Flexibility and Experimentation in Music: Abandoning Formulaic Approaches to Songwriting

The purpose of this project was to create an album that utilizes unique and unconventional approaches to songwriting to avoid over-relying on the same creative process. The project includes four original songs as well as a detailed account of how each song was written. The paper describes the various sources of inspiration, the methods used for both writing and melodic composition, and finally addresses challenges in the writing process.
