Playing Beck means PLAYING Beck



Today on WBUR's RadioBoston show, there was a piece about Beck's "Song Reader," the album that isn't.

Well, it is, if you actually play the music yourself, because "Song Reader" is boxed sheet music.
Which makes it a "box set" in the original sense.

As Beck's website for the music says, "Only you can bring Beck Hansen's Song Reader to life."

Making people actually play the music both democratizes and experientializes* it.

Listen to the story here.



*yes, I know this isn't a word, but what would you say here?
