In this episode, we were joined by our good friend and accomplished composer Nathan Hudson. He holds a BM in Trumpet Performance from the Schwob School of Music at Columbus State University, an MA in Composition from Stony Brook University, and a PhD also from Stony Brook University (read his full bio here).

We talked about what it means to major in music composition, and how a composer goes about finding their voice. We also talked about the creative process—where do ideas come from—and how he develops those ideas into full compositions.

And since Nathan is also knowledgable about the worlds of specialty coffee and craft beer, we also talked about the art of those two worlds, and what it means to pursue the ideal.
