Jacob Collier’s LiveHarmU

 

Jacob Collier’s LiveHarmU 5-Hour Harmonisation Marathon

“Jacob Collier hosts a five-hour interactive live stream to raise funds for Earth Percent, an environmental charity co-founded by Brian Eno. Throughout the event, Collier uses his signature musical improvisation and complex vocal layering to harmonize short melodies submitted by fans from across the globe. To encourage donations, he incorporates various creative challenges, such as performing while blindfolded or changing outfits when certain financial milestones are met. The session highlights his spontaneous arrangement process as he builds rich, multi-track compositions in real-time using diverse instruments and digital tools. By the conclusion of the broadcast, Collier successfully harmonizes numerous submissions, including a piece by the artist Aurora, and raises over $15,000 for climate action. This document captures the unique intersection of musical education, audience participation, and global philanthropy.”
