720: Giovanni Sanguineti on visual composition

It was great to connect with Giovanni Sanguineti for the podcast.  

We start off talking about an online workshop that past podcast guest Danny Ziemann has been doing online.  Giovanni is obsessed with learning and growing as a player, and we dig into a number of resources, including Dennis Whittaker’s new series Incredibly Useful Exercises for Double Bass.

We also talk about the time we spent together in Lucca, Giovanni’s latest album Remember The Future, how he has been handling the pandemic, his visual approach to composition, and much more.  Enjoy!
