Sound Field

[ivyfic]

Sound Field is another PBS Digital Studio channel. Hosts Nahre Sol and LA Buckner, both working musicians themselves, profile different types of music. They usually dive into the culture, and break down the structure and sound of the music. It’s a great channel for learning about music genres you may not have run into, or for helping to understand what elements make up a genre you have heard. This excellent video profiles modern ballroom music. (If you’re thinking the waltz—no. This is voguing and Pose.) Warning for a brief clip from the movie Trading Places that includes blackface—which they call out, but is important to the story they’re telling.
