#melodie

I have to write the songs before I become too enamored with my own melodies. ↗

By the end of it, you never know how it's going to turn out. Hopefully if I pick the right songs and put the right melodies on it and all the collaboration works out. it's a win-win situation. ↗

When you are accompanying someone, you are listening to them the way you listen to a Bach Chorale, where four parts are going on at the same time, all of which are gorgeous melodies, all being played simultaneously. ↗

So I write melodies - thirty, forty, fifty - then I cast them off until I have just two or three. If only one is needed, I go see the director and ask him to decide. ↗

I like to hear melodies that go from one extreme to the next- saxophone to a bell to a whistle, for instance. ↗

Most of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don't fit in a very interesting way. ↗

There, in the chords and melodies, is everything I want to say. The words just jolly it along. It's always been my way of expressing what for me is inexpressible by any other means. ↗

If you can say the lyrics almost like a poem and they stand up, that's a great thing. Some songs have great lyrics and I don't like the melodies, and vice versa. ↗

But my role is to just apply the skills I've learned over the years: you listen to the guitar, you listen to the vocal melodies, you listen to the rhythm, and you come up with something that helps you take the song somewhere. ↗

My creative process is quite slow. I hear melodies in my head while I'm washing the dishes and I allow my subconscious to do the work. ↗
