BROKEN MUSIC BOX

I have been fascinated with very static minimalist videos taken with my 30 second capacity, crappy 2 mega pixel Radio Shack camera.
This was a fountain outside my hotel at the NAMM show convention and I loved it so much that I wrote a piece of music to accompany it. There are no effects on this whatsoever. It's what the camera saw at 3 a.m. in the morning.

Thanks, I"m glad that you got what I was going after, rekluziv. I found a website that had samples of a broken music box on it where you could loop the individual samples on and off on the site itself. I just improvised for 20 minutes with my mouse......then took the results and glitched it dragging the mouse backwards as it played forward in Sound Forge. I then wrote the strings afterwards in a manner of Copland at his saddest...........ahhhhh, Appalachian Spring and the 3rd Symphony!

As distorted as this sounds, this still sounds traditionally bittersweet and melancholic, and the distortion, of course, only adds to this impression.
