Sixth-tone Organ Prelude No. 3

To my uneducated ears... it sounds a bit off. *chuckles* Since I've never like animal acts or the circus... your video is therefore just right. My sincerest apologies if I'm out of it.

@Marie: It is off by the standards we typically listen to music, i.e. the 12-tone system. The way to listen is to feel the movement of sound without the associated intervals that we're used to hearing dictating to our minds what the tones "should" sound like. Actually, the more one hears non-12-tone music, the easier it is to flow with the movement of sound. One begins to grow accustomed to these "new" pitches. The emotional content, dynamics and exploration can then lead the way for our minds to flow with the music.  8-)
