MARCUS HARRIS-NOBLE: A podcast by SPILL Festival

A podcast series by SPILL Festival

For this episode, Robin talks to Marcus Harris Noble, Creative Producer and DJ. Marcus was part of our 2024 Think Tank Live programme, presenting a participatory workshop entitled ‘The Deep Listening Toolkit’, which was designed to shift our habits and perceptions around the act of listening to music.

Topics covered in this podcast include the devaluation of music as in monetary and cultural terms, the possibility (or not) random discovery in the algorithmic age, how apps like Shazam have changed how recommendations are made for new music, the pleasures of listening to crackly vinyl records and Marcus’s search for every version of the classic Jimmy Webb song, Wichita Lineman.
