The Philosophy, Music, and Politics Podcast E.W. Rap

Hey guys, this is a midi recording of a polyphonic composition I made back in August, and I felt like releasing it before the end of the year. It's mainly experimentation, and I'm experience with compositions of this nature but maybe I'll make more! Hope you enjoy. - E

In this episode, I talk about what I think is one of the funniest passages the famous ancient Greek philosopher Plato's Republic, and it's on the role of the musician in society. (Credit to Librivox for the free public domain recording.)

I just wanted to record this quick episode in honor of Michael Brooks, who was a very influential political voice for me. It was really sad to hear of his unexpected passing on monday, and even more so by knowing how much grief his absence will bring to those who knew him best. R.I.P. Michael Brooks. :(

Hey guys! In this episode I'm honored to welcome social justice activist and rapper AWKWORD, a co-creator of the "Ten Demands for Justice: The Road to Abolition" movement, (which can be found at www.tenforjustice.com). The movement is aimed in the short term at achieving police accountability, and in the long-term at defunding and abolishing the police in the U.S. We have an engaging discussion about his movement.

Just a little message for those who listened to me appear on the Vigilantes Radio Podcast about my ideas for future episodes of the podcast.

Hey guys, in this episode I show the audio of a performance of Black Sabbath's song "War Pigs," done by the band I'm currently in called "Stereoblind;" we are based in Montreal. The song has a strong anti-war message, and is also very fun to play. Apologies if the audio is not phenomenal, it was derived from the video. (Recorded Oct 2019).
