Jacob Collier Instagram – December 7th, 2022. Sydney, Australia. A defining moment for Djesse Vol. 4. Moments before I went on stage for this show, in the dressing room, I had an idea for the opening of the album – a mighty polyphonic gliding of notes towards a D major chord, sung by an audience choir. I’d never tried anything like this before, but I wanted to give it a shot: I asked everybody in the audience to sing two notes. The first was any note in D major. The second was a note far away from the first note. I then asked everybody to glide their second note to their first – transitioning from a wild clustery mess to a fierce D major joy blast – thus inducing the biggest goosebumps of my life. This exact moment (recorded with microphones all over the venue) opens Djesse Vol. 4 – about a minute into “100,000 Voices”. It also closes the album – five minutes into “Box Of Stars Pt. 2”. It’s a moment I’ll never forget. Thank you Sydney!!!!! Enmore Theatre
