There are three ps that come with a career in music and no, we don’t mean pianississimo!

Practice. Performance. Pressure.

In every aspect of a musician’s career there is an undeniable element of pressure. This week Alex and Helen dig into the different types of pressure musicians experience, from self-applied pressure to pressure exerted by colleagues and friends. They talk about both the bad and good effects of pressure, considering how in some cases performers can even benefit from a little pressure. They offer you their top tips on how best to deal with pressure, encouraging you to focus on the present moment and to trust that it’s more about the entire artistic process than the end product.

Edited and produced by Daisy Grant Productions.

Vic and Argmon are just trying to make a simple delivery, albeit while being chased by the local fuzz. They pick up an unexpected stowaway on their planet to planet run.
