E6 #Insights: Richard Spaven on freedom, expression and emotionally charged drumming

Finding greater freedom, expression and confidence on Light of Day

As part of our shorter #Insights series of podcasts, Richard Spaven reflects on how his approach to drumming has evolved and why Light of Day feels different from anything he has made before. As he began writing the album, he realised he was creating music that could serve the drummer he is now: more expressive, more emotionally open and less afraid to say too much.

He discusses the greater sense of freedom in his playing, the emotion that spills through the performances and why he sees Light of Day as featuring his most emotionally charged drumming on record.
