I think I would like to self-comment on the making of material such as this.

I experiment a lot. I post a lot here but people, you have no idea how much I trash. I am your Last Line of Defense for what of mine makes it to this forum, and I take that responsibility seriously.

So here is a Proposed Primary Compositional Aid.

If you create a polyphonic / dissonant / "modern" composition with multiple parts / lines / voices, ask: Can my listener HEAR each individual part? They may have to try, but if they try, can they do that?

If the answer is NO, that may be fine. That kind of isolation may not be essential to overall value.

But if the answer is YES, that is definitely fine.

What suggests to me that this piece, "The Dioxin Waltz", is hopefully not just a bunch of random poop, is that I have, I think, put it all together and produced it so that you can track individual voices even within a very dense musical pea soup.

I think that is a value unto itself.

And that is my thought, on this particular occasion.

It's my version of, "I can only tell the story in my heart."
