The Sound Worlds of Grime OxPods
-
- Courses
For such a popular genre of music, Grime is too often ignored in academic musicology. When it is studied, it is often the words rather than the music itself that receives the most attention, ignoring the wealth of sound worlds and production styles that have a crucial role in defining the world's perception of both the genre and the community of artists and fans.
In this episode, Florence Allen, 3rd Year Music undergraduate at Univ, speaks to DPhil John O'Reilly about his thesis examining how the sound of Grime has developed, and its effect on the world around it.
Looking to make the most of Oxford’s world-leading professors, we decided to set up a platform to interview these academics on the niche, weird, and wonderful from their subjects. We aim to create thought-provoking and easily digestible podcast episodes, made for anyone with an interest in the world around them, and to facilitate university access and outreach for students aspiring to Oxford or Cambridge.
