Highlights:
00:29 Developing small ideas into powerful themes that help bring the artist’s vision to life
02:12 Discovering, dissecting, and reconstructing melodies and vocal hooks
07:50 The lost artform of the bassline you can sing
09:18 Using drums & percussion for a surprising vibe; Referencing traditional influences in non-traditional ways
14:30 Playing with adlibs to create ear candy “effects”; Using space to create powerful vocals
22:22 Malay’s Lead Vocal Chain for raw, honest vocals that preserve the spirit of the artist’s original vision; Adding emotion-driven automation to effects for a human feel
27:00 Drawing from unexpected inspirations can help you find a new sound that hits in the same way as your inspirations without sounding like everyone else
