About this episode

Ben Cosgrove discusses the influences and creative process behind his latest album Topograph, inspired by dynamic landscapes.

Ben Cosgrove is a traveling composer-performer whose music explores themes of landscape, place, and environment. Described as “a sonic plein-air painter who uses his piano as a paintbrush,” Ben's music "incorporates elements of classical, folk, country, blues, pop, et cetera, and can be by turns meditative and chaotic, somber and exuberant.." On this episode of Nature Revisted, Ben returns to discuss the influences and creative process behind his latest album Topograph. The sixteen new songs are inspired by landscapes of tumult and change — instances of “water and air moving land around”. The resulting album is as lush and diverse as the scenes and processes that inspire it: moving islands, eroding dunes, collapsing hillsides, and landscapes being made and unmade. https://www.bencosgrove.com Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited…
