    Meditative Story Transcript – Larry Jackson Click here to listen to the full Meditative Story with Larry Jackson. LARRY JACKSON: It’s funny, because my job as a music producer, an A&R executive, ​ ​ is to go out and find the best material – songs, songwriters, producers – and the best up-and-coming artists, and bring them together, and then will them into success. The job is entirely predicated upon finding things that aren’t yet in their fully realized form and bringing them into existence. I’m literally in the business of manifesting, I suppose. Discovering and unearthing – and again, manifesting. ROHAN GUNATILLAKE: Behind every great artist there are all sorts of people whose own ​ dedication and creativity enable the stars to be the stars. Larry Jackson is one of those people. From his start in the music industry at the age of 11 to his current role as Global Creative Director at Apple Music, there aren’t many people who know more about how great music is made than Larry. In this series, we blend immersive, first-person stories with mindfulness prompts to help you restore yourself at any time of the day. I’m Rohan, and I’ll be your guide on this episode of Meditative Story. From time to time, we’ll pause the story ever so briefly for me to come in with guidance to enhance your experience as you listen. I hope these prompts will be helpful to you. And let’s take a moment now to settle in before we hear from Larry. Letting whatever thoughts and feelings are around be around, letting them be here.

Darude has been in the game for over 15 years and has helped to shape the trance scene with his mega hit “Sandstorm” that still to this day is a household name in EDM. The Finnish producer is a veteran of the electronic scene in general and one of the longest lasting producers out there. Having released 3 studio albums and numerous singles over his career, Darude has kept busy with over 5 million record sales. Darude was recently given a breath of fresh air thanks to the “Darude – Sandstorm” meme that plagues social media everywhere, even going so far as to make it back into the Top Dance Charts (http://www.youredm.com/2014/12/09/sandstorm-makes-it-back-into-the-charts-almost-15-years-later/).
