Harmonics, or overtones, exist at the crossroads of music and physics. They are the components of sound that create color and timbre, and when isolated, they sound like an ethereal whistle. Like magnets, harmonics (to me!) seem almost magical and unexplainable, yet they are the most basic component of sound.
I live for cheesy mid-century choral music. Today: Herbert Howells and Charles Villiers Stanford.
As of September 1, 2014, Hammered! is on hiatus.
Say hello to Hammered!, Q2 Music's hour-long, weekday program devoted the extraordinary breadth and ever-evolving repertoire of music for keyboard. From concert grand to disklavier, synthesizer to clavichord, prepared piano to toy piano, Hammered! shares musical colors from ebony to ivory and every shade in between.
Hammered! streams weekdays at 10 am on Q2 Music.
