My mic cord is all messed up so I can’t record, which is helpful since I keep writing songs and having no way to … record them. This is dire! Thankfully, I keep notes.
Example:
Ooh ooh ooh – 12 beats including last ooh – awaken my little bats,
Then,
Actually 20 beats!
And finally,
Wait no, 15! 15!
I dither as a professional courtesy to myself. If the last change doesn’t work, I have at the least 2 other beats to try. Usually it’s at least four other options, I was being lazy this time.
I should scan notes some times because I have fun coming up with little doodles and drawings that mean musical things in my head. I could learn how to read and write music, but I already have a system in place. I’d hate to confuse things/myself.
