What does grief sound like when it finds its way into music?
Manage episode 517964091 series 3661068
Composer and pianist Joe Gendle dives deep into the sounds of grief and how it can transform into music, not as a dark experience, but as a means of connection and release. We explore the question of what grief truly sounds like when it weaves its way into our melodies. Through personal reflections and poignant stories, we see how Jo's journey with loss has shaped her music, beginning with the memory of a dear friend, Irene, whose influence led Jo to embrace singing and ultimately confront her own grief. As we talk about the cathartic power of music, Jo shares how her album emerged as a vessel for emotions that words often fail to capture, illustrating the profound relationship between loss and creativity. Join us as we uncover the delicate balance of vulnerability and expression, and discover how grief can resonate in unexpected, beautiful ways through sound.
