Summary

Using transitions in our song creates movement, and gives us the illusion that there is life in that machine. Dance music that doesn't use transitions to glue the piece together can sound disjointed and dead. Transitions create tensions, and music composition is all about tension and release. We will learn in the next chapter how mixing will pull all of this tension and release into a cohesive whole.
