Today we interview Francois Tetaz, the composer behind "The Surfer" and also the engineer from Gotye's "Somebody that I used to Know". We talk how he got started, balancing the career between scoring and engineering, writing music for films, dance, and so much more.

Many times you may find yourself at a point where you feel lost and wonder how you got there. Today's episode is about things you can do as a composer, musician, or artist in general to get you back to a place where you remember why you are an artist and hopefully help you fall back in love with it again.

Our first podcast, Coffee with Composers, is out now on all streaming platforms. In this, we will be having conversations with working musicians about their journey and creative process, as well as having solo episodes discussing the art and practice of being a creative. Hosted by Joe Chris
