Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Jun 11, 2010

music changes with the times. sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. I think it just so happens that architecture, music, and other aspects change with the times. the just happen to go together.

He's not a very good speaker to be honest, a lot of his points were incoherent and unorganized, and he didn't really end the speech on point. Instead of summarizing how the environment evolves and inspires music, he spent minutes on whether people still have the same amount of passion and joy for music......................... yeah.
