Talentless hacks

Behold the countless looks of contempt from an entire symphony orchestra!
Imagine spending your entire life dedicated to your instrument, rising to the top of your field, only to be directed by a children's birthday clown who says shit like "wiggle wiggle wiggle" to entire theaters full of grown-ass adults.
Why do we even bother?
His stuff is a bit soulless but he's certainly not talentless
they are used to eat shit desu

What a tasteless composition.
Still, at least it's a composition!
*solves music*
Being a phenomenal musician is one thing. Standing in front of musicians of this calibre, a large audience, and 20 cameras and having your brain arranged in such a way that you can think clearly, communicate kindly and effectively, and clearly be enjoying it - and still do the creative bit - that’s what amazes me.
I am a hard Zulu man. But I cried at the end of this. This is what humans should be known for: to harmonise with each other. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. Jacob deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. His work makes us focus on peace in ourselves and each other.
From a session violinist's perspective, most don't give a single fuck. If anything, they are happy, as that may actually pay some bills. And if you only knew what sensitive clowns some of the "serious" directors are, at least this one doesn't pretend.
I feel sorry for them, kek.
Shut up faggot, Collier can lick my nuts
nigger of nigger music
thats an achivement on itself
That's just resting bitch faces and jam faces
I hate Jacob Collier so much it's unreal.
This nigga dresses himself like a toddler.
He's not talentless, he just knows theory infinitely more than he knows how to write compelling music
A creative genius at play
What a wonderful world
This could be
This is the America we need and deserve!
Creating, together. Not destroying, alone.
Creativity and love will prevail!
He's like thirty-one! Mozart was writing better music when he was eight years old!
It's cool tho and i don't think it easy to improvise like that on spot with so many musician.
Sure, but that doesn't mean the guy doesn't know a crap-ton of theory. His problem is that he can't use it to write anything interesting beyond an intellectual level
There's theory out there on how to write good songs. Lots of them! Clearly Jacob doesn't spend any time on that, because his stuff sounds bad and tasteless in a way you'd never see from a remotely craft-conscious songwriter.
That's not music theory though which is what he's specifically good at. He's almost godlike at harmonies and chord progressions, that just doesn't translate in any way to songwriting ability
I think Jacob Collier is an incredible musician, but trying to learn from him often times feels useless. He has perfect pitch as well as clearly an innate sense of audiation, that most people don't have access to.
i remember when Dave Mustaine also did this shit and it got so bad it's never released officially and what you got is a bunch of bits and pieces from that performance because Mustaine kept taking the whole recording down
i mean look at it youtube.com
