Le Son Cassé
Polly meets Emma Hartley, a British doctoral student studying alpine acoustics, who suggests that Kaspar's musician's dystonia might lead him to discover a revolutionary new way of playing that incorporates the mountain's natural echo chambers. When Kaspar's broken notes create unexpected harmonies with the mountain's acoustics, they're interrupted by Gottfried Steiner, a traditionalist champion alphorn player approaching their location.
