#235: Eric Owyoung on Healthy Habits, Ambient Music, & Creative Process [Podcast]

For years I’ve admired the work of Eric Owyoung. He is a brilliant musician, but what makes Eric special is his production work and how he can capture an emotion through song. If you don’t know the name Eric Owyoung you may be more familiar with his work as Future of Forestry and more recently, Somniscape. He’s really creating some special music. In this interview we talk about new music, the emotionally healthy artist, habits, creative process, studio setup, and more. Enjoy!
