Dastan-e Mousighi | داستان موسیقی
مشهور است که موسیقی زبانی همگانی است اما الفبای این زبان برای همه آشنا نیست. گویی فقط نوازندگان و آهنگسازان این زبان را می‌فهمند و برای بقیه‌ی مردم نت‌های ﻣﻮﺳﻴﻘﯽ تنها ﻣﺠﻤﻮﻋﻪﺍﯼ اﺯ ﻧﻘﺎط ﺳﻴﺎه و ﺳﻔﯿﺪ است ﮐﻪ رﻭﯼ ﺧﻂهای ﻣﻮازﯼ ﭼﯿﺪه ﺷﺪه است. ﺩاﻧﺴﺘﻦ معنای اﯾﻦ ﻧﻘﺎﻁ ﺳﯿﺎه و ﺳﻔﻴﺪ تنها راه آشنایی با زبان موسیقی نیست. ﮔﻮﺵ ﺩادن هم ﻣﯽﺗﻮاند ما را به این دنیا وارد کند. در این مجموعه نگاه گذرایی خواهیم کرد به دوره‌های مختلف موسیقی از قرون وسطی تا امروز؛ ویژگی‌های کلی هر دوره را بررسی می‌کنیم و با شنیدن یکی دو اثر از هر دوره اشاره‌ای به عناصر موسیقایی آنها خواهیم کرد.
Ghost Echoes
Ghost Echoes is a music history podcast with secret rules. It begins in 1970 and it will proceed up to the present day, discussing one musical recording per episode. Some of them are famous and acclaimed, others utterly obscure. Some are classical, most are pop. The list of recordings that Ghost Echoes will focus on throughout its run is already decided and set in stone, having been chosen in accordance with the podcast’s non-negotiable rules, of which there are three: 1. REDACTED, 2. REDACTED, and 3. The first two rules are secret.
These rules lead Ghost Echoes down countless historical side streets and blind alleys where it departs from music entirely and passes by Victorian booze palaces, angry Ontarian proletariats, inscrutable paintings about the space race, demolished movie theatres, drunk people, exceedingly large oval rugs, unlikely origin stories of venerable educational institutions, Charlie Brown cartoons, and conspiracy theories about extrajudicial assassinations by MI5.
Ghost Echoes is the story of music — and everything else
