Licence
Usually I go into a production with a fair idea of where it's going. The parameters will be set by the song. They will be set by the artists I'm working with. An opera singer for example would probably not appreciate my imposing a rock band arrangement around her aria.
Occasionally the opposite is the case and there is creative licence. With this piece Colin and I didn't particularly have a song, just a notional canvas which we started putting stuff on until The New Day emerged. Sometimes it’s good not to know where you’re going. Licence to roam freely is essential.
