+ (p [Some time in 2005 I had this fancy idea of writing a number of

+     songs that would relate to one another and share musical themes;

+     sort of a miniature concept album.  Whenever I thought of a

+     variation of an existing theme I would hack it into one of the

+     many powertab files I accumulated over the years.  A problem that

+     arose from this method was that I often couldn’t play what I had

+     jotted down.  Instead of miraculously turning into a song, the

+     collection of disjointed files containing disjointed melodies and

+     riffs just continued to grow larger.])

+ (p [Eventually, when I was porting my powertab archive to tuxguitar,

+     I decided to endulge in the most productive of all work:

+     deleting.  Deleting parts that I was never quite happy with

+     contributed a lot to “songify” the independent little pieces of

+     music.])
