@hosie, workflow wise I might have some specific film footage or vocals in mind as I work on the beat which helps me focus on the kind of vibe I want.
For this one I watched a part of the original then went back to finish off melodic parts.
Other times I might be playing around laying down a melody and get a thought then to which direction I will go in, watch something, then go back and continue to build on that.
So basically unless I have a solid film / theme before hand it often comes to me during the best making process as ideas flood in.
Thanks for listening in and commenting feedback man, appreciate you taking the time.
