I was approached by a friend, who works for the University of St. Thomas and asked if I would be willing to write a song to go with her video presentation at the TED conference in LA. The subject was very technical and she wanted something very poppy and upbeat, to make the presentation fun.
With that in mind, I interviewed her for a couple hours to get the gist and then spent a lot of time on Wikipedia and bothering a couple of math genius friends of mine to make sure I wasn't saying anything really stupid. The end result is something I like a lot, is terribly geeky (which she was thrilled at) and has a very solid hook, lots of harmonies. Very fun.
