Checking In with Zarina Rossheart & Laima Leyton

Legendary Primal Scream producer, remixer and DJ, the late Andrew Weatherall, joined physicist and professor, Dr. Mark Richards, and journalist, Joe Muggs, for a trippy discussion on music and the mind last July. Exploring what actually happens to the body and the brain when we hear music and the science behind the emotion. Is there a subconscious hunt for a certain sound? How do physical vibrations and soundwaves react with human frequencies? How do dancefloor dynamics impact our musical experiences?

This panel was recorded live the Library Lounge at The Standard, London on July 17th, 2019.The Lens Tapes: Colin Dodgson
