Experience a radical paradigm shift that changes the way you think and feel about art and music.

We chat about context and use a little experiential storytelling to make a point about how context creates a paradigm shift that can unlock art and music in new ways.

Have you looked at modern art and thought 'a six year old could've done that!'?

We chat about that scenario, about artists intent and about context that changes everything.

Have you ever heard a story about an album or received new information about a record that changed the way you thought and felt about that piece of music?

We also chat about that scenario.

Context is king in unlocking art and music.  It's endlessly fascinating!

Nostalgia.  The sentimental longing or the wistful affection for a period in the past. 

When everything old is new again.

Have you noticed cassette tapes are back?

Have you noticed bands are touring album anniversaries?

Have you watched any of the myriad documentaries spruiking the glory days of yore?

Nostalgia is powerful and wonderful and alluring, something marketers are fully aware of.

In this chat we debate the pros and cons of the recent wave of nostalgia, we cover off a recent jaunt to an incredible anniversary album show and we dive into what makes us nostalgic.

Have you noticed there's a terrifying abundance of music out there?

A. Terrifying. Abundance.

How do you find new music? 

How does new music find you?

The choice can be both overwhelming and paralysing.

Join in on this week's challenge.  It's a simple one: go out and find new music that you love.

We gave ourselves a week to do this.  The only rule was we could not ask each other!  We dived in and fully experienced the process of searching for something new and interesting to listen to. 

Our chat revolves around the obstacles and observations involved in navigating this challenge.  

We definitely discuss curation in both art and music and how critical curation is now more than ever.

Where do you find new music?  Who or what are the trusted sources?  Can Artificial Intelligence play a role? Is the algorithm a trusted source?

In the life of a music obsessive there are unwritten responsibilities.

There are albums that at some point in your life you must listen to.

In particular, when you are faced with a wrong, you must take all necessary steps to right it.

In this semi-regular series we call Confession Booth, we publicly confess our wrongs and take corrective action.  We present this subsequent recorded chat as our penance.

Let it be known that Adrian, and his comrade Leon, had previously never listened to either:

the 1985 album by Kate Bush called ‘Hounds of Love’

OR

the 1960 album by Miles Davis called ‘Sketches of Spain’.

In this chat we record our initial reactions and discuss our thoughts and feelings on these two universally acclaimed albums.

This is part two of Adrian's therapy program where we go from saxophone aversion to saxophone acceptance to possibly saxophone love. 

We've called in a bona fide sax expert Kirk Hamilton for a second opinion.  Kirk is an expert on not only the sax but contemporary music as a whole, and is the host of the great music podcast Strong Songs. 

We were extremely excited to be chatting with the host of Strong Songs, a podcast that is not only incredibly and impeccably made, but also has the capacity to not only introduce the listener to previously overlooked music, but also to open up facets of music that you have listened to for an incredibly long time. 

Dive deep into the wonderful world of the saxophone as Kirk breaks it wide open for us, playing live examples of incredible sax as well as beautiful, wonderful tangents that will hold you captivated.

Have you ever invented a game? 

We chat with the very creative, super innovative and absolutely fascinating Eran Thomson, creator of Song Saga: the #1 music and memory game that rocks! In a moment of inspiration, Eran created the game, developed it and took it to market. He walks us through the process from idea to product and fronting up to game fairs to pitch Song Saga to distributors. He chats about early market tests on unsuspecting friends and beautiful ‘aha’ moments when the game takes off. 

And then the best bit..... we play the game! Play is simple: Pull cards. Choose songs. Share memories. Best song + story wins. No singing required, just a music app. Get ready to break into the memory bank, learn new things about your friends, and reconnect with the music you love.

Why is Adrian so averted to the sound of the saxophone? Not the sound of sax in jazz or an orchestra, but when he hears sax as part of a rock band, Adrian cringes.

As a former saxophonist, Leon takes on the role of sax therapist and attempts to help Adrian overcome these feelings of disgust.

Will they make a breakthrough?  Will they be able to reclaim the saxophone's place in modern music?
