Q: sometimes in your songs you have a real short lil toot from a trumpet that seems to happen only once in the entire song, what is your thought process when you add this?
A: the first time i did that it was the result of a random instrument selection system. you randomly select an instrument and then you are responsible for searching through the entire song and see where it could possibly fit. early on in the implementation of this system, a trumpet sound came up and i was thinking "how the heck is this going to fit anywhere" but i searched through and i found 1 spot, probably in the second verse or something, where a tiny little horn stab seemed to fit after one of the lines, probably on an up-beat or something. really added some spice, and it makes your music sound more expensive, because it almost makes it sound like you have the budget to pay a horn section to show up just for that one hit
