Cool. Yes, implying it's easy would be a lying, indicating complexity
is honest. It just bothered me because it isn't what I meant. I started
with the ellipses as naive audio wave visualisation, just to give depth
to the picture. The cut-outs and bridges are meant to give it a shamanic
techno look, I didn't have a maze in mind at all :)
Ok, so it will stay as is.
