I was wondering how many of you out there sometimes merge different ideas into one piece?
Sometimes i struggle with deciding whether i want to keep 2-3 different ideas to make a piece out of each one, or if i should rather merge them into the same piece.
Anyone else goes through this? Share your thoughts!
I can definitely relate and I think I do both. I merge and divide ideas. I actually have a 9min or so solo piano piece that I have broken up into 3 pieces (so far...). It mostly happens with improvisations and I think it can really help finishing an idea that's been sitting on the shelf :)
I do this all the time and I think it adds value to add more ideas into one track, it keeps the listener engaged throughout the track. It is common to structure tracks as ABA or ABCA or ABAB or ... 😊
It happens the opposite to me. I split 1 idea into 2 or more ideas ahahhaha
Sometimes is difficult to develop an idea, so I think it is a good idea to merge with other melody...
