The Thing Itself - Exploring The Psychology of Creativity with Creature & Machine

From those making art to those using innovative decision making in domains not traditionally considered ‘creative' - I want to know how people access their ideas, how they use mindset to turn their ideas into reality, and how they persevere through inevitable obstacles along the way.

In this episode I chat to Aleksandra, vocal coach, Estill certified Master trainer, and music artist, about the incredible power of the human voice! We discuss how learning to access and harness different qualities of your voice, whether you’re a singer or not, can help you feel more confident to express yourself – and ultimately help you feel more heard. We also talk about the psychology of singing and music performance, and dig into why Aleksandra feels it’s so important to allow yourself to play, on stage and off!
The Thing Itself sees music artist and producer Creature & Machine take a deep dive into the psychology of some incredible creative brains. How do creatives know which ideas to follow and which to discard? How do they keep motivated and deal with critical feedback? How do they balance their creative drives with making an income and marketing their work? In this podcast we dig into these questions and more to get an insight into the psychological scaffolding that supports creative lives, through conversations with creative people from different disciplines and backgrounds.
