What's the Best Way to Create Music?

So, I think a good amount about the best way to write songs - sitting at a piano with blank sheet music is inefficient, and from the tiny bit of software I've used, it can't be that intuitive. What if you had some instrumentalists and singers walk into a room with a few video cameras and like 10 microphones and then just brainstorm some stuff on the spot? Then you'd have some awesome audio engineers tagging and organizing the footage and sound as it comes in, and you'd have computers transcribing it into music writing and film editing software. This way, the musicians wouldn't have to worry about writing the music down, and they wouldn't have to worry about sound quality, which mic to use, or what the lighting is like - they can just hang out and brainstorm some great stuff - what do you think?

A Great New Post

Well, we're here at the beginning of 2010, and I'm thinking that I don't really have much to write about, but I feel like that might not be true. My English teacher likes to point out that writing is a great way to bring forth ideas that might not have come to the conscious parts of our brains otherwise - that concept is more enjoyable to practice here than it is during school. Maybe I'm just rebellious.

As I said, I don't think I have too much to talk about in this blog post; I might just want to have a post dating later than November '09 - one feels a need to keep their blog updated, even though one doesn't have many followers or much of an audience other than oneself. That's alright, though - writing is nice.
