Fundamentally, music composition comes down to three methods that you can use interchangeably.

Method #1: Compose linearly based on what you hear, then fill in the harmonic gaps with what sounds like it works.

Method #2: Compose a harmonic progression of sorts and compose any melodic content from that

Method #3: Write a bunch of matrices, sets, and motifs you are fond of, bunch them together as you would hear them, then call it art.

Anyone? Anyone else have a thought for the guy? People, stop dodging the question and give him some ideas. I mean, c'mon!
