Ep23: Catherine Anne Davies (The Anchoress) on aiming for 40% happiness

Summary: <p>Propelled by the Manic Street Preachers’ lyric “<em>libraries gave us power</em>”, <strong>The Anchoress</strong>(aka Welsh producer and multi-instrumentalist, <strong>Catherine Anne Davies</strong>) is a voracious devourer of words and music. From her early roots as a classically-trained flautist, to her current obsession with vintage synthesizers, Davies has spent much of the last four years developing her writing and engineering skills to become one of the most interesting up-and-coming songwriters and producers in the UK and has collaborated with a variety of artists including the London Philharmonic, Nitin Sawhney, Ed Harcourt, Bernard Butler, Liam Howe and Paul Statham.</p><p>.</p><p>Visit <a href="http://penfriend.rocks/catherine" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">penfriend.rocks/catherine</a> for the posh show notes with links to explore Catherine's work, and visit <a href="http://speakpipe.com/penfriend" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">speakpipe.com/penfriend</a> to contribute to a future episode.</p><p>.</p><p><a href="http://penfriend.rocks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Get two free Penfriend songs when you sign up to my mailing list.</a> Thanks for listening! xo</p><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
