Jul 2: For the Record - Part 2

I've mentioned this web series before. It's produced by the Cosmic Shambles Network, and presented by Charlotte Ritchie. 

It promises to tell the history of music. Early reviews have been very positive. 

I'll post links to the episodes here to increase exposure.

In part two we explore the mathematics that underpins musical structure and how that differs from culture to culture. We take a piano lesson and then try to make sense of why we humans like music so much in the first place.  Part Two includes exclusive interviews, rare archive and performances from Charlotte Church, Nitin Sawhney, Donald Harrison Jr, Dean Burnett, Philip Ball, Jess Hitchcock, Grace Petrie, Matt Parker, Jim Bob, Ruarri Joseph, Mick Jagger and more. 

This series is an entirely independent production made possible by fan support on Patreon and Substack. 

Episode 2 is here:


Episode 3 coming up next 

I will post a review of the series when I've had the chance to watch and also add links to the episodes.
