3. Take the Leap & Be Down to Fail with Chuck Wilson
One of music’s most beautiful qualities is that there’s a time and place for all its types. We’ve got jazz for the ballroom, jam bands for the open road and binaural beats for the sauna. Whatever music you feel called to make, you can be damn sure someone out there will feel that it was specifically crafted just for them. In today’s episode, Chuck and Rick bond over their love for the unpredictable nature of improvisational music whilst still acknowledging the undeniable power of repetition.
