From vulture bone flutes to ‘organised sound’— Andrew Ford's short history of music
Music has been around for at least as long as humans, and possibly even longer. How have forces like religion, the economy, society and technology, shaped music over time? And why, in lullabies and concert halls, songlines and streaming services, have humans always been irresistibly drawn to making it? This event was recorded at Sydney's Gleebooks. Speakers Andrew Ford Host, The Music Show, ABC Radio National Author, The Shortest History of Music, and more Award-winning composer Kirsty McCahon (host) Double bassist Strategic Relations Manager, Sydney Conservatorium of Music
