and the abstract music is like...gah...idk...i dont know if thats even the correct term...sorry everyone...

oh. 17-18 minutes long. mea culpa.

wait! i almost forgot! ABSTRACT music. gah! its the most annoying thing ever. I've been forced to listen to some of that "music." Basically, the "composer" thinks: "I'm gonna have a synth play one long chord for 20 minutes. Then I'll add some nature sound effects, and maybe some reversed audio effects to add to the creepiness level* of the piece." *Yes, abstract music is creepy. There, I said it.

hmmm....let's see: Ravel's Bolero - its 8 minutes long, is based on only one chord...and the melody is exactly the same, but played on clarinet, alto sax, e-flat clarinet, tenor sax, then the whole orchestra. zzzzzzz... Eric Whitacre's Water Night - I love music that Eric Whitacre writes...the exception is Water Night. It's basically an abstract melody, with the second sopranos, altos, and basses singing every note in the minor scale at once. Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring - the opening bassoon solo is kinda cool, but everything else is just...hard to listen to Pachelbel Canon - I played this in church. The violin part is cool, but the whole piece is just so...repetitive, not to mention overused. A lot of electronic/techno music...it's basically 21st century Bolero: one chord....repeating...same damn thing...over and over...8 minutes of my life wasted listening to drum and synth loops....
