Instrumental
Amber Petty sits down with some of Australia's most accomplished musicians in Instrumental, but these aren't your typical career retrospectives. Instead, each conversation revolves around a single, pivotal relationship: the profound and often personal bond between the artist and one specific instrument. This focus unlocks a more intimate story, moving past the general love of music to uncover the precise moment a dream became tangible reality. Listeners are invited into a space where the guitar, piano, drum kit, or any other tool ceases to be just an object and transforms into a character in its own right-a collaborator, a confidant, and sometimes a formidable challenge that had to be overcome. Through these stories, the podcast reveals the unexpected turns, dedicated practice, and sheer luck that propelled these individuals from hopeful players to icons, often achieving success they never dared to imagine. Petty guides these explorations with a genuine curiosity, ensuring every episode feels like a discovery. The result is a music podcast that feels refreshingly concrete, built not on abstract ideas of fame but on the tangible, sometimes scarred, wood and metal that made it all possible.
