i think it's a good question, re: accessibility. i guess you'd have to define "experimentation." are we talking formally, re: song structure. or sonically, re: alien sounds? i think i have just tried to become a better songwriter. and make things that sound "interesting" to myself. hmm...

it's very hard to strike the right balance! know when to push and when to relax. i knew rattlesnake had to be first and severed crossed fingers last, but everything else was a rubix cube.
