IM226 - Massimo Conte - THIS IS THE SOUND

In this episode of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast, host Justin Vacula engages in a deep and insightful conversation with Anna Murphy and Merlin Sutter of the band Cellar Darling. The conversation was originally recorded in 2018 and now has remastered audio.

The discussion covers many topics, including their musical journey, the impact of Stoic philosophy on their work, and personal reflections on overcoming adversity, creative expression, and coping with emotions. 

The episode delves into the band's songwriting processes, their thematic incorporation of Stoic ideas, particularly from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, and the personal and collective challenges they have faced. Murphy and Sutter also discuss the philosophical underpinnings of their songs like 'Hullabaloo,' 'Challenge,' 'The Hermit,' and their unique sound that blends folk and rock. 

The musicians share their thoughts on the balance between intense emotional experiences and rational thought, their inspirations, and the importance of self-reflection and connection. The conversation also highlights the therapeutic aspects of music and philosophy for dealing with life's uncertainties and hardships.
