TED-Ed: Music in Ancient Greece


This was a fantastic project that I was so happy to be a part of.  Working with my regular partner in crime Hector Herrera and produced under the banner of our non-commercial works studio Together, this is the second piece of late that I’ve had the pleasure of providing music and sound design for.

From TED Ed:

You think you love music? You have nothing on the Ancient Greek obsession. Every aspect of Greek life was punctuated by song: history, poetry, theater, sports and even astronomy. In fact, music was so important to Greek philosopher Plato that he claimed the music we listen to directly affects our ethics. Tim Hansen wonders what Plato might have to say about the music we listen to today.
