Started with a "looking for a note" riff and built up many layers in FL Studio. Two tracks for each instrument with the first track being the "important parts" and the second track being the "decoration". In the end, the distinction was not very well defined, so the track got fiddled with until it sounded somewhat more pleasant.
Step 1: The composer Luciano Berio once said that part of the attraction of some of Bach’s music is in its clear distinction between which notes are “structurally significant” and which are “decorative.” Consider this observation.
Step 2: Compose a short piece of music that opens and closes with there being a clear sense of which parts are “structurally significant” and which are “decorative,” but that in the middle gets ambiguous in this regard.
