Music is not only a powerful art form that can make you move your body, stop to think, or vent your emotions. It is also a complex and intricate language through which we, as humans, can communicate on a level sometimes beyond words. While this experience is often one that occurs on an instinctive level, there are ways in which we can learn to recognize and explore layers of nuance within the sounds around us that can add to the experience.
More importantly, an informed listener can often find aspects within types of musics they would not ordinarily be drawn to that can offer value despite the initial impressions we so often base all decisions upon. As a musician myself, I enjoy delving into more obscure areas of the art, and have come to appreciate much I had not before. In this episode, we seek to bring forward forgotten levels of listening in a time when popular music leaves little or no space for them. With luck, this will give us the chance to seek beyond the surface levels of a sound to find value beneath. If nothing else, however, it is hoped that the discussion will offer up suggestions for how others can find value in ways you may not expect… giving credit and recognition to those within a genre striving to connect with the listeners, whoever they be.
