So there's no narrative quality to the music.
It just sort of starts, stays pretty much in one place, and then ends.
Hello, Ezra.
Nice to meet you.
Well, perhaps I should tell you first why I thought that question needed answering.
Because in education in England, and in fact, I think probably in most parts of the world,
The budgets that always get cut are the arts budgets because there are apparently more important things that we should be teaching people, science, engineering, financial technology, that kind of thing.
Yeah, you should be making short trades.
Exactly, exactly.
Are you really alive if you can't short a stock?
Yeah.
So, I've always thought that art is actually one of the most important things that humans do with their time.
In my book, there's a long list of things that I consider could come under the headline of art, and it includes…
Of course, obvious things like symphonies and photographs and paintings, but it includes cardigans and jewelry and makeup and tattoos and all the things that humans do that they don't have to do.
None of those things have survival benefits in the obvious sense.
They're things we do to do something in our mind, to change our mind in some way.
So what does art do?
Why do we like it?
I have this phrase in the book that children learn through play and adults play through art.
And I think that's really what it does.
