How To Compose: I wrote a jazz piece in this video

I challenged myself to compose a piece in front of a video camera so you could see what my process is like. Don't worry, I cut out the boring parts! Throughout the process, I highlight the major decision making points of the piece - the chords, the groove, the melody, the form... I just didn't come up with a title. Some of my tips for composing go like this: 1. SET YOUR GOALS! What keys, chords, rhythm, form, melody style, instruments, etcetera, do you want to use? 2. MAKE DECISIONS WITHOUT THINKING TOO MUCH. 3. BAD ideas are better than NO ideas! You can always change them. The piece I wrote ended up using 2 different chord progressions in 2 keys, with a melody that had some large leaps, arpeggios, and use of the blues scale (although the chords are not bluesy). I made a recording with drums, vibes, and keyboard bass (woohoo!) using Logic, but the entirety of the piece was written at the piano on the video. I hope you enjoy!
