Finding Awe Through Creative Flow with the Seryn

from Radical Sacred · host Jenny Misslin and Phillip Dieke

We had the loveliest of chats with Seryn founding members Nathan James Allen and Trenton Wheeler! We talk creativity, flow, letting our questions guide us, their beginnings as a band in Denton, TX, their pause from creating music together, the pathway back to one another, and their newest songs. Join us for this winding, interesting, music and hope filled conversation. Fun fact: our new intro and outro music is a gorgeous tune called Beach Song by Seryn. This song means a lot to us and we hope that you enjoy it as well!Show Notes:Seryn Seryn on InstagramYoutubePlaying March 21 - Thinline Filmfest - Denton, TXTranscendental Reunion - Mary Chapin CarpenterA Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure - MatmosApp - Bednight Sleep MusicThe Birds Wrote Me a Poem by: Andrea GibsonChapters00:00 The Poetic Prelude04:04 Introducing Seryn: Origins and Name07:06 The Hiatus: Conflict and Growth11:40 Reunion and Healing Through Music19:45 Serendipitous Connections and Band Dynamics25:30 Nature's Influence on Music30:45 The Creative Process Behind 'River Song'32:31 The Significance of 'Beach Song'43:14 Faith and Doubt in Our Music55:26 The Importance of Questioning Beliefs57:00 Artists as Voices of the Oppressed57:43 Finding Inspiration in Turbulent Times01:00:24 The Role of Family in Creativity01:03:31 Navigating Anxiety and Creativity01:09:50 The Urgency of Time and Connection01:19:21 NEWCHAPTER
