On this episode of happy business Peter Salerno speaks with Adam Cirillo, Writer/Performer.
Adam explained to Peter "I dug up my guitar, because I hadn't played in years, and I started writing songs. It occurred to me this is what I did when I was little when I wrote songs and performed on my mum's guitar. Then the idea came to me to record an album and present it as a theatre show and call it Mum's Guitar in honour of that first creative spark. Also, it is that old "method actor" thing where you create the role by actually experiencing and learning the world of the character being portrayed.
"After working in the studio for around four months with Music Producer Sam Lench and recording over twenty songs, I then went into developmental rehearsals with Paulo Castro to devise a show based on the music album. Through improvisations and exploration of text a narrative was formed."
