A Composition Seed with Dr. Brian Campbell

from Composer Quest: A Songwriting and Music Composition Podcast Hosted by Dr. Brian Campbell

I felt like I was right back in a composition lesson with Dr. Brian Campbell, my former CSB/SJU music professor, when I interviewed him for this episode of Composer Quest. As always, he imparted plenty of wisdom, this time about writing music from a single “seed” and developing that idea. We also talk about form, writing melodies, “robot composers,” and using the Japanese aesthetic of “ma” – silence.
