Old Songs Verses New Songs

What I find I have found to be interesting in listening to one of my older pieces, "Celestial Adventures" to be exact. Is that if I were writing it today rather than in 2003, it would definitely sound different. The chord structure would be the same, but there would be more "space" in the music. The way I wrote it was an interesting process, it incorporated drum pads playing keyboard notes, as well as me playing the keyboard parts. It was also written in odd signatures because I was trying to see if I could program a sequencer in an odd signature. The result was this 5/8 thing. The begining started with me playing some drum pads that I had programed random notes into, They were random from the same key though, the result was what you here at the beginning. I didn't realize until I went to lay a real drum track over it, that it was in 11/8 . Many years ago I was playing a pipe organ while we were tuning it, and I came up with the 9/8 organ part that creates a segue to the 5/8, it also returns at the end after a rehash of the 11/8 from the beginning. I also wrote a small organ bit about the same time that appears in "Spectacle of Pride" in the middle with the keyboard solo over it. Anyway, my more recent songs like "That Sunday Morning", have more "space" in them. my writing style has changed over the years to where I don't feel I have to fill up every gap with something. It makes me wonder what "Celestial Adventures" would sound like if I wrote it today. I'm all done arranging and rearranging though, and people seem to like it the way it is, so I don't figure to make changes to it now.
