khoảng ít hơn 20 ngày Michael Guy Bowman ✑ Michael Guy Bowman Talks About His Homestuck Music, adapted to text

"How much has your process changed between Mobius Trip and earlier works, and Ulterior Motives?" You know, aside from like, the software changes, I think I have experimented with - doing things in different orders. Some of the time I was doing things with, like, intention to produce the beat, or come up with the instrumentation or something first, and sometimes I was doing things lyrically first, and trying to have um, a song written in an instrument. Actually, lately, since Ulterior Motives, coming up on this new album - that's been the main focus, is to move over from trying to do things with any production idea really in place, and have complete demos, just like a normal singer-songwriter, and then go in and start arranging them as if you're in the studio, and be your own producer.

[...] "When writing music with lyrics, do you write music-first or lyric-first?" Yeah, see, that's why I was like, so nuanced on the other answer. Because you already know - sometimes, I do one or the other. But these days, I would say when I'm writing "lyric first", what I mean to say is that I'm writing lyrics with chords. And sometimes, I have a melody in mind, and I have to like, do settings to the melody - and I think, the challenge for me as a songwriter right now, comes from the synthesis of that - saying, here's the format, and how do you better fit the format? And the result is poetry.

how exactly do you decide on like, the musical style of an album?

This time around I wanted to focus on working just with acoustic guitar and vocals at a couple of open mics, so I based the arrangements on that

And the strongest ideas that emerged early on were sort of fantasy based

So I was conscious of that both as an intent for writing and a guideline for what I picked to refine

And in the end it felt like "Your Majesty" the song was the centerpiece because it's about heroism which unifies the images on the album

Like the colorful characters you might find on an epic adventure

I think I'm sort of conscious of what does and doesn't go together on all of these and picking which ideas to develop is a bit strategic
