Sophia Vastek is an accomplished pianist, composer, and music curator who also writes a wonderful Substack titled Sounding Softly where she dives into some very similar conversations as the one we had here.
I’m also a huge fan of her work. There’s so much truth in what she does, and it shows in speaking with her. I hope you stay to the end to hear us go more in depth about intention in your art. It was great to think critically about this way of being as an artist.
