Regardless of what she’ll tell you, self-described pianist, collaborator, and educator, Brianna Matzke really does it all. We discuss how working on her ongoing series The Response Project during Covid expanded her roles and experience beyond anything she’d originally planned. We also talk about letting your work be derivative of whatever the thing is you can’t get out of your head whether it’s 1960s German experimental electronic composition or late 90s Japanese power-pop. Just go for it. Check out more of Briana’s work and connect to the projects discussed in the episode at her website: briannamatzke.com

Get Better is a podcast by Josh Elstro (AKA Carls Manager), featuring conversations with independently creative people exploring how and why they do what they do in a world and culture that often works to convince us our primary value is the labor we do for an employer. The show digs deep into what jump starts peoples’ independent creative processes and how they stay motivated to follow through.

Each episode features a one on one conversation with people whose personal creative endeavors have placed them at all different levels on the ladder of social or financial success in their field, niche, or hobby. As creatives we have just as much to learn talking to someone who sets aside time every week to do needlepoint of birds they see in their yard as we do from someone who got rich and famous selling their own music. The show explores what sparked their interest in their creative outlet, what drives them to do it regardless of financial reward, and how they discipline and hone their skill to get better.
