My group’s presentation was on musical extremes. We decided to take the concept in a slightly different direction and critically analysed a piece of music in a genre we loved and another from a genre we hated. We tried to give an unbiased approached but I’m sure our passions split over so in this blog post you will find links to third party sources which will hopefully provide a neutral point of view and a summary of our talk.
