Luckily, as a humour writer, I will probably fight my way out of this paper bag by doing something silly. But in the research/thinking phase it's hurting my brain like hell, which means I'm procrastinating a lot.
I usually enjoy researching, but on a personal level I'm not sure I care all that much how this music thing is going to turn out. I consume music, but I don't make it. I'm happy to sit back and see what happens. But now I can't! I can't just SBASWH because I'm writing this damn book. Or rather, I'd like to be writing this damn book, but I can't until I get a breakthrough.
Frikkety frak.
It's 6 AM I'd better go to bed. Frakkety frakky frak frak frak.
I feel like Don Music from Sesame Street.

I've wondered about that too - that is how to write about a character who does something that is beyond my scope of knowing or understanding ... I guess that's why the old adage: write what you know...
Still - there's got to be a way. One "work around" I thought about was to tell the story from the pov of a character who's as clueless about The Invention or whatever it is, as I am. Then I could still relate the tale without having to give too much technical detail.
But you still have to think up the idea!
I'm reading a book on the music industry (meant for people entering the business) so it's sparking a couple ideas. Sigh.
