Overview

Stewart travels to Morocco to discover the polyrhythms of Gnawa and back to Wells Cathedral to understand the mechanics of choral polyphony. He meets Kanye West collaborator Caroline Shaw to examine the powers of melody and the human voice and CeCe Winans to discuss the roots of Gospel. Finally Stewart takes a gong bath in New York and visits minimalist master Steve Reich to unpack the trance-inducing powers of repetition.
