Stop using Spotify. Do not rely on playlists unless it's from a trusted friend. I'm not kidding. If you must be less intentional with your listening and want something new, check out the radio.
We're rapidly approaching the point where people who primarily interface with music via algorithmically generated playlists are going to end up only listening to AI generated music.
In terms of stop lights, "red light" refers to something that means stop. But it in terms of health "red light" is something you should be doing daily, and I like to tell myself in that case it stands for "go, go, go!"
Justin Hurwitz (composer for La La Land, Whiplash, etc.) didn't know how to use a DAW until La La Land. He started learning it during pre-production for the film.
You can learn by doing. You don't need to know how to do things before you start doing the thing.
"Since I don’t read music, I always have to work it all out practically, so I try chords to see how they can build together." - Daniel Blumberg, composer of The Brutalist
