Muziek als Wapen

In Part 4 - GUILTY PLACE

The Rubber Duck & the Esmeralda in Valparaiso

The podcast & animation series 'Music as a Weapon', narrates about musicians that had to flee their country because of their music. We start with Patricio Wang, the composer. He had to leave Chile for the repressive Pinochet regime. And he went into exile in the Netherlands.

My podcasts tell about the lives of these musicians who have been persecuted. Through their stories, I want to investigate why repressive regimes are so afraid of music.

Igor Stravinsksi once said that music expresses nothing but music. But reality is different, because, music does not seem to be innocent.
