Episode notes

What’s the role of technology in music? Does it enhance creativity, and can it be a hindrance? 


YolanDa Brown is joined by LPO cellist Elisabeth Wiklander and session drummer Dav Shiel, who is Project Manager and Associate Musician at Drake Music - a charity that helps disabled people reach their musical potential through the use of assistive technology.
