Jacob Collier is a legit next level musician. He does a lot of overdubbing of himself but he does other styles also. His recordings like Moon River and Flintstones are incredible both in terms of arrangement and performance. In a very different style, his Piano Ballads record is great, Let it Be is great on that one.

Totally understand if none if it is your style!


Seconded, regarding his cover of 'Moon River'. The harmony in the final three minutes is out of this world.

Though I wouldn't recommend watching the music video. It's a bit corny and distracting.


If you’re in C major, the V chord is G7, which contains a tritone between its 3 and 7, B and F. You can say, what if instead of B being the 3 of the chord and F being the 7, F is the 3 and B is the 7? Then you discover that the root of this other chord is C# (or Db). Because the function of a chord is largely dictated by the 3 and 7 in it, this means you can substitute any dominant 7 chord with another dominant 7 chord a tritone away and it will still basically function the same (this can create some extra dissonance before the cadence which is nice and it creates some nice chromatic movement in the bass).


Thanks! What I was missing is that for "V chord" I was thinking G not G7, and G doesn't have a tritone.

(He did say "with the flat seven" which sounded like another chord entirely, but that just means seventh chord.)


I would be more than happy to give up almost everything if it would stop climate change, but unfortunately even if I make all those changes, everybody else will continue driving cars, so it seems my personal choices have nothing to do with whether global warming happens or not. The way around this is collective (government) action to guarantee everyone will participate, but for a variety of reasons we don't have the political will to make that happen. Besides, I'm not convinced individuals' actions are to blame for the majority of climate change -- I'm not an expert but I'm under the impression that corporate / industrial energy usage is the majority of the problem.


what is the purpose of "corporate / industrial" energy usage if not ultimately to serve the needs of a consumer at the end of the supply chain?


consumer's demand is indeed part of the problem, but the corporate/industrial's perpetual quest for growth is also part of it IMHO. if corporations are okay with not growing, planned obsolescence won't be a thing and we will also probably get less ads shoved on our face to trigger our impulse to buy.


Yes, the game industry is incredibly secretive. Any hint of any news from a game studio will make headlines, and studios want to control the marketing narrative, so part of the job is learning to keep those secrets.


I found the same video it looks like all those dangers are preventable? Don't do acrobatics at low altitude, don't fly over water, don't start the engine on the ground, don't buzz trees or other obstacles, don't get close to other paramotors in flight.

Let's take it one step farther, and have each second be 99.999% of a second from December 20 and June 20, and be 100.001% of a second from June 20 to December 20. Problem solved!
