Left vs Right Brain Thinking for Composers


Lateralization of brain function is the idea that our cognitive processes are generally divided into the two hemispheres of our brain - the “left brain” being more analytical, logical, and language oriented; whereas the “right brain” is typically associated with imagination, intuition, and emotion.

So we’re going to explore the intersection of neuroscience and composition and talk about how we can apply these concepts to our work in production music on this week’s episode of the 52 Cues Podcast.

Plus I give feedback on a playful orchestral tension cue written by 52 Cues Community member, Omar Blyde.
