We talked with Doug Harrison back in September 2024 about his work with Fen, a Canadian prog rock band whose recent album Dear Mouse was zooming up the international charts.
This is Part 2 of that conversation, and it coincides with the release of a bunch of new work from Doug’s solo project, Slug Comparison. Listen to the kickass single March Through the Forest and join us as we talk with Doug about:
Navigating the prepackaged dreams and expectations of the music industry
Longevity as a by-product of realism about the work involved in being a musician
The gift of persistence and trusting in the process of getting better at your craft
Ways to create space for your work in daily life
The value of mentorship
Separating the ideas of art and money
Questions for Listeners:
(Hop on over to the segment web page to leave us your answers.)
Are you or have you ever been a musician?
What’s your process for creating music?
What do you think about Doug’s process?
If you could give your 25-year-old self a piece of advice, what would you say?
