Something that gave me shivers: Stewart is another who quotes the "aural repository" theory. All the musicians I love and respect most, starting with my father, have expressed this concept that music is already there in this mysterious aural repository and it just passes through you, and it seems to come from somewhere else, you are just an instrument to express something that was already there.
It's like possession. Then, as it has come, it leaves you.
I experienced it with writing. The Muse stroke, then went away forever.
This is what makes me utterly and completely interested in the creative process: it's a supernatural state.
"I.Know.This.Name"!
