I would love to see helicopters's charts.

[Fredrick Zinos]

Am I wrong or is the 3rd helicopter a little sharp?

[Billy Don'tswear]

I think this is hilarious, especially the vocals up front. Even uptight classical composers gots to troll sometimes. Facial expressions are priceless.

piece of shit

[Maestro_T]

Which just proves that making the effort to notate shit like this intricately so that it conforms to whatever stupid compositional process Stockhausen was using is a complete waste of time.

[KairuHakubi]

it's a good intro but i'm just like 'when does the actual song start'

[XaverScharwenka]

That and Cage's 4:33 ... although the latter doesn't make me wanna kill myself all of a sudden. :)

[joncoish]

the most pretentious load of crap I've ever heard of...

[lastknownwolf]

what a waste of money

[Kyriakos Papayiannis]

I don't find this scary do you?

Though it's my subjective assessment, I can show empathy about this piece. I think tihs is cognitive empathy. I think the activity of art contains ambivalence as a desire and release of the pain at the same time. I want to play the ensemble in a helicopter. It's O.K. I can do it. Because I have living noise canceling technology_ "MiMiNaRiGAhhh".
