The Theory Behind It! A podcast for musical conversations with Adam, Livi, and Seth.
This is a heavy one. Building off our conversation with The Score last episode, we dig into Dr. Phillip Ewell's writing on music theory's white racial frame, how it applies to us, and some things we can do to help. We talk about the problems with Schenkerian analysis and break down the academic drama of the JSS from last summer, as well as some recent social media interactions. It's a serious conversation about issues facing the field today and where we can go from here.
