How to Write a Song in Two Hours (eBook)

Do you struggle to finish music? Are you trying to discover your personal style? Would you like to tap into your ideas and creativity faster?

The solution is lowering the stakes and iterating faster.

This book distills 8 years of experience doing the Two Hour Track Challenge every week into advice on being creative under pressure and learning through doing.

Anyone can do the challenge. Heck, you could open your software, set a timer, and make a song. That’s literally the whole thing.

However, these tips offer a map. They contain wisdom and techniques to navigate the thicket of creativity under pressure. They pinpoint creative traps and offer inspiration during droughts. They reveal the rewards that can only be found through challenging yourself.

This book is not a “one weird trick” gimmick. Writing music will continue to involve work and effort. But intentional work. Work with meaning, purpose, and direction.

Challenging yourself is a commitment to grow and evolve as an artist. To take a hard look at who you are and where you want to go. To put in the reps and push through the friction that life presents. To become more than you were yesterday.

This book is also short. I love short books. They are great for quick motivation or reference. This isn’t the place for random personal stories to pad out time.

Let’s make some cool stuff together.
