As the guitar solo soared in flight, Newman's mind developed a vision of a struggling warrior, dying but fighting daily to be heard, crying ever upward in the octave ranges, juxtaposed against both
harmony and dissonance, to its ultimate conclusion: the breakthrough he could
never reach.
When Newman disclosed his vision with his
friends and colleagues, they came to the general consensus that they projected their own experiences onto music. The fact that conversations could exist between intervals and that the timbre of individual instruments characterized the dispositions of people, confirmed the paychological phenomenon known as Harmonic-Timbral Projection.
