A forgotten feeling

Tonight I sat down to write in my blog and listen to a little music.  I decided to listen to a piece from the sixth volume of the American Society of Composers (now Society of Composers, Inc.) record series: The Tinsel Chicken Coop / Wiener for magnetic tape by Reynold Weidenaar.  It has been a long time since I have has such a strong urge to hit the stop button.  This piece is horrible.  It sounded to me like it was a bunch of sounds haphazardly spliced together.  Now, I realized that this piece was composed in 1977 and the genre and technology had its limits, but this piece makes no sense and not in a good way.  It took some restraint, but I was able to make it through the piece.  At least I was able to accomplish that.
