Listen to any master musician comp or improvise a solo and you’ll hear a series of musical themes being introduced, developed and then resolved. The process is called motivic development and themes are referred to as motifs.
Rhythmic motifs are very much a staple of Massimo Varini’s creative palette, “A motif is an initial idea, a spark, something that is first created spontaneously or taken from a melodic fragment or melodic rhythm, and then repeated, developed, varied rhythmically or melodically or both. The motif may even be so subtle it becomes almost unrecognizable but still serves as a point of reference for those musicians who are improvising or creating a rhythm part.”
