“I've also learned to only write songs and melodies that really work for my voice and that I won't have issues doing live.

“There are only five notes in the musical scale, but their variations are so many that they cannot all be heard. There are only five basic colors, but their variations are so many that they cannot all be seen. There are only five basic flavors, but their variations are so many that they cannot all be tasted. There are only two kinds of charge in battle, the unorthodox surprise attack and the orthodox direct attack, but variations of the unorthodox and the orthodox are endless.

It's very simple as a way of generating something. It's my inner minimalist.” IfsWayUseSimpleWhiteFivePiecesGroupsNotesSevenNinePianoRepeatsFormulasSectionsMinimalist Author:Brian Eno
