You mention trying to combine song and scene a lot. Any reason(s) it's such a challenge? Anything that would make it easier to achieve? Is the medium to express it just not right?
the challenge of merging song and scene is that sometimes the songs just happen in bits. bits that would never work outside the context of the scenes. the challenge is to do it in a way that the song fits perfectly in the scene but ALSO is a playable entity on its own. a song that can survive on its own, without the scene(s). i doubt anyone's gonna want to have "but then cortez came and smashed it" on their playlist
