I’ve been keeping a close eye on Nataly Dawn’s blog and Ben Fold’s facebook page recently, and not just because I have gigantic celebrity-crushes on both. (Music geek side note: Funnily enough, they both collaborate with Ryan Lerman, who toured and filmed with Ben and has done a bunch of collaboration with Nataly, including on her new album).
They’ve both been posting a lot lately about the process of creating their new albums (Nataly’s “How I Knew Her”, and the new Ben Folds Five album). As somebody going through that same process myself with Photogenesis, and just as a growing artist who’s interested in digging into the mystical thing we call the creative process, they were awesome to read.
So, without further ado, here are some links to great writing and insight from amazing people.
