Fans sometimes argue that you’ve ruined the original version of a sound by adding new layers ...

Nothing on the planet has an immortal value, nothing will survive forever. Every life form exists because of the fact that changing forms is a vital part of existence. Should an artist be jailed and locked in a mental framework by a group of fans who in many ways refuse to see artworks from varied viewpoints? Of course I understand the desire to repeat certain experiences again and again if they are extraordinary. These people will claim that whoever touches “their” piece of music becomes a sort of terrorist who has killed parts of the soundtrack to their emotional life. Understandable but with a touch of mediocrity. The fact is that the artist must have the freedom of choice to destroy his own art or at least rebuild structures and change the whole composition in order to pursue a new train of thought. The audience has the freedom of choice to dramatically say NO to such “upside down” activities and simply won’t spend their money on it. Fair enough.
