But I'm pretty sure this music is pretty much in the middle between Bonkwave and Not Bonkwave to be honest.

I also get the feeling that it's about "owning" the sounds. Like the drums that always ends up being very hip-hop like, and much more low heavy that other music I hear. And then it's just about leaning into it.

Is this a thing where you as an individual traditionally somewhat "hear" only the one building block but somewhat roll (like wave with energy behind it) through it as a group of individuals?

And with this new manner of producing it you have to "make up" more of it yourself, and not always know or "hear" where things are going?

So I'll keep "grinding" (as my gamer-son would say) and make one tune at the time, until I have something that feels just right.

I'm looking much forward to that day!

(I'm 21 sketches in btw...)

Working solely in the box seems like a lot more effort to me, although there are payoffs in terms of control and the ability to tweak things after the fact.

I kind of have to make one building block at the time, and the other tracks are not responsive - like a live musician would be. So if I would like to play or program a bass fill, the drums doesn't automatically follows.

This might sound obvious, but getting used to this feeling has been a massive obstacle for me, and often I get the feeling that "I'm not nearly good enough for making music this way, will anyone hear it?"

An example is transitions.

When you play live with a band, transitions is something you just do. Everybody has a sense of where you are in the form, and you kind of build up to the next phrase together. It's communication in the moment, and I love it.

As a vocalist I have always worked very intuitive and with improvisation as a big element. My concerts are often simple chord progressions, but written to be improvised over, which a lot of attention while playing. No concert are the same, something new happens each time, and I really love it.

But that intuitive way of producing music is completely absent when I work on a computer.

I have been suprised how big the jump has been, but thinking about it, it makes totally sense.

I’m an educated musician. But from an education where you have a main instrument and always play live with others.
