I am amazed by the intro; it is so mysterious with an aura of great magnitude. The song is very beautiful and elegant, and it reminds me of flowing rivers—very relaxing. You are clearly an immensely skilled musician, and I was truly shocked and amazed when I clicked play on your song!

@Thomaisho what is your system for organizing your workflow for music projects?

@Thomaisho what elements do you value most in music, and why?

Thomaisho responds:

@Aalasteir Oh wow thank you very much! I really appreciate the kind words :)

In terms of organizing my workflow, I typically start by finding the right chords and chord progressions that give the feel I’m looking for. I’ll build the layers and add instruments one by one, usually one section at a time. Drums and percussion are usually worked on after the meat and bones are created, and I try to find a nice melody along the way. Honestly, most of the time I just create beginning to end with little preplanning. It’s all about the emotion and texture to me, and my brain just adapts and spills it all out as I go. Sometimes I hyperfocus so much with creating that I’m up by 4am in the morning wondering where the time went! Haha

The elements I value most in music are how instruments are given a voice. I feel that each facet of a track plays an important role, and letting each part sing really gets me excited!

I value those satisfying buildups and transitions that resonate raw emotion. I love letting out a good cry or an ecstatic giggle in awe of how I felt what the artist probably intended me to.

I value harmonies in music quite a bit as well. When they all come together and flow into one another, it’s just so pleasing to the ears and gets me singing or humming along to em! I always appreciate good harmonies. They tend to display great originality and emotion to me personally. Oh! And portamentos.. pitch bending and portamentos really get me emotional when used right, and I personally love using them quite often :)

Thank you again, I hope you’re having a wonderful day/night ❤️

1:55 and beyond was my favorite part for some reason. idk, what you did there was immaculate even if it was only a few seconds

Thomaisho responds:

Thank you very much! Just another element I felt would be needed in the moment :)

This is so magical and happy, I love it! The longer the song goes on, the further and deeper it feels. You definitely captured that lingering feeling, but not the scary kind of lingering, rather the hearty/fluttery linger if that makes sense haha. Beautiful choice of instruments, beautiful progression, and absolutely amazing melody. Keep up the amazing work!!

Thomaisho responds:

Thank you so much!

Yeah, something was on my mind when initially making this. I couldn't pinpoint the feeling, so I suppose this is a representation of that :)

Thank you for your kind words ❤️
