This episode has been in the cupboard for a reeeeeallly long time for reasons we went into in our first episode of the season, but we still think it's a fantastic listen. It was a pleasure discovering the fearless creator that is Steph Richards. We talk about Steph’s latest album “Supersense” (listen here: https://stephrichards.bandcamp.com/album/supersense), her creative process, and how one of her goals is creating music that you can almost taste! We also speak to Steph about concerts as spell casting, which includes taking things into consideration like the temperature of the room. We discuss what can be learned from commercial music, why building a rich community is so essential, and the idea that “you are what you eat” as an artist. We also talk about the best time for musicians to take risks and what risk-taking has to do with artistry. We explore the following questions: what does it mean to think past our own instruments? What can we learn from musicians who play other instruments, and what role can different materials play in our music-making? https://www.stephrichards.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/outofrichdarkness/message
