Q: I was supposed to be listening to music and studying and then just did a bad thing played. 3 minutes of pure groove :). my question is how do you do basslines? like the bassline at "it's a sad mad and bad glad dream" as far as I can tell goes c# f# g#. what made you make the bassline ascend when the rest of the melodies were descending? is this something that "just happens" when writing music?
A: i'm not sure if i'd agree about those specifics, but yes, music just happens. this is particularly annoying to those of us who've ever wanted to pin it down to an exact science
