One of the goals of such artistic research is to be able to understand all the steps of the co-creative process and then to reassemble them with the awareness of knowing how to lead an ensemble or other projects with a higher level of music writing.
Imagine an ensemble where all members have made a contribution that enables them to identify as a part of a shared and collective sound, rather than something that was designed by just one leader. This always happens within the improvisational process, but rarely with the idea of fixing the material into a composition.
Human co-creativity is subject to the laws that govern us as human beings, and the more variables are included in the processes, the more complex the network becomes.
One of these variables are feelings, which are surely a big part of the writing process: they are part of what ispires us to write music, they are what guides our interactions, they are what influences our experiences as human musicians.
Inside our writing process, we try to recreate feelings in order to inspire our first ideas and to create a mood for the song, which usually stays consistent through the compositional process of the tune.
Most of the times we don't really know what we are going for as a final result, but we know what we want as a general mood: it can be a calm and soft ballad (such as One by One), or a more energetic tune (such as Raindrops).
We recreate feelings in order to translate them into musical language; co-writing music means also to tune in to each other's feelings to develop a common depiction of our separate experiences. In other words, to make our emotion resonate.
