About this exposition

Within my personal compositional process, there has been a growing conflict between what I identify as my ‘intuitive’ and ‘conscious’ types of thought. The dissonance between these thought processes has led to long periods of creative drought. The premise of this research paper is to examine these cognitive entities throughout my compositional process, in order to observe and understand the dissonances and conflicts that exist within my creative practice. The focus of this paper is the relationship between these two types of thought, their roles in compositional procedures, their impact on the musical outcomes of my pieces, and how to trigger these modes of thought. The research is seen through the lens of 3 pieces, in which the process of composing said pieces is recorded through notebooks, sketches, and scores, followed with analyses and reflections on both processes and outcomes.
