COMPOSING PRO TIPS

ED HARCOURT

Mercury Music Prize-nominated songwriter, composer and producer Ed Harcourt revealed his perspective on music making to us this year, when we visited his unique Wolf Cabin studio.

Top Tip “I’ve learned new things from writing with other people, and some writers who are 20 years younger than me. You need to be a sponge. It’s the nature of being a songwriter, you’re just logging everything in your head. I’m always producing different people and working with different people. I’d like my spectrum to be even broader, to be honest. As long as I think the end result is good, and has something to say and moves you.”
