Simplicity can be the point

I’ve been listening to Porter Robinson’s new album Nurture and the first song on that album starts with a solo piano and this busy electronic texture in the background.

Creating that texture in the background is complex and the rhythms involved are complex, but its hidden in a way. It’s not in the foreground.

The complex parts are hidden and put into the background.

Complexity doesn’t need to be the point.

Simplicity can be the point.
