The Song Share Wisdom System
A podcast that explores the creative process of writing and recording music. Each episode follows host Owen Misterovich and a musical guest as they create a song from scratch.
Coming live from Owen's Chicago apartment and via Zoom the songwriters play creativity exercises, trade riffs and ideas, contemplate song structure, and discuss their personal songwriting process.
There are a thousand ways to write a song and rules have no place in The Song Share Wisdom System. Owen's approach is organic, open minded, and full of happy accidents.
