The 10%

Thought of a better way to do Entwined in the night, starts with a rolling flow of the piano, gentle steps, like the two minds, remembering that it's two minds talking, romancing. So I got up early and recorded new piano parts, ready to cast aside much of yesterday's sequences. A lot in art is creating a new experiment with great labour, only to throw away 90% of it, but the 10% is usually worth the effort.

I listened to bits of Bjork's utopia. Melodically inspiring in its complexity, but the random 90s-style drum loops were annoying, the same sub-bassy booms and crackles appear in every song sooner or later for no real reason, not even interest, always getting in the way of the natural mood. I'm amazed that so many people worked on the album, it sounds simplistic, if anything.
