I believe that the word “musician” is too-often used to discourage people from participating in their birthright as sound makers. We are all sound makers.
Mark Stewart
“I like the way my brain works when I’m looking at garbage.”
Here’s a TEDx piece I found inspiring: Mark Stewart – A Private Duet, 350 Strong
Mark is an accomplished musician, regularly touring with the likes of Paul Simon. As he says in his talk: “On a pop tour you have two options. You can either work on a new drug habit or you can have a project.” He chose the project.
Mark makes music from everything – especially items cast away as garbage, things he finds in dumpsters. He’s an engaging speaker and his talk is a clear example of the importance of arts education. The end of the talk features a private duet with every person in the audience. Enjoy!
