"We are controlling tension and release, the feeling of closing and opening, of density and sparsity. The whole of harmony is built out of things that you already know intuitively."

In this live podcast, Switched On Pop’s Charlie Harding brought seven-time Grammy winner Jacob Collier a series of musical questions: how to reharmonize a song everyone knows so it feels completely different; how to be a good collaborator; how to take risks; how to subvert expectation; how to access the emotional palette that chordal language has to offer.

The result is a rare window into how one of the most inventive musicians alive thinks and feels, and a chance for you - the audience - to become part of the music itself.
