You know, there's this saying, I think it's attributed
00:00:07.780 --> 00:00:11.580
to Arnold Schönberg, which is art is not derived
00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:15.039
from to be able to do something, but it's derived
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.600
from to have to do something. You must do something.
00:00:18.859 --> 00:00:23.480
And from early age on. Music was sort of my refuge,
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.539
my sanctuary. But what I kept, I think, is the
00:00:28.539 --> 00:00:32.439
sense of discovery or exploration. In this episode
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:34.979
of The Pianopod, I sit down with composer and
00:00:34.979 --> 00:00:38.079
conductor Michael Ostriega to explore his piano
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.899
writing centered around his recent album, Perseus.
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.939
It happened that the pianist who plays on the
00:00:44.939 --> 00:00:49.060
album told me, because we were recording on a...
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.719
Bösendorfer Imperial, which has the low keys,
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.619
the additional low keys. You need to write about
00:00:54.619 --> 00:00:56.679
Perseus. And I said, what are you talking about?
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:58.899
And he said, yeah, you know, I have seen this
00:00:58.899 --> 00:01:03.859
in a TV show that they actually recorded sounds
00:01:03.859 --> 00:01:08.620
from a black hole in the Perseus galaxy cluster.
00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:11.340
So it's a galaxy cluster somewhere out there.
00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:13.859
And in the center of this galaxy cluster, there's
00:01:13.859 --> 00:01:17.200
a black hole. And they recorded sounds which
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.480
can be heard. there because there's gas in the
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.859
galaxy. And then I thought, yes, I could create
00:01:23.859 --> 00:01:28.840
sort of a travelogue going to that galaxy in
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.519
a way. The full episode premieres tonight at
