In Part 2 Music as a Weapon:
How Allende was killed during Pinochet's coup.
I have the original sounds.
How Patricio made a composition of these sounds.
How musicians in Chile think about Patrick and his music.
And his resistance, now, so many years later.
The podcast & animation series Music as a Weapon, narrates about musicians that had to flee their country because of their music. We start in the first serie with the story of Patricio Wang, the composer. He had to leave Chile for the repressive Pinochet regime. And he went into exile in the Netherlands.
My podcasts tell about the lives of these musicians who have been persecuted. Through their stories, I want to investigate why repressive regimes are so afraid of music. Igor Stravinsksi once said that music expresses nothing but music. But reality is different, because, music does not seem innocent.
