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.

The three composers featured share incredible personal insight about how it feels to create their music—turns out, in a lot of ways they are more like me than I anticipated. I haven’t heard anything quite like this before.

Courtney Bryan’s piece “Synchronicity” has haunted me all day in the best of ways. It sends chills up my spine, it’s that good. Now I’m re-listening to the whole podcast to hear for the second time about her composition process. And I will seek out her other work wherever I can find it. I thank this podcast for introducing me to her brilliant composition.

I really appreciate hearing about the creative process throughout a project. It resonates with me personally, and I love the honesty shared in the episodes. Highly recommend!

As a life long musician who has played in ensembles that have premiered new commissioned music, I really enjoy hearing the curtain being pulled back to learn about the experiences of composers. Excited for the upcoming episodes!
