As a person who has a pretty short attention span I think of music like that, completely. That's why I can quite happily change genres mid-song.
ThighpaulsandraI still use a lot of cut-ups, I physically cut-up pieces of paper and stick them all together on another piece of paper then I'll think, "Ah, that looks good," or shuffle them around a bit and then I'll photocopy it and then that's my lyrics.
ThighpaulsandraI'm not a great fan of people who suddenly manage to pull out the whole track sounding perfect from a laptop. That doesn't feel like any kind of show to me.
