BBC World Service - Music Life, Delving into the subconscious with Jon Hopkins, Anna Meredith, Holly Herndon and Max Cooper

Four of today's most exciting electronic musicians discuss composing and creativity

Four of today's most exciting electronic musicians - Jon Hopkins, Anna Meredith, Holly Herndon and Max Cooper - discuss composing, creativity and the subconscious.

Four behemoths of the current electronic music scene - Max Cooper, Anna Meredith, Holly Herndon, and Jon Hopkins – join the BBC World Service to talk all about creativity. 
 
They’ve made some of the most influential music of the 2010s, and that continues into the new decade. Led by Irish composer, producer, and former geneticist Max Cooper, the group discuss how much their subconscious plays a part in their music, their composition likes and dislikes, and – the biggest question of all – the reasons why they became a musician in the first place. 
 
Answering those questions are: one of the most innovative voices in British music, the contemporary-classical composer Anna Meredith, who released the album Fibs last year; American composer and sound artist Holly Herndon, who developed her sound in Berlin, and released the excellent album PROTO last year; and keyboardist, producer, and 'sonic technician' Jon Hopkins. Fresh from releasing various offshoots of the album Singularity, he’s been touring the world, and has played with everybody from Brian Eno and Coldplay to King Creosote.
