Amateur experiment of composing instrumental music that sounds pinkfloyd-ish, burzum-ish, postrock-ish and jazz-ish.

Five pieces, published five weeks after pt-cc — longer and more patient than its predecessor. The closing track runs almost nine minutes.

  • 0101 - g-bct3:33mp3
    Described by AI from the audioA minimalist electronic instrumental built around a deep E-and-B foundation, repeating keyboard figures and a slow, hypnotic pulse. Piano, electric-piano and synthesizer timbres overlap into an ambiguous drone rather than clearly major or minor harmony, with a patient fade-in and fade-out framing the steady middle.
  • 0202 - trl4m6:18mp3
    Described by AI from the audioA long E-minor piece driven by synthesizer and electronic-organ layers over a deliberate, half-time rhythm. Percussion becomes part of the texture rather than dominating it, and the nearly continuous central plateau eventually gives way to a very long fade, creating a dark, processional atmosphere.
  • 0303 - mmrs22:39mp3
    Described by AI from the audioA compact, comparatively forceful electronic groove centered around G. Low synthesizer and bass-like plucked tones repeat against frequent rhythmic attacks, producing a dense, direct texture with little introductory space and an abrupt ending rather than a fade.
  • 0404 - lmn-pht4:01mp3
    Described by AI from the audioA minor-key electronic piece with an orchestral cast: synthesizer, percussion and brass- or bowed-string-like layers move over a mid-tempo pulse. Its spectrum is brighter and busier than the surrounding tracks, and subtle changes in density give the otherwise steady arrangement a cinematic, slightly uneasy momentum.
  • 0505 - scsm8:54mp3
    Described by AI from the audioA nine-minute, keyboard-led electronic composition centered on a broad A sonority. Slow synthesizer figures and sparse instrumental colors accumulate patiently, with the second half becoming noticeably fuller and louder before a measured final release; the scale and gradual development make it feel contemplative and suite-like.

Notes on music

The inlay is given over to a compiled essay on music — the elements it is made from, why people make it, and a deadpan invented history of the whole business. It opens:

Music is yet another art-form. It's all about making noise that doesn't displease people.

Compiled from the BBC h2g2 and Uncyclopedia articles about music, as credited on the original 2006 inlay — which also pointed readers to kondor.etf.bg.ac.yu/~uskokovic. The full text is legible in the inlay scan above.
