Flavortone

Episode 16: Tasting Menu 2 (Stinky Edition)


Listen Later

Reprising the "flavor-phonic," "gastro-acoustic" discussion charted in Flavortone Episode 4: Tasting Menu 1 (Dégustation), Alec and Nick step into the kitchen once again in this second edition to the Tasting Menu series, as they articulate a concept of the Stinky. Considering a range of malodorous musical and culinary selections, this episode takes up the olfactory sense as reference for how perceptions of the repugnant vs. the delicious are embodied in nuanced discourses on cultural value. Topics include: steamed broccoli, ranch dressing, fish as well as the dubstep producer Stenchman, the Pulitzer Prize winning music of composer Caroline Shaw and the media/music theory antics of the barefoot wünderkind, Jacob Collier.

Opening mix: Caroline Shaw: Partita for Eight Singers, No. 1: Allemande, performed by Roomful of Teeth; Stenchman, 80Fitz.

Opening theme music: Xander Seren

Closing music: "Uh Oh Stinky but It's a Soft Lofi Beat" by LLusion, EGG
