Laura Sinclair on Curating a Stress-Free Studio
Joining us today is Violist, Educator, and Coach Laura Sinclair. We are talking about one of my favorite topics: music teaching! Specifically, we’re talking about reshaping the way we think about teaching to make it sustainably work within our own musical career goals and our portfolio of musical income. Topics include: -Seeing where the "yeses" come from -Breaking the cycle of perceiving teacher as "less-than" than performing, and realizing how teaching can improve our performing career -What is tuition-based teaching? -Reshaping our relationship with boundaries, studio policies, and value-based teaching -Creating your own Stress-Free Studio

Prateek Rajagopal on Scoring With Electricity: An inside look into VR Scoring, Haptics, and "In the Current of Being"
In today's episode I chat with artist, composer, and record producer Prateek Rajagopal about building bold, immersive music. Prateek breaks down how he balances "feel" with technique, why rhythm is his north star, and how hardware synth/modular workflows can turn raw electric current into musical building blocks for composition and world-building. We also focus on Prateek's experience composing for "In the Current of Being," a haptic VR experience directed by Cameron Kostopoulos that tells the true story of Carolyn Mercer, a survivor of electroshock conversion therapy. Prateek Rajagopal is a film composer, record producer, and artist by way of Oman and India, known for his boundary-pushing work across film, immersive media, and music. He is the executive music producer and composer at KOST AI, where he scored In The Current of Being, which won SXSW 2025, premiered at Cannes Immersive 2025, and the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival. In the film and television world, Prateek has collaborated, written, and produced music on major studio projects including Trolls Band Together (Justin Timberlake), Star Wars’ The Mandalorian Season 3, and Creed III (Michael B. Jordan), as part of the team under Joe Shirley and Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson; a path he began after being selected for USC’s prestigious Screen Scoring program. Most recently, he has returned to his musical roots through close collaboration with electronic composer and producer Bobby Krlic (Midsommar, BEEF, Beau Is Afraid). Outside of film, Prateek is the chief songwriter and guitarist of GUTSLIT, India’s leading death metal export.
