PlusIt was fascinating to gain insights into how a successful song is produced. While I had hoped for more discussion on general arrangement techniques and how to build emotion through them, it was still highly engaging to see a deep dive into the production of a single track.

PlusFue una experiencia única el escuchar la subjetividad de una persona que evidentemente entiende y siente la música desde el corazón y no tanto desde la razón, esta clase de material inspira porque abre el panorama y nos devuelve a las apreciaciones que se han perdido por las tendencias de la modernidad. Mil gracias Alejo.
