Stay ConnectedPondercast explores the thoughts and feelings we often feel but rarely put into words or sound. Host Laurie Brown writes thought-provoking scripts set to ambient scores by Joshua Van Tassel. We dive beneath discomfort, into the mundane, and examine the sky. We explore the unknown within the solace of the present moment.
New episodes every three weeks.

It's been a long time since I've spoken with Jason/Chilly/Gonzo/Maestro Gonzales so we had a lot to talk about.
This is part 1 of a 2 part series all about intervals. The building blocks of western music. Every interval comes with a feeling that is bred in our bones. Prepare to feel emotionally manipulated as we wander through the octave, the minor 2nd, the major and minor 3rd...and the list goes on!
I'm a big fan of Leif Vollebekk and so it was a highlight to get to sit down and talk with him. You get it all! Talk and music!
This episode was inspired by an idea by Joshua. He was thinking about breath and breathing when he wrote these pieces of music. So I picked up on that theme and Breathing Lessons is the result.
So take a deep breath, and let's time travel; from your first breath to your last.

Let's feel full together.
