I think people who like analysis feel that they're understanding enhances, but somehow it just ruins it for some people. When you analyze a piece of music, the music is a mirror that you're holding up to yourself than you are about the music.

Bob Kasenchak is a taxonomist and information architect at Factor. Bob’s background is in music, and this conversation delves into what information architects can learn from studying music. We recorded two conversations on the subject: this one focuses on the structure of music itself, and the second covers how we can make music more findable. Look for that one in an upcoming episode.
