I think my creative juices are starting to flow again. I found myself thinking about music on my way to work today and think I’ve struck on a compositional approach that could work for me.
Music consists of sounds arranged in patterns. Sounds and patterns are separate concepts. I should experiment with patterns before sounds without the preconception of a final product, and then experiment with the sounds that are played in that pattern. I can then combine these patterns and sounds into complete works.
Wait… did I just reinvent the “Theory of Phonetic Organization”?
