The Music Machine: The Art of Simplicity: 1

on BBC Radio 3

In this age of technology and computers, how important is the idea of simplicity in music? Can musicians be taught to play and compose simply or is it a gift? And what does simplicity actually mean? Stuart Maconie sets out to look at all genres of music and to find out whether the space between the notes can be as important as the notes themselves.
