01:39All these words, which are the nomenclature of the words used to describe music.
01:44Now, music is the pleasure of sound.
01:47They're delivering the pleasure of sound.
01:49And that's what we're trying to result it in.
01:51You balance those two things, you know.
01:53Like, I'm working on a project now with a friend, a beautiful friend.
01:57And he gave me this idea.
01:58He's, you know, he's at home like the rest of us.
02:01And we're locked down.
02:03And he wants to extend his humanity to the rest of his human fellows.
02:08So he has a thought of humanity.
02:12And he expressed that to me.
02:14And he says, let's make a song that embraces the human race so that we can have an ideal future.
02:22So we can help one another and care for one another.
02:24It was a beautiful, ideally stated thing.
02:27And so we began to write a song from that.
02:29It was a concept.
02:30Then it came to a musical concept, which was, let's write a grooving vamp and write a melody that people can sing.
02:37So that was that concept.
02:39Now, that's got to turn into music.
02:41And it's not necessary for me to think too much about more than that.
02:46That's enough of a concept.
02:48So you balance that theory.
02:50You come up with some music.
02:52And that's, to me, the balance of theory and music.
02:56I mean, I would suggest whatever your instrument is, is learning how all the, all the, if you were going to use the 12 notes of this Western scale.
03:07I would suggest learning all about them.
03:11Like, learn, learn all you can about how these notes are put together.
03:15And, and then, and then you have your, we have incredible references that go all the way back to Johann Sebastian Bach.
03:26And Mozart, all of the great classical composers, they wrote their notes down.
03:30So you have all of that as reference.
03:32You have all of YouTube giving you reference about people who didn't write their notes down.
03:37Then you have all of the recordings of our great jazz music and Latino music of the 20th century and the 21st century.
03:45And you have all of this information that you can take as inspirations.
03:52You can transcribe stuff.
03:56You get into it, learn all you can.
03:59That'd be the theory of how you take these 12 notes and make beautiful songs.
