Episode 12: Daniel Hart

Daniel Hart is a composer, performer, and producer who has written music for such critically acclaimed films as, “A Ghost story”, “Old Man and the Gun” and “The Green Knight”.

As a performer he has traveled the world playing with artists like St. Vincent, Broken Social Scene, Other Lives and the Polyphonic Spree as well as his own band Dark Rooms.

In this episode we premier his new song “Maureen” and talk about the musicality of different languages, not polishing away the humanity of a performer in a recording, and the benefits and disadvantages of composing as a non-pianist.
