For ERICKOSCAR, every song starts the same way: with the words. He writes all of his own lyrics, then picks up his acoustic guitar and plays the song until it lands on the rhythm he wants. From there, he uses music-production software with AI to select vocals and other instruments, shaping the arrangement to create the emotion he wants from his lyrics and his guitar. The method keeps the story at the center, and the music built around it is always, in his phrase, in service of the lyric.
