I'd like to welcome you to episode 17 of the Symbolic World podcast in this episode.

I will be playing for you a discussion that I had with the composer Samuel Andrea.

I wanted also to mention that I will not be putting up any of the videos taken from YouTube

that deal with movie interpretations because they're so dependent on the visuals

that I will not have them on this audio podcast only.

So if you want to see some of my video interpretations, some of the interpretations I've done

of different movies, you'll have to go to my YouTube channel from which all of these

podcasts are taken in the first place.

So enjoy my discussion with Samuel.

This is Jonathan Peugeot. Welcome to the symbolic world. So hello everybody. I would like to present to you Samuel Andrea. Samuel is a composer. He's originally from Canada, but he lives in France right now. And so he's been someone I've been following on YouTube and that I met through Jordan Peterson as well and has a very good perception of music, a good way of analyzing music. And for me, music is something that I understand very intuitively. I struggle to be able to analyze it. So I'm very curious to find out more about how the patterns in music can connect to other patterns of manifestations, such as in stories and in images and in our lives.

So, Samuel, I'll give you a chance to maybe introduce yourself a little bit.

Tell us about your background and what you're doing right now.

Okay, so, well, first of all, thank you for the invitation.

I'm absolutely thrilled to be on your channel because I have been watching your videos

and I've been following what you've been doing for a while,

and I find what you're doing is actually extremely fascinating so I'm really happy to get a chance to talk to you um so just to present myself

briefly yeah I'm I'm Canadian originally I was born um near Toronto and I moved to France when I was

22 years old and I've been living here pretty much my entire adult life at this point.

And I came here actually because I wanted to, among other things, I wanted to study at the Paris Conservatory,

which is a very good school. It's got a very good composition program.

And it was a place that I always was very compelled by the idea of studying at.

Let's put it that way.
