This week on micro/Maker: When a Theme Becomes a Path
Plus, Bridging Science and Sound through dynamic collaboration.
🍃 Loose Leaf Transmissions – Weekly Dispatch
Dinosaurs and science might sound like unusual themes for micro/Maker, but they’re just the entry points for two thoughtful conversations this week: both about creativity, collaboration, and the winding path of the artistic journey. I hope you give them a listen!

🔜 Coming Up Soon
Next week on music/Maker, I’m welcoming a longtime friend of mine, Graeme Shields, to talk all things composition and organ.

In this conversation, Graeme reflects on how his creative voice has evolved, how his work as a church musician has shaped his priorities as a composer, and how community and humor have become throughlines in his artistic practice. Stay tuned, it will be available on Thursday, July 10!
