On this week’s edition of The 15 Minute Mixdown, host Jon Stinson talks about some ideas around keeping a sane and clear mind when juggling your artistic work and personal life. He also explains why these mindest topics have dominated these solo episodes. And finally, he gets into the main content of the episode – “leaving room for the conversation.”
Many writers and filmmakers employ a technique of leaving “open loops” in order to craft a compelling story. It’s something award winning photographer, Chase Jarvis, talks about as well. In the songwriting and record-making world, leaving something “intentionally incomplete” seems to be a more applicable way to think about it. It serves as a post-creation collaboration of sorts.
Listen to this episode of The Modern Recordist now to get the full scoop on this songwriting and production technique, for crafting really compelling music, that will keep fans listening, creating real meaning and impact with them.
