Sounding Freedom and Liberation - Episode 7 with Brandon LaBelle

In this final episode of the podcast we present 'Unscripted: Notes Toward Freedom in Music' a selection of short reflections by Brandon LaBelle. This episode isn’t an interview, and it isn’t a lecture. It’s a free-flow response to everything we’ve been thinking and feeling together in this series. Think of it as a spoken score: fragments of theory, memory, and rhythm gathered into one last listening space. Let it wash over you. Take what you need; leave what you don’t.
