“So, what is music? Organized sound, maybe. It’s a way of organizing the chaos of sound into something that involves structure and time. Some people think that music was there before speech, so that the original function of music was an emotional communication system.”
In the interest of exploring what is the vital function of music, Brooklyn filmmaker Mac Demo spoke with composer and Radiolab host Jad Abumrad. That conversation was turned into a short film that was good enough to be showcased by streaming platform Vimeo . Watch it below.
