some kind of pseudo aristotelian unity is important to me, and i think where i'm at with that right now is that a unified instrumentation is a good way to achieve that. after some brainstorming and realizing that i've been working pretty hard at sample manipulation (and i want to learn renoise better), i think my idea right now is to give myself a limited time, like 8 hours total, to build a small collection of samples to use, and that's what i get. said samples will be pulled from VST patches, actual hardware of mine, and royalty-free sample collections, but once my personal collection is built, that's it, no expanding out from it
what i ask from you, dear reader, is the following:
what do you do to establish a sense of unity across a longer-form work of music?
