Seth Mowshowitz is a neurodivergent father of 2 neurodivergent children and the benevolent dictator of Leeds music collective & now community group Fold. He has as many nationalities as he has limbs.

He’s a designer with 25 years’ experience. He’s a big picture thinker.

He’s a self-employed music producer & performer, teacher, web & print designer and web developer.

Seth does a lot of different things for work, none of which pay terribly well because most involve music. He makes & performs music (mostly as the head / founder of a group called Fold), he teaches music and promotes music.

Last year he was awarded funding to run a music production workshop for young people facing barriers, which at the time of recording he was (or at least he was when he sent me the email with this copy) 4 sessions into. In Seth’s capacity as a designer he freelances for a charity called Amyloidosis UK. He also helps out with his partner’s disabled son as a career when needed.

Seth says, “I’m doing this interview mainly in my capacity as the guy from Fold because that role best represents who I am and what I’m trying to achieve in my work. As it says in our bio we aim to amplify humanitarian perspectives & critical reflections on today’s world through our music”.

About the Podcast

Working Hours
The Story of Work in Leeds in the 2020s
What do you do?
Western Studios, Leeds presents Working Hours: a podcast series surveying the people of Leeds on their thoughts and feelings on the topic of work. I want to talk to my city about work. Why do we do it? Do we like it? What could we do differently? What will we? How does work change and how does it change us?
Leeds, the largest city in the largest county on the UK mainland, is a former imperial textile centre and is now a major UK financial centre. This series will document the city’s experiences through Lockdown, Brexit, creeping technological unemployment, new and continuing resource wars, the ongoing dismantling of the welfare state and our accelerating ecological emergency.
If you are in Leeds or from Leeds then help me to reach my target of interviewing 1000 Loiners over the 2020s. Let me ask you, what do you do?
