Join us for a discussion of one the most audacious hours of television ever with Geoff Klock and Whitney George.
Immersive Listening: Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima AKA the music from the Nuclear Bomb episode of Twin Peaks
Whitney George loves this song; Geoff Klock loves this show. Join them for a discussion of one the most audacious hours of television ever, in which David Lynch burns with the heat of a nova and nearly destroys 2001: A Space Odyssey in the process. A big part of how it works is Krzysztof Penderecki’s Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima. Even if you haven’t seen the new Twin Peaks, or any Twin Peaks in years, or ever, or any David Lynch at all, George and Klock will bring everything you need. Show up while we wrestle with one of the most powerful works of art ever made and we will goddamn figure it out. Or figure something out. Sheesh. We got a lot of work to do you guys. We’re probably gonna need your help.
Think Olio is here to put the liberation back into the liberal arts.
Classically, the liberal arts, were the education considered essential for a free person to take an active part in civic life. To counter a humanities that has been institutionalized and dehumanized we infuse critical thinking, openness, playfulness, and compassion into our learning experience.
