Q: how do you go about harmonizing people? (like paul and the weather lady)
A: first i find all the notes. speech is kind of crazy, a lot of notes are actually big swoops, so you have to make a lot of decisions on what to say the notes are. then you have to go through and decide how the chords should go, and i have no way of explaining how i do that. there are a billion ways of doing it, and it's really like writing. you have to find a way to paint a musical picture out of the nonsense. it's a really crazy task, and you have to think of the big picture
