I have been writing my ensemble piece using electronics as a single instrument. However, part of me felt that I was not sure of what I was doing. A sort of uncertainty in the process of composing. I did not know what I was doing, and I suppose I was writing music without clearly idea of my shape.
Every time I think about this, I understand that rules are important to the process of composing. You see, in the final moment of this work, I have a rule for the rhythm, I have a rule for the harmony and nevertheless a rule for the form that shaped last section; but for the beginning of this work, I do not have a rule for the rhythm and also I do not have a rule for the electronics. What is it happening? Where am I going? Why am I using the electronics? All these questions are unanswered, and that could be dangerous when composing. That could lead you to a moment where you just block and cannot compose.
I definitely should create rules for this section and for the next one, try to create a rule for each section you want. Creating rules will make your creative process easier than is now. Maybe, you should sketch how many sections you want to compose? In which sections will you use electronics? And how all these sections relate to each other?
