Process Driven: Glenn D’Cruze

In this episode, I’m doing something a little different. One of the goals I’ve had for Process Driven from the beginning has been to expand the scope of the conversations I have beyond visual arts as an exploration into how and where creativity overlaps, regardless of the discipline. In this episode I’m sitting down with Glenn D’Cruze, a Canadian musician who records under the name North Atlantic Explorers. I was introduced to Glenn’s music by a listener of my other podcast, On Taking Pictures who emailed and asked if he could send me one of Glenn’s CDs. I’m so grateful that he did.My Father was a Sailor is a gorgeous atmospheric homage to Glenn’s late father, who was an engineer on merchant ships in the North Atlantic during the 1950s. After his father died, Glenn embarked on a journey of his own that ultimately took him from his home in Vancouver to the seas sailed by his father nearly six decades earlier — and it all began with a pair of drum sticks and a stack of cardboard boxes.LINKSBBC Shipping ForecastsSailing ByFreedy Johnston – We Will ShineBelle & Sebastian – A Space Boy DreamDream Academy – Life in a Northern TownFEATURED SONGSInto the Blue SeaGlasgow, Circa 1952Hebrides, Bailey, Fair IsleYarboroughThe Sailor & The StenographerCONNECT WITH GLENNWebsite: North Atlantic ExplorersTwitter: @northatlanticxpMUSICPlease Listen Carefully(Jahzzar) / CC BY-SA 4.0
