Vinay Kolhatkar interviews Roger Bissell. The discussion includes whether music is like the narrative arts or goes “direct to the emotions” as Rand said, the definitions of art, music, rhythm, melody, and harmony, and whether we are hardwired for music. Also includes references to Julian Jaynes’s perspective on music.
