The episode continues a \u201cback to basics\u201d and \u201cfirst principles\u201d line of inquiry, approaching essential ethnomusicological ideas such as \u201cParticipatory Discrepancy\u201d that describe how a simultaneity of difference can give music its power and meaning. The conversation also discusses riffs and phrases, contrasts the Groove to Attali and Nieztche\u2019s ideas of carnival and the Dionysian, creates a comparison between \u201cliterary\u201d and \u201clinguistic\u201d musical orientations, re-discusses \u201cAgave Expressionism,\u201d and ultimately describes how the Groove offers an alternate perspective of sound beyond the universalism of western art music and institutional major histories.
