     Words add a new dimension to music, but for some musicians, the words are difficult to render. I want to talk for a moment about writing songs before we know what they are. Not demos or tracks.
    Not finished things in themselves. Not even pop songs, or genre based words. Let's start with nothing... Just the act of writing — daily, imperfectly, with no expectations or judgement, and without asking where the work will end up. Many mus...

     What Is the Point of an Orchestra?

    You Don't need an Orchestra when You Have a Bedroom Musician - Discuss | iServalan | Continuum Music  When any Tom, Dick, or Harry can make a “classical” album in their bedroom in an hour, the orchestra looks suspiciously obsolete. You can buy the samples.
    You can stack the parts.
    You can quantise the timing, tune the pitch, polish the reverb.

      Betrayal Season 5

      Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
