Just deployed 20 computers to take the place of the 40 I tore down yesterday. Such a lazy bastard, I am. Anyway, while I was out doing that, I came up with an idea for a longish sort of piece - really, a series of shorter songs, like <em>Images</em> - as a composition exercise for this next month or so.
|
|
|
|
<strong>The Idea</strong>
|
|
Write a song about several different kinds of drinks - Gin & Tonic, mojito, white Russian, and so on - WITHOUT using clichés (so no cuban beats for the Mojito, and no club jazz for the G&T).
|
|
|
|
<strong>Ensemble</strong>
|
|
-Flute
|
|
-Guitar
|
|
-Piano
|
|
|
|
<strong>Structure</strong>
|
|
Not sure how I want to structure it. I mean, arch form is kinda neat, and so is a big flashy climax, but maybe something dealing more with the drinks themselves, like moving from less classy to more classy...? Or by ingredient, so I could segue from G&Ts to Martinis or something.
|
|
|
|
<strong>The Drinks</strong> (or, at least, some that come to mind - suggestions for adding or removing are welcome)
|
|
<em>Gin drinks</em>
|
|
-Gin and tonic
|
|
-Martini (gin, vermouth, olives)
|
|
<em>Rum drinks</em>
|
|
-Mojito (rum, lime, mint, simple syrup, soda water)
|
|
-Rum and coke
|
|
<em>Sweet drinks</em>
|
|
-White russian (coffee liquor, vodka, milk, cream)
|
|
-Margarita (tequila, triple sec, sweet lime juice)
|
|
<em>Whiskey drinks</em>
|
|
-Rob roy (scotch, sweet vermouth, bitters)
|
|
-Sazerac (rye whiskey, bitters, absinthe, simple syrup)
|
|
<em>C-c-c-combo breaker!</em>
|
|
-Long Island Iced Tea |
