It was a performance that changed the course of my life forever. After the concert, I met Jason Max Ferdinand, their conductor, and vowed to one day write a piece for them to sing. Jason held me to that promise… And, fast-forward 5 years, I was beginning work on my Djesse album series, and felt this was the moment for such a piece to spring to life. I booked a recording session with Jason and the choir at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, and composed ‘World O World’ the day before I flew from London to the studio to meet them. The 12 hour session that commenced will forever be one of my life’s defining musical moments. We recorded this piece, among some other things - and I left a different person from when I walked in. That day was also the first time I’d ever conducted a group of singers, which is something I’ve gone on to do a great deal of since :-) WORLD O WORLD Composed by Jacob Collier Written for (and sung by) the Aeolians of Oakwood University Conducted by Jason Max Ferdinand Recorded at Ocean Way, Nashville, United States Recording Engineer: Ben Bloomberg Assistant Recording Engineer: Austin Atwood Mixed by Jacob Collier and Ben Bloomberg Produced by Jacob Collier Mastering Engineer: Emily Lazar Video shot by Ed Rode Video editing and additional score editing by June Lee Follow Jacob: @jacobcollier
