2016-08-11 12:32:29 +0000 UTC View Postwoke up today my mind awhirl from head to toe with endless feeling
try to explain just what I see; you say to me I must be dreaming
you called my name the way I wished you would in my imagination
now every single thing around me filling me with this sensation
In my searching around I’ve seen so many faces
now I’ve found the one I needed and the sun is rising
I woke up today
Like I wanted

My dear Patrons,
It's been a gleaming roller-coaster adventure since last I wrote to you all, and coming home to my room from three weeks of touring, I thought it was time for an update from me to you!
First, my summer tour has almost come to an end! It is has been a giant learning experience for me, filled with an extraordinary amount of delight. To share music in so many new places was a treat and a giant privilege. So wonderful to meet a bunch of you Patrons in various plac...

Dear friends, what a crazy few days. So many unbelievable things underfoot!
First off, 'In My Room' has gone to #1 on the Jazz Charts in 22 countries! The amount of love from you all has blown me away. What a feeling, to have it out in the world :-)
Secondly, the summer tour of Europe is underway! I have just got back from Jazz TM in Romania, Jazz á Vienne in France, and Love Supreme in the UK – I have a day off today to catch up with everything. It has been wonderful to meet ...

Dearest Patrons!
I'm having my album launch party tomorrow (Wednesday, June 22nd) in Los Angeles at 8pm. The event is a private show, but I can hold spots for 20 wonderful Patrons if any of you can make it! The first 10 people to respond will be able to come with a guest.
Let me know if you can join the fun... would be MEGA seeing my Patrons there!

My dear Patrons, we did it!! By which I mean: YOU did it. We have exceeded the $15K goal for the album campaign. I am beyond words!
2016 – what a time to be creating stuff. We are making history! You are the fundamental reason I have the resources to keep moving and growing; that I can bring wacko things to life and will continue to be able to for many many years to come. What an indescribably amazing thing that is.
Thank you always. Loads more to come soon. What a crazy ride!<...

Also – the video is now out to the rest of the world! You may share far and wide as you please :-)
More soon – got some behind the scenes to show you.

My dear friends, I am stupendously excited to share this song with you!!!
Those of you who tuned in to my monthly hangout on Thursday know the basis of the setup for filming this – the whole thing was shot in one take, with 6 projectors and 4 dancers! It was a mighty and unforgettable adventure :-)
As usual, this video is unlisted right now – so please do NOT share this link with ANYBODY until tomorrow – don't even 'like' on YouTube! This is for patron-flavoured ears only u...

Hello wonderful people. So excited to share the 3rd single with you – coming in ONE HOUR or less :-)
In the meantime – here are the first 20 #IHarmU melodies, both raw and fully harmonised, on my YouTube channel! I cannot express how much joy these have brought me. Thank you so very much to all you wonderful people who have sent me things – there are many more still to come! Don't worry if you have sent me a melody and haven't seen it yet.

Uh oh. This is what my arrangement of the Flintstones looks like transformed into a midi file!
2016-05-12 19:20:35 +0000 UTC View Post
Here's the rather untidy plan I made before filming the Flintstones video a couple of weeks ago. As all the videos are single takes, I have to remember in advance which specific words to shout out at times where faces differ from each other – and also which subdivision of the beat to hit in the pyramid bits. In that wacko vocal crazy run at 0:46, for example, all the words "come meet the Flintstones they're the modern stone age fam'ly from the town" are sung, but only by one person at once, so...

Apologies for not getting this over to you sooner – here is a wav file for your delectation. I'm going to be sharing some behind the scenes stuff with you soon for this one!

Thank you so much to all the patrons who made it down to the patron-special EMW Bookstore in Boston for the premiere of the new album songs in one-man-show format! You guys ROCK. Footage to come!
Dear Patrons! I write to you from MIT, Boston, where I am nearing the end of a process of building an assortment of dangerous and wonderful new musical objects, in addition to transporting my completed album into a live-showable setting. I'll be sharing more details on all this with you all very soon.
On Tuesday, to mark the end of this building process, I have given myself a deadline and will be playing a very small gig at a bookstore here in Cambridge, Boston, for friends and Patrons onl...

Some of you guys have been asking about lyrics, so here goes:

anywhere you want to go

In the meantime, I have attached the three I-Harm-U videos that I have released so far. Thank you so much to David Lynn Grimes, Hanna Barsznica and Stephan Diethelm! More to come over the next few days : )

I will be spending the next few days harmonising every single melody, and will be posting them on my instagram (@JCollierMusic) and Facebook (/JCollierMusic) pages intermittently over the next month or so.
The special offer has now expired, but it is still possible to submit you...
