Collaboration Unit/Creative Process.

In today’s session we had a meeting on the track we are collaborating on. We had a discussion on making the track shorter as it was too long for an average song. There were suggestions on adding more lyrics on the 1st verse, but there was a misunderstanding on what I was explaining, as I said there was no need to add another 8 bar for the verse. I negotiated with my classmate Enoch on taking his verse of the 1st verse and removing the other 8 bars that we didn’t need.
