In our season two finale episode, we explore syncopation, one of the most playful elements of rhythm. There are specific syncopation patterns that link music across a remarkable variety of cultures and genres – almost like a shared heartbeat or fingerprint. We’ll find the “off” beat in everything from marching band to Broadway musicals, Ragtime, pop, Son, samba, and more.
Music has been used as tool of resistance efforts across the history, from the American Revolution to the anti-communist movement to #MeToo. In this episode, we examine the musical connections of these varying causes across multiple genres, including classical, hip-hop, folk, indie, and pop. We also speak with a leader in contemporary resistance music, Stephen Brackett, aka "Brer Rabbit," aka the front-man for the hit ban...
Jazz might be the musical genre that people think of the most when they hear the word improvisation, but it’s not just jazz musicians that make up things on the spot. In this episode, we unpack various styles of improvisation, from rap to Baroque opera to jazz. Plus, we interview jazz composer and instrumentalist Kyle Saulnier, who explains what goes on inside his head when he’s improvising and gives tips on how beginners can appro...
Even though heavy metal and classical music might look different on the outside, they are made of very similar stuff on the inside. In this episode we unpack the elements that define heavy metal and show you how easily they crossover into Classical music. Take a listen… and don’t be afraid to bang your head the next time you listen to a violinist shredding a cadenza!
What makes Dave Brubeck's "Unsquare Dance" so "un"-square? In this episode we dive into music that uses uneven meter. The effect can be unsettling, groovy, enlightening... or all of the above! Plus we are joined by Chris Brubeck, part of the legendary Brubeck family, and expert on funky meter in music.
Just like visual art, music is often described as having certain colors, but unlike visual arts, we don’t have an agreed upon vocabulary to describe them. In music we call those colors timbre [TAM-BER]. Timbre is one of the more elusive and intangible elements of music to describe, but we are feeling fearless, so join us for an episode that includes opera, tuvan throat-singing, bluegrass, classical, Kanye West, Cher and T-Pain.
Transcendence is sometimes defined as “collapsing the boundaries between the spiritual world and the human world through some sort of experience.” Listen to music that is used by people of different cultures and faiths around the world to connect with their spiritual practices, from Pink Floyd to Tromba to John Coltrane to the "mystic chord."
Cognitive neuroscientists have argued that the most common scales used around the world are actually so similar to human speech patterns that our ears are drawn to them naturally and can recognize different scale patterns as easily as we recognize words. Scales connect everything from Michael Jackson to Gregorian Chant... and link music from India to Indonesia to Indiana.
This season, we not only show you how to get more out of the music you love, but help you discover more music to love based on the music you already know.
Season two was produced in partnership with Sacred Heart University.
Are you drawn to a song’s music or lyrics first? On this episode we’re looking at the relationship between text and music, and why they’re so powerful together. Musicians have been combining music and text for a long time...find out why and how different songwriters approach combining the two.
On this episode, we’ll solve the greatest mystery of ALL time... What’s the true difference between pop and classical music?To do this, we’re going to look further into the biggest breakup of all time – that of Adele and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Maybe we guess should be more specific. We're talking about the big breakup between classical and pop music. How did one style, pop music (aka Adele) started out intertwined in a relat...
