Song Bits 01 - How I Unwind & Stay Creative

It's important to have a way to unwind and decompress at the end of the day. For me, it's making what I call a Song Bit.

At the end of the day I go into my home studio and write whatever I feel like. I don't have a goal or plan, I just sit down and write. These are usually 1 to 2 minute “bits" of music that go nowhere, but sometimes they are the start of something bigger.

I usually start with a basic idea like a drum beat, chord progression, or lead, and then build on this initial idea until I have a few other elements. Once I have a good amount of ideas to work with I arrange them into a Song Bit.

Below is the first of these Song Bits that I’ve shared with anyone. I hope you enjoy and if you have a way to unwind at the end of the day, let me know with a comment below.
