From WNYC New York Public Radio, and NPR, KGSM presents RadioLab. A series on science and culture.

Tonight on Radio Lab: what is music? How does it work? Why does it move us? Why are some people better at it than others? We examine the line between language and music, how the brain processes sound, and we meet a composer who uses computers to capture the musical DNA of dead composers in order to create new work. We also re-imagine the disastrous 1913 debut of Stravinsky s Rite of Spring through the lens of modern neurology.
