Harmonizer.. and probably a ton of other stuff. The guy is a freakin workaholic LOL

I think it's a custom one, coded in MAX..

In fact the "harmonizer" somehow limits his ability to harmonize a piece with his musical knowledge/approach (his words in an interview..), but obviously adds an interesting sonic component, esp. for live performances.

 

WTF....NEGATIVE HARMONY?

"In 2014, Collier began working with MIT’s Ben Bloomberg (a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab) who helped transform Collier’s video productions into live one-man-show performances. Bloomberg also designed and created a custom unique Vocal Harmonizer, which has provided Collier a vehicle to simultaneously combine his vocal and keyboard talents live."
"Bloomberg helped Collier develop a vocal harmonizer that could create 12-note harmonies instantly."

"We decided to make one that’s capable of many voices and has all the sounds we like in one box. It was a process of refinement of existing ideas, more than a conception of new one, I guess. Ours has some nifty features like three infinite sustains, special sub-bass treatment, pitch shifts, sparkly effects, etc."

His rhythm concepts are very interesting too.

 

Bon Iver uses a similar technique, no?

I'm curious to know more too

 

Negative Harmony explained:

Negative Happy Birthday sounds very interesting!

 

sounds just like this:

 

Hey guys, just found out about this video and remind me of this thread. We actually have the hardware to do the job. Looking back at the videos on post #2 and #3, I think that's the thing he used. But I maybe wrong.

There's many version of it, maybe take a look at developer site for more info. Maybe there's other developers too. The search keyword is "Vocal processors".

 

Coincidentally, this, which does some justice to Imogen's original ;) :

Jacob is a musical savant. Godlike.

 

100% agree.
he starts this song at A = 432 at some point it jumps to 440.

Fm6 as a 'negative' to G7 when moving to C is a very interesting concept.
