah kimbra was actually my spotify artist of the decade according to my uh algorithm thingy and that and so yeah she's incredible her instincts are just are unreal unbelievable instincts that she has and i've learned so much from her as as a producer i mean not yet not just as like a friend a collab but as a producer and so if you're a woman or a girl or a young woman or an old girl then please produce music because i think the world needs it in the same way that the world needs female directors um within the film industry it's it's a lens thing it's like learning how to see the world through a woman's eyes it's profoundly important and i was brought up solely by women i'm one of three children uh under a single mother so women was was the whole of my whole of my home landscape um so i i always i've always had an incredible sort of affinity with that way of thinking and that that style i suppose of creating and expressing things um but please please get like please get get lucky and get involved and making stuff and like logic get logic if you want to all get other stuff like ableton but i would really recommend logic because i use it myself um but yeah there are so many i feel like i've covered i've maybe covered that question now but yeah we need you use your use your voices please um you ready we're going to do another question 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 2 1. underscore underscore liz dot unscott underscore l.i.z or zed as we said uk dot underscore is asking why the british is so great at music is it in your tea or something well here's the thing i don't think all brits are good at music um but i do think that there's something in the bridge of psychology which is very forgiving of people who take risks also people who are a bit weird and i think that if you've ever been to britain don't come now if you're not in britain because you probably won't be able to but if you're ever in britain and you crack a joke uh so the way people laugh is different and the crowd's life is different and i really feed off being weird a lot of the time and in britain it is socially cool to be for example like really awkward i really love that i love being awkward so musicians a lot a lot of my favorite musicians are people who are very comfortable with being uncomfortable and uh i was watching an interview with saint vincent the other day and she and she said uh the interviewer said hey what is it that inspires you to make music and she said well i'm inspired by the feeling of being uncomfortable which is interesting because for me i'm i'm often i'm often inspired by my comfort actually like i i seek to create these bombs these incandescent worlds that i can get get immersed and i can i can hide in you know i design it from the inside out um that said jesse bottom three is real weird but i i find um i find that the concept of listening to the parts of yourself that are the strangest can be the most compelling and i don't know if you've ever yeah hung out with a really funny sarcastic awkward british person like me but if you have then then you'll know there's something really great about someone willing to be awkward when i was about 19 years old i did some gigs with an amazing piano player his name was jason robelo and jason robelo is really is astoundingly good he played with people like sting um still does i think and uh but he's also just an amazing penis in his own right and so i was in his band uh for a while and we did we did some gigs together and he said well he said lots of things but there's one time on stage at ronnie scott's in london when we were playing and he was loading up a synth sound on his keyboard system a little rig keyboard keyboard rig and uh let's make that j a bit nicer on this one yeah cool um yeah there was like a moment in the set where he said uh oh i'm just going to load up um well okay so the thing is you have to change the sound between songs right because he was changing his preset and so he uh he went over his computer and he and he clicked a few things he said i'm just uh just checking my email like that and his face was just like completely serious and he didn't like smile or laugh and whatever and the room was kind of like and then like once that died down it was just like nothing as i remember i was just so wonderful i just love that stuff i absolutely love it i love feeling like really weird and uncomfortable but not in a way that's like you you know in a way that's just like beautiful and hesitant you know and or just like decidedly uh you might not like this you know so that feeling i really like and i think that is i i really really miss it when i don't when i'm not in the uk it's funny funny you should ask when i'm when i'm traveling which i i do love to do very much people don't get my jokes people people don't get my humor and i'll say something and people will be like haha cool man you know especially in the us it's like yeah man cool man yeah great and and for me i love it when yeah you just leave something hanging and it's awkward so i think maybe the human [Music] i think maybe the humor in britain has informed the music and if you look if you look at the past someone like hendrix for example jimi hendrix still never furthermore if you haven't heard of him um then i don't know what that i don't know what you've been doing but jimi hendrix came here in the 1960s and we we got it like we got we got what the vibe was we we got what was going on it was like oh okay this is this is someone with a really brazen voice someone who's determined to be outrageous and courageous and uh the us for example took took longer to to get it and i think it's because there was this friction in the uk that wasn't based in things being right or perfect or a dream like the u.s it was about stuff being mucky and real and culture like its culture maybe too so anyway if you're just joining the livestream hello and i'm not saying that the britishers are all good at making music if you're looking at the question wondering that but i do think that the brits have got some things right about how to let things be themselves without putting sheens on them you know like changing them or filtering them or stuff like this you know like america i do genuinely love the united states of america in many ways mostly because of the people inside it but the sort of mentality of the dream i don't think it i don't think it breeds the kind of creativity that excites me personally um and then there's so many other countries in the world where music is good too it's not just it's not just britain it's not just the uk so don't you go blind stick around we're gonna be signing some more posters i'm gonna answer another question right now um hey everyone it's nice to see everyone's comments um it truly is uh hi hello hello indeed okay i'm going to uh i'm going to answer another question i'm just looking for some for some questions toby dr kimmelman what is up toby toby's asking what's the background noise well three ways i could ask this question one would be to describe the noise that is in my house surrounding me right now that you may or may not be hearing as a peripheral kind of wash of mono phone signal throughout your from your device um my sister's practicing the double bass next door in the bow like a classical bass outdoors there's a no bird singing basically no bird singing at all but there's some fresh air but you could probably hear that you can hear the sound of sound of some um not so distant traffic if you really listen closely you can also probably hear the sound of my squeaky pen diligently signing these glow-in-the-dark jesse volume three posters which you can buy if you'd like to on online at jamecary.com forward slash store uh that's optional you'd have to do that you don't want to but i'm squeaking away here for you so go ahead and just help a brother out you know look at this oh gorgeous oh okay uh so so they go i mean in terms of figuratively what's the background what is the background noise of the world um think it's it's it's many things it's a collective consciousness um probably the sound of your ancestors footwork um in your skeleton it's the sound of time going past i was thinking the other day how time is exactly the right length it's actually the right length nothing you can do about it it's just it's just it's just the right length sometimes people think you know what time something should go faster or something but it's actually the right length it's perfect time is really perfectly designed well it's not designed i don't know if it's designed maybe it's designed time is just it's one of those profound things so you might be hearing that as your background noise it just depends on how you how you use your ears you can basically hear hear everything in anything fine vice versa um so i don't know what's your um what's your name what's your background noise if you're watching and you want to know something about you let me know in the comments next question thank you toby that was a it's good it's really good um so here's a question here niku pizza he's asking uh she or he i don't know what gender this person is is asking about microtonal study um i'm probably not the right person to ask for some reasons one is that i've never really studied microtones uh formally so i don't really know oh let me just make sure you can see the poster um yeah i i don't know like i haven't really read any books on it um what i have done is i've asked people that i trust about microtones so basically on the piano right there's a few notes on the piano 12 in each octave and you can divide those 12 that space of you know c c3 to c4 into literally however many spaces you want it's completely and utterly up to you like you can do whatever you want to do every single rule musically is arbitrary every single and so one arbitrary rule music is there are 12 notes and sometimes people say yeah yeah it's all well and good man yeah that's cool but you know that's just it's all the same 12 notes and it's like actually no no it's not true no because there's more than 12 notes infinite infinite notes actually that you can sing or play um so i've recently got into a habit of dividing intervals into uh increasing numbers of spaces and and basically define the piano because the piano is not in tune i'm sure many of you guys know this if you're a collier fan i always talk about this but basically the piano is a hoax and semitones were constructed to save um the people who constructed keyboard instruments in the 1500s money because an instrument that plays properly in tune uh is really expensive to build and so what it made more sense to do was to have like all keys are equal ornates are equal um where you can modulate freely between all 12 keys and all the semitones are the same size but like a lot of the music here on the radio today is actually quantized by which i mean that all the divisions of the beat are the same size space a lot of my favorite music is um unquantized like soundbar or uh in three divisions it's not it's wonky so the same is true for pitch so i got into the microphone because i wanted to you know bend it and i find that the more i bend stuff the more interesting stuff becomes and also the more i learn about myself from the thing i'm bending because that's the matrix as the boy in the matrix says with the spoon it's like i don't it's not the spoon that needs to bend it's me when he only holds the spoon and it's like it's like i'm bending not the spoon i love that um so you know you bend pitch around and one way you can practice it if you'd like to which is not the same as studying if you want to study then you can ask her like a real scholar i'm more of a i suppose i play i play with these concepts rather than study them but you take an interval and you say like right and you say okay so if i look at genie on the piano there are uh there are two notes in i between that's cool very nice but then you say okay well what if that's what instead of it being you know three what four four notes instead of everything foreign so they're equally spaced but it's not real it's not the piano it is real but it's not the piano is not real so right and then you go further you go right and then you go and so this is actually really really interesting um for voice leading like if you're in a ranger like me and you seek to make voices sound good together then um it is really fun to use these things and i i've talked about this before some of you guys may have seen interviews with me talking about something but take you know like the family guy theme tune you know you guys watch family guy he's [Music] yeah i love this as an example because because if if you do he's a family guy that's really satisfying as a contra emotion part of the melody [Music] because it's blunt it's like a blunt sword but it's unblunt it's gorgeous it's levity because it's delicate but each it's moving constantly moving so that's really that excites me now when things are constantly moving in arrangements and harmony it sounds really good because the ear is consistently twisted and surprised and makes the resolution all the more satisfying you know what i'm saying so uh yeah so so that so that's how i like practice that's how i practice some micro turbo stuff i mean there are all sorts of other things to do too like try um taking it take a song that you like don't know if you like any songs but um any song will do and try transposing it up uh oh legs are getting tired um try try transposing it uh up a semitone and a half when you listen to it you can do this pretty easily you can do this on like logic or garageband or pro tools or ableton or reaper or um fl studio or you can even do it like in tik tok now you can you can write strips on just like move them around put them in different keys and sing along and get used to the idea that keys aren't real like keys aren't the keys don't exist so don't worry about being really don't worry about being too like yeah too too religious about keys because it's okay you can dissolve them does that make sense audacity yeah it's true you can also do them in audacity hi guys my name is jacob collier and i'm signing some posters for you we're doing a question answer session if you're just joining and i'm about to go and answer another one come on i'm looking at some questions don't judge me um let me see here's oh wow blimey there's a lot of there's a lot of questions here [Music] um okay here's one take your index finger and your thumb your index finger on your thumb here is it so you're about to flick something yeah don't do it like two don't don't like don't load it too too much just like a little bit of tension and then and then so leave that in your one hand and then if you do this then people will be like oh you know that's fine so then with your mouth you can you can pitch the different notes so i'm blocking i'm blocking the back of my uh mouth with my tongue back like that [Music] and i'm pitching it without let me do this yeah so all you're gonna do is you're gonna take this finger of your right hand or whatever chad you would use and it's gonna flick yeah side of your cheek but as you do this you're gonna like ascend the pitch in your mouth so basically you're going to go from low to high really fast and actually as i'm doing that i'm realizing that my tongue comes forwards not like at all but just like like that so there you go that is how you do the bowing sound in with your mouth and everyone has a different mouth so don't judge me but yeah you can you too can do a bowing sound with your mouth that's the honest truth of things let's hear you now let's see you just give me give me a nice point good now one more few more yeah try moving your tongue slightly faster instead of you know some of you doing this just make it springy yeah that's a little bit better that's pretty good one more time yeah i think i think i think you're getting the hang of this okay there you go that is the answer to gemma gemma's question thank you for that question it might be one of my favorites actually that i've answered thus far on today's livestream um please if you if you'd like to uh if you'd like to after this video has end did please post a video of you doing the mouth noise and uh do hashtag i'm trying to think of a good hashtag um hashtag jacob mouth noise yeah no jacob jacob um no jacob mouthpoint let's have that one jacob mouthpoint post your submissions on instagram i'll be checking them out later and reposting my favorites jacob mouthpoint hashtag jake mouthbourne boring with blowing your mouth that's the end of the story um yeah okay yeah yeah writing boing doesn't doesn't mean you're doing it i need proof i need i need more proof on that um so from boeing to i don't know what something that runs oh i know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna change my outfit from this so this was my white hoodie my jacob jesse hoodie and i really really love it and i think you would actually love it too so go ahead and buy one if you'd like to this is the jay poly t-shirt but this is all from volume to the old for jesse volume 2. which is look at this i'm so prepared this is my hello my name is jk blah blah blah and then i learned jacob these are my vinyls if you want to you can buy them um they'll soon be objective on three vinyls but before that's just one of three posters but you already know that so um what was i going to say about this yeah so this is this is this this here is this and it's a real piece of art and the art was made by this incredible artist called astrid arisaelian aselian eraser she's like an old friend of of my mother's and she's extraordinarily special in multiple ways and this artwork she painted the whole thing it's a painting it's actually the painting hanging next door this little fly yeah and so this is this all this is made out of this beautiful artwork and so this is just jesse volume one suit yourself suit yourself and i'm gonna change into the poncho because the poncho is like i think my favorite of all of all of the stuff um because it's really uh it's really nice and and it's all it's the artwork itself is all so weird now if you know me then you'll know just how just how much i love a good poncho pancho man oh i can get rid of oh no i was gonna ask that question a second okay yeah so this is my this is the part you can have one of these ponchos would you like a poncho okay that's good to know so go on to go on to jacobcarlia.com not collier collier smileyface jkully.com and you can buy one and actually i believe like from the text i'm receiving from my team they're selling out i think the the logic session t-shirt is already sold out thank you for selling it out but if you want one of these now is the time does someone you know have a birthday for example do you have a birthday do you want to treat yourself does someone you hate have a birthday if so convert the hate into love and purchase a poncho a jacob quality poncho made with love designed with love worn by your boy jc now nus kingpin is asking what's the idea behind auto-tune well the idea behind autotune is that you sing some notes in to oh wait you can't see my posters now you can that's a bit better the idea behind all student is that you sing notes into your computer or what you sing it into your microphone and then the microphone translates it using magnets or whatever the mic microphone is into a signal which goes to computer and then you can basically make that you can make those notes sound like they're in tune now don't get me started on this because as i as i just mentioned if you were here about 10 minutes ago on this instagram live stream of a friday afternoon or evening here in london 10 p.m you will know that the piano which is obviously what autotune adheres to is a system of tuning is in fact not ideal for most well actually for lots of music it's fine but it's it's not real so so you can you can put water to your voice and basically what it does is it rounds every note to the nearest note you know so if i go ah then it will go because that's what student does it just splits your notes into semitones um that is all well and good if you're working with any uh equal temperament which is what the piano is working within suit yourself um it's it can be a really cool sound like for example a good friend of mine uh who's actually on jesse volume 3. now feel free to just like freak out for a second because i know that's a big news for some of you t-pain is on jesse volume 3. he's an absolute champion legend of his craft he was really like he's one of the first guys to make autumn hit and the reason was because actually if you've seen t payne's tiny desk concert you will know he's a badass singer he can really really sing like he's an amazing singer and uh he uses austrian because he loves the sound of it and it's an interesting sound kind of synthesizes your voice and makes it sound like you know a synth or a keyboard or whatever yeah and uh and so if you use it if you use it as a as a creative choice it's like really badass because you know it's up to you you can do that um i think what can be what can be tricky about austrian is when you lean on it like like a crutch same same goes for all technology actually to be honest um yeah oh this this person has a little line down it it's the first one i've seen that has like a it's like a silk thread so this one's very special and i'll do something special for it if you get the one with the line on it then then it's exciting um do a heart next to the line okay um so if you lean on technology as a crutch in anything in your life like if you filter yourself all the time or if you auto correct your spelling all the time or if you use quantization and you're if you're rhythmic being and you use quantization which is like you play drums or midi drums in and it rounds all the notes to the nearest beat it's exactly the same as altitude you go um and all the notes will sound right but here's here's the catch it's not right it's just a choice completely arbitrary what's right and wrong no one said that if the beats were equally spaced then they'd be better if the beats weren't equally spaced and if you go to if you're going to brazil if you go to portugal if you go to bolivia if you go to morocco um many many places you go to mali you're going to go to uh madagascar if you go to uh to ghana you go to senegal ma'am it's it's completely wonky all the rhythm is super wonky and the feel is so much deeper um oh it's different it's like a different feel from techno [Music] that stuff is cool and so same super pitch if you get a chord which is in tune with physics and not in tune with piano then you're really talking and if you sing in a choir or you're playing a string quartet or if you play trumpet in a brass sextet or something like this then you'll know that what some of you may know the feeling of being in a major chord i just tried to be in tune it's just unparalleled so special so so special um someone's just commenting listen to the saint vincent and david byrne album love this giant you should definitely do that killer so so good there's this there's a song on that one called he goes i used to think that i should watch tv i used to think that it was good for me i'm thinking about david impression ah so it's so badass that album is just ah it's really good so i appreciate the comment uh but anyway that's the only one or two is that all of the notes in in your song can be rounded to the nearest note and obviously there's a fader so you well actually don't have the austrian plugin so i don't know but i have like a pitch correction plug-in which comes free with logic that does a similar thing and it's cool you know someone like t-pain or ty dollar sign these guys make it sound super musical because it's like a they're singing like like a synthesizer and it's really gorgeous um but just just beware be aware that there you have choices you have choices someone's commenting here um are these posters limited edition yeah it's true they actually they are limited edition it's funny you should say that there's um this is how many i've done this much already all they're all over here all the ones i've signed there's my name there's me i'm sorry i'm the cider that's that's the secret signature and uh yes so we're about halfway through this session please keep the questions coming this is really really good fun um it's so nice to see you oh so great to see you you're looking really well you look a bit hungry but no you should have some food but yeah i think that's good go ahead and buy some posters okay oh sam am i done is extraordinary musician if you don't know him already i'm sure many of you do uh he's just a badass in every way he's a singer he's also a fiddler and a guitarist he's also a banjist love me a banjust but i'm not appreciative of banjusts who beat me at table tennis the other day someone came over to my house uninvited on his bicycle and we hung out from a social distance i might i may add from social distance and uh ping pong is a good activity to do from so traditions because it's almost exactly two meters apart so there there i was there was samara and uh we played at ping pong is damn good yeah it's just it's it's very you can see him in the comments here he's really good i did i did beat him um but still i'm not yeah i'm not i'm not i'm i'm not the best table tennis player in the world but anyway me and sam had a really great time welcome samurai go check out sam amidon um so many beautiful albums sam amadon's music accompanied me on my first flights um alone i ever took in my lifetime i don't even know if i told you this sound but i usually get on plane when i was about 20 and everything was kicking off and i was like jacob used to go to l.a now or something i'd be like i don't know if i really want to go to l.a people don't laugh there um at my jokes uh and i listened to um i see the sign the summoned on album and it got me through that whole period of time so i'm really grateful to sam and you will be too once you've gone check tonight if you haven't already the question i'm i've put myself to ask is from jacob helbig who is a badass as well actually and the question is how do you stay excited about making music when you're in a bad mood that's the question well i've never been in a bad mood so i don't know uh i uh i'm actually in a very very bad mood right now you just can't tell i know um so moods go up and down that life is a life is like a um life is like many things but on the contrary um life is brilliant it's beautiful and if you do life in a way where you are content with not being a straight line and you're content with being a wiggly line as alan watts would say he always talks about wiggly lines and if you can get down with being wiggly then i find that you can be happy more easily so i find that for example that people who live in straight lines where things are defined and linear and expected and this stuff that these people um can often accomplish um a lot of things but they're not necessarily well there's a fly so let me jump they're necessarily the happiest people the happiest people are the people who can alchemize their life into something beautiful no matter what it is and no matter what it throws at them um and so yeah in my life for example uh there's been there's been some hardship in my life and i'm very grateful to it because i think it's showing me how how to create contrast and how to enjoy contrast and i think that when i make music one of the challenges is to be as open as you can to your own palette of honesty and so what comes out when you create it often will often teach you a lot about yourself um this isn't necessarily true when you you know when you create for a reason like if you create for example to like impress someone like i want to impress a girl or i want to like pass an assignment or sell lots of records or this kind of thing um but when you when you sit down and you and you really sing like you really create as a you'll see you're being spontaneous that there is an amazing place to learn the apparatus of dealing with your life and so for me i find that music has brought me out of some of the some of the darkest places i've been in and it's not because i've been able to convert the dark places into light places it's because i was able to let the dark places be dark and at by creating through them um i was able to i like the word alchemist because there is something almost magical about music but when you take a force in your life and you open it out instead of shying away from it and you say you know what i'm feeling like this today let's let's unpack this let's see how this feels that's really special and you really feel it as an audience member so i recently wrote a song called he won't hold you that just came out like a week ago or even less than a week ago i'll be here today i think it was actually and um the music video for that dropped yesterday as i'm sure some of you guys know and that song was a really good example of a song that came from a place of of doubt and unknowing and it became a place of darkness i don't mean darkness in a scary way it's not like a darth vader or something though however no yeah um it's more that it's more that that was a really it's like a really gentle approach to a mood which was which is fascinating to me and so by creating with it and i didn't plan it you know i didn't think i'm going to create in this way further it just came out and i think that i've practiced um i practice letting my emotions come out when i play um my mom's been super she's always been super big on that like you have to you have to play like play what you wish for you know like play play what you yeah play play what you long for and stuff like that um but for me i think that when you're composing and producing and mixing and arranging making sounds and in a room like this it's so special the number of sounds that you can make um but that process becomes so beautiful and i really think that's lovely and so i think that the answer the direct answer to the question how do you stay excited about making music when you're in a bad mood is to write the bad mood into the song instead of trying to instead of trying to speed up the bad mood so that you can get back to making music again you know like don't rely upon a good mood to make something good it's like so interesting when you're again i go back to what i said before but if you're uncomfortable or if you're curious or if there's something you're questioning and you put the questions into the into the piece and it affects your choices that's gorgeous you should do that it's definitely am i introdu for myself and it's not always easy especially when you're under pressure and you haven't got much time and stuff but um that's why that's why i love it so much i love the language so much because it's so real and it makes you makes you uh colorful you know so yeah i would just say i would say lean into your moods use them to your advantage like david byrne uses his voice to your advantage to his advantage okie dokie um hi everyone it's so nice to see you um people have been really really really lovely to me in these comments you are being very very lovely to me in this comments and i really appreciate that um thank you for being here let's let's keep on answering questions and uh let's also keep signing some posters uh oh man hmm there are some good ones oh you wouldn't believe some of these you wouldn't believe some of these okay linney.ng is asking a very very difficult question um but i will try my best to answer it the question that is being asked for those of you who are interested is you can see for yourself if you are not interested so it's fine but the question is do you have advice for someone who has hard time coming with good lyrics so the answer is yes but that's not the end of what i'm going to say um oh sorry overzealous there with my uh poncho which you can buy if you want to on my website um so imagine there are two characters this is one of the best piece of advice i ever received and i received it from an incredible man a music educator called pete churchill who some of you may actually know he's from london uh well he's he's in london and yeah pete churchill once said so i asked him the same question i said hey uh all i ever seem to write about with lyrics is just like my you know my own universe and that's not big enough uh sometimes doesn't feel better so how do i open it out how do i start writing about real you know like stuff that's not just going in circles and glowing metaphors and all this stuff and and he said imagine there are two characters now now this can be this could be a however abstract you need it to be you know some people write a song that's actually a duet and there are two people singing and there's one side of the story on the other side of the story and that's totally cool um but for me the interesting thing about that is that you can take that in so many directions you know like for example he won't hold you there so i record here and hold you is not really one person talking to the other it's more like two people exploring a theme sort of against each other using each other i wrote a song called in the real early morning actually right after hearing this advice from pete um and i don't know if you i don't know if you guys know the song the really in the real early morning but um it's uh it's it's essentially a song about uh it's on in my room it's my first album and it's a song hi laura it's a song about uh it's a basic interaction what not basically a very complicated interaction with a uh with um me as one person and like a female an abstract female character is the other character and there are many women in my life are very important to me but i wanted to open up the uh the song so that it in one way it's my daughter who i don't have yet or maybe will never have but maybe will i don't know i would like to have um and maybe it's uh my mother who i know i love dearly um sister uh friend because guiding guiding spirit um and and so i began this dialogue with this other person and it's not that the other person's there talking it's not like and you know and like i said this and she said this i mean and then i got married you know whatever that it's like um it's like i'm asking a question to somebody else so that was really useful to me imagine two characters imagine two people on different sides of a window pane or different size of a tree or on different sides of their day one at the beginning one at the end what would the perspectives be like from either side or imagine um you now and you in the future or you now and you in the past or you in the future and you in the past not you now um or imagine uh imagine so many people to imagine imagine imagine speaking with your great great grandmother that's a cool conversation uh like when you're exactly the same age when you're both 25 and absolutely abstract you can do whatever you want imagine imagine a conversation or imagine that you're not in the equation at all and sometimes it's the most interesting of all imagine that it's just it's two people and and you're explaining something from the perspective of one of them for the ears of the other or these two people aren't necessarily communicating they're actually maybe they're not they're not communicating maybe they're not they're not looking each other in the eye why why aren't they looking each other in the eye and how can how can you explore that how does it feel to not look someone in the eye like how does that feel to you in your life right now you probably know the feeling of not being able to beat someone's eye because either you're afraid that you might laugh or you're afraid that you might cry or you're afraid that um you might fall in love with them or you're afraid that they might judge you there's so many interesting stories to tell um um obviously this is just this is just yeah just just one idea uh but run with it they'd be super cool if you wrote songs now i'm sure you already are writing them right as i speak as i'm writing my signatures on these jesse one of three persons that you can buy my website if you'd like to you're probably watching really interesting songs by interaction so i probably need say no more uh yes you can people are commenting yes can we buy these yes you can um i'm signing these basically for that reason so that you can buy them look this is oh i was hoping i get a reflection or something yeah you uh you you do you you buy a poster they glow in the dark i'm not lying they glow in the dark so later you will well later in the day where you receive them and it's been in a light place you will put them on your wall and they will go in the dark and you will be happy and you will remember i breathe on these posters and that may turn you on or it might turn you off and it's all good so anyway that is a little bit of advice for for lyricism i'm still learning all this stuff um this lyricism stuff i don't think that use i can't remember what i was going to say okay okay then that's fine here's another question supermind underscore soundscapes good username it's asking as a listener have you ever wished you could adjust and interact with music while you're listening to it now this is a very interesting question [Music] done [Music] me [Music] do [Music] daddy [Music] hmm okay um as a listener have you ever wished you could adjust and choke the music you listen to it um yes because uh well let me tell you a little story so when i was younger i was introduced to a group called take sex a group of things called take sex have you heard of take six yo let me know in the comments um if you have how to take six if you haven't you're in for a massive treat um picture this right i was 15 years old i was really most like the thing in my life that made me like probably the happiest was chords on the piano or in the voice uh but i haven't really done a huge amount of listening to acapella music other than like classical choral music from england so here here comes this group take six right it's six black guys with voices like velvet um they met on campus at the oakwood university in huntsville alabama shout out to this incredible university uh in a choir called the aeolians of oakland university who are as i'm sure some of you guys know amongst my favorite people in the world conducted by jason maxwell and unbelievable unbelievable human beings um cynthia and ventus choir and so i checked out take six after people were like you should go upstairs i was like i don't know man it's i'm bored like i don't you know people ask you check things out they're like you will love this and then you're like okay then i won't check it out because i don't want to um anyway after a while i checked them out and it was super cool i mean actually completely changed my life to for want of a better for want of a better life and uh there's a song of theirs called he never sleeps and it's just phenomenal and there's another there's another song of theirs called a quiet place it was arranged by mervyn warren and it's just ridiculously cool beautiful beautiful harmony super spiritual super heartfelt just gorgeous and what i used to do is i used to sing the seventh note in every one of the chords that they were singing because they are six people and as some of you who play piano or don't play piano may know there is there are seven notes in every scale normally and so there's always a note you're gonna add to a six part chord that is consonant even today even in traditional terms consonant with the song and uh so that was so that was fun i was fun to realize that i'm gonna get this thing okay that's fine that was fun to realize so i used to be like i find the note in all the gaps because the gaps is where the juices or the juices in there so sorry so yeah i i basically i do i they'll answer the question directly um i do i adjust and check the music while i'm singing all the time because you can do that with your ear and your brain and your voice um this eubase that i just played here for example i was kind of noodling but um i take this on family holidays and i sit in the back of the car watch the front of the car normally and i play along and and mess with the music that i'm listening to uh so i do i do that i also sometimes wish i could climb in and be like turn down the trombone you know nothing wrong with trombonists don't start a fight but sometimes it makes this a trombone heavier right so i want to go and turn it down and it's it's one of the perils of being a you know being a music producer is that you start listening to music in the same way that you create it um which is a very similar process to creating music as you listen to it and as many of you guys may do many of you guys may listen to music i find myself um i find myself responding to the music i'm listening to emotionally uh on a very similar access to the access to in which i create so if for example i'm having a day where i'm just all i can listen to is like early bonny bear and i'm just like weeping softly then that's probably the best that's probably the most effective axis to put to use with my energy because i have a response to it and so like you know when it's like some days you're just like oh man i feel this today this is just like oh it's so special it's so heavy it's so powerful so gorgeous and just the sensation of feeling really connected to music it changes every day some days i want to listen to like django bates and hamada pascual like insane music right and other days i want to listen to william byrd and some days i want to listen to laura mavulo he's just in the chat um it it depends but certain people and sounds hit the spot for me on different days and i find that the things that like someone's commenting i love your shirt can i just can i just make one thing very clear this shirt is for sale you can buy one if you'd like to it's actually not even a shirt it's actually a poncho but i appreciate the thought it's the thought that it's the thought that counts so you can go ahead and buy one of these ponchos they're online insiders dude it could be up to you you can do if you want to spy care not guaranteed it's not coming to purchase but what i was saying is if you can if you can follow the stuff that excites you then you can probably create with it um most effectively you can create with those materials like most effectively um someone's commenting jango bates interval song yo it's a classic autumn classic tap into youtube actually don't do this buy the music by django makes his music um he he wrote this incredible song called the interval song someone's commenting arranged all-star i've got ebay so i might as well just do uh what keeps you doing um [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] that i think answers that question uh let's move on and i'll see another one um here's a is it is a good one a dot underscore rav has it has a query and the query is is this the query is how to memorize good shapes this is a question that you can answer in a myriad of ways which is why i chose to answer it today for you all um i would uh i would hazard a guess that this question appetains to shapes within uh music within musical instruments namely even like keyboard keyboard instruments or guitar shapes like on the fingerboard and stuff like this um i suppose guitarists are the most shape-based musical creatures that exist in the world currently but i find i find for me that i visualize a lot of shapes like hormone shapes within the piano but i've also recently started um visualizing them on the harped edges let me just get my harpedia oh man my legs are all creaky very creepy indeed here's my hog hop edge i'm gonna uh i'm gonna do a little i'm gonna do a little heart in the top left hand corner of this poster because it's the one that i put the arpeggio on so if you get this one then you know uh you know what's what's good and you can all you can order post sorry sorry to keep saying this but you can order posters i'm signing these posters you can order them online you can get a signed glow-in-the-dark jesse volume 3 poster for your own basically your own your joy your own sense of joy or sorrow pleasure varying kinds of pleasure you can get from this kind of a poster so i just i mean people keep talking about the arpeggio and for good reason so as far as shapes are concerned the incredible thing about the arpeggi which is why it appealed to me so much is because you have to learn a whole new set of shapes so for example on the piano right you play a major chord a shape is shapes like this right um yeah like this and you learn you learn to visualize like the other the the shapes and on the instrument and you can put this shape up here up here up here invert it right and that's all good fun on the guitar is a whole different set of shapes yeah open window where should we go something out there something looming out there it's very exciting okay but on the arpeggi the shapes are so new it's so insane uh the instrument is capable of things that the piano is not capable of because it's basically half uh it's like half like a guitar and half like a like a piano so if you look at the instrument you can see that there's black and white dots and those actually correspond to the black keys on the piano um and and the white ones are the white case but that somehow doesn't make it easier to uh to learn because yeah basically you have to you have to figure out the shapes that make the most sense so the thing about the arpeggio it's not it's not plugged in right now so you can't really hear it that well but you basically insert you climbing up the instrument you kind of want to go in this direction because it's it's you're not like the first time i played i did this because i thought it was just like a guitar with frets yeah with pull-offs and stuff you can't do pull-offs [Music] um but the cool thing about the instrument is that you can you can move this way too and you can do these clustery chords right i'm trying to go with one hand here to explain what's going on so a triad on arpeggi is this shape um and then like a minor triad is this shape and a sus or a suspended second right i don't really use my thumb corey henry uses his thumb when he when he plays an arpeggio it does someone say corey henry's in the house if you hear corey mum man you're such a you're such a you're such a dude corey is like the best harpedy player i've ever heard um but yeah but basically what you do what corey plays with this stuff don't you don't you corey um i haven't got good enough to do really do that yet um but i tend to use my fingers just to make scales and stuff happen and so in the left hand you can do these stretches um you know like you can do like a tenth it's like so easy to do corey he is here so nice what is up brother uh yeah you can do [Music] shapes like this which on the piano were like really big but on the arpeggio nice and tender but the reason i got excited about this [Music] is that you're into these sequences oh man just climbing up the instrument and doing beautiful stuff right but that they even just working way down a scale in thirds it's like a whole different kind of fish from this bad boy so the question is yeah how do you memorize good shapes um i think the best way to memorize anything is to use it in the same way that the best way to to memorize a language is to use it uh when you're trying to speak it and um the best way to memorize shapes on a guitar is to jam with your mates and the best way to memorize uh shapes in within verbal reasoning is to solve verbal reasoning problems and uh stuff like that so i i think that i always have the kind of brain that works quite visually like i have quite a good visual memory it's better than uh other other kinds of memory that i possess but the arpeggio was like such a challenge um because yeah it was just totally brand new with shapes it was like every shape was or something i was learning from scratch and that made it really beautiful and challenging i love a challenge like one thing one thing i'd love to do recently is is i don't know if you can really see this but like pull off my strings like this [Music] i really love that so you have to visualize the shape above the shape and then you have to pick off within that shape because you can't do random so that looks wrong well it's not wrong it's just no so i'm visualizing this shape up here and there's a shape down here [Music] so i could literally play that hop edgy all day as i did over christmas that's when i really really got into it anyway oh geez oh um yeah shapes i mean i also just love shapes in general i'm such a shape guy you know you catch me at the shape market on tuesday afternoon uh there's all sorts of good shapes in the world i i have a query and the query is to all of you americans um if you're in the chat right now and corey henry you're one of them brother so you can list you can ask this if you want to but when i say trapezium do you say trapezoid let me know in the comments if so i don't endorse you at all i mean i don't your use of the word trapezoid i think to the trapezium is the correct word brah so what do you think eddie benjamin's in the house what is up dude it's good to see you you you're saying you do use trapezoid man you guys suck you actually don't suck trapezoid are you kidding me man oh the lid came off trapezium trapezium is the correct word just as alnominium is the correct word troy's in the house what's up right just as aluminium is the correct word just as garage is the right word and not garage um just as you say semi detached not semi none of that and today's today's livestream is turning out to be quite a quite a british um sort of a yeah british uh british spout or something it's not my i'm british it's me that's what i am i'm i'm a british man but trapezoid i'm not having any of that trapezium do you think it's such a gorgeous word trapezium don't say trapezoid i see you in the comments there i don't do that i'm not having that um i'm going to take off my poncho it's just really warm this poncho is yours you can you can buy this you can buy this poncho online at the jacobcollier.com store it's the truth it's the truth of the matter you don't have to you really don't have to but it's super comfy and it's warm as i'm basically showing it's really soft on the inside oh gorgeous perfect as a as a gift for um somebody who's just about to have a baby know anyone like that in your life um if so something else yeah this is really good buy it but um what was it what was it going to say poncho poncho buy a poncho so now we're going to spend a bit of time in the t-shirt this is also for sale if you want to buy it yourself jake quality t-shirt based on jay quality artwork for jessie one two chase one of three's about to come out it's all good though don't worry about it so coming out on august the 14th okay so now we've talked about memorizing shapes um i'm pregnant from your music someone is jack is saying this is i'm quite surprised to hear that to be honest um it seems seems unlikely you know i expect you're probably using it as a metaphor to say that you enjoy the music that i'm making i'm very appreciative of that it will be unlikely to have impregnated you as a man with um as if not me as a man but you are a man and so the fact that you're pregnant is unlikely and then you know musical i don't know about doing about that still thank you i mean i really appreciate that a lot um clara's here what's up clara it's good to see you there's a lot of good people in the chat today that's the honest truth of things um so we're going to continue this little instagram live session uh with a little bit of a i'll ask you more questions more questions oh well here's one that doesn't require any kind of uh writing so somebody's asking me to show us as a i say us i mean you because the percussion's behind me so let's do that let's have a look at what's going on here this is my haphazard drum setup which has been uh sort of turned upside down over the course of quantity so this is a glockenspiel which is a percussion instrument this here is my drum set this actually is a cerdo and sodas are normally played upright and when i go on tour which is not today or the next day i have a soda on stage and i play the soda as a kick drum with my hands so i can go like [Music] you know which i i can't do with my feet as a non non foot non good at footwork drum set player so i've toured with this as you can tell because it's all battered i taught the whole of europe with this photo but it right now it's my kick drum sounds really good um and the the i did this tiny desk concert like i did it here it was like went from here to here and i basically sat in this very room that posters look at that poster gorgeous no you should buy one um i i sat i sat here and i had to figure out would have a kick drum because i realized that i didn't have a kick drum actual real kick jump is actually in storage right now with the rest of my touring gear but this was at home when lockdown began so put drum pilot science sounds pretty good bongos which i toured europe with as well they're really good beautiful sizzle symbol made by murat virile my favorite symbol in the world actually that one funny you should ask crash cymbal here by paste there's a stag splash everyone needs a stack splash merrill splash and a little cup chime and this is a hi-hat my my og i-hat from when i was like a teenager which i really love um tom's out of use currently there's a little cushion one of my chartered cushions there's two snare drums down here one is like a big another one's like a and this one's like i'll show you this one's really nice super super brisk [Music] so pissing off the neighbors [Music] all good yeah so i i have i have three different size snare drums because i think that it's important to mess around with different size snare drums and so i figured out i figured out that that's useful this is my spoons which i use as like an alternate hi-hat it's a really nice alternative to the yeah i just said that hi hat this kind of thing c414 making up the snare um this uh the keycard i use i usually use this pr48 on the kick which is kind of a bit like a tom mic but you can use it for a kick if you want to as well um yes they are really spoons people asking you three spoons i'm a huge fan of spoons i have a musical instrument called the harmonizer and i built it with my friend ben bloomberg and it i sing and i play chords and then i um then out comes harmony and i can actually control the harmonizer with a set of spoons attached to pedals so you can freeze you can latch um there's like an alternate freeze function and so i can create this infinite sustained infinite reverb using it which is really satisfying um spoons are i think they're really useful uh and and this i suppose extends to the percussions behind me if i'm sitting in this position these are some jambes um this is when i was i was gifted in cleveland five years ago when i went on a little trip uh this is a gembay um it's a sort of like a high-pitched gem made bat and this one's like a low pitch champion this is one of my first musical instruments ever actually this beautiful past gembe some tambourines and metronomes up there it's a quicker oh no actually that's no that's not the quicker there's the quicker sorry how you get them mixed up that's the jug it's just a jug from the kitchen lava lamp very nice uh calendars and stuff and so piano yeah because yeah so but yeah basically this is that's my first section uh and there are other things too there's tabla up here this actually is a bottle of i believe it's vodka i think it's polish vodka i actually haven't opened it because it looks so nice now i don't often drink that much vodka either it's quite quite extra extraordinary tasting anyway i just like it because it looks like a musical instrument makes me feel comfortable and here there's some other other instruments talking drum in there and there's a little singing bowl i was gifted in india i went to mumbai and did some shows and someone gave me this beautiful singing bowl which i really love a lot just boxes of treasures and things i've made or found over the years anyway that is the answer to your question actually the answer to the question is yes i can show you i just i just decided also to do so uh thanks for sticking around and this is great so we can now we can continue with the with the signings hi from colombia hello from london it's good to see you um can i play the tablet well i i can i can make a sound out of it i can i can make it go but i can't i can't really play the tablet i'm not a tabler master they say it takes three la three lifetimes to master the tablet and to be completely honest um i'm quite busy but still i think that i think that the tablet is beautiful incredible incredible instrument with a massive legacy behind it and thus i have one and um i use it like i play it when i play the tablet and you ask well i played it in there's a song of mine in my room called down the line and there's tableau on that and there's also a song of mine called hajjanga and there's a yes there uh there's let's have it on that too i play tablet on ocean wide canyon deep which is a song i could pose for jesse volume 1. what else if i don't put tablet on sky above i think there's some table on sky above i don't think anything on jessie volume 3 has tableau though um it's not very tablic it's not very tablet piece of work it's exciting though i might i might tell you a little bit about it because it's like it's the era so i yeah i just finished it i finished it like six days ago after announcing the track list i was still working on it when i announced the checklist but i realized that was the checklist um it's really exciting i'm really excited for you to hear it actually if i'm completely honest jesse reyes is on it t-pain's on it you talked about typing earlier on if done if you're around for that if you were congratulations you like me have sat through this entire cod swallow without ducking out um we're signing posters so people asking me people are asking what are you doing i'm signing posters and they're for you you can buy them i'm signing my name jacob collier on the posters and they glow in the dark and so feel free to purchase one if you'd like to but you re you honestly don't have to like i would not be offended at all if you didn't if you didn't want to purchase one of these it's fine please absolutely no need to own something so gorgeous there's no need suit yourself all right no stress just okay let's let's resume um hi from st louis hi from london uh this is really cool guys okay okay let's do uh let's let's continue with some questions shall we i'm loving all these comments keep them coming um hmm oh there's some really good ones here okay of all the questions i've been reading this is one of the hardest the question is tea or t and the answer is stay tuned to find out stay tuned the answer between t and t sometimes sometimes it can be hard to differentiate between t and indeed t but the answer is t let's put that back there yes yeah that's fine i've i've answered i'll answer the question thank you for the question um i myself enjoy drinking tea i also as many of you guys will have astutely noticed i also enjoy consuming tea bags that's it that's the end of the story okay that's fine um oh this is a really good one it's a difficult question laura maverick just being lovely in the comments there's no need laura but i appreciate it um question here is what do you think about how you think and um to be honest i i i go up and down with this i think sometimes i think that i think brilliantly and other times i think i think in the worst possible way i think in many different ways uh like many people do and i think that i think that what's interesting to me aside from thoughts is like what drives thoughts and i think you can have thoughts that are based in fear and i think you can have thoughts that are based in for one of a maybe for a better word love you know acceptance and being open and being being forgiving and being understanding and sort of viewing accepting and seeing things um i think that i think that i think that minds are really extraordinary things and i think that uh i think a lot i'm thinking about thinking all the time oh this is a really interesting post it's got like a little glitch in the thing which makes it look like there's a ribbon going through it a little heartless in the ribbon uh yeah oh i've just been informed that the posters have sold out thank you for selling them out for me i didn't do that you did it i'm really grateful i'm just going to keep on signing them anyway because this is really fun um so i i'm an overthinker and i overthink a lot of things and i think about thinking about thinking about thinking and i get into these feedback loops where i have no vestige of present moment i just have echoes of echoes of echoes at the moment and that can be really difficult um because it can make you feel quite uh quite alone you know if your mind is in a place which is not connected to the real world it's connected to itself which is connected to itself which is connected to the real world to be a very downloaded way of experiencing things then the way i think about the mind um one of the ways i think about the mind is a bit like uh the harmonic series and don't be afraid and leave this stream if you it's not scary the harmonic series is a note um a fundamental note with overtones rising from it exists in nature and if i go [Music] yeah the baby little notes those are overtones you have them in your mouth as well you can check them check them out later um thoughts are like this for me and like the fundamentals like the present and the mind operates only in overtones in an upwards direction because the mind is not a camera the mind is a projector this is how i think about it and sometimes i don't think this is right but i think the mind is a project i think it projects all over the world like all over the world so when you meet somebody or you talk to somebody or you create with somebody or you listen to somebody or look at somebody or um whatever kiss somebody um you're projecting the whole time you're projecting your past and your past will define your presence if you're not careful and so i think it's an important and difficult challenge to figure out how to think about thinking because um it can be yeah as i say it can be it can be dangerous to believe all of these projections that they're all real and and a lot of the thing well i've been thinking recently over this pandemic period actually about um belief and believing the stuff and my basic opinion uh or belief about the belief system that i'm believing or like basically about belief itself is that uh it's it's dangerous to believe things because i think that the more you believe the more you're certain of and the more you're certain of the the how can i put this the less present you're open to because i think that if you're certain of something then you'll bring that certainty into every experience that you have and you'll meet someone and say i know what kind of person this is or you'll listen to a piece of music and say i know what kind of music this is or you will travel somewhere and say i know what kind of restaurant this is or i've tasted this before i know what the kind of things so people love being certain people love it when they're certain about things and i love it too i'm very addicted to it i'm addicted to thinking this is a framework that works i understand the framework but it doesn't help you always it can sometimes help you but for me i think the interesting premise is what what if you didn't believe anything what if there were no beliefs and you were just present instead and you weren't concentrated on on being certain about anything being one way i think that obviously it's a huge question i don't know the answer but i've been experimenting recently with with creating from a perspective of being uncertain more than being certain um and a belief is i suppose yeah when you when you run with us with a certainty and it forms things and human beings are so good at doing this i think it's very interesting the way the the way that people do it and they'll as i say project on everyone everything everything in the world they'll say oh we can understand that we can break that down but the truth of the matter is you can't break it down and i think it's extraordinarily interesting when you realize that if you say oh this is a flower let's take the flower apart and see how it fits together and then we'll understand what a flower is that's not right because i think that because because by taking apart the flower you just make it more and more difficult to understand flower is very simple just smells like a flower but i think that people like to take things apart put them back together again and say that they learn something and you can definitely learn from observing things like this but for me with music as somebody who's basically taken apart music to the maximum and put it back together you don't necessarily learn more um about what makes music feel a certain way by doing that than if you then if you just listen to it and i think the important thing when you create music if you're interested in doing such a thing as that as i am is how to yeah balance your the thinking that you have that you feel like you want to hold on to and it's fine to want to do it's very natural mixed with this uncertainty that this perpetual feeling like nothing is ever really fixed and nothing is ever a straight line um and so maintain this kind of this kind of openness and this i struggle with this i really do um because my brain goes so fast it goes so fast and um there are many things in in my life that i will look at or experience and i'll want to make a connection with something i've seen before or heard before i'll say look this is the same as this the same as this is it and i make these global statements about stuff i'll say well this is all this kind of thing or this is all belongs here and here and and the truth of the matter is that if you even if you look at the same thing from one day to the next your projection of what that thing is has changed and so it's just important to know that just how much you how much of you you give out there's something that i once read in fact i read it uh there's an incredible instagram you guys are on instagram right now you know on instagram there's an incredible instagram page which i follow called the um the holistic psychologist she's really really good and she posted something a few months ago which has really stuck with me which is um people's behavior is simply how they feel about themselves and uh to be honest i was very relieved to read this because i think that it's true and i know that my behavior is often how i feel about myself too i think if i'm in if i'm in a space where where i'm accepting myself and i'm enjoying myself and uh i'm working i'm working with myself and i'm on my own side then i'm often like that to other people and if i'm a grumpy old gizzard one day then that is how i am to other people towards myself as well so i think it's uh it's important to realize um that people are such projectors and it's okay it's not like it's bad to be a projector it's actually really beautiful um but it's nice to realize it because i think it sometimes it just helps things helps you step away from things and realize what's important and what's real and very little is actually real i think is what i'm realizing um anyway does that make does that make sense this is quite a quite a lengthy and rambly answer to a question but that was a good question kind of question i think about thinking about often okay um we're down to the last few posters um and uh that's really cool but there is uh there's time for a few more questions so please keep keep the questions coming um contact your close family and friends if you'd like to uh bring them on board and uh let's uh let's let's let's do this um oh oh i accidentally clicked on this but i can answer it the question is any tips for mastering a track do you master all your own stuff so some people often ask me actually the other day my family asked me they said hey jc um what is mastering and i said uh i said well let me tell you right now uh what mastering is because it's very interesting to know what mastering is so so this is how a process works right you you write a piece of music and you record it you record the piece of music and um once you've recorded it you put in a bit of mixing you know like sculpting away and you think well this wants to breathe here or this wants to unbreathe here or this wants to open out or close in and uh for me a lot of the recording process is actually really simultaneous with mixing because uh mixing and recording especially in a room like this it's much less about sitting down and playing a whole taker instrument and then coming back to the drawing board it's it's more about experimenting as i'm going and kind of painting a a picture of stuff saying like oh here we go let's make some space it's a detail here well and so mixing for me is is very similar to a production so i do i do all the mixing stuff here in this very room um and mastering is what happens when your music is finished basically so you say okay i've just finished jesse volume three this was me like a couple days ago i was like okay i've just finished jesse volume three oh my god i can't believe it and then i sent it off to mastering and i i work with this incredible master engineer whose name is emily lazar and she's one of the most legendary sort of young master engineers in the in in the business she's like a bit of a pioneer she's incredible she wants to jessie volume 2 and she's also just finished mastering jesse 1 3 i got the masters back yesterday they sound cool and what she does is she takes a mix that i've done a mix that i've created um which is basically finished like this is this is the track and she will um she won't climb into that track and start mixing because she doesn't have the control to do that she takes that one stereotrack and she will sprinkle goodness on it and sometimes she'll unsprinkle goodness or unsprinkle badness uh there are many things that you can do as a as a master engineer you know you can sculpt the low end for example you can bring out the high end or you can muffle things down you can connect stuff and you can stretch things out you can make things wider and narrower than the stereo image um you can make things hit really hard and make things be gentle and non-abrasive you can uh you can over you can you can compress stuff so it sounds like really glued together and really or you can keep it really open uh and so i find it really valuable to have another pair of ears at some point in the process because obviously my ears are basically the only years in the in the process up until it goes to mastering um unless i share something with friends and ask them their opinions and stuff like that and so i find that having emily sprinkle her little bit of goodness on the end of the product is a really nice perspective because she might say like whoa this and this are like totally different levels let's make sure they're the same volume and stuff like that so obviously when an album goes out you want to make sure that the songs flow as you can probably imagine i'm obsessive about about this stuff like how songs flow from one song to the next um exactly the amount of time exactly i'm out of space exactly the right amount of high end and low end and i work pretty closely with ben bloomberg my friend ben bloomberg on the on the final process of creating the album too from from a sonic perspective and um he will be really really helpful and he'll say things like there's a bit too much 260 going on here matey got to take some of that out um and and so yeah i'll get to the point where i'm happy with the mix and i'm happy with the spacing and i'll deliver to emily and she'll put her finishing touches on it as she just did this week and then boom it is uh it goes on it goes into the world goes on vinyl and you can order vinyls for you for my website which is great so that that's basically what mastering is and to directly answer the question if you're just joining um i don't master a track but i do mix my tracks to an obsessive amount of depth and uh as far as tips for mixing i think it's just about it's about light and shade it's like if you're a painter like i am i'm not a painter just just as shiny um and uh you're the witness and yeah if you're a painter you want to make sure there's enough light and there's enough shade in your in your portrait or your landscape that you're doing you're creating you want to make sure that something can breathe in this direction and there's space for it to lean back or supposed to lean forwards you want to make sure that you can hear all of the details or what's going on sometimes you want to make sure that you can't hear any of the details and you want to mash it all together there's a song on jesse volume 3 called light it up on me it's one of my favorite songs on the whole album and it's really uh it sounds like this actually it's really bubbly really really bubbly and really like spacious and has loads of depth in it but there's an interesting section now where it really crunches it's like front so crunchy and i deliberately like compressed the out of it because i really wanted to sound like super dense and if you if you compress stuff it's really interesting sound you know you decrease the amount of dynamic range so the quietest sound gets louder and the louder sound gets quieter so if you get like and you can press it it will go like you know what i mean because the clap gets quieter and the air gets louder that's basically what compression is that's good i've got a facetime cool compression is is what education does to people's brains sorry to sorry to break that to you but um it's easier to deal with something if everything is on the surface and if you lay out the raw materials or something without depth it's easier so if you listen to the radio as many of you guys might do you will notice that um everything is loud even the quietest moments of the tracks they're all loud it's really really loud um i don't mean like loud i mean like loud you know you can turn something down that's been compressed that's fine but um i personally love music with dynamic range and you know that's cool and i think you will too actually just by the way that you look looking at me um i think it's really lovely when you know something can come right down to the down to the ground level and it can breathe right up to the top and it's not hasn't been compressed but i also know that it can be really exciting to compress sound so compression is cool and it's interesting it's interesting psychologically it's interesting to compress your ideas to take the quietest part of your idea and make it as loud as as big as the as the loudest part of your idea um and it's also it's also interesting to uh yeah what else is interesting what else is interesting um yeah to when you're having an idea it's like yeah it's like okay i don't know what i was going to say it's like if you're if you're if it's like if you're a painter go back to our song before if you're a painter and you make everything in the background uh in the foreground you know you you bring you flip it you invert it you invert the background the program so everything that was in the foreground is in the distance and everything that's in the distance is right in front of your nose and that's interesting it's interesting a creative experiment to try things like that um and so compression brings things closer to each other and i think that that can be cool it can also be a shame but it's up to you to decide as the mixing engineer or mastering engineer that you claim to be so there you go are some people commenting about like digital versus analog i was brought up in the digital age uh i do have a bit of analog gear actually there i've got a little i've got a little um actually this some of this is just digital gear like my whole setup runs on dante actually but um i have yeah i have some avedas preamps at the of the top there um and it's it's it's cool it's it's a sound it's like an amazing sound when you use analog gear for stuff uh so i what i've realized is that all the plugins it was like quite a mind-blowing moment for me when i realized that all these plugins i was using on logic like compressors they were all built uh imitating real things like actual compressors with knobs and dials some of you elderly people who are watching or elders in my opinion who are watching might be like huh man such a millennial and i would not i would not disagree with you um that is basically what's going on here but yeah plugins imitate analog stuff and so yeah it's interesting to realize that and to listen to the analog stuff if you can you possibly can um guys we're almost at the end of this posters thing it's got probably got time for about two more questions so this is basically your final chance today to ask me a question am i right hey hey everyone cool uh okay you're all ready we're gonna jump into the questions oh my neck is starting to be quickly because i'm looking down and looking up at the same time you ever know that feeling um wow what have we got here some of these are really deep some of these are really deep something's pretty funny hmm whoa whoa here's a here's a quick one our nollie kate is asking uh can we be friends the answer is yes we can that's that's the answer we can um that's that's it um another question matt is asking can we see the posters in the dark matt you'll be pleased to know that we can we can these are glow-in-the-dark posters and yeah you probably won't be able to see yet because it's still light because i'm you won't see my face but basically they glow in the dark and that's so that's the whole idea of glow in the dark is that you can see them when it's dark um trust it's it's mad mad times right here so so yeah feel free to uh actually i think that yeah they're sold out but i'm sorry sorry about that um oh it's another one from arnold kate it's coming through with the questions right here what has been the best day of your life well i can tell you one of the best days of my life uh it was a time in 2018 when i recorded i did a recording session with the aliens over university and you maybe have heard me talk about this before but it was one of the best days of my life they're an extraordinary choir they're so so good and i went to nashville to do it and it was really really really special and i i i'm not going to talk about it for a long time you know but that was one of the best in my entire life we recorded for 12 hours with this group of undergrads this underground choir called the ellensburg university it was just unbelievable that's really cool i don't know why i'm speaking really quietly but i just i figured i'd just speak a little bit quietly someone's asking here um how many hours do you sleep that was one of the questions i saw i i'm like you know what i'm the kind of guy who i don't if i don't speak if i don't sleep for um like about eight hours i i'm not very good at life so i try to sleep um i try to sleep for eight hours um whenever i can yeah i know like i know other people uh who can sleep for like three hours and it's like it's all good i don't i'm not that i'm not that guy i'm not that guy i i like getting sleep i think the sleep is the one time my brain knows how to can process stuff um you went to kendrick lamar i'm saying yes i am into kendrick lamar um yeah yeah some people were asking why is my albums called jessie uh well jesse is just a name that i like um but it's also my name a little bit because i like jc that's kind of my name but it's not really my name but i didn't want it to call it jacob that would have been really weird look at what's going on down here got a whole little sock my foot has decided to exit the sock from the front that's what's going on heather from australia hello from london the philosophy account that i follow i mentioned it's called the holistic psychologist you'll be into that favorite favorite party polly rhythms yeah i always this is like my my party trick point follow them but i can actually do two against three against four against five against six all at the same time on the fingers of one hand if you don't believe me then keep watching ready one two three four five six one two three four five one two three four one two three one two one does that make sense that's that's probably my favorite body with them because it's that's the hardest and if i sped that up you know what you know what you'd hear you'd hear a major triad that's a whole different instagram live stream but the ratio of four to five to six is actually a major triad because it's the fourth fifth and sixth harmonics yeah no worries it's fine yeah i haven't finished my posters you guys have been distracting i'm gonna put you down and you can keep you keep talking poppadoms or bread um papadums or bread uh i i like poppadoms yeah i like poppadoms but there's nothing like freshly made bread there's nothing like it so i'd highly recommend that you make yourself some bread there's a question i don't want about what's my favorite smell the answer is one of the answers is my mom's homemade bread it's another one of my favorite smells what do you think about tango music somebody's are asking well that's a really good question um i love it piazzollo informed so much of my childhood in fact when i was about 14 to 15 years old i played in a tango band a little foot like a folk tango crossover band and i played double bass and i was the singer as well and my mom was in the band and two of her amazing friends nicola and steve and um was that my first time ever performed someone's just commenting just kissed you i i don't really believe that because i i mean i don't i have no memory of this happening i have no memory of just being kissed but thank you thank you nonetheless how do i think i do on hot ones i probably do horrendously hot ones i think i'd hate that don't put me on there don't put me on the show do you play didgeridoo actually the question is you play didgeridoo and the answer is no no as bill wants to say no um i'm getting kisses from people now not real ones but like virtual ones so i really appreciate um guys that this is this is the penultimate poster
