Repetition always helps things slide more easily down the old gullet.

I should say, although I enjoy aspects of the old-school atonal
jerky-rhythm aesthetic, their fear of repetition I find rather
silly.

Hence in Goopy, the piece repeats itself 3 times. Why not? I
though it sounded cool. Why not hear it again?

And then in Towelbear, we've got the more local repetitions. . .
