About this listen

https://www.instagram.com/ferdinandschwartz https://www.ferdinandschwartz.com/ --- Chosen Sound by Ferdinand: "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" by Sting (1993) – Starting at 13 seconds https://youtu.be/7km4EHgkQiw?t=13s --- In this interview, Ferdinand Schwartz shares his experience of making a living as a professional musician — from the practical realities of sustaining himself financially to the ongoing struggles and stress that eventually led to a life-changing panic attack and how it's now affecting his life as a musician. We also talk about his deep love for music, what it’s like to live with perfect pitch (where Philipp demonstrates embarrassingly how bad his pitch is) and even take a small detour into Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It’s a long, but beautiful and deep conversation.
