The Cave of Apelles

He is a danish, tonal composer who seeks to create works you would want to listen to on your deathbed. Frederik Magle visits The Cave to explain why storytelling — not musical technicalities — is the goal of a composer. He also touches on the strange and mixed reception of his work, and how the sway «modern» values may still hold over classically minded people, and how to counter that. The conversation was produced by Bork S. Nerdrum and assisted by Öde S. Nerdrum. SHOUTOUT to our TOP SPONSORS!

Andreas Hardhaug Olsen is a writer, visiting The Cave to talk about the connection between Social Justice activism and «Critical Theory», an intellectual product of The Frankfurt School. He sits down with Tuv to discuss what happens to culture when «objectivity» is deemed an oppressive tool, and dissent is fiercely attacked - or at best dismissed as «false consciousness». «Wokeness» being a major threat to «creative freedom», knowledge of its principles and origin is fundamental to survival. Olsen also delves into the thinkers who originated this mentality, and how it is being employed.
