Episode 19 - Best selling author Friedemann Findeisen from Holistic Songwriting joined us on the podcast to talk about what he does and how he learned to dissect songs, break them down and look at their individual elements. His book, The Addiction Formula, has helped musicians and songwriters worldwide find a rhythm to the songwriting process and Friedemann spoke with us about how he's able to critique music and use that feedback to better not only the music he makes but the music his viewers make too.
