Composing Overview
Through years of studio recording and song writing, I came to find out that some of the best parts I ever came up with were from flashing moments of inspiration or creativity. And if the tape deck hadn't been running at that moment, the part would probably not have been discovered again for another 100 years.
Some parts created like this are very simple, but hard to find due to the subtleties that make them stand out from other run-of-the-mill ideas and licks. Bandora was created with this phenomenon in mind. The idea was not to build a program where you told it how every lick should be played, but to build a dynamic system which has the freedom to improvise within a melodic envelope and the ability to capture and arrange those pieces of music.
The following topics discuss various elements of the composing process.
