Seven Minus Two
Guided introspections with creatives and artists — five voices at a time.
What is this?
Seven Minus Two is a monthly podcast and video series that captures the creative state of mind.
Each episode revolves around one topic — like limits, intuition, or restlessness — and brings together five perspectives from across the creative spectrum.
You’ll be asked to reflect on that theme through conversation, in a quiet, documentary-style setting — recorded in your favorite environment.
What to Expect as a Guest
- We meet in your chosen spot — your studio, apartment, or a place where you feel comfortable.
(Please avoid locations that are too loud, as we need to capture clean audio.) - The session includes a 30-minute setup followed by a 60-minute recording.
- No scripted questions — you’ll receive a short list of keywords ahead of time to give you a feel for the topic.
- The conversation is filmed on MiniDV tape, using a tripod and natural light.
- We also capture documentary footage of the space — how you work, move, and think.
- At the beginning, you’ll handwrite the name of the show and a word that’s on your mind — this may become the episode title.
- A Polaroid photograph will be taken and signed by you (with your name and the date). It becomes the visual cover of your episode.
- Your voice may appear across multiple themed episodes.
- You’re welcome to share short excerpts once the episode is published.
The Vibe
- Calm, curious, and intimate
- We begin every recording with the same prompt:
“What’s your mood today?” - No performance. No promotion. Just presence.
