Slightly Out Of Frame explores the profound connection between the in between and the creative spark. Artists, writers and musicians are essentially translators of the unseen. They are always reaching into the shadows, the quiet thresholds, and the unexplainable to pull out something tangible. This podcast explores how a strange occurrence or an encounter with the liminal actually infiltrates a piece of music, a chapter of a book or a visual artwork.
