Episode 013 / August 20, 2023 In this episode of Ambient Discourses, I have an absolutely entertaining conversation with JD Ryan of the ambient music project Thorny. Our conversation steered through numerous topics including the work required to find your voice, finding creative clarity, what success looks like, and more. JD also managed to perform some interviewing martial arts on me, making me the subject in this interview as well. Good times.
