This podcast focuses on listening deeply to the sounds all around us, but specifically to the relationship between music, language, and meaning. I explore the relationship between the structures of language and how they impart meaning, and the structures of music and the meaning implicit in them, as well as the junction of the two in the tonal qualities of the spoken word. Where is the emotion present in a sentence, or a specific sequence of notes and rhythms? Please enjoy this listening experience with a willingness to go where the words suggest and the music takes you. Thank you for listening.
