Diederik van der Laag

This week, we travel back to Europe to talk with Diederik van der Laag in the Netherlands. We talk about his development from metal performer to choral composer. He also talks about his process, including what time of day he finds most effective for writing. Then, we play a game called “Put a Smile on That Face.” Pieces featured on this episode: “Ils Dorment,” “Miks Ma Ei Tapa Ennast,” “I Hope You Grow,” and “Safe and Sound.” For more information about Diederik and his music, visit https://www.diederikvanderlaag.nl/
