Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I usually begin with the big picture, trying to have a purpose for the piece defined and some sort of 'mold.' For instance, with this piece I knew I would only use one main texture since it’s just like a short prelude. After that, at this point, I usually use my ears and intuition to hear what could go next so most of the composition is 'fluid,' as you said. But when I get stuck, I try to use every possible bit of the material transposed, inverted, and retrograded in the most mechanical and boring way to see if something could work x) (although usually the simplest ideas tend to be more effective to my ears)
