Glass on the Table: the Multi-Instru-Lingualism of Ou

Ersilia Prosperi, the composer of the Modo di Bere theme music, and her illustrious producer Amy Denio play together in Ou, a band that sings in a myriad of dialects. This episode includes clips of Ersilia's compositions for Ou in Spanish, Italian, French, Sardo, and Pygmy. Ersilia, Amy and Rose Thomas swap naughty toasts and discuss the various personalities expressed through different languages and different instruments. This is the second Modo di Bere episode to date where someone (Amy) says she learned Italian so that she could understand what everyone was laughing about. Download this episode for opinions on the philosophy expressed through Italian humor, language as a compositional choice, musical responses to geopolitics, and the desires of an egg as expressed in the language of Ersilia's Sardinian homeland. Wait til the end for a new composition Ersilia made just for Modo di Bere! [This episode references strong language as well as strong drink.]
