Sounds from Silence
How does a new piece of music get created? Join host Sidney Chen for a series of conversations with composers about their sources for inspiration, what lights the creative spark, and how they choose which techniques in their compositional toolbox to use. Through talking with the creators themselves, we unlock the ideas behind the music of they write, and learn how they draw sounds from silence.
