Pomp and Circumstance – Composer Quest LIVE! | 52 Cues Podcast, 2025 Week 19
In this week’s episode of the 52 Cues Podcast, Dave hosted a special Composer Quest livestream featuring community-made reimaginings of “Pomp and Circumstance.” With styles ranging from orchestral and cinematic to ska, chipmunk-glitch, and lo-fi, the episode celebrated the wildly inventive spirit of the 52 Cues community. Each cue reflected a personal creative vision, and the star-based voting system gave listeners a chance to engage meaningfully with the music. As one composer shared, a last-minute rush unlocked unexpected creativity—perfectly echoing this week’s featured quote from Miles Davis: “Don’t be afraid of mistakes. There are none.” In a field where perfectionism often looms large, this Composer Quest reminded everyone that boldness, not flawlessness, is the real engine of artistry.
