Q: what is your musical writing process?
A: the first step is to learn how to catch the ideas as they fall out of the sky at unexpected times, and put them all in the same place. the next thing is to learn how to figure out which one to choose, when it's time to do one. i have zeroed in on a hybrid random-nonrandom selection scheme which works very reliably for me. then i just have to recover all documentation on that item and figure out how the rest of it's supposed to go. always go from beginning to end, unless the piece you already have is not the beginning ..... in which case you will have to work backwards, which is extremely impossible, but i am proud to say i have learned how to do it (long journey, outside, got to know,) and then to figure out what comes next, must do timed run throughs after a door touch refresh, and pay very keen attention when approaching the cliff. catch whatever you catch, and then discuss briefly in yes or no questions, then when you've exhausted all lines of reasoning, go back to the door and run it again
