Western Tonality in English Imperialism

Hi! I love this show and both of your YouTube channels. I was wondering if you have any resources that would offer more information on western tonality’s role in European imperialism. I assume Rameau’s work played a role, but beyond that I’m lost on where to look. Let me know! Thanks.

Okay

All the concepts are worth exploring here, I just wish that they’d expand the discussion beyond classic rock. Soul/funk/rnb/hiphop is only occasionally mentioned tangentially, but they never actually dedicate time to those topics other than to acknowledge their existence.

No music/audio examples makes this podcast worse than its competition

Strong Songs, Song Exploder, Switched on Pop, Tape Notes are all far superior to this podcast because the hosts of Ghost Notes (either out or laziness or gate-keeping) fail to provide musical examples of the songs or musical concepts they’re talking about. What’s the point of a music podcast without any music to illustrate their points? It makes the podcast inaccessible to most prospective listeners. I hope that the hosts read this review and re-think their format.
