Jacob Collier - The Methods of Making Music

Lightning Bugs: Conversations with Ben Folds

Today’s guest is Multi-Instrumentalist and Vocalist, Jacob Collier! You’ll recognize him from tracks such as “All I Need,” “The Sun In Your Eyes,” and “In Too Deep.” His music spans across several styles and genres as Jacob looks for new and interesting ways to create. On this episode we talk about how digital instruments have changed how we make music, how physical instruments can have the most impact, and how sometimes the best instrument is the one you can execute from idea to concept in the least amount of time. We also talk about how the piano only has so many notes and how to capture the creative spark and feed it into something larger.
