It's kind of nice, but it is soooo 4/4. And I mean that 5/4 wouldn't
be better. Or any other time signature. The intent turned out more
like a nightmare for software that tries to print out music on a staff,
so to speak. Fuzziness, or muddiness would be more like it. Over
which a melody could come and go. Perhaps on a wind instrument. On
the low side, the bass could be using a mix of harmonics and soft low
notes. Things would evolve rather quickly (must not forget about short
attention span ! ;-) so that percussion could reing in. And perhaps
sustaining from a guitar, leading to a definite and different melody
that would state the meaning. And then fade away into the magma (*).
Or something like that. But not too 4/4 oriented, although your bit
with the highs and low is nice.

Cheers,

Al
