Vlad Smishkewych, host of new series ‘The Astrolabe’ on RTÉ lyric fm
1 September 2015
Beginning September 1st, Vlad Smishkewych stars as host and writer of RTÉ lyric fm’s new series The Astrolabe. What can listeners expect to hear on The Astrolabe? Here’s a glimpse, from the programme’s webpage.
Have you ever wondered why we humans make music, or why musical traditions sound the way they do? How about why there are so many songs about love, or why sad songs sound sad? Did we always like music with a beat, or is rhythm a fashion that comes and goes?
Every week, you can join host Vlad Smishkewych as he takes you across the globe—or around the corner—to explore how people have expressed culture through music, and to find out how music has tackled just about every topic under the sun. Sometimes taking things from a scientific angle, other times speaking from the artist’s heart, this hour of varied and unlikely music is sure to prime your ears and your brain. Astrolabe will spin tracks and delve into topics ranging from “Musical DNA” and “Musical Evolution and Revolution”, to “Music, Attraction, and Sex” and “Cults and Cosmic Music”. No subject is too out-of-this-world! Prepare to have your ears and mind opened on The Astrolabe.
Don’t forget to tune in to 96-99 RTÉ lyric fm at 7pm Irish time or via the web at: www.rte.ie/lyricfm.
