Yesterday I told Adrian some of my plans for him and, in terms of our guitar work, this includes a development of the offset parts which are themselves a development of 1981 Crim’s interlocking guitars.

[…]

The bulk of this work is mechanical: writing out ideas by hand which, of themselves, move by very quickly. Then, breaking down how the parts are allocated. Then, learning my part. So, an original idea might take a minute to grab as it flies, an hour to write down, and a week to develop before it’s available to be presented to the Team. Until I have developed a relationship with the idea, I’m not able to pass it on - it’s only notes, not music. When I have a relationship, I can pass on the music.
