THE DREAM FEED:
Musicians on Motherhood
ZOSHA DI CASTRI composer | pianist | educator
This podcast series features conversations between musicians on their experiences navigating the seemingly incompatible worlds of professional music and motherhood, sharing in both the personal challenges and profoundly inspiring moments that come with being simultaneously mothers and musicians.
In "B-Side" episodes, the performers share a jointly created duo and discuss what it was like to collaborate at a distance. In a time like the pandemic, artist-mothers have had to be extra-inventive with how they use their time and resources to build space for music-making, a topic which is also touched on in these first five episodes.
Born out of the unique circumstances of 2020-21, each duo starts from the same electronic track, composed by Zosha Di Castri. The invited musicians were asked to record improvisations to this track (some included additional electronics of their own), Zosha then adds a piano/keyboard improvisation in response, and edits everything together into a unique, new composition.
This project was made possible by a generous grant from the Canada Council for the Arts
