Long before orchestras or amplifiers, before radios or records, before even the first instrument dared to vibrate. Cono slips between eras and instincts into Dr. Aditi Subramanian’s luminous essay on the evolution of music, reminding us that rhythm once lived in the body alone—a pulse in the dark, a survival chant in the bones, an ancient signal whispering us into harmony.\nFrom that primordial heartbeat, the story unwinds through the lives of those who lived it loudest—into the hands of those who transformed instinct into expression. Musician and producer Mark Holden journeys from frozen Winnipeg nights to European studios lit by malfunctioning heaters and impossible dreams. He chases sound across continents, into rehearsal rooms, onto stages, and finally into digital worlds where silence first learned to shimmer.\nThen the dial turns to three stewards of Vancouver’s musical past—Don Shafer, Frank Gigliotti, and Dave Chesney— gathering like storytellers around a radio-shaped fire. They recall an era when songs arrived as emissaries, carried into stations with care, fought for by believers, shaped by hands, breath, and tape. A time when Muddy Waters could fill a room with just one note, and Stevie Ray Vaughan could rearrange your heartbeat in an instant. An era rises and falls in the space between two guitar notes. \nConovision: where music remembers the stories, even when we forget the words.\n\nEpisode References:\nThe Evolutionary Roots of Music | Psychology Today Canada\nMark Holden | LinkedIn \nDave Chesney | LinkedIn\nFrank Gigliotti | LinkedIn \nDon Shafer | LinkedIn   \n\nCredits:\nCamila Espinosa: Audio Engineer/Sound Design\nMeg Griffiths : GGRP Studios\nCaitlyn Bairstow: GGRP Studios\n\nChapters:","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/uGViwnKU8IbvI4TvhFCh1i8Zdex4rMvbSRy4KcNBEPo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82Y2Vm/NjkxOGM4MmYxMWFi/YjE1MGMxMGQ2NjY2/MjY5Yi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
