Ambient Discourses is a podcast with long-form conversations with musicians and composers who create musical experiences and sonic landscapes in the ambient, neoclassical, new age, and other peripheral music genres. We talk in-depth about topics like inspiration, the creative process, and other interesting conversational topics; and we play a few tracks from their latest album. Each conversation is also paired with an episode on The STOLACE | RELAY STATION — a global ambient music program, where we feature artists from around the world at stolace.com and our channel at YouTube.

Interview with Brian Fechino // conversations about ego, branding, gratitude, and more

My guest on the program is Brian Fechino — a prolific guitarist, ambient artist, producer and mixer from the Nashville area. He has numerous releases and collaborations on the Heart Dance label, has an extensive history in the music business, and as I’ve found over the course of our conversation, both wisdom and maturity that we all could learn and benefit from. Our conversation steered through a variety of topics, like stripping away the ego, branding for today’s artists, the power of gratitude and empathy, and a whole lot more. Plus we spent some time talking about his latest releases “Reflection Spaces” volumes one and two, some of the projects he’s presently involved in, and his connection to Heart Dance Records.
