Musical Miscellany: Inspired - Day 1

It is interesting how often we fall short of our intentions. I hoped one day to go through and finish my blog about my time in Panama. But it's over a year later and life has moved on leaving my past goals behind. I apologize to all who were following this blog for the abrupt stop.

Inspired by Julie&Julia, I want to finish something. Perhaps not cooking, I've never been much of a recipe-follower. But I believe my goal is equally ambitious.

My goal: to write ten songs in ten different styles based off Billboard top hits. My purpose is a trivial one; I want to show that each and every person has the versatility and the ability to create their own music in whichever style they wish. Perhaps one day we'll have an Asian American singing country, or perhaps a Hispanic person playing Indian music. I hope in these songs to explore the challenges of creating coherent and pleasing music... as well as learning the difficulties in the role of technology in music.

I head to medical school relatively soon, so this project has a deadline.

For song one: I'll attempt Synthpop/Electronica Pop, a favorite of mine.

Day 1.
