Looking for composers and indie musicians to follow.
Sifted through the #composing tag already.
Any other suggestion?

Yup, reduce some frictions and you introduce new ones (or new problems).

β€œto a point of almost obstinance” is a key phrase here.

How about playing a CMaj7(9) instead of a F#5+/9- (or C7) in Georgie Porgie’s chorus?

You probably should tell the bass player to play a C instead of the usual F# (unless you want something spicy).

Connect device to Bluetooth speaker. Play cool song and crank up the volume. Get in the shower. 2 minutes in, the speaker starts beeping because the battery is down. You are in the shower, wet. What do you do?
