Episode description

Legendary Primal Scream producer, remixer and DJ, the late Andrew Weatherall, joined physicist and professor, Dr. Mark Richards, and journalist, Joe Muggs, for a trippy discussion on music and the mind last July. Exploring what actually happens to the body and the brain when we hear music and the science behind the emotion. Is there a subconscious hunt for a certain sound? How do physical vibrations and soundwaves react with human frequencies? How do dancefloor dynamics impact our musical experiences? This experimental format sees sound designer Tom Gillieron create a live sound mix as the panel talks so expect distortions and reverberations as you listen. This panel was recorded live the Library Lounge at The Standard, London on July 17th, 2019.
