Broma - Elbow Room

Written Produced and Performed by Jason Kendall Fall of 2024 

People Talking - Jason Kendall

PETTYe

This track glimpses at the fragility of life balanced with the desire to live it to the full. Our inherent risk taking is subject to chance and the universes fatal flaws. Whilst it has at times a melancholy feeling with drop D minor chord patterns, this is quickly shifted to one of euphoria and fulfilment with rising strings and major guitar riffs that lift the listener to a crescendo. A dynamic song that rises and falls with complex arrangements to create a motivating and upbeat outlook on life. 

Live Today Today

For the ninth instalment of Pet Projects we are delighted to welcome artist, cellist and children’s author Margit van der Zwan to the show. Based in Lancashire, Margit was born in the Netherlands but has Hungarian roots through her grandma – and therein lies a link to her distinctive pet: a Magic Roundabout remix who is an expert at shepherding her music students to the piano – as well as putting them at ease. 

In the course of a highly entertaining chat, Margit reflects on some of her adventures – including touring with pop band Elbow, introducing her wonderful picture book ‘I love my maracas!’ to leg-hugging young readers, and learning to play the musical saw (as well as designing a card game) during lockdown. She also looks ahead to her forthcoming art exhibition, ‘All Made Up’, which runs in Clitheroe from 22 February 2025, and we discuss her own unique musical compositions, excerpts of which are included in the show at the following points: ‘Hearts Hearts’ (38:20), ‘The World’ (46:48), ‘White Van’ (01:00:00) and ‘Een Fijne Melodie’ (01:06:50). 

Thanks so much for coming on the show, Margit! As always, there was much to learn from a wonderful new guest – both about the arts (classical/contemporary string music this time) and about those dawg-gone animals…

Pet Projects is a collaborative project devised by writer and editor Peter Humphreys and artist and filmmaker Ana Rebolledo, who provides the artwork and video content. It is available on Spotify, SoundCloud, iTunes and elsewhere. If you’re enjoying the podcast please like, subscribe and share.

Homecoming is a 3-track journey through burnout, healing, and self-renewal. From the emotional weight of Home, to the quiet strength in Blossom, and the vulnerable release of Drown, this collection captures the beauty of starting over—even when it hurts. It's about finding light in the wreckage and learning to bloom on your own terms.
