If there's one person I'd want being impressed on this platform it'd be you!

Which is lucky because apparently nobody else is even slightly interested lol (my music blogs are consistently the least read by far)

But yeah no matter how complex, everything can easily be reduced to its simplest fundamentals. Heinrich Schenker proposed pretty much every musical masterpiece can be reduced right down to the point of 'three blind mice' - hard to disagree, and I bet it applies to other media too!
