Sometimes Behaves So Strangely

Here’s a link, courtesy of Crooked Timber, to a quite amazing radio broadcast dealing with the connection between language and music. There’s an interview with Diana Deutsch, a psychologist who deals with the psychology of music. I love the way the makers of the radio broadcast play with the interviews to create a soundscape that has a beauty of its own. Terrific stuff. And I have to say, it brought it back to me that for things like this, I really prefer listening to radio than to watch TV. No irrelevant flashy images – just the sparking of one’s own imagination.
