Yeah Music - 27/11/2013 - The Evolution of Music

On the Wednesday, the 27th of November, we flung ourselves merrily into the happy world of musics! Our third and final speaker was Justin Zeltzer, tracing the history of music back to the first recorded sounds.

Justin gave us a pretty comprehensive run down of the evolution of modern music - how we got from the rough structures of traditional music to the pointedly weird video of Kanye Wests's Bound 2, a video that was recently re-made by Seth Rogen and James Franco.


Justin is a professional biostatistician, and plays in the excellent band 'The Winter People' - you can check out their stuff here. He's also hosted shows on fbi radio, and he really, really loves Kanye.
