S1 Ep52: Composer - Hannah Kendall

Greater Than 11%

For our final episode in Series 1, we are joined by the incredible Composer, Hannah Kendall.
Hannah discusses her early start in music: learning to play the violin at four years old. She shares how her love of all things music grew throughout her childhood and in her teens, she would go to the library each Saturday to loan Bach CDs.
She confesses that she had never considered composition as a career, as she had never known or been taught about any women - or women of colour composers at school. She muses her career path as a result of an admin error when she was at university, which meant that she had to take an 'extra' class to make up her points to ensure she could graduate and it was in this class - 'composition' - that she found her calling.
Hannah talks about her process; starting off with graphical representations of how she sees the music taking shape (this fascinated me) and the anxiety involved with starting a new project.
Hannah 'keeps it real' whilst I consistently try and romanticise her creativity and talents in the interview - I have to be honest, I'm still in awe at what she does and creates, I mean just listen to her music (link below)!
