Songs of Loss and Healing Podcast - Episode 1 - Alex Neilson And Harry Cooper
The first ever Songs of Loss and Healing podcast - I talk to creative force that is Alex Neilson (from Alex Rex and Trembling Bells fame) and Harry Cooper, a creative producer, facilitator and coach with a special interest in the therapeutic nature of music. We explore our personal experiences of music and loss, and discuss music, grief, trauma and dreams in a 3-way conversation round the kitchen table.
The Songs of Loss and Healing podcast explores the relationship between music, death, loss, grief and healing through conversations with musicians, healthcare practitioners, and academics. Since the beginning of time humans all over the world have used music at times of loss, but the role of music is so little understood. We want to ask, what’s the role of music at times of loss, how do current artists relate to these themes and how can music help us cope with loss.
