The Creative Act - March 24

Local singer/songerwriter Ceda Torma joined my regular co-host/local music goddess Sarah Good  and I for this show to read some of his own poetry, which he often incorporates into his music as lyrics. We had a really great discussion about the process of writing poetry/lyrics.

An enlightening excerpt from a a lecture on the creative act by artist/icon Marcel Duchamps, who was a driving force in questioning/redefining art against a modern landscape of existence, was included for the spoken word portion of the show. It was taken from one of the most excellent web resources on art/music/writing www.ubu.com.  The section with more audio files on/by Duchamps (including a lot of great background info) can be found here.
