To a certain extent, it's not possible to produce something that is both recognizable as "music" (much less as a specific genera) and which is devoid of pre-existing patterns, and I don't think that's what the parent post is claiming.
I'm not familiar with the parent poster's music, but I am pretty sure that "create basic components" refers specifically to that "copy-and-paste" from a concept into a more tangible form (like a drum loop). So it seems like they have considered this idea explicitly.
I'm not a pro, though I have to play a 3-hour solo gig tonight on piano, and most of it will be improvising ornaments over blues and jazz tunes that I already know.
One of the problems in this gig is that it becomes very easy to fall into rather generic patterns.
That repetition is a real short-coming of a lot of so-called original music that I, and many musicians I have heard and work with run into: a lot of original music is a bad copy of something that already exists.
However, in the process of re-implementing existing stuff (as opposed to consciously reworking a tune, re-performing a piece, or literally resampling audio) I tend to make mistakes, and I find that to be a good source of actually 'new' music.
I can't say for sure if my understanding is correct, but that's how I understand the parent poster's motivation.
Of course, I'm not a "composer" and I often have to create a whole lot of music without a lot of prep, so I am perhapshappier to have a large-ish library of known things in my brain that I can directly quote when I play.
