So creative and thought provoking

This is a really neat concept - a writer writes on a theme, and then two sound designers do two separate treatments. Then they compare notes. It's such a unique structure, and it's super interesting to hear the artists talk about their process after. Beautifully done!

5 stars

This is such a beautiful concept! I appreciate the creative aspect, as well as the conversations these concepts inspire between different people and perspectives through an artistic lens that is, at its core, deeply human. This is also great exposure for incredible artists I’ve never heard of - and I love hearing them! This is really a gem of a podcast, and I feel inspired as a musician and a writer.
