"Part of it is always the same: we want to package this up in an interesting way and bring people in who are hearing this music for the first time, or say, 'Wow, I didn't know there were so many composers out there. That's amazing!'"Seth Boustead is a composer, broadcaster, writer, concert producer, in-demand speaker, and visionary with the goal of revolutionizing how and where classical music is performed and how it is perceived by the general public. As the founder and Executive Director of Access Contemporary Music, Seth has created unique programs like Songs About Buildings and Moods, the Sound of Silent Film Festival, the Thirsty Ears Festival, a chain of storefront music schools, and dozens of concerts in New York, Chicago, Milwaukee and Mexico City. Seth is the host and creator of the award-winning podcast Relevant Tones and the Concept Lab series in Manhattan. More at sethboustead.com I have been wanting to have Seth on the podcast for some time now. As a composer, pianist, and founder of Access Contemporary Music, he has established and created so many outlets and opportunities for new music in Chicago and NYC. I personally got to experience the Thirsty Ears Festival, which on one of the nights had a scaled-down version of the Sound of Silent Film Festival. The experience was so incredibly inviting, which felt more like a backyard family bbq than a performance in a concert hall. He is currently running a Concept Lab in NYC, which is a series that solely features works in progress, allowing deep collaboration between performers and composers. We talk about all of this, as well as mission statements, making a press kit, universal basic income, and so much more in episode 26 of the Making Noise Podcast.
