About this exposition

Every composer has their own working methods, often in higher education we tend to focus on the empirical part of a creative process. What is the material one uses; how does one develop it and how can one improve it. However, to compose at all we firstly need attention, or better attentional focus. Why is it that even though all composers use their attentional abilities, we are often unaware of the diversity of attentional focus patterns? How do we work in a way that suits us best? And what extra musical elements are influential or of benefit? And why do some of us get immersed in our own music when we compose? This master’s exposition gives some possible insights into the attentional focus patterns present during compositional creative processes and what extramusical elements might be of influence. By giving insight into my own process; in addition to studying the processes of eight colleagues, I hope to gain knowledge into the pluriform working methods of living composers as well as become more aware of the diverse and personal ways attention focus patterns are directed within a creative process.
