A little bit screechy no? It certainly wasn't easy listening! Then again, i suppose i shouldn't have expected the secrets of a dying tree to sound too nice. As the sort of drone you might put in a horror film to unnerve the viewer i think it works very well, it certainly had me on the edge of my seat. But perhaps the occasional break from dissonance would have been nice? I think this sort of music can lose it's effect it it remains unchanging throughout and it started to just get on my nerves. I think a little more progression or song structure could have really improved this piece, but it's still decent for what it is.
