How do you find yourself developing the background music for your music videos? Do you write out the vocals first and then design the accompanying background music around that, or do you go a different route?
what i get during the writing process is like the version of it that 1 person could perform and sing at a keyboard. including some of the more prominent and memorable non-vocal parts, if applicable. including knowing the exact tempo and road map. that's how the writing goes. for production it's temp ints then vocs then delete the temp insts and do the rest of the insts in sort of a brew cocktail mode that combines the whole instrumental arrangement/recording process together, given that i already know how the song goes based on how the writing process went before. occasionally checking back to the writing for reference
