We were always encouraged by our parents to give back, to volunteer and to be mindful of others. And because music gives me such effortless joy, when you combine joy with an opportunity to give back, I think you are fueled for life. 18:40 During the pandemic I spent a lot of time recording sounds in nature, because that's the only place we could go. I learned how to build underwater microphones. When I was invited to Antarctica, I started recording the sound of glaciers melting in the South Pole. 27:40 We need adults to believe in their own magic so we can make the world a better place. Music has the power to soften certain feelings, it gets them moving, brings people back into that childlike purity.
