GlumOFF's guest is Anna Vilenskaya, a musicologist, a person who dissects music, breaks melodies down into atoms and other components. Anna is the author and creator of the famous "Open Music Lecture Hall", and the topics of her lectures in Yerevan were music and propaganda, personality and creativity. We couldn't help but ask her about where it all begins, how music appeared, why it affects us so much and how metaphysical music is. "Music is an alternative emotional experience: it is something that allows a person to experience in sounds what he has already experienced in real life." Who is the coolest composer in the history of mankind according to Anna Vilenskaya? What could Bach do that all other composers can't? Is Komitas studied in Russian conservatories? About Iggy Pop, Michael Jackson, Konstantin Meladze, the singer Shaman and much more - in the new video of the GlumOFF show on Radio Van.
