Interesting question Kris. Obviously this is how most music is recorded. Even with jazz, studios are booked for a pre-arranged time and you have to fit that creativity in on demand.

Of course painter DO have to complete comissions according to a time scedule. "'Twas ever thus" as the bard would say. When I wrote music for a living I had very tight schedules but found that I always found my muse on time. and when we perform live we have a pre-defined slot in which to pull the musical rabbit out of the bag.

Does anyone actually go into the studio with the intent of recording all the songs for a looping CD? This would feel very restrictive and unnatural to me, like trying to force art into a bottle, or like telling a painter he has to go into a room and complete a great painting in 6 hours.
