Sounds interesting, but at first hearing I’m not sure about the final part as it sounds non-conclusive and less interesting.

Sounded like the orchestra was still tuning up. I could see it as incidental music to a horror film.

“Sounded like the orchestra was still tuning up.” – hardly, considering that’s a random, disconnected noise whereas ARCHORA is so intricately, and clearly, organised and structured. (Did you read what i wrote?)

“I could see it as incidental music to a horror film.” Considering the extent to which horror scores have consistently plundered sounds devised by avant-garde music, that makes sense i guess. Though nothing about ARCHORA remotely suggests “horror” to me.

Fascinating piece of music. Anna’s music is exciting and very unconvensional
