<Original THIS 1.0 Description>

If you’ve read my explanation/confession/description for “Ominosity,” you’ll have read about how I hate naming songs.  I’ve got no inspiration whatsoever for this song’s name, so it will forever exist as “Unknown”.  If you can think of a better name be sure to let me know.

This song is a byproduct of boredom in its purest form.  Sometimes I find myself in a real rut with the direction my composing is going, so I’ll force myself to sit down and arrange whatever comes out of my brain first.  I’ve always loved “Hall of the Mountain King,” so I figured I’d slaughter it by converting it into MIDI with a tacky drumbeat and strange background synth instruments.  Grieg would kill me if he heard this.  No offense intended, old buddy.  Just trying to get myself out of a rut.  (Thanks for the help.)

Game Over.  You lose.  Failure.  Etc.

Hopefully this song doesn’t make you feel too bad, but it’s not exactly a happy song.  It was originally a “game over” theme so I couldn’t make it too gleeful.  Don’t got much else to say about this one!
