Grundwork: Built From the Ground Up

Music EN ↓ 12 episodes

Every song has a story, even without words. On Grundwork, guitarist and composer Mark Grundhoefer pulls back the curtain on his own instrumental music one song at a time. Each episode digs into the writing process, his influences and inspirations, the art of recording and arranging, and what happened when the song finally met the world. Part music theory nerd session, part creative memoir, all Mark. Powered by Firstory Hosting
