BONUS: Chocolate Music

This is a practice of... anticipation. At a live concert put on by WSKG's Sam Goodyear, the audience was encouraged to smell a big bowl of Hershey Kisses but they could not indulge until the end of the performance. Just as we anticipate the end of a piece of music, the audience anticipated eating the chocolate.

Singing to Freedom: Slave Songs and the Underground Railroad

Many of us know and love traditional spirituals like Swing Low, Sweet Chariot or Wade in the Water. But a lesser known aspect is that many of these songs served as coded messages for the Underground Railroad. We’ll explore the connection between slavery and the songs that slaves sang on their way to freedom. (Producer: Crystal Sarakas)

Found Sound

Traditional instruments are not necessary to make music! In this episode: an orchestra who plays vegetables, a professor who builds instruments using found objects, and a pioneer of early electronic music, Delia Derbyshire, who would record a seemingly simple sound and then manipulate that tape to create complex music. Plus, WSKG staffers compose a song, but their only instruments are things they can find on their desks! (Produced by Sarah Gager)
