Harmonious World Podcast chats with pianist, composer and podcaster; Chad Lawson

Posted: October 10, 2020
Interview with Harmonious World podcast

Chad Lawson is a modern-day master of reinvention: From his bold interpretations of the classics (Bach, Chopin) - which topped the iTunes chart - to the piano itself, which he reimagined with an iPad, creating electronic loops and ambient atmospherics that resonated with EDM fans and neoclassical traditionalists alike. Lawson later recreated the soundtrack - historically known as a recording of the music to a motion picture - for podcasts such as the seminal Lore as well as its spinoff, Unobscured, at a time when most people were still discovering Serial. (" ‘Chad Lawson for Lore' is like its own little genre now but we just wanted to create something cool, and we happened to be ahead of the curve," he says with typical humility.) Remarkably, the virtuoso pianist and composer accomplished all of this as an indie artist without the support or resources of a major label, constantly shifting between two keyboards at home - the Steinway for making music and the Mac mini for making connections, marketing and promotion
