Ep 53- INTERVIEW with Chelsea McGough (On Pixie Dust and the Making of FLOW - The New Album by Joel McKerrow & Chelsea McGough)
Joel speaks to Chelsea McGough - a cellist, composer, and producer based in Nashville, who’s compositions have been featured in films, television, social media and ad campaigns in the U.S. and abroad. In this conversation, Chelsea talks through losing her love for music and how she found her way back again, finally landing in a place that felt more like home. Chelsea and Joel recently performed together at Story Festival in the US, and off the back of that went on to record a fully improvised contemplative meditation album together, while living on opposite sides of the world. Chelsea and Joel discuss the creative process of bringing this album together and experiencing the magical “pixie dust” moments that can happen when we let go of perfectionism, and embrace the vulnerability of creating in the flow. The album FLOW - An Improvised Poetic Meditation is out everywhere now. ---- The music used throughout this episode is from Chelsea McGough’s various collaborations: Chelseamcgough.com Our sponsors are The Practice Co. and ACOM This podcast is hosted by Joel McKerrow & Produced by Richelle Bourne
