We try to write songs that are sort of like intertwining melodies (aka counterpoint) as opposed to just lots of chord changes. The basic idea is to go back to the idea of Baroque style classical music,like Bach or Vivaldi, where each instrument played a melody that complimented the others instead of just a bunch of instruments supporting a singer or lead guitar.

The idea is to take that same concept but do songs in different styles - so we have songs in various genres - classical, funk, latin, heavy metal - that use that some basic concept.

We're not perfectly strict about it, i.e., it's not a hard formula that we force ourselves to adhere to. It is more of a philosophy that helps us create interesting instrumental music.
