As I believe I have mentioned before I find that some of the ideas I have encountered in software engineering can be helpful in my music journey. On my music blog I talk about applying the concept of design patterns to the music creation process i.e. from composition, arrangement to mixing , mastering and publishing. Soup to nuts.

I specifically write about a way of doing an intro to a tune that permeates an idea across the tune all the way to the end. Some of this is based on stuff that I know I have listened to , some of it is I’m sure on stuff that I have listened to but not consciously aware of , is anything really new ?

This pattern has helped me with one of my major issues and that being having a sense for the entire tune.

Some of you all may relate, or at least find it interesting.

Discussion of applying patterns to music I expect hopefully will carry on here.
