Ben Bloomberg highlights Jacob Collier's ability to handle unexpected technical issues during performances, making them sound musical and keeping the audience engaged.
I think that’s really important, and what’s so special about Jacob is – you know, for all that the technology does, we really do have a lot of – we really do have a lot of wiggle room because Jacob on stage can make just about anything, you know, feel amazing, and so – you know, there have been some pretty ridiculous sort of – I won’t call them failures, but moments where things didn’t quite go as expected. And if were anybody else, it would – you know, it would have been sort of a train wreck, and Jacob is able to take, you know, even the craziest things. I think like one time in Germany, all the loopers started speeding up and going up in pitch because one of the video operators pushed the wrong button at the wrong time. And like nobody else can handle that stuff, but Jacob can make that sound musical and you know keep the audience having a good time. So, I think in that respect we were sort of really uniquely positioned to try out some pretty risk stuff. You know, he kind of makes it possible.
