This week's episode attempts to draw a rough picture of how a 'sound' becomes 'musical.' We trace sound's development within the musical context throughout history in an attempt to understand how we came to listen to sound in musical setting as we do today, and discuss some of the problems facing composers and audiences of musical performances.
