Choosing a Creative Response to the Polycrisis with Anthony Thogmartin

Joining us on the show this week is musician and educator, Anthony Thogmartin (@earthcrymusic). Most known for his work in the American livetronic band, Papadosio, and his side project Earthcry. Anthony is also the founder of the online education platform Seed To Stage, where he teaches a global community how to produce music using the Ableton software. In this conversation, we explore the interconnected nature of the polycrisis that our shared world is facing. With topics ranging from A.I technology, world economic systems, and utilizing art to create lasting change; we delicately weave a thread through many of the day’s issues as well as their respective antidotes. Oh yeah, and we talk about Papadosio and their impending hiatus. If you want to stay plugged in with Anthony’s work moving forward, head on over to seedtostage.com.
