Composer Quest was born out of my desire to fill the surprising void of music composition podcasts on iTunes. I started by interviewing my songwriter friends about their composing and songwriting tips. It’s now a full-fledged music composition podcast of interviews with all kinds of talented music makers and psychologists.

Whether you’re a music composition grad or simply an occasional noodler on a guitar, each guest has a new perspective for you on the creative process of composing and songwriting, along with some concrete ideas to apply to your own music.

I post a new Composer Quest episode every Wednesday evening, and bi-monthly composing “quests” for you to participate in. The entire back catalog is free to stream and download below, or through iTunes, Stitcher, or RSS.

-Charlie McCarron, Composer Quest host
