The Amorphic Process of Hardware Songwriting

video upload by EZBOT

"In this video, we dive into the unique and ever-evolving process of music creation. Don't be fooled, complexity isn't always the key to a hit track. Embrace the basics, keep it simple and let the music tell its story. Remember, there's no need to fear the basic ideas. Simple concepts can often turn into your greatest hits! Your need for complexity shouldn't ruin a good song. Remember, there's no need to fear the basic ideas. Simple concepts can often turn into your greatest hits!
