Episode 462: Worth a Thousand Words

Long gone are the days of buying camera film and developing prints before seeing and sharing our images. Now, most of us have a high-quality camera in our pocket that delivers instant viewing and sharing gratification. A picture, made up of complex ideas or emotions, is far more effective conveying its essence than a tome describing its content. The same can be said for music.

This episode of Wind & Rhythm explores the expressive relationship between visual and musical imagery.
