Streaming, Silence, and the Summer of the iPod
from Music on the Move · host Savannah Fortis
What happens when music becomes noise and silence a scarcity? In this episode of Music on the Move we find out — and in a more unusual way. We’re stripping down my listening habits, cancelling subscriptions and returning to a non-connected, highly selective way of life. In other words: I’m using an iPod again and have been for the last four months. It’s been great and helped me retone my listening muscle. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed with the machine that is now music streaming, if the algorithm is dominating your choices, if you’re feeling like you want to hear the world again – don’t worry, Music on the Move is here to help in full solidarity. Join us as we explore how sound and music and silence are yours to choose and build your own world out of. Let’s go!
