16 分钟You're listening to Song Exploder,
where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made.
I'm Rishikesh Hirway.
Earlier this year, I gave a talk at the annual TED conference.
My talk was about what you discover when you really listen,
and it was based on how making Song Exploder has changed the way that I think about conversations and connecting with people.
My talk came out today on the TED website and on the TED Talks Daily podcast.
And the very nice folks at TED asked if I would also put the audio here as a bonus episode.
I hope this isn't too meta to hear me discuss the show and what I get out of making it on the podcast itself.
But the talk also features some music, including some beautiful cello played by Yo-Yo Ma.
So there's that to look forward to.
And there's also a pretty personal story of my own.
So...
Here it is, my TED Talk on what you learn when you listen closely.
Please welcome Rishi Keshe Hewe.
I've been in love with music my whole life, both as a musician and as a listener.
But as a listener, sometimes songs feel a little like houses to me.
Houses that you can only see from the street.
You can stop and admire them from the outside.
You can say, wow, look, the architecture is amazing.
