After a chance email exchange with
back in February, I was delighted to have the opportunity to chat with him for my podcast, Space to Think. Robert, amongst other things, is the author of three Do/Books on improvisation, pausing and conversation.After 4 years of podcasting, I had a strong sense of the kind of space I wanted to create with this podcast, wanting it to feel like a conversation rather than an interview. There’s such nuance in this, the ability to be present in conversation as well as ‘create’ something that you will enjoy being a part of as a listener.
Robert is a generous guest who shares willingly and widely his experience, insight and wisdom. To say I enjoyed the conversation doesn’t fully capture it. The conversation was enabled to flow and find its own rhythm and tune and I’m reminded of something Robert said.
Music without rests isn’t music, it’s just noise.
