Summary
Behind nearly every influential indie rock and pop record of the last fifteen years is the brilliant mind and hand of string arranger, and multi-instrumentalist Rob Moose. The three time GRAMMY winner has contributed to thousands of records from the likes of Paul Simon, Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers, Bon Iver, St Vincent, Bruce Hornsby and Mumford and Sons. In this calming, deeply reflective conversation, Rob opens up about "peaking" in the live touring industry, the transition to a studio-centric life, and how fatherhood has introduced a powerful focus into his creative process. It is an exploration of legacy, creative boundaries, and why sustaining a 20-year career ultimately comes down to treating music not as an athletic feat, but as a deeply human relationship.
