Multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier takes us on a rhythmic adventure from Steve Reich to Maurice Ravel via Morocco, Brazil and Peru.

Multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier takes us on a rhythmic adventure from Reich to Ravel via Morocco, Brazil and Peru, revealing surprising parallels across an eclectic range of music. Jacob explores how our listening experience can be changed through varying the way in which we perceive beat and how some musicians and composers have disrupted and reinvented our understanding of rhythm.

Jacob Collier is a critically acclaimed and award-winning composer, arranger, producer and performer. The last seven years have seen the 24-year-old evolve from bedroom musician to a celebrity with a global following. Since his much-lauded 2018 Proms performance, Jacob has been working on a four-volume recording project called Djesse, which features contributions from a global cast of his musical inspirations.
