Mies is widely credited with the saying, “God is in the Details.” This notion is as applicable to your music as it is to architecture. Paying attention to every detail can move a listener from “Hey, that song is pretty good” to “This music is incredible”— so compelling, in fact, that they are willing to spend their hard-earned cash to have your music as a part of their life.
