As a filmeditor I know this concept from editing. Normally you go from rough cut to fine editing to picture lock. anf then colorgrading, sound mixing, mastering…
Absolutely - obviously there might be some different constraints depending on the collaborators and the project, but in general I imagine the concept / analogy translates well!
Yes, it makes sense. But sometimes I need to polish my improvisation first, I need to get an absolute trust in it, before it will be clear what to do next with this idea.
Yeah, that's fair enough! I think once we build experience and form an understanding of how we like to operate, we all find our own unique creative process (which will change over time, too). I do find many people can get bogged down early in their journey by being too detailed early on though.
This is great. Resist the urge to polish too early!
Thanks Joe!
Great analogy. The longer I’ve made music the more I embrace the demo and early stage. Don’t rush to polish until the ingredients are there.
I also write about making music
Cool, have subscribed - great to find some fellow writers in the music space on Substack!
I think that this approach is so useful for all creatives!
Agreed! Bit of a mindset shift to start with perhaps, but worth it.

True words!!
Thanks Lisa!

Thanks Jeff!

Yeah good point, great software development teams are pros at that approach, rapid prototyping is a good way of thinking about it!
