HOW TO MAKE MUSIC BY ABSOFACTO
Preface
How to Make Music By Absofacto is a living book that allows me to share my personal ideas on making music with you. My goal is that How To Make Music becomes an inspiring and powerful tool for you.
Note on Style
I will present ideas in as concise a manner as possible. This may create a stark tone, but I think this is important. Creating music is inherently abstract, and your creative self is inherently complex. Building a strong relationship between the two is even more complex. How to Make Music (HTMM) aims to be a clarifying force to help you reduce the complexity for yourself.
"I Think" and "I Believe"
This entire book is just my opinion; I am not presenting it as indisuputable fact. To stay concise, I'm going to mostly avoid saying "I think" and "I believe." Please read the book remembering that you should keep what works for you and disregard what doesn't.
Stay Grounded in Why
Staying connected to purpose is the key to having control over our decision making. I will often include why I'm sharing an idea, rather than just sharing the idea itself.
