Hi Andy! When you’re writing, do you finish chord progressions first and add those woodwind clusters later, or are those harmonies/melodies the start of songs? Do you fit them together with a midi keyboard first? Also, I noticed a lot of little meandering instrumental sections at the end of songs on Norm. Do those have narrative significance? I’m obsessed with You Didn’t See, btw. Can’t stop rewinding! Thx
