Morning.

I want to finish my piece with a rise of at least two minutes.

I threw to the draft trash two drafts already and thought you guys might be able to help me with it.

I don't have much time and need to come up with the final version some time next week.

I need tools that will allow me to keep the sense of getting higher and stronger,

but keep the opportunity to use complex thematic materials.

Here are tools I used:

1. Scale Change

2. More Rapid Chord Cycles

3. Shorter Notes (Start with whole end with sisxteenths or smaller)

4. Start Soft and Grow Louder

5. Start Low and Go Higher (one of my instruments is flute so I'm limited with "low")

6. Accelerate 

 

Please, if someone here can teach me this lesson or even give me a link to a piece where there's a long massive rise-

do it as soon as possible.

Big thanks.

 

That's the short rise that opens the final:

But this one is just here to get the listener familiar with the themes again and mix them a little.

I rose the tension and now I want to get to a complete zero, the biggest rise possible, and then finish off.

On the previous version it also got atonal at the end with big clusters,

kind of like opening a new dimension.

I think a climax depends on what happened before. OK, supposing you want to use previous material, I don't think it's a good idea to go atonal because it's a radical change of idiom. All the tools you mentioned are good, but some more;:

 

Modulate to somewhere higher (a second, a third).

Use previous material with a brighter scale (if mayor, change to lydian).
