so... when i make music, i don't really know what i'm doing. i just stack notes in a certain way in a certain order until it sounds the way i want it to. i'm not sure if this is a very efficient strategy. should i try to actually think ahead about what the chords and rhythms are before putting them down? if so (or maybe even if not), how do i get better at analyzing that sort of stuff?
if you like the results you are getting, then surely you're fine. if you're getting restless and want to try something different, then i'm sure there are different ways. i'm not totally sure i understand exactly what way you're doing it, but, ....... at its best, music is usually a magical force that wants to come flying at you in real time. which is always a challenge because to really catch it properly it requires that you can somehow capture it as quickly as it comes. this is a frustrating but magically exciting phenomenon that most writers (music or non) surely must befriend, throughout their life
