Show Notes
Legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog’s latest project is “Theater of Thought,” an ambitious exploration of the inner workings of the human brain.
Herzog turns his lens to neuroscience, delving into the complexities of thought and consciousness.
“Theater of Thought” will be screened Thursday, February 20, at the Callicoon Theatre.
And there’s a local connection: it was partially filmed in Cochecton, NY and features music from neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux's band, the Amygdaloids, adding a unique layer to its soundtrack.
With three of his songs featured in the film’s soundtrack, LeDoux and bandmate Colin Dempsey appeared on Radio Chatskill to discuss the alignment of music with the themes of the brain and human experience.
