I looked thru the score and decided not to risk listening.

18 seconds. Scared the shite out of me the way it started. Sis not improve. I can see that the composer has talent but fail to understand why he chooses to create that stuff.

I found it to be fine if I let it run in the background while I did something else. It doesn't seem to be one of those compositions that you can listen to seriously.

Was this used in "The Exorcist" by any chance? It's definitely not "Tubular Bells", that's for sure!

56 seconds before my roommate protested. She says it sounds like I'm going to murder her in her sleep.
