What kind of music do cats like?
The question is no joke to David Teie, who is working on a theory of universal music. The accomplished composer, cellist, conductor and researcher joins Shad to discuss his serious research into species-specific musical preferences.
He explains his approach to writing for animals, how he measures their responses, and the difficulty of creating sounds that are pleasant to all species.
