Bulent Arel's Stereo electronic music no. 2
This piece definitely stretches the limits of what I would consider music. It is all electronic sounds, and they're certainly cool, but for a fourteen minute piece there is very little sense of continuity. For about the first six minutes there is nothing even resembling a melody or a steady beat or even a theme. It seems like different types of experimentation with electronic sounds in a way that's vaguely musical (and I wouldn't even say that until about a minute in) It has long piercing notes interjected by various crashes and pings and other electronic sounds. Then there's a section at about three minutes and thirty seconds that seems like a lot of random sounds that start to build up. It reminds me somewhat of the noises in a video game. At around six minutes and thirty seconds a synthesized string part comes in and then there's a lot of low rumbling against high flutey tones. The rest of the song continues on in that vein... I honestly don't know what to say. To go back on an earlier statement it is musical ( well, it goes back and forth between being music and random noise), it's just not pleasing to the ear as a unit.
