What makes music sound the way it does? Why do we feel happy when we listen to this song, or want to dance in a certain way to this piece? What effect does this key, this beat, this chord progression have on the song? What did the artist do to make a song sound the way it does? In this podcast, I explore various concepts in music theory, history and such and how they influence the music we listen to. From key signatures to chord progressions to basslines, I try to demystify how these concepts work and how they make their way into the music we listen to.
