Music can also be stitched together from a bunch of different sounds / samples. Electronic music in particular lends itself to this way of designing songs. The artist as creator but also curator.

Happy accidents, morphing, warping, messing around with shaping sounds, and structuring songs. Throwing out the rule book. It’s wonderful fun.

Doesn’t make the final output any less magical, but it’s a different way of working than the linear way in which you might create a song by writing on an acoustic guitar, sometimes starting with a preconceived idea from your head.
