25 min - Romain Collin, pianist and composer: what is listening about?

About Sounds Like Portraits
From the publisher's feed
Created and produced by Philippe Ungar:
Sounds Like Portraits is a podcast with creative humans.
Créé et produit par Philippe Ungar :
Sounds Like Portraits est un podcast dédié aux humains créatifs.
Concept:
My guests speak about the creativity that fuels ideas and actions which lead to personal fulfillment. Answering my questions, my guests draw their self-portrait dotted with awareness, life-changing decisions, and a great desire to share with others.
Guests:
My guests work in very different fields -business, art, science, food, police, design, sport, philanthropy, wine, architecture, finance, geopolitics, arts and crafts, law, journalism, etc. - but they one thing in common: they are all creators.
Goal:
A podcast is a fantastic tool that helps connect a guest to an audience. Creativity is a theme that allows for philosophical discussions in the context of concrete situations, mainly because the audience can identify to each of my guest's story. The aim of this podcast is to inspire listeners and support them in their search for meaning.
My hope is these resonate with you.
Please listen in the spirit with which these were shared.

Concept :
Conversations avec des humains qui parlent de leur cheminement pour s'accomplir et donner du sens à leur vie, grâce à leur créativité. En répondant à mes questions, ils revisitent leur parcours en dessinant un portrait d'eux-mêmes, marqué par des prises de conscience, des changements de vie et une immense envie de partager.
Invités :
Mes invités sont issus de domaines très différents -des affaires, de l'art, des sciences, de la cuisine, de la police, du design, du sport, de la philanthropie, du vin, de l'architecture, de la finance, de la géopolitique, de l'artisanat, de la justice, du journalisme, etc.- mais ils sont tous des créateurs.
But :
Le podcast est un formidable outil pour créer un lien fort entre un invité et des auditeurs. Le thème de la créativité permet d'aborder des enjeux philosophiques dans le cadre de situations concrètes, parce que chaque invité raconte son histoire à laquelle on s'identifie. L'ambition de ce podcast est d'inspirer celles et ceux qui l'écoutent et de les accompagner dans leur recherche de sens.
Mon souhait est que ces conversations résonnent avec vous.
Merci de les écouter dans l'esprit dans lequel elles ont été partagées.
