Composing Music: Spontaneous Vs Planned

Normally I have a fully formed track on my guitar, and then I make a fully formed midi file, and then I make the final track. So that’s a very planned deliberate way of composing. But I was just thinking that probably the 2 best pieces of music I’ve made in the last couple of years were the ones where I played a few tunes on my guitar and then very quickly jumped on the computer and let the track evolve. I’ve found this makes for the most suprising and just plain fun way of making music. Because you haven’t thought about how the track should sound beforehand, so it just seems to reveal itself as you’re making it. The track I’m currently working on was planned to be acoustic guitar ambience with some synths, but it’s become a big cinematic epic with a tropical rainforest feel, which is awesome fun! All the better since I make music to escape the view out my window of the bleak scottish winter.

You can hear the track I'm talking about in the player above - it's called Sunspire.

As It Once Was - Cinematic Celebration

I'm currently working on a medieval style music project, and I just had a very inspiring experience creating a new track - As It Once Was. Normally I sequence a track out in midi and keep working on it for weeks before I feel it's ready to produce the final piece. I'm a perfectionist about how I want the music to sound. But with this track I midi sequenced a couple of tunes and some drums, and then went ahead and produced and arranged the track using a few loops with different instruments applied to them. It took only a few hours to finish, and I just let the track evolve naturally as I made it, without having too clear an idea of the final arrangement in my head. I enjoyed it about as much as I've ever enjoyed making music, and I'm very happy with the final result. I also think it's the most upbeat and catchy piece of music I've made!
