This was written over one listen. I didn’t overthink what I was writing; just went into it and mostly described some of what was happening in the song. Probably could’ve written more, but I’m content with the result. Nobuo Uematsu’s … Continue reading

Eriko Imura: Untamed Heart

This was written over four listens, though there was very little done over the first and fourth. I was mostly aiming to describe the song itself and not imagery and I think I did alright with most of that. Eriko … Continue reading

Lauren Bousfield: Fire Sale

With this song I tried to suggest some of what was going on at the surface level but mostly stuck to the imagery I felt was being suggested by the music. Most of this was written over one listen. A … Continue reading

One Thousand Word Challenge 108: Writing Without Music

So right now I thought I’d try writing without playing music, which is something that I don’t often do; not through active attempts to not, but just by not having music playing whilst writing. I’m not sure as to why … Continue reading
