Ep. 5 - James Noyes: Unraveling Debussy, Poe, and Elise Hall

All great artists take inspiration from their predecessors. Whether that is in visual arts, literature, or music, by studying the techniques of great figures of the past, one can gain knowledge that may be essential to their own work. Today's guest, Dr. James Noyes, is no exception.  As a lifelong researcher of Claude Debussy's works as well as a composer, Dr. Noyes has gained a comprehensive picture of the French composer's techniques and philosophy. He's been able to apply what he's learned to amplify his own compositions. Today, we dive into Dr. Noyes' fascinating research, especially his work on Debussy's Rhapsodie for saxophone and orchestra and saxophonist Elise Hall. We then discover Debussy's shocking connection to famous writer Edgar Allan Poe, and how their philosophies played a role in two of Dr. Noyes' newest songs, "Embracing Love" and "This Christmastime". Finally, we listen to these two songs in their entirety, armed with the knowledge of Poe and Debussy!

Ep. 2 - Wesley Thompson: Blurring the Boundaries Between Genres

Think about your favorite song. What type of music is it? Pop? Rock? Maybe rap? Regardless of your answer to this question, most songs and pieces can easily be categorized into these types of music called "genres". Even within classical music, it is usually easy to distinguish between works from different eras.  Innovative composer Wesley Thompson challenges this hard-set categorization of music. As a connoisseur of many different music genres - whether it's rock, video game music, heavy metal, or Bach - Wesley incorporates influences from a diverse population of songs and pieces that gives his music a unique, irresistible flavor. Join us as we discuss the intricacies of how this amazing composer came to be!

Ep. 1 - Eli Greenhoe: A Microtonal Master

For centuries, composers and musicians have adhered to the limitations of equal temperament, a tuning system that defines the 12 tones we’re most familiar with. Almost every melody and song you've heard likely uses this system. But in reality, an infinite number of pitches exist between any two notes—pitches we rarely think to use. These microtones surround us constantly, present in everything we hear, each sound carrying its own distinct pitch. So why restrict ourselves to just 12 tones?  Eli Greenhoe is one of the few contemporary composers breaking free from this mold and embracing the richness of microtones. His music draws us closer to the natural world, revealing the beauty in everyday sounds. In this fascinating conversation, we explore Eli's introduction to composition and take a deep dive into one of his most representative works. Episode 1 promises to broaden your musical horizons through the innovative creations of Eli Greenhoe!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
