In 2020 I made a podcast called “Drafts”. In this series I asked artists to share a draft of their work and talk about its origin and how it came to be. To learn about who they are, what their process is like and why they do what they do.
DRAFTS #05 with Jade bird
In this fifth, and final, episode of this season’s Drafts I talk with Jade Bird. Jade is a musician and songwriter from the UK who currently lives in Austin, Texas. We talk about the draft of her song Houdini, how everybody wants to write Let It Be, the cliche of wooden cabins, revising and how the best music might be about love.
DRAFTS #04 with Charlotte Adigéry
Charlotte is a musician and songwriter from Martinique, Guadeloupe and Belgium who lives and works in Ghent. We talk about intention, humor, how a song is like tomato soup, racism and its many layers, David Byrne, field recording and the making of her song Senegal Seduction.
DRAFTS #03 with San Holo
In this 3rd episode I talk with San Holo about his song Lift Me From The Ground, making magic happen by not looking for it, the things we cannot put into words and getting peace of mind through making music.
DRAFTS #02 with Eefje de Visser
In this second episode I talk with Eefje de Visser about her song Stilstand, reality, truth that can be found in gibberish and longing for something that might not even exist.
DRAFTS #01 with Binkbeats
In this first episode I talk with Binkbeats about his song Mooncake, using technique as a source of inspiration, finishing songs and how you yourself are probably never finished.
