Meet Stephen Wade, who had a stroke and can’t write a simple sentence like
“The cat sat on the mat”, but can somehow still compose music on the page. Or
neuropsychologist Robert Zatorre, who shows that listening to music and
imagining you’re listening to it are practically the same thing—as far as
the brain is concerned. Music and the Mind, a three-part series on Channel 4,
explores these and other musical intrigues. Presenter Paul Robertson, leader of
the Medici Quartet, trails in and out of living rooms and labs trying to
understand what is behind the human experience of music. The second episode is
on Sunday 12 May at 9 pm.
