The 4/4 Beat & Why We Need to Ban Drum Machines

This week’s episode of A Bit of Culture features KulturPop’s Matt Armitage and the return of Aidil Rusli, from the band Couple and Playburst. Matt starts the show by talking about digital amnesia and whether our reliance on devices is making us forgetful and complacent. Kam then puts his music hat on to talk about the 4/4 beat, and why we need to ban drum machines, leading to a very interesting input from Aidil and Matt. In the second part of the show, Aidil talks about the constant battle of art vs money in Malaysian cinemas, and whether we can have both at the same time.

Produced by: Haniff Baharudin
