Composing a song really brings someone's creativity to the test. From coming up with the melody, right instrumental and music arrangement (or a Capella for some), to finding the right lyrics, song composition may seem to be simple, but it is not. It is just as complicated as programming a software to run, or to design a full plan for a house construction.
Song composition has evolved throughout the years. And technology has played a big part on it. Today, composers incorporate technology in different ways on their creative process. Music and sounds can be made from electronic instruments, and devices such as the midi keyboards, drum pad machines, DJ controller sets, etc. can produce music in a much more 'advanced' way, although some musicians today still focus on the traditional songwriting method. It could start from a melody, pattern, hook, or just a word that could play along in one's mind' or from a certain chord progression from an instrument played.
