Becoming a Composer

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the creative process of composing music, this work explores the unique journey of creation through a framework of five distinct stages: to start, to search, to find, to transform, and to materialize. It delves into the duality of the composer as both an external observer and an internal creator, highlighting the concept of "circular tension" that guides this artistic endeavor. By breaking down and normalizing these states, the essay aims to provide insights applicable to any creative action, emphasizing the deep consciousness involved in the creative act.
