Ep 14 Ella Mine and the Beauty, Purpose, and Potential of Darkness and Pain in Art
Why is it that some of the most compelling art is the dark stuff? Likewise – why is it that when music, or film, or literature, gets too dark, it becomes less interesting, and not more? And why is it so difficult for spiritually anchored music to get this right? What’s going on? Dark, light, salty, sweet – we’re diving into the deep end on this episode of the podcast, with a look at pain and darkness and just how important they can be to truly redemptive art.
Join us as we visit with Ella Mine, a brand new artist who recently released her debut album and left us all slack-jawed. Dream War blends progressive rock, classical, folk and modern pop elements into something that sounds timeless, fresh, and enveloping. Conceived as a live performance piece, and recorded with a dedicated group of imaginative young artists, it plays like the soundtrack to an epic film or Broadway experience – and yet is as intimate and immediate as a breath. And the whole thing was birthed in, and deals with, tremendous pain. How did this recent college grad, who studied under Charlie Peacock, dial something this realized in on her first project? You’ll hear all about it, including a guided tour through the whole album when Ella takes over the Jukebox.
We’re heading into the water. Join us.
