Thinking in terms of multiple instruments
Thinking in terms of multiple instruments could be interesting. You don’t necessarily need to be a multi-instrumentalist, but if you can illustrate the sounds in your head using different instruments, it’s a start to composing more than just solos.
Potential of a electronic artist/DJ: They can think in terms of different “instruments.” If you look at it, synths, pads, bass, acoustics can all be compared to different “instruments” because they all produce different sounds. Now, apply that knowledge into classical instruments (or nonelectronic instruments) and you can compose a symphony much easily if you can think in terms of strings, pianos, harps, etc.
Problem: some electronic artists do not think too well in very melodic compositions (such as a pianist composer does), perhaps because of the nature of their music? However, they do come up with quiet strong simplistic keys that are catchy.
Comparisons: look at instruments very carefully. You can take a synth (most similar to strings) and add in effects such as stutters and tremolos. If you look at violins, you can also change the variation of the sound through similar means.
if I did not explore electronic music during my teenage years, I wouldn’t have been able to fuse strings and other instruments/sounds with piano! Exploring other sounds/instruments is great practice for exploring, similar to an artist trying different media.
