#10 ART TALK with Sandy Kilpatrick, Scottish musician based in Portugal

In this podcast episode, Sandy Kilpatrick, Scottish
singer-songwriter based in Portugal, unfolds his life story, and
gives us an insight into his creative process.


He first takes us back into his formative years, when he was a
student in Lancaster and then a Manchester-based singer in an
indie-rock band. Further, he discusses the transition from a
fast-paced professional life in England to a family life in
Portugal. One of the highlights of our conversation is Sandy’s
almost idyllic description of his large forest, the lush green
hues of the leaves, the dazzling variety of his fruit trees, and
the wonderful fragrance of orange blossoms. As he confesses in
this podcast episode, in such moments of pure grace, when he
feels most clear and free, Sandy becomes receptive to inspiration
and he allows it to flow. If his guitar happens to be around,
then he freely plays its strings, the magic occurs, and a new
song is being born. The floodgates open when he silences his
self-critical voice for a while.


Sandy argues convincingly that making peace with the inner demons
and getting rid of the tyranny of the mind, an expression he
borrowed from his wife, is essential for personal growth and
creativity in art.
