We decided to launch this project, consisting of a podcast series and website, as a way to discuss music from new and rapidly evolving perspectives. In particular, we want to be able to have, as well as create a space for, more open-minded, inclusive, and engaging, discussions about music and its role in our lives, both historically and in the present day.

We want to explore how people listen to music; how they experience it. We also want to delve into the roles of performers, composers, analysts, and audiences, with an initial focus on Western Art/classical music, since this repertoire is our area of expertise, but also incorporating non-Western cultural perspectives through interviews with experts in these fields, as well as discussions on popular music.

We want to share the beauty of music making, how it happens, and to demonstrate the interconnectedness of all its parts (both human and musical): from those who compose it, to those to perform it, study it, analyze it, listen to it, have it on in the background.
