About this listen

From Injury to Innovation — Telmakus’ Journey Is Unlike Anything You’ve Heard. In this inspiring episode of Jazz Lab, I sit down with pianist, producer, and sonic visionary Telmakus to explore a creative journey shaped by both genius and adversity.

After losing the ability to use his hands due to a rare genetic disorder (EDS), Telmakus did something few artists would even attempt — he began composing with his toes. What followed is a body of work that’s both emotionally raw and musically extraordinary.

We talk about:

-Why creative limitations are Telmakus’ greatest strength
-His system for developing a true musical voice
-Composing without hands — and the album that came from it
-Turning pain into power: How he found resilience through music
-Exclusive preview of his upcoming record "Eight Ring Revival"
-Voicing tricks, form-building methods, and beat-first songwriting
-A powerful live exercise: improvising full stories at the piano
