About Sounds from Silence

How does a new piece of music get created? Join host Sidney Chen for a series of conversations with composers about their sources for inspiration, what lights the creative spark, and how they choose which techniques in their compositional toolbox to use. Through talking with the creators themselves, we unlock the ideas behind the music of they write, and learn how they draw sounds from silence.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
