Composing with David Mackenzie
Today we are digging into David’s process of writing music. He has been working as a composer for over two decades and shares his wisdom, including tips for breaking through creative barriers and incorporating self-development practices into your work. David draws inspiration from many sources, and his recently launched brand fuses classical and electronic sounds. We’ll be playing a selection of his new releases throughout the episode.
