Applying the Polish

Pressure makes diamonds, but are diamonds the goal of your music? Community, experimentation, and collaboration are at the core of VU’s philosophy but how do they serve our individual artists? Dilly Dave asks the tough questions of Kelsey Jean and Rhath in this light conversation about music-making. Tune in to hear what VU’s been up to, how members have benefited from being a part of Vibe Union, and the limitations to our approach. Highlights 00:00 The Dusty Sessions 11:10 Open Mics 20:55 What’s Next for VU? 27:45 The Uncut Diamonds 40:20 Becoming a Performing Artist 46:59 Final Thoughts This podcast was recorded on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation. They have served as traditional custodians of this land for over 60,000 years, living in harmony with our environment. Sovereignty was never ceded and we extend our respects to Indigenous elders past and present, and we strive for a better future in which our First Nations People are respected and at the forefront of society’s relationship with the land.
