Thank you so much. I've been following everything Madison does since I encountered her on Chris Thile's radio show, and in addition to the music have been trying to find out more about who she is. My whole life I've been interested in hearing creative people talk about their work. (I'm a former composer myself.) Madison is the best songwriter/singer/guitarist of the current generation, and the word is rapidly spreading.
Saw her in 2018 opening for the Punch Brothers. Just her in a blue dress, a jazzmaster, and an amp. I had not a clue who she was. I was in tears 10 minutes later and I'll never forget that.
I love how she's assimilated her influences into her own personal style and approach. I'm hearing Thom Yorke/Radiohead, Rufus Wainwright, Joni, etc. Beautiful music!!
To me she's a cross between Joni Mitchell, Jeff Buckley a bit of Thom Yorke and Elton John melodic sense. Thank you for geeking out on her music with her. I love hearing about theory and songwriting. She is very special. I want her to get a lot more attention. Thank you for interviewing her!
Brilliant. Fantastic interview. The new song she shared…Incredible composition. If you have told me Paul Simon wrote this I would have believed you. Bravo Madison.
how wonderful to witness an interview of an artist I am intrigued by, to find the interviewer has a mind just as rich as that of the artist… good on you - I am happy you two have met
@@PabloHeldmusic It is my hope that people like you & Madison can/will keep on doing That Thing you both do so very well…. They can ban our books but hopefully not our voices
Madi talking about Joni was already bringing a tear to my eye - this kid gets it! But then the debut of "Inventing the Wheel" at 36:00... Wow! The purity of her talent just breaks my heart in the best way. ❤
Thank you for playing," Inventing The Wheel"... 🎶 ❣️🎶... 😌 Thank you for taking the time for this very complete, honest, candid, and informative interview... Inspiring (and validating), in a lot of ways.. most of all musically..🎶❣️👍
Wonderful interview! I was unfamiliar with her & her beautiful music, although it's possible I heard her on Thile's show at some point on the radio. Such inspiring creative process. Your level of preparation for your interviews always is so amazing, Pablo. Also, I hope Madison listened to your music after this!
This was *SUCH* a great interview. I just recently discovered Madison and have become infatuated with her music. I literally was thinking about how much I'd like to interview her, then the next time I checked TH-cam, your video was in my recommendations. YT read my mind! 🤯😊 Madison's music sounds so intelligent _and_ so intuitive to me -- a rare combination (the new song she played, "Inventing The Wheel", is a wonderful blend of those things). What's great about your interview is that it helped reveal(er 😁) that intelligence and intuition via her verbal communication as well. Great job, and I'll be looking at your other interviews. Keep up the great work!
Thank you both for this wonderful conversation. Madison's openness and true musical creativity will continue to be an inspiration for a long time to come. She towers over so many of her peers. Magic!
Isn't it so, that voice and the essence of what a guitar sounds and connects to rhythm, is the source of her immense creativity? So, like the silent vulcano joni mitchell has given to us. And the guitar possibilities drive the way at core. For me only guitar can combine with voice like this.
Madison is incredible! So excited to see that you worked on an interview together. Thanks again Pablo, and thanks to Madison for sharing so eloquently.
@@PabloHeldmusic seriously! Your deep respect, empathy, walking the line of talking and expressing an opinion but not being opinionated, deep musical knowledge and applied to the ‘why it has effect on humans’. You were born to ask the questions just like Madison was born to do her thing.
The "solo" (piano and voice) version of that song is one of my favorites of hers... (But really there are so many.. ).. Such a wonderful and amazing talent..🎶❣️👍
I think Judee Sill's "The Donor" is her greatest track, by far - but nearly impossible to cover well. She herself was probably the reason for her failures - she caused her own downfall.

Thank you for pointing us to Judee Sill! Incredible
I have to thank Alexa Barchini and Jackson Fitzgerald for hipping me to Judee Sill!

I'm SO happy that she played this song!!

Such inspiring creative process. Your level of preparation for your interviews always is so amazing, Pablo.
Also, I hope Madison listened to your music after this!
thank you both for that brilliant, well-researched, intimate, free-wheelin', deep-dive, fun interview! All the things!
Thank you for the kind words, Martha!

GREAT ! Big fan of her for years, and the last album is SO wonderfully produced too.
Absolutely! A killing record for sure

thx Brian!
Hey, did not know Madison bevore, i must confess, thanks for that great Interview.
Oh that’s cool. I’m glad you discovered her this way ;-)

I've been a fan for years now. Before Who Are You Now was out! THANKS!
Great questions. Good to hear the whole thought process!
Thanks, to you both. Great pleasure and inspiration.
Wonderful interview! I recently became aware of Madison and was an instant fan of her music. True musical artistry.
Love Madison's music and thanks for the interview...she is Brilliant!!!!
She absolutely is ;-)
Thank you for the interview, both of you guys!❤
Thanks for watching!
Madison is incredible! So excited to see that you worked on an interview together. Thanks again Pablo, and thanks to Madison for sharing so eloquently.
Thanks for checking it out, Ronan!
as a guitar player I love it....
Likewise but I also agree! When I stop trying to do that ‘guitar thing’ it is all so much better!
How did I miss this episode! Love Madison. And I've just also subscribed to the audio podcast. Thanks for this, Pablo (and Madison!).
Thank you for that, Pablo! Amazing interview.
This interview is fascinating.
Thank you David!
Klasse! Immer wieder schön zu sehen, wie breit dein musikalisches Interesse aufgestellt ist.
🙏
Excellent, as always.
thank you Karl
Your smile when the augmented chord happens 😂
😅
Fun episode, thank you Pablo!
Thanks Andrea! Fun indeed!!
wonderful pablo. I was just listening to her as you uploaded this. Thank you.
also is your eye ok?
@@henry_cameron Hey! Thanks for asking! I had a sty for a couple of days but it went back shortly after this interview.
The best interview!
Whoa thanks 🙏
@@PabloHeldmusic seriously! Your deep respect, empathy, walking the line of talking and expressing an opinion but not being opinionated, deep musical knowledge and applied to the ‘why it has effect on humans’.
You were born to ask the questions just like Madison was born to do her thing.
Great interview, thanks
🙏
Again, so lovely and worthy, Pablo (and Madison). Can you try this same thing with Kate Stables (aka This Is The Kit) and Charlie Parr, by & by?
Pablo! I have a drum improvisation over Broken Harvest if you want to check it out hehe
Lovely interview! Such an amazing mind!
What kind of crazy person thinks she SHOULDN"T have released Last Boat to Freedom?? (1:15:50) What an incredible song.
…and I must add: THANK YOU for doing this, Pablo. What an enjoyable discussion with MC. She’s honest, sincere, and obviously so incredibly heavy!
The "solo" (piano and voice) version of that song is one of my favorites of hers... (But really there are so many.. ).. Such a wonderful and amazing talent..🎶❣️👍
@@richardgleichmann7671 yes, I love that version too.
INVENTING THE WHEEL .... I mean WOW ! ...... just that, WOW ! 🙏
YES!!
🎉
“….‘cause if you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there”….
I like how she so often includes dissonance in her performances
Dissonance is like dynamics! You can do something super soft and weird, but then when it goes heavy and loud, it makes it that much more impactful!
I think Judee Sill's "The Donor" is her greatest track, by far - but nearly impossible to cover well. She herself was probably the reason for her failures - she caused her own downfall.
