Episode 16: Simply, Patiently, Quietly | The Sound of Stillness with Charlie Rauh

In this episode of Peace & Good Wealth, Loy Carlos sits down with NYC-based composer and author Charlie Rauh for a conversation on what modern life discourages- and what great art quietly restores: simplicity, patience, and quietude.Rauh, the author of Simply, Patiently, Quietly (String Letter Publishing), shares how his work pushes back against hustle culture and why “being busy” has become a false virtue. Together, they explore the discipline of reduction (simple vs. simplistic), the link between patience and empathy—including Rauh’s experience as composer-in-residence at Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine—and the meaning of quiet beyond silence: as awareness, confidence, and healing.They also discuss intentional art as an offering rather than a performance, the role of classic literature (including the Brontës) in modern creative life, and why—on guitar especially—vulnerability can be the very thing that makes the music land.Outro: Theoria Part 6 by Charlie Rauh (credit Destiny Records)View Charlie's work: www.charlierauh.com-Credits:Loy Carlos (Host)Kenneth J.
