What did you find to be particularly challenging about composing your own bass line and chord progression?
How did your process work? Did you like to compose your bass line first, or chord progression? Did you edit a lot?
Why did you make the choices you did with the instruments you selected?
What is your favorite part about your “song” as it is, right now?
What KSHH feedback can you give yourself for this week?
