Jessica Rudman - New Music Ninja

Author: theprocessmusic October 23, 2020 Duration: 25:23
This episode on "The Process" I talk with “new music ninja” Jessica Rudman. We listen to her work  "A Forest that is a Desert III" performed at the Choral Arts Initiative with text by Kendra Preston Leonard. Jessica and I discuss text setting, choral writing, and the importance of voice and perspective for aspiring creatives.

Ever wonder how a strange and beautiful piece of music actually comes into being? The Process: a podcast about creativity and experimental music. pulls back the curtain, offering a rare and intimate look at the minds shaping today's sonic landscapes. Each conversation is built around a specific new work; we listen to excerpts together with the composer who made it, then dive into the how and why behind every choice. These aren't broad career overviews, but focused explorations of a single creative act-the initial spark, the technical hurdles, the moments of doubt, and the breakthroughs. You'll hear from artists working at the edges of contemporary classical and experimental sound, discussing everything from notation and software to the philosophical questions driving their work. This podcast provides a valuable resource for anyone making music themselves, demystifying the path from idea to finished piece. For listeners, it builds a deeper appreciation, transforming unfamiliar sounds into understood stories. Tune in for a candid, composer-led journey into the heart of modern music-making.
