Q: I particularly enjoy how some pieces included in your video are built harmony-wise. I wonder, not ever having a chance to compose myself, which way the music is created: whether you think in harmonic functions, and then you think about the melodic line, or is it the opposite: you harmonise the tune that you've put together beforehand?
A: melody is always boss of the operation. actually melody and lyric together are the boss of the operation. then harmonize as needed
