Sonic Diversity

            
Boring!

That's how I feel when the same sound set is used throughout a song. I like to hear varied tones and frequencies that support the emotion and forward flow of a piece of music. I believe humans are made to respond to variety (whether it's sound, color, emotion, smell, or ideas).

I am a big fan of synthesizers. I love to hear an instrument that I can't identify and that isn't a standard part of an orchestra or band.

There are many possibilities these days for an expanded sonic pallet and unique arranging. I like songs where as much creativity has been put into the underlying music as into the lyrics.
