Jesus. It's like a swarm of mosquitoes around Satan's outhouse.

Bridget rocks. We need more Bridget.

It made me think of the “Threnody” right away, too. Although - admittedly - I only know that piece from Twin Peaks: The Return.

I just want to note that George Crumb's sheet music is idiosyncratic and gorgeous, and well worth looking at, even if you don't like his music!
Taylor Conner
Similar to Penderecki, who just passed away recently.

Am I correct that Crumb was writing this during the Vietnam War? If so, I mean, I get it. But I now have to coax my cat back out from under the bed, where he hid once this started playing....

Thanks Mike I just found the perfect background music to play when I'm working on my cosmic horror set pieces, appreciate it.

It was inspired by the Vietnam War so it has horrific origins for sure.

Sounds like it was written in the hopes of making it the soundtrack to a supernatural horror flick.

Black Angels is awesome...if you’re in just the right mood. I saw Kronos Quartet perform it live, which was pretty cool.
Jason Hammack
Yup, totally #TeamBridget on that one.

...yeah, I’m with Bridget on this one. Reminds me of my dad’s Eliot Carter album, which he bought because he liked the cover art.

My daughter just now: "Is that the musical equivalent of tinned fish?"
