Episode 2: Inspiration
In this episode, we invite composers Richard Rijnvos, Cassandra Miller, and Supriya Nagarajan to share their music and thoughts exploring the theme of Inspiration.
From gardening, cheesecakes and lullabies, to listening to our own bodies as a source of inspiration, join our CEO Susanna Eastburn MBE and composer Des Oliver for a unique insight into composing.
This podcast was produced by Michael Umney (Resonance FM) and mixed by Chris Bartholomew, with the theme tune composed by Rob Bentall. Our recommendation at the end is for record label another timbre.
In this episode, you listened to the following music and sounds:
