#156 Samuel Andreyev: Innate and Acquired Aesthetic and Artistic Tastes
Samuel Andreyev is a Canadian music composer and writer residing in France. He also has a YouTube channel with his name.
This is my third interview with him, so please go check out the first two.
First interview, “Music Across Times and Cultures”: https://youtu.be/9UENs9ia6Zo
Second interview, “Philosophy of Music and Art”: https://youtu.be/HUiV4Hgw924
In this episode, we talk about aesthetic and artistic tastes and preferences, and their innate and acquired aspects. We also refer to the issues with trying to find patterns in music from different times and cultures that might be universal and biologically based.
