I really enjoy this podcast. The interviewer really gets the creative process and asks great questions. The composers are world class and so articulate about their practice. It does not get formulaic even though they’re all doing essentially the same thing (writing a piece on the same deadline). Keep up the great work!
This excellent podcast gives listener some understanding of how some contemporary composers come up with their musical ideas, work with performers and go about their composing tasks.
Do more of these. Great series.
Anyone interested in the creative process and collaboration will get a lot out of this wonderful podcast. From the structure to the lovely interactions between composers, performers, and the host, it is a joy to listen to!
Absorbing to trace three very different composers as they engage with the process of crafting new pieces.
