I was thrilled to interview cellist Noah Hoffeld on this week’s podcast. Noah has performed with Rene Fleming and Phillip Glass, and recorded solo cello for films including A Walk In the Woods and The Skeleton Twins. His debut solo album, Play Human, has been heralded by Baebel Music as “cello rock you never knew you needed.”

We talked a good bit about Noah’s fantastic album, Play Human, and I was especially interested in talking to Noah about the role that meditation plays in his creativity and productivity. This is an area I have been wanting to add into my life for some time, so this was a particularly timely topic for me.

Music:
Role of Rock
Flirting With Disaster
(Both selections are from Noah’s album, Play Human. Check it out on iTunes)

Learn more about Noah on his website and take a peak at his Twitter while you’re at it.

Thanks as always for listening and if you like what you hear tell a friend and leave a review on iTunes.

On this week’s podcast, I interview composer/producer/drummer Ryan Rumery about his latest album, Riverside. We chat a bunch about our mutual love for Ableton Live music production software, and the process of creating work.

I’ve still got some ello shirts to give away, listen to the podcast for details on that.

So, listen, subscribe, review, like…all the things. Thank you, as always, for listening.

Songs:

Lockdown
Say
The Piano Interlude

All tracks are from Ryan’s latest album Riverside, which you should purchase here on his Bandcamp page. You can also find Ryan on his website, Soundcloud, and Twitter.

I mentioned Drip a couple times on the podcast, check that out here, and let me know if you’d like a free month.
