When we do the work of organizing complex rhythms, beats, notes and melodies it turns the chaos into beauty…and beauty is simple to digest for the listener.
I always think about this when I hear or play Michael Jackson. Every instrument serves a melodic and percussive purpose. Take one out and the groove is lost.
The easy smooth vibe of that music is only achieved by complexity being put together in such a brilliant way that no one notices and everyone simply enjoys.
Complexity is beautiful and beauty is simple.
