‘Music has the power to transcend boundaries. We can feel it when that happens in concerts, and that feels like success.’
Daniel Elms, composer
For composition, subconscious processing is one of your most powerful tools, as long as you “feed it” with tasks to process: don’t wait for inspiration, instead confront the empty page and work on it; put the time in. Even if you discard everything by the end of the day, it is the process that stimulates the subconscious and you’ll find that inspiration follows.
