Music & Words
I’ve been trying to fold words into music (and vice versa) ever since I began putting lyrics to my tunes in my early 20s. Songwriting is, of course, just that: the art of making words get along with melody, harmony, rhythm, and musical form.
My newly released app—”Blues, Preludes & Feuds”—attempts something like that. But, at least in this initial release, there are no lyrics, no vocals, no songs to be sung.
