The Modern Recordist Podcast – EP: 017 – Suspending The Conscious Mind And The Transformational Process Of Writing Music With Ernest Chapman
Wow! What an awesome episode! This week we have musician, recording artist, songwriter, producer, author, and music teacher, Ernest Chapman on the show. And boy did it go deep!
Listen Now:
Ernest and I discussed his very unique and profound method of suspending the conscious mind as a process for writing music. This is the technique Ernest used to write the concept album “Space Attack.” Touched on also, is the idea of putting the process of music creation within the realm of self-improvement – knowing that you will be challenged and taken through a transformational process, much like alchemy.
These are all ways of being that Ernest steeps into every aspect of his music creation practices, as well as The Magic Music Method, the curriculum Ernest has developed for teaching music (and so much more)…
As mentioned, this episode goes deep. You’re gonna really wanna save this one, so you can listen to it multiple times.
And after you’re done with this episode, check out The Magic Music Method to get yourself fully immersed in these powerful concepts of music creation.
