Intuition or Premeditation

Intuition or Premeditation

You haven’t graduated from improvisation to composition until you’ve premeditated something based on the materials you’ve already created. That isn’t to say that improve is an intrinsically lower art form than composition but one which demonstrates intuition rather than premeditation.

Generative processes can begin from either intuition or premeditation and part of the allure of creativity in general is exploring the combinations, correlations, and configurations of these opposite elements.
