Today it’s been a month since we arrived in Siem Reap, Cambodia, and we are starting our second month here. What was supposed to be a 10-day temple hopping adventure has transformed into a full exploration of music, dance, and mythology of the fascinating Khmer culture. We decided to extend our stay in order to collaborate with Cambodian musicians, dancers, designers, an art gallery and a theatre.
Yesterday Iana Komarnytska and I started recording a video at the Angkor temple that will serve as basis for my third song, a composition inspired by our experience here. Can’t wait to share all these new things with you.

In this episode we talked about balancing being a mother with pursuing a career in the arts, about getting inspiration from travel, about the role of graduate school for an artist, and setting up conditions where you just have to do the work.
