In this episode, Frank shares how he stopped overthinking intervals and started using his keyboard or guitar as a simple visual tool to speed up his workflow. He explores the difference between writing inside scales versus composing with intervals — and how blending both approaches can bring uniqueness and familiarity to your music. You’ll also hear practical tips for applying interval thinking in your own compositions, whether you’re scoring for film, games, or just experimenting.
