Episode 01: What Is Music?

Update: 2017-02-16

Description

What is music? How would you define it? Does it defy definition?

In this episode we try to get answers to those questions from from a pioneer in music cognition research, a musicologist, and an otolaryngologist who surgically restores hearing and studies the brain basis of musical improvisation.
