Ramona, I have just listened to aviophobia... it's quite a nice lil tune that, but I just felt in needed more atmosphere... I just think there is a lot of space within it, so you could maybe utilize a few reverbs for the various indivisual tracks. I just re-listened to it and put a reverb over the whole track and it certainly adds to the atmosphere.
Reverb is to music as blur is to Barbara Walters. I like it myself, but I respect RAMONA's decision to keep things simple.

Actually the use of simplicity and empty space in music comes about through a self confidence on the artist's part. I feel that a musician communicating to an audience is like a person on a first date: the person feels compelled to talk; and silences are viewed as a bad thing. But with enough self confidence, the musician is able to leave spaces and silences, and feels not the need to repeat himself or to add filler.

You did the right thing RAMONA; too much refinement will make the stuff boring.
