Derek J Fiedler | Revelatory Music for Modern Conundrums w/ Neil DeGraide of Dirt Poor Robins @DerekJFiedler | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Neil DeGraide of @dirtpoorrobins joins the channel to announce his newest EP 'Prelude to Firebird' featuring the track 'To the Heights' and give insight to the writing process with his co-writer and wife, Kate DeGraide. We get into profound topics like the purpose and problems of modern music making, AI deep faking, analog, societal control, the bargain of compliance, the two sides of fragility, and more.

Neil: "People are exhausted, disconnected, and disenchanted. My goal is to help people connect to deeper meaning that helps them not get tossed to and fro by the waves of change. This record gives more hope than anything we've ever done."
