I chat to Amie McNee, also known online as @inspiredtowrite, about the ongoingness of insecurity,  the difference between music-making and novel-writing, the myth of "The One", AI, and the cost of making art among many, many other things!Amie's book We Need Your Art comes out in March and is available for pre-order now.

A wonderful new episode where I speak to Donatachi about literally 100 different things as usual. We cover so much ground you'd think we were literally lawn. Topics include but are not limited to: Putting auto-tune on David Byrne, Brat, Neon Genesis Evangelion, fitting in vs being an individual, Another Chance by Roger Sanchez, sound production tools and preferences, and Anglerfish (mild Outer Wilds spoilers at the end of the ep).Some harsh audio in this ep again sorry!!!!Donatachi’s new EP ‘Ascension’ is out now and is soooo epic and ethereal. Highly recommend if you’re into trance and if you’re into driving with the music loud.
