"we're after the same rainbow's end ..my huckleberry friend...."

One guy, in a room in North London, makes his own choir.







Jacob Collier won two more Grammys last night, his third and fourth. A musical Michelangelo with a computer. He's 25.

His multi-tracked chords, dischords and harmonies bend your ear, break your heart, then push your spirit skywards.


Best arrangement, instrumental or a cappella

Moon River (Jacob Collier)

Best arrangement instruments and vocals

All Night Long (Jacob Collier, Jules Buckley, Take Six)


For Moon River, he got 150 friends to send him a video of them singing the word "moon" ... in the opening above, you can identify the faces of Quincy Jones, Coldplay, David Crosby, even his mum.

And then ... just see for yourself above. See/hear new colours. The final minute of his four key changes is electric. That last chord? Jeeze...

All the hundreds of individual tracks and images were done in Collier's music room in North London. Audio and video files, perfectly synched in a hellishly complex arrangement.


Johnny Mercer, Henry Mancini and Audrey Hepburn must hear something like this in the great beyond.

He plays two dozen instruments.
With loops, he can back-up  himself.
