The Process: a podcast about creativity and making music

In a world where maybe no one is listening, outcomes and accolades for contemporary classical composers can seem far and few between. Therefore composers must embrace the one thing they will always have complete control over: the process. This podcast aims to understand this creative process by listening to new works and discussing them with their creators. Each episode focuses on one composer and their music. By understanding how and why they create can inform aspiring composers and help audiences better understand contemporary classical music. In addition, each composer will be asked to answer a few of the creative cogitations. The creative cogitations are a list of questions all creative people should ask themselves. You can find a complete list of these creative cogitations at thenoisebuffalo@blogspot.com as well as this and future episodes. I am Dr. Doug Bielmeier and I’ll be your host as we explore the world of new music, creativity, and the human need to find purpose in our world and lives. This is the Process.
