Art for Arts SakeAFAS E08 The vintage factor of making artThis is one from the Christmas / New Year period, when David was visiting Cologne. It is quite probable that we need to wait (sometimes a long time) until there is interest in our work. At least an independent classical composer living in Australia, as David is, experiences this. This year (2024), the Portland Youth Symphony Orchestra performed one of his works, that was composed around 20 years ago.

Art for Arts SakeAFAS E06 Agendas in art creationThe agenda of not having an agenda. "Welcome to my lab! This is what is on the slab." We talk about the creative mindset, waves of ideas & inspiration and the pathway of intention:our expectations, agendas, emotions & the sweet spot of surfing when creating, where the great and the lousy ideas coming in waves, and we need to be "in the moment".

The department store of life - how do you know on which floor to look for the answers for our questions of measuring success.The video version has automatically...

Art for Arts SakeAFAS E02 Always go aheadOff the track - an episode on the value to travel. Absorbing it and putting it into the art. Is there a difference of being a tourist or travelling and immersing oneself brings you an expansion that also fosters one's art (even if it is going to a 24hours store in San Juan, Puerto Rico)? And sharing it also brings inspiration to others. Artist conversation by "the Australian guy", David W. Pyke (Music)& "the German guy", Pipo Tafel (Editing)recorded June 14 2021San Juan Puerto Rico | Cooktown Australiaedited Jan 4 2024 Cologne Music: was recorded by...

And we discuss copyright issues related to the music David contributed to this episode - how can and must we use it.
