I had a bit of an epiphany about this last night. I tend go for 100%
improv too, but it's so hit and miss...I realized that I tend to
gravitate towards certain patterns, so I could make "process
compositions". Something like "For this piece, I'm gonna record a short
chord, then switch to reverse and add some harmonics. Then I'll pass them
through a filter..." and so on. So the action would always be the same
and would make up the "composition" but the notes would be improvised.
Of course I don't see myself following that strictly, but it's a nice way
to have a gameplan and have a little consistency...I think...I haven't
actually tried it yet...
