Ep41: Juliana Hatfield on drawing without looking

<p>Thanks for listening! Attention Engineer is a show where I seek to make the best use of my own valuable time and attention by having deep conversations with fellow artists about creativity, grit and determination.</p><p>.</p><p>About your host: I'm Laura Kidd, a music producer and solo artist releasing music as Penfriend. Come and grab two free songs plus letters about art and music from <a href="http://penfriend.rocks/hello" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://penfriend.rocks/hello</a> </p><p>.</p><p>My aim is to consistently remind you - and remind myself - that creativity really is for everyone….because it really is. Let’s kick that inner critic where it hurts, and have a thought provoking time in the process. You don’t *have* to make something of your own after listening to this show - there’s no homework! - but please know that you can if you want to.</p><p>.</p><p>Juliana Hatfield's 17th original solo album "Blood" is out now - <a href="http://julianahatfield.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://julianahatfield.com</a></p><p>.</p><p>In this conversation, we discuss: writing about the truth, rejecting society’s expectations and demonstrating alternative ways of living; finding creative freedom in limitations; sensitivity as a superpower; and home recording – Juliana’s tough transition from analogue to digital recording, and how her brilliant new album “Blood” is her most misanthropic yet.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
