Have you heard of the music box? Could a nebula in space have anything to do with a composer's research?
In this episode, Ragnhild talks with Wilma Pistorius -a cellist, composer and Alexander Technique teacher who is based in Amsterdam.
As a composer today, how do you make connections?
Wilma talks about her approach to this, being herself on the introverted side and would be happy to spend the evening with a book rather than being out socializing.
Being a composer today involves making oneself visible (and audible, of course!), doing one's own PR, taking initiatives and being proactive, and being able to step in at a short notice.
For the past several years, Wilma has walked her path piece by piece, e-mail by e-mail, concert by concert, insta post by insta post... and the ball is rolling.
