Dance and wash the dishes with Laetitia Sadier, Peter Zummo, Mabe Fratti and Marie Merlet

Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier talks to Peter Zummo, Mabe Fratti and Marie Merlet about overcoming hurdles, expanding musical ideas and their definitions of originality.

Stereolab founder Laetitia Sadier chats to Mabe Fratti, Peter Zummo, and Zooey鈥檚 Marie Merlet.

French singer, keyboardist, percussionist and trombonist Laetitia Sadier has worked with the likes of Blur, Luna, Deerhoof, Common, Mouse on Mars, and Tyler, The Creator. She鈥檚 asking the guests how they overcome hurdles, how they define originality, expanding musical ideas, and what sparks the creative process.

Answering these tough questions is American composer, trombonist and producer Peter Zummo. He鈥檚 perhaps most famous for his years of work with cellist and producer Arthur Russell, plus the Love of Life orchestra, Flying Hearts, and Lounge Lizards, which saw him create a style that he wryly termed "minimalism plus a whole lot more". Guatemalan cellist, singer, and sound artist Mabe Fratti started playing the cello when she was just eight years old. She released her debut album Pies Sobre la Tierra earlier this year to critical acclaim. And French singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Marie Merlet completes the line-up. You might also know her as Iko Cherie; she also makes up one half of French duo Zooey with Matthieu Beck, and used to be in the French post-rock band Monade with host Laetitia.
