Abstract
This paper presents an approach for songwriting from a Lacanian psychoanalysis’ perspec-tive based on an ongoing master's degree research. The departure point is related the rele-vance of the unconscious processes already highlighted in musical cognition research. The research establishes a conversation between these two fields – psychoanalysis and cognition – to, subsequently, address methods and theories that enable a deeper understanding of the different relevant issues on creative process in songwriting. Introducing a brief literature re-view and proposing the use of methods such as memorial and genetic criticism. Finally, we present the initial steps towards a methodology for approaching the creative process in music with psychoanalytic orientation, based on the analysis of drafts and personal reports in free association.
