ty! and I remember going over this decision too; mix it up for a more dynamic piece? have the same textures and dynamics all the way bc so much of a trek thru a snowstorm is featureless, exhausting; one mile looks and feels like the next one which looks and feels like the last one? the most tempting change, even beyond instruments and textures, was doing a metric modulation, which I ultimately didn't; I just couldn't! this artwork felt like it had to have smth really steady; the skier feels absolutely determined to keep the pace
