  Grouping toward a concept...
                                        The modulated character of
     When one goes to two,              Zelazny's heroes would be
     one of the simplest                just a single instance.
     structures to use is
     alternation.                                 PHONE_BOOTH

                           that my monotone
                           mic style was too boring,
                           and that a more modulated
                           voice is more engaging
                           because of it's greater          BLEND
                           amount of information.

                           My contention: the heavily
                           modulated voices are heard
                           so often that you risk          So I use
                           sounding like just another      sameness to
                           advertisement if you overdo     differentiate
                           the inflection.                 from the ones
                                                           that use
                                                           differences.

                           "... the key is
                           to modulate.
                           Noise can make melody
                           sound good by contrast,
                           and vice-versa."

                                                       with simple structures.
                                                       e.g. a 'then and now'

                                                       old, and punk that was
