Josh Cohen joins Verity Sharp to discuss how music can help us tune in to a slower rhythm.

Psychoanalyst Josh Cohen joins Verity Sharp to discuss how music can help us tune in to a slower rhythm. Plus the sound of metal objects and reflections on the anthropocene.

Have we lost the art of doing nothing? We live in a world that reveres the busy and productive, but what about the daydreamers and the dropouts? While many of us are forced to redraw our daily routines, we pause to ask how music can help us discover a different internal rhythm and question how we think about purpose.  The writer and psychoanalyst Josh Cohen joins us to discuss the importance of music that slackens the pace, attuning us to slower, more drifting states of mind -  boredom, weariness, ‘infinite languor’ and pure consciousness.

Elsewhere we float down stream with Australian composer Tilman Robinson’s sonic reflections on the anthropocene, a new release from Russian artist Kate NV and the sound of metallic objects pulled into focus by Electric Indigo, founder of female: pressure, an international platform for female, transgender and non-binary artists involved in electronic music.

Produced by Alannah Chance.
