Modern Musicology #125 – The Science of Music

ESO Network Archives - The ESO Network

The Science of Music

This week we chat with author and science blogger Bethany Brookshire who shares her knowledge about how music works, its importance to community, and its impact on culture. We address questions like: How do our brains process music? How do vocal cords work? Why do we perceive dissonance differently? Why are some cultures thought of as more musical than others? How do tone deafness and rhythm deafness relate to each other? And the importance of music education. It turned out to be one of the most fascinating discussions we’ve ever had.

After that, we do our Picks of the Week and talk about new releases like the new Cure album, the Tears for Fears concert film, country artist Elizabeth Cook, the new documentary about composer John Williams, a concert by the Jayhawks, and more!
