Answer 1

Cate is most likely working out a problem with **texture**. Texture in music refers to how many layers of sound are heard simultaneously and how they interact with each other. By adding, subtracting, or substituting instruments, she is adjusting the sonic layers and overall richness of her composition, which directly relates to the texture.
