@mythopoetica That's even more interesting! For me, composing was something mostly that happened "under the hood." I'm largely aphantastic, and started out also as the musical equivalent of that, unable to really hear much in the way of music in my head. I can do melodies now, but not harmony—

@mythopoetica —at least not really. So all my composing was sort of working out as externalization whatever the hell was forming in some part of my brain not consciously accessible to me? Like... ideas were there, but I encountered them for the first time as I worked them out externally.

@mythopoetica Like, "No, that's not right. There, that's it."
