This episode starts with a question:“What have you been listening to lately?”Five minutes later, Adam and Heyni are digging into waltzes: why some musicians avoid them, why guitarists favor them, and why a good vals can be just as interesting as a tango.

Adam and Heyni talk about:✨ How composers think (messy, obsessive, rhythmic)✨ Guitars behaving and misbehaving✨ A Nelly Omar detour no one saw coming

They talk tension, sweetness, breath, pendulums, phrasing, folklore, and why some genres pull you in without asking permission.
