Episode 58: Orchestrating a Large Collaboration with Leah Shaw
from Emerging Form · host Christie Aschwanden
What do you look for in collaborators? How do you find them? Is it better to collaborate with friends? We speak with singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and film composer Leah Shaw about putting together her full-length album Play Beautifully, a sonic exploration of loss, healing and self-transformation. She talks candidly about the balance between control and collaboration, learning new skills, and learning to trust the input and inspirations of others as she pursued her own passion project. Leah is our new audio producer, and this episode also features a new version of our theme Leah engineered, featuring Leah on bassoon alongside Kyra Kopestonsky on cello.
