Try to come up with as many ideas as you can about how to accomplish your compositional goal. I'll help you if I can.
This brings up the point of instrumentation. What instruments will you need to use to create the mood you're shooting for. There are certain paramaters about how many parts you will need. This leads to the issue of complexity.
There's a concept in musicology about well-formedness that applies to rhythms, scales, song forms, and instrumentation. Pop music for example usually has 5 instruments at one time. The reason for this is because of music psychology.
People's brains are wired to expect a certain amount of complexity and if the music doesn't satisfy that because it doesn't have enough "voices" for just one "for instance",
then a general concencus will be arrived at by random samplings of the population that the music is too boring.
Also, if there are too many voices then a majority of normal people will be put off by the higher level of complexity. An example of why a singer and a guitarist is O.K.
