Everything starts from a seed. Sometimes it's a guitar riff. Sometimes it's a chord progression. Sometimes it's a vocal hook I thought of in the shower. Sometimes it's a theory experiment, like "can I write something super poppy with a diminished chord in the verse?" One time I recorded myself swinging a coaxial cable around my head as hard as I could and then tried to "finish" the track by adding stuff to complement it.
