You can think of music by analogy to two-dimensional art. Recordings are all different kinds of printed media: a CD of a symphony is (at best) a photograph of an oil painting like you would find in an expensive book. I mostly work in black and white. If it's not reproducible in the back pages of a newspaper, I probably wouldn't know how to do it. Now we might be approaching my sense of what defines folk music as opposed to, say, rock and roll.

Know Me By My Name
I know this isn't as close as I will ever get to the wall of sound, because someday I will record a song that has a bass line in it. However, with the addition of a glockenspiel, this is probably the greatest number of instruments so far that I have used at once (unless whistling counts).
