Interview with Jorn Swart of Doeke // conversations about the beauty in small details, working in the flow state, learning to let go, and more.
Description
My guest on the program is Jorn Swart of the neoclassical project Doeke — spelt D O E K E — Doeke creates remarkably beautiful neoclassical piano compositions, has a delicate touch and sensibilities steeped in nostalgia and memory. Our conversation took us through splendid places, like the beauty found in small details, working within the flow state, learning to let go and balance the ego, and so many other fascinating topics.
