Ben Osborne - "In the studio, you need to deliver this whole world as part of the song…" | S4 EP17
Episode 17
Sunday, 15 October, 2023
In this episode of Can't Find My Way Home, I was joined by Ben Osborne. It had maybe been about a year or so since we originally talked about doing an episode together, but it was definitely worth the wait. Ben talks us through his early days as a musician in Oxford, and how after moving to university, his musical expectations were about to change. For the better... We also get into the move to Berlin (back when it was a lot cheaper to do so), as well as his work with Open Music Lab, where he is the Project Manager & Workshop Organizer, as well as the Co-Founder. From their website - "The Open Music Lab is a space where anyone can learn how to create, record, and share. All of our workshops and courses are free of charge for the students and offer a place for Berlin’s diverse communities to connect and create together." We chat about Ben's back catalogue, his own very distinctive musical style, performing live after a long break, his work on theatre and film soundtracks, and his work as a libretti...writing lyrics for opera. There's a new piece he's written, which will see him go to Japan in the New Year, the joy of writing lyrics, anarchic pantomimes, and why we should be listening to Kate Bush...and The Pixies... I really enjoyed our conversation and I'm sure that you will too... Craig http://ben-osborn.com/ @_ben_osborn_ https://www.facebook.com/benosbornmusic https://www.openmusiclab.org
