about

In the later part of his life, the American engineer, pilot, film director and billionaire Howard R. Hughes developed Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Due to this condition (which was not diagnosed in his lifetime), Hughes insisted on rigorous and often bizarrely complicated procedures for even the most mundane tasks.
He communicated these demands to his aides through a great number of handwritten memos, collectively known as “Operations Manual”.
“Importance of the Work at Hand” is a song cycle, based solely on excerpts from these original memos.
