Episode #85
For most of this summer, I couldn’t write anything new. I don’t mean I wasn’t writing. I was sitting down, playing chords, working on melodic phrases. But every idea arrived with the same thought attached: I already...
Last week I listened to Aaron Sorkin's interview with The New York Times ahead of The Social Reckoning , and two things stopped me. He acts out his dialogue so physically that he once broke his nose doing it. And he...
I watched that finale and cried, which I wasn't expecting, and then immediately started trying to work out why. What I settled on is that the thing that turns Deborah Vance around isn't a person or a speech. It's an...
I bought a camera a few weeks ago, and it changed how I experience a day. I started noticing sounds, smells, the air, my stepfather's ancient dishwasher in Virginia. But the second I actually noticed that dishwasher, my...
When I got my first set of drums, my parents thought I was a natural. I let them think it – it felt good. What they didn't see was the years I spent obsessed with drums before I ever sat down at a kit. This episode is...
Episode #80
I've been carrying around a tiny bit of panic lately. This sense that I need to get everything done before the AI robots turn up and make it all pointless. I don't think I'm alone in that. In this episode I talk about...
I keep hearing the same fear on repeat: AI is going to hollow out creative work. I feel it too. I've got kids about to start college, and it keeps me up at night. Then I watched a talk by David Lee, the chief...
I just got back from my first tour in Iceland with my own band – which, after more than 20 years of living here, was long overdue. This episode is me sitting with what the tour actually taught me. Some of it was small...
I'm 77 episodes in, most of them barely get seen, and I'm not sure anymore whether that's enough of a reason to keep going... so I'm just going to tell you the truth about it. I've been doing this podcast for a couple...
Episode #76
The Pope wrote an encyclical about AI — and the part that hit me hardest had nothing to do with technology. 📭 The free newsletter goes deeper into ideas like these: https://ktfpod.com I'm not a religious person, but...
I have a confession. I've been using AI to help make some of these episodes... not to write the music, but the show itself. A recent New York Times piece made me stop and ask what I was actually giving up. Studies show...
After years of obsessing over the news and feeling powerless about all of it, I'm finally trying something I've never actually done. For years I was a news junky. Subscriptions to the New York Times and the Washington...
Episode #73
You don't lose time to laziness. You lose it to a series of small, completely defensible decisions... and if you're a creative person, you feel every minute of it. Every morning I do Wordle. Then I make an espresso and...
Episode #72
The more experience I got as a jazz drummer, the worse my instincts became – and figuring out why changed how I think about every creative decision. There's a moment in almost every creative project where the variables...
I've been reading Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke – a book about addiction, not creativity... but I couldn't stop reading it like it was about creativity. Dopamine Nation: https://amzn.to/4tPSkCg Turns...
Episode #70
I used to only reach for writing when I was already stuck, which meant I was always playing catch-up. What I've learned — slowly, and not always consistently – is that writing isn't really about being a writer. It's...
If you've ever snuck away from a family vacation to work on an idea... or spent a board game mentally somewhere else entirely – this episode is for you. I left my laptop at home on a ski trip. Took the iPad "just for...
You've been told to visualize your success, but there's research showing that advice might actually be making your creative block worse. The new album: https://scottmclemore.bandcamp.com/album/subtext-vol-1 There's a...
Episode #67
What happens when a jazz trumpeter decides to turn his own anxiety into a chamber music suite... and then the world has a collective breakdown right on schedule? Ian Carey and I go way back. We used to live two blocks...
Episode #66
I never set out to become a minimalist composer, but somehow I accidentally stumbled into a creative process that completely transformed my output. What started as a simple experiment with my 2012 album Remote...
