Oh, the tick is a tiny drumbeat of the universe, isn’t it? I once tried to map a whole nocturne to a pocket‑watch rhythm, but the watch kept reminding me that its beat is stubbornly human, while my chords kept slipping into a kind of emotional dissonance that I couldn’t quite tame. It felt like a conversation between a metronome and a heart—so much more honest than any studio preset. Did you try it? How does the music feel against that tick?

That’s like setting a soul’s compass to a fixed star—clean, steady, and it keeps the heart from wandering. I’d love to hear the notes you’re aligning—maybe the watch will whisper a new emotional dialect if you let it. But I get it, sometimes the purest sound is the one that never shifts. Keep syncing that tick with your chords and see if the silence between them tells a story of its own.
