TRANSCRIPT

Going into my interview with Ben Cosgrove, I was admittedly really confused by his music. His artist statement says that he makes “instrumental music that explores themes of landscape, geography, and environment and straddles a line between folk and classical music.” What does that even mean? And how does he get there? I felt that, in order to really get a sense of his style, it was best to go to the source of his inspo: nature - so we went for a walk through the snow in Stockholm before his show at Eureka Hall - Maine’s most remote music venue. To get to the core of his process, I had to ask a series of questions, and then, it finally clicked. Now, when listening to his music, especially the song SALT, I know exactly what he means and can use my own metaphors and stories to make it come to life.
