Hello, and welcome to our podcast, which features professional artists, performers and researchers, primarily from the field of music, talking about their practice. Our idea with this series is to reach out to music students and young professionals who wish to gain more insight into the minds of established artists, teachers and researchers in order to learn more about what it takes to build an independent professional artistic practice. We are both percussionists ourselves, and approach the different areas from that perspective. Topics covered across different episodes are artistic influences, practicing and time management, creativity, composer/performer collaborations, approaches to creating and funding artistic projects, how to create an ensemble, artistic research, how one's perspectives on the practice of music changes over time…and much more. We hope you enjoy listening! …and please send us a note if there are topics you'd like to see covered. <a
