Museums in our part of the world used to be called the Ajaib-khana, or the wonder house. It was a place that inspired through the collection and display of artefacts to tell a story about belonging to a place and also in the world. Joining us this week is Qaleeda Talib, a history graduate with a passion for public history. We explore the big question - what are museums established for? Are they still relevant today? How has it changed over time?

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been writing music over the past several decades (did you know David Bowie co-developed a lyric-writing Mac app?). This collaboration is taken further with MUTEK.JP, an electronic music and digital arts festival that celebrates the intersection between humans and AI. Maurine Jones and Natalia Fusch joins us on the phone to elaborate more on the AI music lab; a gathering and exploration of soundscape composition, noise music and techno music production with AI.

MUTEK.JP, Where Music and AI Come Together

A recent study by the British Academy of Sound Therapy found that listening to an average of 78 minutes of music a day improves our mental health. Regardless of genre or type of music, the emotional connection we form with music brings us through five different moods such as overcoming sadness and aiding concentration. Dr Indra Selvarajah, president of the Malaysian Music Therapy Association and the first PhD qualified music therapist in Malaysia, gives us an insight on the science behind music therapy and how it can be applied to our daily lives.
