Generate > Curate > Learn

How a Songen loop became a harmonic lesson, and an evolved workflow for generative production.

While I was producing music, I generated a loop in Songen that had just the kind of chord voicings I was looking for.

I wanted to use these chords for the production, so I analyzed the MIDI notes to deconstruct the voicings and learned to play them on my Native Instruments keyboard.

Then, I re-recorded the chords with my own style and timing.

This way, the music creation process also became a learning process.

Generative Music supercharges production, but it also acts as a powerful tool for harmonic discovery.

An evolved workflow is now: Generate > Curate > Learn.
