In this Charting Tracks episode, we continue our discussion on music creation and delve deeper into the creative process and explore concepts such as “TAMTIFTL” (Timing, hArmony, Melody, Tonality, Instrumentation / Timbre, Form / Structure, Texture, Lyric).
We also discuss the elements that go into music creation both emotional and phycological and learn how tension/release, repetition, change all play a part in the musical journey and what elements actually make up a song.
