We recently launched a new podcast series,
Scattershot Symphony — The music of Peter Link

Already 7 episodes in and thousands of people in 56 countries are downloading and listening to the music.
We are excited to keep bringing it on!

Peter Link has had what we would call a most varied career as a composer and record producer. With over a 150 albums to his credit, spanning a 40-year career, Peter is what you might call a working man’s composer. 

Twice nominated for a Tony Award on Broadway, and with a million-selling record to his credit, and winner of the New York Theater Critics Drama Desk Award, Link has seen great success in film scoring, Broadway Musicals, POP music, Gospel, Television, — and he’s even written ballets for the Joffrey Ballet. 

Each episode looks at a different movement in the symphony of his life’s work. So, if you love music, you’ll love getting an insider’s listen to the work, the music, and the stories around a life in music.

Though each episode is 90% music, Peter manages to regale us with fascinating stories and anecdotes related to his music over the years.

About Episode #4:

“I’ve always loved great singers…” - Says Peter Link. "For most people, singing a song is pretty much a matter of learning the words and the notes of the melody.

What the great ones do is to take it far beyond the music and the lyric. That’s what makes us, the audience, weep, or joy, or soar or sigh — the actor in the singer.

This episode explores how singers use their acting talents to get inside the lyric of a song and live it, featuring music from Julia Wade.
