Been a crazy week with my parents declining fast. But i still managed to get 2 sessions done and I am submitting my second one. 8-25 11:02PM -11:32 Name your first three moves 1. Find a chord or melody progression 2. Find a kick hi hat and snare pattern 3. fill in/color the track I stalled, overthinking the second half of the loop and vocal placement (I wanted a different vibe to give a chorus-and-verse feel in 16 bars), but then I did what I do naturally (emotion placement and trying to create a moment they will remember) and felt where they should go.

My first three moves were - finding a drum pattern I felt comfortable with - getting a melody going - filling the rest of the beat The first two sessions I met some friction with creating so I had to make some tweaks to my template. It helped with the overthinking and I was able to get an idea down.

8-25-26 11:03am-11:33am --- Move 1 - Find drums for foundation. Move 2 - Lay guitar chords. Move 3. Stack guitar chords. I stalled on my 4th move, when trying to create a simple but effective melody.

1.My process usually begins with the drums, since I am a percussionist and truly love drums. 2.I then craft a melody(Gibberish) with my voice, different parts i want to spell out like guitar or Bass ideas i would like to hear. i often will have a clear idea or direction I want to take in the project as a whole. 3.However, I recognize that I sometimes get caught up in my own thoughts, overthinking whether I’ve included too much or too little of my intended approach. Y'all Be Blessed!

My 3 opening moves are: 1. Find the melody/loop 2. Put the melody/loop in Simpler so I can maybe chop it 3. Find drums that I feel would go along with the melody I have I always stalled when the time got between 18:00-18:50. That’s when the overthinking comes in. * Music stops after 00:38
