Metoder för hantverksmässig komposition

The purpose of this study is to learn more about composition and to explore tools and methods to be able to continuously write music. In order to achieve this goal I have chosen to explore in depth two different methods of composition - improvisation and modification. The inquiries are whether a recorded improvisation with some restrictions, and modification of an already existing composition can be effective methods in order to give rise to new music. In addition, I have also chosen to make qualitative interviews with three composers to find out how they work and make their way from a first idea to a complete composition. The work of this paper has resulted in seven compositions that have been created in a number of ways, as well as a number of tips on tools and methods from the respondents - some of them remain to be tested in the future.
