Before the Apprenticeship

After the Apprenticeship

Staring at a blank DAW screen waiting for inspiration.

Knowing exactly how to start and finish a song.

Using generic chord progressions that feel lifeless.

Writing deeply emotive, modal chord progressions.

Clicking in boring leads and bass that follow the chords.

Composing unforgettable melodies and counterpoint.

Importing the overused drum loops that everyone uses.

Crafting original drum beats that enhance the groove.

Relying on copied & pasted loops that sound predictable.

Programming dynamic and captivating arrangements.

Being led by your ear so you always get predictable tracks.

Being guided by theory so you end up with unique songs.

Stumbling along with haphazard trial-and-error approach.

Flowing through projects with Song-Whispering method.
