Frequency: 1 episode/63d. Total Eps: 35

Join me, Singer-Songwriter, Guitarist & Producer Stephen Hodd for deep dives into the mysteries of creative flow and activities around accessing this flow. I'll be holding space with musicians, poets, artists and other practitioners of artistic endeavours to discuss their work and their creativity in an attempt to open the doors to discussion about how we can best share our creative methods and to open creativity up for all. Creativity is a right, not a privilege and is something every human being on the planet should be able to enjoy.

Finding a voice so the soul may take flight : Tapping the flow with Mick Hanly

Season 2 · Episode 2

Thursday, February 20, 2025 • Duration 01:12:41

In this episode, I sit down with legendary Irish singer-songwriter Mick Hanly, whose journey through music has been shaped by a deep search for personal and creative freedom.Growing up in Limerick, Mick's early years were marked by the rigid structures of a Christian Brothers education, a system that sought to suppress individuality and silence voices. But rather than breaking him, it set him on a lifelong path to reclaim his voice—both literally and artistically. Through music, he found a way to express what was once held back, creating songs that resonate with the struggles and triumphs of those seeking their own liberation.We talk about his journey, the power of storytelling in song, and how uncovering his true voice became a mission not just for himself, but for others walking a similar road.

Layering emotions to reveal the source. Tapping the Flow with Moojigen

Season 1 · Episode 21

Sunday, April 18, 2021 • Duration 01:10:44

This week I cast the pod to the northern quarter of France to chat with Japanese composer/guitarist Moojigen, a.k.a. Yuichiro Maeda.

Moojigen and I met in London over a decade ago and recently reconnected discovering that we have very similar pathways into music and for similar reasons. He has a hugely fluent and emotive soundscape story telling ability that sucks you right in and reworks your senses well after the song has finished. His recently released LP 'Fathers Sea' is absolutely brilliant and has to be heard :

In this podcast Moojigen recounts how he ended up living in a self-built Yurt in France with his wife and their daughter, and how he plans to build a Japanese inspired eco-community for artists and world weary sonic adventurers. I for one cannot wait to take a trip over and collaborate ASAP.

Be sure to check out his recent work on award winning Netflix film Of Love and War - http://ofloveandlaw.com

As always special thanks to my guest Yuichiro and to you the listener for Tapping the Flow with us.

Gracing the stage as an 8 piece Duo. Tapping the Flow with The Blackheart Orchestra

Season 1 · Episode 19

Sunday, April 4, 2021 • Duration 01:26:05

This week I shared a mighty banter filled hour laughing with the wonderful duo The Blackheart Orchestra. When you catch them live you will be listening to an 8 piece band but you will be witnessing a supremely talented and adventurous musical Duo surrounded by swathes of gear. Such is the sonic palette in which they practice creativity that they must dive deep with their skill sets when it comes to performance ethic.

Their recently released album Mesmeranto is full of beautiful songwriting taken to thrilling heights by a production style that echoes The Cocteau Twins, Mike Oldfield & Kate Bush. We discuss how and why they take such a huge amount of stuff on the road to bring this music to life as well as how the pursuit of happiness can be hindered by its attainment. :)
