In my work structure is defined by two elements:
The samples (usually less than 5) filtered in various way, so 2 or 3 samples becames a pool of 20.
The strategy of layer: one sample is the main loop (the canvas in pictorial terms), the others are used like lines of color or a huge mass of it. Think at a Rothko (or Mondrian or De Kooning) painting and you can have a visual explanation of the structure i use.
