    TTBI Meets Dan Elphick (Cult of Musicology)

    TTBI Meets Dan Elphick (Cult of Musicology)

    This week we are thrilled to share our conversation with musicologist Dr. Daniel Elphick. Dan is a faculty member at Royal Holloway, University of London, as well as the man behind the Cult of Musicology Youtube channel. Check out our discussion about his research, writing in music theory, and the distinctions between analysis and musicology.
    (We had some minor internet hiccups during this recording, mostly on Adam's end. Some slight glitches and distortion, apologies all around.)

    TTBI Meets DJ A.D.

    TTBI Meets DJ A.D.

    Oh hey, we're not dead!
    TTBI is back with a brand new season of music theory and theory adjacent content (oftentimes very adjacent). Back in July, we had the chance to interview Memphis' own DJ A.D. We spoke with A.D. about the musical skills a DJ needs to possess, the worst wedding DJ ever, and how to melt faces with a killer mix.
    Check back next week for another episode, with another special guest!
    (Excuse the scuffed audio on this one, Zoom records can be a coinflip.)
