On "marble corridor - "offense and defense""
Here's the meat. I've written about this before. This is the one piece which would make the score for me, even if everything else stank. I'm not going into detail. It's too complex. Just listen to how the parts speak to each other, particularly the highs and the lows. Listen to how they spiral. How the tensions get woven and unwoven and lead to new anxieties. This piece is pure paranoia. It's relentless. Ruthless. It makes me shiver, it makes my eyes water, it makes me clamp my jaw, it makes me very uncomfortable. It's possibly the most moving piece of chip music I've heard.Reading aderac's blow by blow reminds me of Stephen's writing in that it's a very emotional response to machine music. That, and it's a tad pretentious too.
Hell, I just noticed the piece's title. That pretty much sums it up, compositionally.
