The aim with this thesis is to investigate how the creative element of the compositional process can be improved, and to research how a composer can develop and sublimate his or her aesthetics. As a part of the research process two pieces of music have been composed, one for the chamber ensemble Norrbotten NEO and one for the symphony orchestra NorrlandsOperans symfoniorkester. The compositional processes of the two pieces are described in detail and the thoughts and ideas that emerged during the two separate composing processes are the main basis of the concluding discussion of this thesis. The thesis also contains a more theoretical section where creativity, learning styles and the aesthetics of the modernistic era, among other things, are discussed. The final section of the thesis is a concluding discussion that argues that one effective way to improve the creative flow in the compositional process is to initially not work with exact pitches. Regarding aesthetics the thesis claim that aesthetic values are uttermost personal and that it therefore is pointless for a composer to try to acclimatize to the surrounding world. The thesis contends that it is preferable for a composer to try to understand his or her own aesthetic values and thereupon, in a personal and genuine way, share them with the rest of the world.
