UCSB Arts & Lectures – José Gonzales & Rob Moose seminar 3/10/16 Music Dept. Kerr Studio

Swedish singer-songwriter phenom José Gonzales talked about his songwriting method, how it takes him as long as a year to complete a song, and the lyrics come last. The music and the melody percolate for a long time before he adds words. Part of a fascinating seminar with UCSB Music Dept. students in a composition class. Rob Moose of yMusic also added insights to the business and art of composing and arranging. Presented by the outreach portion of UCSB’s Arts & Lectures program.
