Notes
For this piece, I was trying to use rhythm as the main coherent factor throughout. The heavy, dense chords are juxtaposed with the lighter, fun section, but they have the same basic rhythmic idea running steadily throughout. I played around with chords that made the piano sound larger than just a piano, then slowly thinned the chords until I got to just a bass line and melody for the lighter section.
