Episode 126 - Corollaries by Lubomyr Melnyk (Side A)

<p class="" data-pm-slice="0 0 []">OH GOOD LORD IT’S ANOTHER TWO PARTER. Maybe we should get better at planning these things…</p> <p class="">Anyway. Chris has been chomping at the bit to do this Lubomyr Melnyk album for a while. In fact, some may even remember that he brought it up during our Pandemic Mixtape. Well, the time has come to finally tackle this post-classical/minimalist work and in doing so we absolutely had to cover his…interesting thoughts on musical philosophy. Which cascades into his questionable thoughts on the actual <em>science</em> of how sound works. Which takes us down a big old rabbit hole, as I’m sure you can imagine.</p> <p class="">All of this to say that it takes us a while to get to the album as a result. Also, the dude’s done like 20+ albums (although we don’t cover all of them) so that’s another whole thing we had to deal with.</p> <p class="">We also talk about continuous music (the genre he reckons he’s in…of which he is the only practitioner), his incredible piano playing speed and a bunch more things.</p> <p class="">We’ll chat about Corollaries next week. Also, apologies for the bad sound on Mark’s part this week.. Technical error as resulted in proper potato quality sound.</p>
