In this episode, I present “Music Tools for the Indie Artist”, a topic that I recently presented to a local songwriting group.  Specifically, I present the tools and process I use to capture and preserve those moments of musical inspiration–no matter whether they strike while I’m in the car, working out, or sleeping.  I breakdown the process I use to capture both lyric and music inspired ideas.  You can’t choose when your muse delivers a moment of inspiration, and you need to be ready when it strikes.  I show you how I make sure never to lose a great idea.

In addition, I provide an overview of my controlled environments–that is, places where I can consciously sit down to create, develop, or record a song idea (for example, a writing space, a practice space, a recording space, etc.).  I provide an overview of the tools I find helpful and a description of how they all fit together in my songwriting process.

Note:  Make sure to check out the slides from this episode–several of them provide graphic descriptions of my process which makes it easier to understand.  You can download the slides here:
