Episode 13: Daniel Elms (part 1) ”Just show up”

Composer Daniel Elms is my guest this episode, and next episode, as we shared a lengthy chat in his flat in Hove.  We cover topics such as the wonders of various northern UK accents, dealing with composition briefs, anxiety in one's creative process, and how his debut album got signed, landing a UK-wide tour, and the logistics involved in making that happen.

 

This episode's music college didn't prepare me is about TAX because it seems no one knows anything about it until you're in the middle of a hefty tax return amongst a pile of receipts.
