As an aftershock of Moulin Rouge, I began trying to write love songs on Friday. Naturally, I started by programming an A.I.-esque song-maker system (“My gift is my code, and…”), encoding rules from a Harmony and Voice Leading book. Claudia seemed unsettled by my approach (she called it wrong but I couldn’t understand her reasons why).
I also have some questionably healthy limerence for the Satine character in the movie– I think my first since relating to Claudia. People who I mention this to seem to think that I would be interested in information about some ‘Nicole Kidman’ fellow, but the interest doesn’t seem to translate.
This also forms my first attempt at writing in e-prime. I hear it gets easier in time.
