On this episode of the London Music Podcast, I talk to classical composer David John Roche. He is the recipient of over 30 academic and professional awards and has composed pieces for vacuum cleaners and orchestra, epic planetarium shows, customised Dutch street organs, rock bands, video games, films, theatre shows, international orchestras, and anything beyond and in between. His music tends to inhabit one of two worlds. It is either celebratory and bright, consciously in opposition to the world in which it was written, or manic, detailed, and violent in response to the poverty and politics of our time. Roche’s compositions have been broadcast, televised, written about, and performed internationally to millions of people. We talk about the economics of being a classical composer in 2021, competitions, teaching, and Yngwie Malmsteen, among other topics.

He has a diverse musical background, classically trained on piano and pipe organ but always having a love for creating music with computers and synthesisers.  TDC Tunes streams a unique, live modular set every Friday on Twitch.

He has a new single coming out 18/12/2020 called 'Cosmic' with singer-songwriter Rocco. It’s a song about escapism and hope. Rocco writes about falling in love during a difficult time and she compares the feelings to a psychedelic euphoric experience of leaving everything behind and quantum leaping into outer space.

On this episode of the London Music Podcast, I talk to MAIA MOHAM, an Iranian American indie pop/soul singer songwriter from Orange County, California. Her music draws inspiration from the brutally beautiful works of Bob Dylan and the soul power of Aretha Franklin with modern influences from Bishop Briggs, Sia, Bastille, and Hozier. Her emotive production style is complimented by engaging harmonies and exceptionally raw vocals that are all her own.

Maia brings her passion for storytelling into each of her songs, focusing on moments in life that are often the hardest to overcome. Her debut EP entitled "Facade”, explores the conflict between our public and private personas while delving into the different levels of vulnerability. "It is my attempt at defining the complexities of strength and pain - the person we seek to be and the person we are at our core. Too often I find that we hide our individuality out of fear, even at a subconscious level. It is a never-ending battle but one we fight in order to live a more full, meaningful life."
