A song finished after 20 years, and a playlist I'd like you to listen to along with it.

How I approach music production with Claude. In this note, where I introduce my trial-and-error process, today I will be introducing the 16th song.

About this song: Enough

Following the previous track, Cross, this one is also based on a song I wrote 20 years ago. The way I finished it is the same as last time: I took the song from back then and gave it shape in my current production environment.

The track consists of nine elements, including two electric pianos, a pad, strings, and ambient sounds. At first glance, it might seem like a lot of sounds, but I have the feeling that 'only the necessary sounds are included.' I don't want to add anything, nor do I want to cut anything. If any of them were missing, the song wouldn't hold together. When it reaches that state, I feel the song is complete.

A playlist I'd like you to listen to along with it

One thing that has changed since then is the music I've listened to over the years. The music I've loved and listened to finds its way into what I create, even without me being conscious of it. I think that influence is present in this song as well.

So today, I've put together a playlist of some of the songs I've listened to in the past and the ones I'm listening to now. I've also been particular about the track order. I've placed 'Enough' as the first track, so I would be happy if you could listen to it along with the rest.

All songs are available on Apple Music, so if you use Apple Music, please listen there.
