This deliberate choice allows moments of space and silence to breathe within his compositions, fostering an atmosphere rich in tension and release. The subtle interplay between melody and harmony showcases his innovative use of texture, inviting listeners to experience the nuances of each sound rather than relying on complex arrangements or overwhelming instrumentation.
