Abstract
This text is the beginning of a formalized reflection on some poetic aspects of my present compositional world. After a brief survey of our historical background, a general conceptual framework, inspired by research in knowledge representation and categorization, is established. Using two complementary representational systems, I develop a microworld paradigm, the paradigm which first sparks my imagination. Higher-level musical structures, considered as evolving societies in morphological spaces, are then examined, including the overall form of a piece. Excerpts from my own work are analyzed in terms of the writing techniques which are adopted. Finally, a few extensions to this compositional approach are succinctly discussed, together with some of the consequences that challenge traditional perception, analysis, performance, and interpretation.
