Episode Synopsis

Professor Holger Schulze is a full professor in musicology at the University of Copenhagen and principal investigator at the Sound Studies Lab. In this episode, he talks about how a person develops a 'sonic persona' because of their relationships with their sound environments affect and shape them. 
Holger takes us through our sonic relationships with cities and everyday objects, he explains how music affects us as we grow up and then describes how we go inside our own sonic bubbles. The conversation turns to the politics of sound and how the development of voice recognition technology, like Alexa and Siri, has created a new servant class.
