Show Notes

”I always told my parents, ‘you can’t make me be in the band!’ They found that very strange.”

Holly Harrison and I caught up in Parramatta to discuss why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings. Amongst the squawks of native birds, we postured that composition should always start from a sense of play and a willingness to experiment. I also expressed my complete admiration for Holly’s very well laid out website which can be found here: http://www.hollyharrison.net/
