Reviewed 2011-09-23
rather slow, nothing stands out to me, could be used in sound beds of movies for discovery of something in a thriller/ horror/ drama, nothing but piano and violin
bobbi 9/11

1) down tempo violin with some piano behind, romantic sounding
2) like a roller coaster that takes your emotions up and down, but still dosen't seem to go anywhere
3) mabe a bit more upbeat, more playful
4) high screeching on violin, serious feel
5) fast, playful, expiermental
6) pretty simple piano, grinding violin at first and then becomes pretty
7) slow violin solo until a min in
8)very short hard strokes, like short jabs in the gut
9) kind of sad
10) at this point i'm starting to get bored
11) most beautiful, has a rough character, the only one that goes anywhere
12 and 13) two longest
