Collect Experiences. Not Things. :')

Jacob Collier in a nutshell:

• The Genius: Highly praised for his absurd musical intelligence, deep harmonic theory, and ability to master almost any instrument he touches.

• The Boundary Pusher: Redefining modern harmony, microtonal experiments, and interactive live performances like no one else.
• The Diagnosis: Self-diagnosed with "creative infinity syndrome" (a playful term he coined himself, not a medical condition—though it fits).
• The Critique: Critics argue his hyper-complex arrangements lean too hard into technical showmanship and musical overkill, sacrificing emotional connection for academic flexing.

Brilliant innovation or over-engineered noise? Where do you stand?
