<p>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.</p>
<p><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).</p>
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.</p>
