 (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.])

     rendering is called “Airfont 340”.])
