On a related tip, Melissa are you aware of this artist:
Marcus Fjellstömhttp://www.lampse.com/marcus_fjellstrom.htm
Combining his training in classical composition and his experience with electronic music and sound design Marcus Fjellstöm has managed to create his own musical language. Taking his influences from twentieth-century art music, nineteenth-century orchestral/chamber music and avant-garde electronica he has perfected a unique sound that takes us to a new musical universe where timbre and harmony is a dominating force. His music, often impressionistic, slightly abstracted and always poetically pregnant, transcends genres and exists outside the known borders.

Someone recorded it for me in England too, without the crappy real player sound. So hopefully I'll have that in a few days.

When the listen again file comes up, I'll re-record it without the "You've got mail!" bits.

It reminds me of the really beautiful air raid sirens that they sound here once a month.

When I was at U of North Texas, they'd sound an air raid siren as a test every once in a while and the sheer force of it was incredible. People would wince in pain. I had always intended to record it as something of a keepsake.

It's great how it starts off as an eerie textural soundmass and suddenly explodes into that string-plucking percussive interlude (so sick, I just love it).
The string work is Tony Conrad/Penderecki in scope and the playing is marvelous. That kind of dissonant thing---like they're playing totally out of tune, but they're really right there with it. It's perfect.
Jonny can't help his Romantic streak. Dissonance rarely sounds this beautiful.
