Have you ever tried writing some music when you’re furious at an event that has negatively affected you during the day? For me, negatively has often been a catalyst towards the beginning of a creative cycle.
However, fine tuning a piece that has already been started seems to progress better with a cool head. My compositions need a level-headedness when it comes to balancing orchestration and dynamics in full scores. It’s amazing how many elements go into composing a passionate, yet balanced orchestral work!
