Music, Creativity, and Mental Health: Max Frost

In this Music, Wellbeing & Mental Health podcast I talk with singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Max Frost. We had a wonderful conversation and we touched on many topics including: the role of anxiety in the creative process; learning to drop expectations that ‘this matters’ and learning not to care so much; technology and the evolution of art, especially the speed of music production; the myth of the tortured artist; tthe relationship between great art and psychological pain and suffering; the relationship between the imposter syndrome and career success; being transported by music as a meditative-like experience; the unconscious, non-literal and poetic elements of creative production; the mystery of why and how music effects human beings so powerfully. All in all, it was a great conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
