A most overused phrase, sometimes unfortunately used to excuse acts of barbarity. In the case of Art, may that mean Cooking, Painting or making Music, it does apply almost eternally. Even when one wishes to go overboard with an idea, it is always good to take a step back, observe, remember the original intent, inspiration and / or aspiration, and remove the clutter. So,....
This is what is taking place with "Aftershock". The Intro was conceived as a Guitar / Bass duet, punctuated by snare and bass drum punches. What I hear now appears to be overstated; clarity has been smothered and though I removed the Harpsichord part which doubled the guitar, it seems the cymbal work will also have to go. Maybe I should let it sit a day or two and work on something else. I might be to close to the picture to fully appreciate what is there.
Now for some short e-correspondence before closing for this evening.
