Im Tired

"A Multiplicity of Doors" by Earth is a glimmering spectacle of minimalism, matching repetitive guitarwork with a cello to create a trance.

"Stalactite Galaxy" by George Fenton is ambient documentary music, filling the space with lush synthesizers in place of a string ensemble.

"Nightmare By The Sea" by Katatonia is a dark rendition of a melodic song, creating a brooding yet engaging atmosphere unlike many other "similar" songs; the gothic metal cover twists its own genre to create a subtle contrast.

Katatonia's piece "Walking By A Wire" creates claustrophobia with its sonic stampede and cryptic lyrics, leaving the listener feeling crushed; in spite of similarities to alternative metal conventions the harshness is softened by a contrasting keyboard part.

Starting with a melodic riff, Omega Massif's instrumental "Im Karst" erupts almost immediately, lurching forward like a stone giant; simultaneously the song seems to aurally represent loneliness.

Blur's "The Debt Collector" transcends interlude cliches by pinning the main melody upon brass instruments; it is joyous yet calm, never hammering on one's ears.

Admittedly Jimmy Eat World's song "Lucky Denver Mint" sounds like Death Cab for Cutie; it captures emo's simplicity while creating an upbeat and catchy melody.

"The Prettiest Weed" by Jim Guthrie transfers wondering and curiosity into a very unique classitronic piece.

If you were wondering about where the dissonant orchestral piece was - it's right here. Fret no more.

"The Dementors Converge" by John Williams mixes disjunct, sharp scatterings of melody with dark yet smooth undertones.

"Bowl of Oranges" by Bright Eyes is a steady folk song, complete with drums, piano, and acoustic guitar. As the piece continues airy instruments enter, urging the song to keep moving.

"Medieval Theme" from Crash Bandicoot 3 throws the seriousness of the usual medieval theme out the window and has a good time. Yes, the song itself has a good time.

"Opus 55" by Dustin O'Halloran is pretty piano music. No other reasoning is necessary. (And you can tell I'm getting tired by this point).
