Annie-Rose Maloney won’t rehearse unless the whole band eats together first
Annie-Rose Maloney has a simple ethos when it comes to writing a song: it must have a pulse, it must feel nice to sing, and it must bear a truthfulness about our human experiences. We talked about the mixed bag of emotions that come with releasing music, the decisions she’s had to make to be uncompromising with her art and the nourishment that comes from growing her own food and sharing meals with her bandmates during rehearsals. The seven songs on Circle Walking are all tethered by being grounded in deep truth, and came out “a bit like an exhale - I almost always cried when I wrote them.” It was written over many years without any set intention, songs often blooming subconsciously from a seed of a lyric, or melody line - “I tended to let things reveal themselves to me. Like an archaeologist uncovering a hidden and delicate treasure.” Annie-Rose's recipe is a garden pie, which is packed full of any veggies you have around, in crispy filo pastry.You can find Annie-Rose Maloney's Garden Pie recipe on our website!Find us @whatartistseat on Instagram and our website www.whatartistseat.com.au Hosted on Acast.

Writer Rochelle Siemienowicz oscillates between devotion and rebellion
Rochelle Siemienowicz grew up as a strict Seventh Day Adventist. Her first experiences of art (particularly writing) was the bible. In terms of food, she went through a renaissance in culinary life when she left the church and was in her early 20’s. Her latest novel ‘Double Happiness’ is a love story loosely inspired by her own journey of polyamory.“The journey of writing this latest book has been one of learning to set boundaries and learning to priortise my own need to create over other people’s needs” - she says.Rochelle believes that food and art are both about nourishment of the body and the soul, sharing, expressing one's individuality, and sometimes for her: rebellion.
