Jacob Collier collaborated with Ben on the album Djesse Vol. 3, learning new perspectives on sound and music production.
And Ben and I did a lot of sort of sonic sculpting and mixing on this album, and more than ever, I’ve learned from Ben the value of listening to sounds from a very different perspective than I’m used to, because when I listen to a sound, I hear it as music, and a piece of musical information, which is not the perspective that always makes sense. For example, in the mastering process or the mixing process, or the spatializing process, or whatever it happens to be. And so Ben has been able to lend me his perspective, you know, one of many, many perspectives that I’ve learned from, about how it’s possible to experience something in a new way, which changes the way that I look at something, which is really valuable.
