In this episode, Frank unpacks a powerful idea: you can’t “use up” a composition technique. Instead of constantly reaching for new tricks, learn how to stretch one technique through contrast and transformation. From orchestration shifts to role reversals and rhythmic flips, the secret lies in development—not novelty. This shift in mindset helps your music stay focused, engaging, and full of life.
