Maurice Rickard is one of the most prolific musicians and
composers I have ever met. He is constantly creating. He's also one
of the calmest people I know, so I was shocked when he told me that
he had battled anxiety his entire life. We talked about how drone
music and staying constantly creatively engaged has helped him to
focus his mind and stay on top of his periodic bouts of
anxiety.
You can check out his absolutely voluminous body of work at the
