In this episode of 'Listening in', I look at how Jacob Collier uses microtonality, pitch and temperament to add colour to his music. I do this by defining these terms, and then by looking at how he uses them in three different songs. This includes use of just intonation to tune notes differently in his arrangement of 'Fascinating Rhythm', using two different pitches (A = 432 vs A = 440) in 'Hideaway' to give the feeling of the song opening up as well as his use of a microtonal key (G quarter sharp major) in 'In the Bleak Midwinter'.
