In this episode of The Music Interval Theory Podcast, Frank opens up about the power of unfinished work. From half-orchestrated ideas to 8-bar sketches, these "tiny reps at the gym" are actually the foundation of musical growth. He shares a raw, personal sketch from years ago and discusses how sharing imperfect work with fellow composers builds confidence, sharpens instincts, and keeps the creative momentum alive. If you’ve ever felt like your half-finished cues don’t count, this one’s for you.
