Like did you do 2hrs three days a week every month, or did you only do it when you found the time? | i don't see how learning music would ever work on a scheduled basis. i have only heard "i hated it and quit" stories from people who have tried to do it that way. it's like a drug. you do it and you get obsessed. then maybe you get obsessed with something else, and that's ok too. i learned most of the basics when i was very young, like 2 to 10 years old, but i also spent long periods of time on other things, like drums, card tricks, whatever |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-05.html | how do you go about harmonizing people? (like paul and the weather lady) | first i find all the notes. speech is kind of crazy, a lot of notes are actually big swoops, so you have to make a lot of decisions on what to say the notes are. then you have to go through and decide how the chords should go, and i have no way of explaining how i do that. there are a billion ways of doing it, and it's really like writing. you have to find a way to paint a musical picture out of the nonsense. it's a really crazy task, and you have to think of the big picture |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-05.html | so you don't rework harmonies, melodies, or lyrics after you've written them down? | i didn't before 2011. but starting in 2011 my writing process changed drastically. now i write using a mix of text files and quick audio recordings. and i try out lots of different things, and eventually finalize it. i also don't really use paper anymore. but the song (melody, chords, and escpecially the road map) needs to be final before the recording process, or else it really falls apart. |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-05.html | why don't you write songs longer than 4 minutes? | let's focus on getting much more of the ones in the 0:10 - 3:30 range recorded first. we are way behind in that area. generally the reason i haven't written longer than 4min is because when you get beyond that range, it really becomes an epic journey -- and at that point it might as well be a video journey |
