Why I love talking about music (0:21)
One of the greatest things about art is that it’s contextual… it’s temporal.
Meaning that a particular album for example, could not only make different people feel different things, but could even make the same person feel different things, once the context surrounding their experience with the album changes.
This dynamic is why I love talking about music, and why I hope you the listener choose to tune in to this show almost every Wednesday of the year, The amount of perspectives and feelings one can have with a piece of music is endless.
It’s this concept of subjectivity and context-dependence that can make anyone’s relationship with any piece of music uniquely their own, and worthy of exploring. Uncovering the why behind not only the artist’s creative decisions, but the listener’s response to said piece of music as well, is why I find this space of music commentary so fascinating.
Therefore, in celebration of music and the discussion of beautiful art… I welcome you to the 3rd Annual RMPPs.
