This sounds like the music used in that one Spongebob episode where he's going through time or something.

When does the girl crawl through the television? This is the video that was in The Ring, right?

Oh my god... After listening to this in the background for a minute or two my brain is tingling... This is amazing and I'm totally sober too.. Just do something else with this in the background

You know it takes a while to appreciate this kind of music. When I first heard it years ago, I was like "what is this shit?" Now I love it.

@ozeri By "the usual stuff" were you referring to dentistry? Hamburgers? Those embarrassing flakes (i.e., dandruff)? Perhaps a combination of all these?

[dantean]

@Reishirosama Exactly backward: this doesn't sound like music from a Spongebob episode, there's a Spongebob episode with music that sounds like THIS. Get it?!

[utkusarioglu]

@KhagarBalugrak so you know what serialism is. and you can still think that this work has little or no intellectual merit. wow

@KhagarBalugrak I think it's good to expose yourself of stuff that's outside of traditional minors, modes, ragas, meters, etc... The important thing about this piece is that it has a tangible aesthetic. I don't relate to it instantly, but when I hear it, I hear substance and purpose, it makes me want to listen to it again and think about the sort of proto-poetry accompanying it. Would I pick it over a Yundi Li concert? No. But that doesn't mean I can't listen and smile. New wrinkles on the brain

this is so so great . the reason why music is more great then the usual stuff.
