More Devotedly
The socially-conscious artist's toolkit and pep talk.
I like to try to represent opposing viewpoints occasionally when I interview guests on the podcast. Here I asked William Seiji Marsh to address the " industrial complex" question—the idea that coaches like him could be seen to be taking advantage of their clients insecurities. William's answer here is pretty simple, the services he's offering now are ones that would have benefitted him as a younger musician, and he hopes they could help others too.
Hear him sweat bullets as he answers this question (ok, that was a little dramatic) on the podcast! Listen at moredevotedly.com or subscribe on your app!
The socially-conscious artist's toolkit and pep talk.
More Devotedly is a gathering point for a community of people who recognize the power of the arts to create change, and who understand how to use that power. The title of the show is inspired by conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein’s reaction to the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 when he said “This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.”
The artists who will share their ideas and experience on this podcast are following that advice, but in many cases, they’re doing much more. Going beyond the traditional confines of artistic practice, they’re using new tools and tactics to realize a future that is more inclusive, more just, and more peaceful. More Devotedly seeks to help its community to recognize its power as messengers, warriors, and healers, and use that power in the cultural and political realms.
