Description

How can we expand musicians' imaginations about how they can serve communities beyond traditional performance? In this episode of Beyond Mastery, host Eugene Friesen engages in a profound dialogue about the power of music with music producer, educator, and sonic activist Joshua Leeds. 

In a time of "koyaanisqatsi," which means life out of balance,  Joshua Leeds proposes that musicians should see themselves as "sound workers" who bring healing and advocates for public, community-based music making to foster social cohesion and guard against despair.

Joshua specializes in music and sound for health and wellness, and his books include The Power of Sound and Through a Dog’s Ear, and Soundwork on a Hot Rock (2024). You can learn more about Joshua on his website.
