This paper aims to reflect on processes and mechanisms that can operate in musical creation, from the conception of a subjective idea to its accomplishment. Therefore, we seek a dialogue between the notion of “solfège” and the different moments of Gilbert Simondon’s “cycle of images” (2016): (1) image-anticipation, (2) lived experience, (3) image-memory, and (4 ) invention. At the same time, bringing these reflections to the technical dimension of composition, we propose a dialogue between “imaginary instrument” (LACHENMANN, 1996; PADOVANI, 2017) and “technical object” (SIMONDON, 2020), addressing technological tools and several creative supports, and illustrating some of the ideas through our compositional processes.
